Cinema in Review - The Dark Knight Rises



Joe takes a look at the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Gexup - My Top 25 Favorite Animated Movies



    I’ve watched animated movies, animated television series, comic books, and so much more that has to do with animation my entire life and still to this day I’ve never lost my interest in animation. For me, any sort of animation is the perfect choice of escapism that takes anyone off of reality and wrap in a hand-drawn or computer-animated world coming straight out from our modern artist’s imagination. It is why I want to start doing animation reviews on itstailtime.net because of my unconditional love with animation. In my animation reviews you’re going to see me review any sort of animation from animated features, cartoon series, comic book series, comic strips, anime, manga, and more. Surprisingly enough my first entry for Gexup’s Animation reviews is My Top 25 Animated Films.

Probably most of you are thinking it should be better if I should have made this a surprise doing this list much later, unlike my video game reviews where I show you guys my taste in video games and soon reveal my Top 10 Favorite games of all time. The truth is I want you guys to know what kind of animated films I love right after reading this list rather than just building up to my highlight in revealing favorites of all time of list, like what I’m still currently doing my video game reviews. I wanted to do my own animated movies list right after Rants on the Run Episode 3 where Cendoo, Zookstar1000, and I went through IGN’s Top 25 Animated Movies list and reacted emotionally with anger and dissatisfaction. If you haven’t seen that episode, you should click on the link below to understand my taste for animation.

    Nevertheless, let me describe what kind of picks I’ve made in [my] own Top 25 List. I’m an animation-buff; a person who will give any sort of animation a chance (if it has a neat concept) but the ones I seek for is outstanding animation quality that feels so natural and mesmerizing when characters, objects, and anything moving on screen moves so smoothly that it should be taken like art. Anything that looks cheap, lackluster, or looks simplistic is something I won’t bother to care for. Secondly, I want in animated films is a really and I do mean really good plot. I really grind my teeth when there are older audiences who sees animated films as just for children because for that reason alone, Hollywood animation studios like to give their audiences plots that are not challenging or anything remarkable in a sort of way, while live-action films somehow is reserved for the best scripts. Children’s animated films can be challenging as well, but still to this day animated films aimed for children doesn’t take its’ that demographic idiotically. You’re not going to see my picks that are there for nostalgia; I’m taking off my nostalgia-goggles for the sake of quality, great storytelling, entertainment value, and artistic value, so this list is not going to be flooded with Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, or just anime fill up the list. Keep in mind that [my] Top 25 Animated Movies list is more than just my personal opinion, but they are films that inspired me to become an animator and make animated films for a living, not a list that’s trying to prove that it’s the best of all time. With that being said, here is my Top 25 Animated Films
