S1 Ep. 21- John Wick 3

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures took us to a lot of news a movie I wasn't intending on seeing but I did so it should be a pretty simple and easy week! So let's get started with some news first!

NEWS!
-Avengers: Endgame passes Avatar at the box office as the highest grossing film of all time. This does not surprise me and I'm so excited that it did!
-PS5 Specs announced, I am expecting more information around the time of E3 which I will try my best to do at reviewing. Spider-Man for PS4 had 8.5 second load times and on the PS5 it took 1.8 seconds.
-Vanity Fair releases special edition covers for Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker and even has some information on it and the production of the film.
-June 8th Community Day for Pokemon Go will feature Slakoth, I will be in Margate then but hopefully I'll find some place to play and get my Slaking!
-Earthworm Jim is getting a special edition NES pink cartridge
-Taiko Waititi's live acion Akira film will release in May 2021. I am super excited for this I need to read the rest of Akira, I've only read the first part of the story.

REVIEWS!

John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum

This movie is an extreme action movie with extreme scenes and characters... except John Wick. I know the basis of John Wick and I've seen the ending of the second one but that's it. I was drug to the movie even though I was in the mood to see a movie but it had to be this one. So here we are reviewing it for this week!
I am not a fan of action films due to the lack of story and it just feels like the story takes you through to the next action scene. This one felt just like that except 3 films in and the main character still is a blank page of personality? It just didn't work for me.
Now I will give credit where credit is due, the cinematography of this film was fantastic! The colors and lighting were beautiful and really well done, and there some really great shots with careful framing. I think for me that was the best part of the film because, again, I'm not a big action movie fan.
It was fun to see John Wick killing people with books and horses and a gun that he custom built and used for one bullet but the action scenes were just like "yup, that's an fight scene".
There were a few jokes in the film that I liked, the one with Halle Barrie being upset about her dog being shot and John Wick replying "I know how you feel", the one after boss fight "Hey John... That was a cool fight, wasn't it?"; and the final scene where John flips Morpheus off.
This film was basically like "Hey you liked the Matrix right?" and then just made a film for those fans. But is it going on my ultimate shelf? No way Jose! Not even close!

Next week... Aladdin! All the best, Ross

S2 Ep. 1- Top 10's of the Decade

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes us on a journey to the past! 2010 and onward! What were my favorite albums, songs, video games, and movies from the past decade? What better way to kick off the new year, decade, and season than taking a look back! So here we go, season 2! Top 10 of the OT's! TOP 10 ALBUMS 10. "Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino is one the quintessential albums of the decade. The cultural and musical influences he uses and creates with this album are astonishing! 9. "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters is one of many they released this decade but is the album I believe is their best of them all. Even with "Concrete and Gold's" production value and "Sonic Highways" concept, this one is just the best. 8. "Sugar" by G. Love and Special Sauce is the return to form for the underrated group. Jimi Jazz returns on bass to create one of the legendary trio...

S2 Ep. 4- April Showers Bring More Adventures

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This month's adventures take us to a bunch of places including AWOLNATION, Bumblebee, Midgar, and Camp Verde. It's been a pretty solid month with some pretty solid adventures! Let's see which one tops the list and which ones fall flat! 8. "Fetch the Bolt Cutters" by Fiona Apple This album is not at all what I expected it to be at all. I really liked Fiona Apple's older hits but I never actually dove into her discography past that. I didn't really know what I was jumping into and what I heard was not my favorite. The lyrics are cool, some of the piano work is really good but the songs are just strange and that's not really my vibe in music tastes. The songs that stick out on this one are "Shameika" and "Under the Table" but other than that it's just an odd album which isn't my thing. 7. "The New Abnormal" by The Strokes This is the strokes 6th studio al...

S1 Ep. 8- Dream Academy

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventures includes 2 new trailers, a review of Netflix's new show The Umbrella Academy, and Dream Theater's new album "Distance Over Time". This is the first episode on the new schedule, all episodes of Thrak Attack (blog, podcast, and video) will be up every Sunday to start your week off with an adventure. So with all of that out of the way, let's get into some news. NEWS! -The Punisher and Jessica Jones have been cancelled by Netflix. Good. I've disliked a majority of those seasons they are just too long and drawn out. Hopefully we get a season 2 of the Defenders though to wrap everything up. -Batman and the Ninja Turtles are getting their own cartoon movie crossover and the 12 year old in me is going bananas! This sounds awesome and I'm excited to see these two franchises interact with one another. -Clampearl is getting a specialty research event in Pokemon Go, I don't kn...
