Nerdbot would like to thank Viz Media for the Press Review Tickets to ‘Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie’ The last time I saw Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie (full title being Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Super S: The Nine Sailor Soldiers Unite! Miracle of the Black Dream Hole) was probably back in 1999. I was fourteen years old, watching a grubby B or C grade fansub from a dirty old VHS clamshell that I bought for too much money from a bootleg seller. Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine the luxury and privilege of seeing a Sailor Moon movie quietly in the…

ScreenRant.com officially states that the third Kingsman movie is reportedly set to begin filming in January 2019, and may introduce characters from the upcoming historical prequel, Kingsman: The Great Game. Based on the Secret Service comics by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, the Kingsman movie franchise has so far seen two highly successful instalments, led by Taron Egerton as fresh-faced spy recruit Eggsy and Colin Firth as his mentor, Harry Hart.

Those men…

This is a Nerdbot “Nerd Voices” contributor post from reader Rachael Brennan. Follow her on Twitter! Everybody remembers the show Friends, right? Set in New York City, the show centered around a group of crazies in their late twenties. Monica was the neurotic one, Ross was the nerd, Chandler was the funny one, Rachel was the stereotypical prom queen, Joey was the dumb one… And Phoebe was the time traveler. Yep, it’s true. Even though they never came right out and said it. It’s crystal clear that Phoebe was very obviously the female equivalent of Bill and Ted. How do I…

Comicbook.com reports that starting with ‘Captain Marvel’, Netflix will no longer be releasing any Marvel Movies. When Disney’s streaming service was announced, one of the biggest questions for Marvel fans was what it meant for the future of Marvel Cinematic Movie home releases. Netflix has been the big debut platform for MCU films after the home video run, but now we know exactly when that era will end. As revealed in a report from the New York Times, Captain Marvel will be the first Marvel Studios film to be offered exclusively through Disney’s streaming service. Ant-Man and the Wasp will be the final MCU movies to get their…

Nerdbot would like to thank Viz Media for providing an advance review copy of ‘That Blue Sky Feeling’.   ‘That Blue Sky Feeling’ is a brand-new manga series published in August 2018 by Viz Media. It is a collaboration by writer Okura and artist Coma Hashii. The easily digestible story is a coming-of-age high school tale about a chubby, well-meanking, ‘genki’ (you know, happy-go-lucky) transfer student named Noshiro. Because his family moved around so much as a kid and he was always attending new schools, Noshiro knows nothing about romance, crushes, love, or feelings of attraction. But within the first…

According to MovieWeb.com, Star Wars 9 to is shaping up to be the Longest Movie in the franchises’ history, possibly resulting in an unexpected Episode X. Or at least, that’s the new rumor floating around the outer husk of Star Wars 9 as we enter the second week of production starting tomorrow. Leaks continue to drizzle out of the Lucasfilm base camp, and the latest is that J.J. Abrams and his team are aiming to have the longest film in the franchise with Episode IX. It might be so long, it gets chopped into two movies. We already know that Episode IX will be loaded…

I want to talk about a film. One that I consider to be one of the greatest examples of cinematic awkwardness I’ve had the displeasure of viewing in my entire life. What’s worse is that the smug teen drama, or “gritty” as it fancies itself, had the audacity to pretend it was a Power Rangers movie. I’m talking about Power Rangers 2017.Having a movie titled under one of my favorite franchises, yet have so little to do with the source material reminded me of when Ninja Resurrection was released and it pretended it was a sequel to the amazing animated…
