SPOILERS AHEAD With the end of Fox here at our feet, it's a strange feeling to think of SkySoft continuing without the show. It was the series that started everything. Its pretty safe to say that without Fox there would be no SkySoft. Originally started as a passion project with a dream to achieve more, Fox brought so many talents together from around the world. Although the show was shot [for the majority] in San Diego, California- the post production team shared digital files across the net from several places within the nation and in three other countries. This process of post- production is nothing new; Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was shot primarily in Australia and digital files were sent to SkyWalker Ranch and other offices to piece together before the due date. Its the only way to get a huge project done in a short amount of time. In the age of YouTube, where everything is done by primarily one person, three people at most- this process put SkySoft on a whole differen...

Courtesy of Sony Pictures Releasing By Daniel Andrade With the summer movie season fast approaching, it’s become almost inevitable at this point to expect to see a blockbuster superhero movie on the big screen. Since Marvel began their ambitious cinematic universe 11 years ago, we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing some of our favorite heroes come to life with epic fight scenes, fun interactions with some charismatic characters, and a happy ending to make us feel better as we walk out the theater. But maybe that’s the problem: these movies have become too  predictable . Don’t get me wrong, I will still go and see all of them and have a great time doing so, but I will generally know exactly what I’m getting myself into. But then along comes  Brightburn . This movie takes those beats that you’ve come to expect in any other traditional superhero movie and flips them on their heads. You’re not watching the origins of a new hero, here to save the world and fight for the good of...

Courtesy of Disney By Daniel Andrade I must start this review with a confession: the animated Aladdin movie is easily my favorite Disney film of all time. I grew up on that film, watching it constantly and repeatedly throughout my childhood, so much so that I could practically quote the entire film. Maybe it was because there was a brown character screen that I could relate to. Maybe it was the unforgettable songs that I would hum or sing aloud long after the film had ended. Maybe it was Robin William’s iconic performance as the genie. Whatever the reason, Aladdin was, and remains to this day, my favorite Disney movie, and easily one of my Top 5 movies in general. So when I saw that they were remaking it in live action, I was in a weird position. On the one hand, seeing this movie come to life in a way I would’ve never imagined was exciting for me, there was a lot of potential. But on the other hand, this is a movie that is so important to me and holds such a pivotal role in ...

Courtesy of Warner Bros. By Daniel Andrade One of the first video game systems I ever owned was a Nintendo Game Boy, and I got three games to start off my dive into the world of video games: Tetris, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, and Pokémon Blue. And while I certainly had fun playing each of those games, only one really absorbed all my time and energy during countless car rides and late nights, and that was Pokémon. Suffice to say, I’ve been a fan ever since and have played almost every iteration of the game since then, and of course you know I was a fan of the original anime show as well! I collected the cards, I knew the Pok é Rap, I knew the names of all of the original 151 Pokémon, I even saw the first few animated movies in theaters. I grew up on Pokémon, so when I saw that a live-action Pokémon movie was coming, a wave of nostalgia rushed over me and I knew I had to see it.             Pokémon Detec...

© Point Grey Pictures By: Daniel Andrade Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen are two celebrities you wouldn’t expect to see in the same movie, let alone as love interests for each other. One is an Academy Award winning actress often known for her elegance and sophistication. The other is a notorious stoner with an oddly annoying yet infectious laugh. But somehow, Long Shot makes this seemingly impossible love story work, and has you laughing throughout its entire run time.             Long Shot tells the story of the ambitious Charlotte Field (portrayed by Theron), Secretary of State for the United States with plans to become the first female President, and Fred Flarsky (portrayed by Rogen), an investigative reporter who isn’t afraid to speak his mind, for better and for worse. They are from two totally different worlds, but are connected to each other through their past, since they actually went to high school togethe...
