Redline – Anime Review

November 27, 2019 by hpholo 1 Comment

While watching Promare’s spectacular animation, I was reminded quite a bit of Redline, and then when writing my Promare review, I realized I’d never actually reviewed Redline. So I’m here to remedy that. Redline is a 2009 anime that follows the gloriously pompadoured Sweet JP as he and his Trans Am compete to win the […]

Promare – Anime Review

November 27, 2019 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Pssh. Right, like a Trigger movie would come to our local theatre and it NOT be a Mandatory Date Night. Promare starts with a literal bang, as half the world’s population spontaneously bursts into flames, thus marking the Great World Blaze and the appearance of the Burnish – people with fire-manipulating powers who set the […]

Detective Pikachu – Movie Review

May 21, 2019 by hpholo Leave a Comment

I showed up to an early preview of Detective Pikachu in my full-body Pikachu jammies, fueled by 20 years of Pokemon nostalgia and an insatiable love of bad movies, so there was no way I wasn’t going to like this thing. View this post on Instagram MY MOMENT HAS COME ⚡️⚡️⚡️ (Lol like I was […]

Mary Poppins Returns – Movie Review

January 21, 2019 by hpholo 1 Comment

In Mary Poppins Returns, there’s a song titled “A Cover is not the Book.” It’s about various whimsical figures who are not what they seem on the surface, but it might as well be about the movie itself: What looks to be an expensive, nostalgia-reliant cash grab is…well, still an expensive, nostalgia-reliant cash grab, but […]

Kingsman: The Golden Circle – Movie Review

October 18, 2017 by hpholo Leave a Comment

Kingsman: The Secret Service is so beloved a movie in House Holo that when Kingsman: The Golden Circle was announced, it called for a Mandatory Date Night. In The Golden Circle, Eggsy’s life as Galahad is good. He’s a new but accomplished agent of the Kingsman, and at the moment his biggest challenge is impressing […]

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies – Movie Review

February 11, 2016 by hpholo Leave a Comment

I consider myself a connoisseur of terrible movies, an Austenite, and mildly interested in zombies, so there was no film that I as more excited to see this year than Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I wasn’t let down – it was a hot mess – but is it a hot mess worth watching? That […]

Interstellar – Movie Review

November 10, 2014 by holojacob Leave a Comment

IN SHORT: The Earth’s blighted crops are dying off. Now a small group of astronauts must venture beyond our solar system in hopes of finding a new home for humanity. WHAT IT IS: A fantastically imaginative film that explores several hard science theories while maintaining a heart wrenching father-daughter core to it. Black holes, wormholes, […]

Ender’s Game – Movie Review

November 11, 2013 by holojacob Leave a Comment

IN SHORT: Aliens invaded and kicked our butts. Now it’s our turn to show them who’s boss by unleashing our most terrifying weapon … children. WHAT IT IS: A phenomenal sci-fi adventure with brains, beauty, and thrilling action. WHAT IT IS NOT: This is not your typical YA movie. Ender’s story is not a cheerful […]

August 22, 2013 by holojacob 2 Comments

IN SHORT: In a dystopian future, a vicious gang leader locks down a skyscraper in order to kill two judges. Unfortunately for her, these “judges” come packing some serious heat.

July 13, 2013 by holojacob 2 Comments

IN SHORT: Giant alien monstrosities invade Earth through an interdimensional portal deep in the Pacific Ocean. The solution to this problem? Giant frickin’ robots!
