Hey everyone! How were your weekends? Mine was good. Not too busy, but the weather was nice. So today I'm here for the monthly blog update to let you know what I'm hoping to do on the blog in the month of June. So let's get right into it.
This is the logo for my new series. VHS Reviews. I've tried this in the past in various forms, but every past attempt has just turned into regular movie reviews for movies that came out from before I was born to the present day. However, I'm taking inspiration from YouTube for this. For those of you who watch Cinemassacre, you might remember that for a while James Rolfe did a series called Rental Reviews, where he and some friends would sit in James's basement video store setup and review movies that could be rented at a video store back in the day. They ended the series about a year ago. However, Tony, one of James's friends has been doing a successor to that series, called Talking About Tapes on his channel, Hack The Movies. Though Tony's show has a much broader focus than the mostly obscure stuff that Rental Reviews was about. So my plan is to do something similar, where I write about movies that were on VHS originally and if I have the tape then I'll watch the tape. If I don't have the movie on tape, I'll watch it in whatever form I have it on such as DVD, Blu-ray or digitally. Especially since Disney+ has so many movies on it from the VHS era, including Fox stuff, Muppets stuff, Pixar, and their own Disney stuff. I'll be doing regular movie reviews for movies that were released after the VHS era, including some more modern films that I have access to on Disney+.
I'm also going to be revisiting movies in this format that I already have reviews for up on this blog like The Terminator, Dick Tracy, the first four Star Wars movies, The Black Hole, and Tron, among others. So that'll be interesting. The first movie I'm going to be looking at in this format is going to be the 2000 direct-to-video movie compilation of the first five episodes of The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Teddy Ruxpin: The Movie. And that will be coming out on Friday.
Also this week Raya and the Last Dragon is being released outside of Premier Access on Disney+ so I'm going to watch it on Saturday night and then I'll have my review of it up on Sunday. Yes, it's late and people probably don't care anymore, but this is what happens when I have to wait for movies to leave Premier Access before I can watch them.
Otherwise I'm halfway through the Sailor Moon manga and it's pretty good so far. That review is going to be up sometime in the next two weeks, but I can't promise exactly when it's going to come out. So far I've been averaging one volume every two days as I take the books with me when I go outside during the day and I get quite alot read in the hour and a half to two hours that I'm out there for. Technically I could read one volume a day, but I'm forcing myself to slow down just a little bit.
Once I'm finished reading the Sailor Moon manga I'm gonna get back to regular comic book reviews as well as novel reviews. Right now though I'm focusing on getting the manga finished as it's taking up pretty much all of my reading time right now. Other than that I don't think there was anything else that I wanted to tell you. I mean, eventually I'll have a review for season 2 of The Orville out though that won't be until July or maybe early August since my sister and I are only watching one episode a week.
I guess that's going to be it for this update. I'll be back on Friday with my review of Teddy Ruxpin: The Movie. So until then have a great week and I'll talk to you all later. Take care.
