This film, Luca, is amazing. Directed by the same person behind the Pixar short, La Luna (2011), Enrico Casarosa, this Hayao Miyazaki-inspired masterpiece takes place on an Italian Riviera in the small, fictional town of Portorosso, where two sea monsters, Luca Paguro and Alberto Scorfano, living underwater by the Riviera, who can turn human on dry land, experience an unforgettable summer while trying to hide their sea monster identities, as Portorosso is dedicated to sea monster-hunting. On the way, they meet Genova-student, Giulia Marcovaldo, who comes to Portorosso every summer, who becomes their best friends, because they're Underdogs, and they have to look out for each other. Even though Alberto reveals his sea monster secret out of jealously over their growing relationship, Giulia, and later, the rest of Portorosso and presumably all of the world, come to accept their true identities as sea monsters. In the end, Luca decides to go to school with Giulia after Alberto sells his Vespa in order to get Luca a ticket. On the first half of the end credits, we see Miyazaki-esque drawings of Luca and Alberto, and their families enjoying their new lives in Genova and Portorosso. If you're looking for a Miyazaki-inspired Disney flick, then this film's highly recommended for you. I hope a sequel or a spin-off comes out one day, I would love to see more of Luca and Alberto's adventures. Let's just hope that it doesn't get wound-up off-canon like the.Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2017) TV series, that ruined the entire Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) franchise. Don't forget to check this film and La Luna out, because Enrico's the Italian Miyazaki!

Playing with Fire
(I) (2019)
A Very Memorable Film IMO
9 November 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The only bad thing about it was the various MLP:FiM references in a lot of the scenes. The major plot twist was revealed in a scene where the 3 kids were revealed to be runaway orphans. I really enjoyed John Cena's part in this movie where he cries. Thank god this film premiered instead of what was originally going to be, one of the biggest failures in movie adaptation history. I hope it gets a sequel in the future.
Awesome! Just Awesome!

This is the perfect ending to a perfect series! When the future ending with Toothless and the Lightfury reuniting with Hiccup and his family ended, I started an applause! I hope the next movie I see will be as Awesome like this!
My Life as a Teenage Robot
(2002–2023)
This deserves a reboot!
8 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This show deserves a reboot, and a sequel to their TV Special, "Escape from Cluster Prime". I might do that. Possibly in the year 2030 when I launch my very own TV Network for teens 13-17. The reboot might air on a TV block of my own, possibly on my channel. I'll start with 3 movies, and then a reboot show, and then a S1E10 TV Special sequel to their TV movie. This contains spoilers for the years 2030-2038.
Avengers: Infinity War
(2018)
Worst, yet depressing, ending, ever!
5 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER: At the end when Thanos gets all of the infinity gems, most of the heroes break into particles like a blender 3D breaking vase animation that was sloppily made! I hope someone goes back in time to change the script to give this a better ending!
Early Man
(2018)
Now that's what I call, Twisted (Fictional) History
19 February 2018
That film was amazing, I had just said something quietly in one of the scenes that it was "Twisted History." My mom thought that this history was real, I just corrected mom that I was saying Twisted in a fictional way.
