Observer Archives Coming Soon

As it's been awhile since I've gotten the courage to write, I'm going to be posting some of my old reviews that I wrote while I was on The Observer newspaper for Rutgers University-Newark. I figured it'll be interesting to anyone who's read what I have brought here up to this point. I have also decided that this weekend will be a good time for me to finish the Pan's Labyrinth review, but I can't be making promises that I can't keep anymore, it's not fair to me or to readers who are waiting constantly. But as of today, the uploading of old work shall commence. Enjoy!

I'm taking requests, again!!!

I've decided to try my blog again. It's been a good amount of time since I've written anything on here, and I feel bad that I never finished my last requests. My first mission is to finish them and from there, I'll be starting on newer posts. I'm open to more requests for any type of film that I can write on

The Mighty Boosh Review Pt. 1: Intro and Season 1

I know I said in my introduction that I would review films, but I think T.V. shows can be just as thought provoking and sometimes better than most films.

As the title says that show is The Mighty Boosh, a surreal comedy from the U.K. The first time I laid eyes ever on this show was during a commercial for it on Adult Swim, which was playing it at the time. I never stood up to watch it because it aired at 1 a.m. and I like to usually sleep during that time, also I was only 14 and   had strict bed rules. I didn't come across it again until recently when I was looking up another British comedian on YouTube. The suggested section showed clips of the show and I was instantly hooked. As I do with most new things I like, I looked up everything on it and made it my mission to know everything there is to know about it. Just from the logo you can te

The Mighty Boosh Review Pt. 2 : Season 2 and Changes

Image
My last post was about the first season of The Mighty Boosh. As the title suggests, I'm going to review as best as I can the second season of the show and all the while acknowledging the changes the show goes through. To start off, Howard and Vince are no longer zookeepers and the setting is completely changed from the Zooniverse to an apartment (or flat) which is owned by the shaman Naboo and also inhabited by Bollo, who is now Naboo's animal spirit. Since Howard and Vince are no longer zookeepers, they're essentially retconned as two friends in a band trying to make it big. Their wardrobe is also more colorful and outlandish, or at least Vince's are: The big issue I had the most was continuity, mainly because there is little to no continuity on the show. Bollo died in the first season but is brought back and events that happened in each episode are never mentioned again. Other than that, the second season in my opinion is the best of the whole series in visuals a
