Yellow Flash

Possibly the GREATEST Street Fighter game, and fighting games in general, of all time. The sprites look like they were taken straight from Street Fighter II The Animated Movie. Super combos are out of this world, and are not hard to execute. The roster is awesome (although a part of me wishes this game had the roster of Alpha 3). The music for this game still sits in my head since 1996. I love this game more than words can even describe!

From all the positives reviews I saw of this film, I was hoping for something better than what I got. Director Jacob Chase doesn't bring anything fresh or new to this genre. The movie is extremely paint-by-the-numbers in terms of jump scares, plot, atmosphere, and characters. Even the setting, centered around the of use of smart phones and tablets, feels very played out and dry. Gillian Jacobs gives the worst acting performance of her career. When she's asking the TV why it's haunting her and her family, her delivery of most of her lines comes out as forced and dull. I busted out laughing. The "monster" Larry, even seems photoshopped and copied from other 2010s horror films. Skip this flick. It's a waste of your time, honestly. 🤷‍♂️😒

Saw this last night, and I gotta say, I don't understand all the hate this movie gets. I like that it does a balancing act between being a YA and horror film. The movie is a decent running time too, not overly long. I thought the casting, other than Sunspot and Cecilia Reyes, was practically spot on to the comic book characters they represent. Ana Taylor-Joy's performance as Magik is the standout of this film. She LOOKS and ACTS just like Magik does in the comics. She's in the tier of very few actors that completely embodies their comic book counterpart. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and I thought it was way better than Tom Hardy's disastrous Venom movie, which everyone seems to love for some odd reason....🤔
