Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the most iconic monsters in Dungeons & Dragons is the gelatinous cube. Imagined by creator E. Gary Gygax himself in the very first edition of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, the gelatinous cube is a staple foe that players encounter early on in their adventuring. (It has an entry-level challenge rating of "2" in the current version of D&D. That's low.) The cube moves slowly but can be very dangerous once it gets close, as it absorbs victims and slowly digests them while they float helplessly inside.
- GoofsWhen The Manticore is telling Laurel about the curse, she tears off her sleeves to reveal expository tattoos on her arms. However, when Laurel initially asks about the curse, The Manticore's left sleeve is already seen to be torn off as the tattoo is already visible.
- Crazy creditsA nod to a role-playing classic in the closing credits: "Special thanks to the D&D team at Wizards of the Coast for use of The Beholder and The Gelatinous Cube"
- Alternate versionsThe movie is also presented in a 3D version, the IMAX-Enhanced version and the 4DX-Enhanced version.

Extremely underrated emotional road trip - Onward
This movie will give you laughs as well as leave you in sobs. Fun, action-packed and emotional, it's a great watch.
Elven brothers Ian and Barley lost their father when they were too young to remember him. But on Ian's 16th birthday, they receive a special gift - something that can help revive their father for one day. But as expected, they mess up the spell and their father is left only with legs.
I do not know why this film is so underrated, considering it's full of that Pixar magic. Fantasy world? Ok, that's pretty common. Suburban fantasy world? You don't see that every day. It's a burst of imagination, really.
Unlike most films that shy away from deep themes and stay on the 'clear path', Onward shows how hard it is to lose someone. If you haven't seen it, watch today!
