Why I Hate The Minions

I'm sure just one glimpse at that headline is enough to make many of you conclude that I have no soul, hate joy in any form and am a remorseless monster. But my reasoning behind my hatred for these yellow creations is more complex than all that. No, it derives from how these things are such blatant ploys for marketing without contributing to the stories they feature in a notable manner. Now, I'm not naive; looking at fellow modern day animated comic sidekicks like Baymax, Toothless and Olaf, those characters are obviously adorable, in part, so they can look good on a toy shelf.

John Wick Review

A Shot In The Dark Becomes A Bullseye

There's one indisputable fact on this planet; puppies are adorable. I'm pretty partial to pugs myself, but all kinds of adorable puppies grace this Earth and make the world a better to place to be. The awesomeness of puppies was proved with Tom Hardy in The Drop last month, and now Keanu Reeves gets to pile on more evidence to this fact with John Wick. Reeves play the titular character, a widower whose sole solace from the pain he feels from his wife's passing is a puppy named Daisy his deceased wife gave him just before her passing.
