The series follows Taiki Inomata, a high school student and badminton player, as he navigates the complexities of friendship and love while pursuing his dream of becoming a champion. A new addition to Netflix's 2024 anime lineup, *Blue Box* offers a charming blend of sports, romance, and the bittersweet nature of youth. The story centers on Taiki, who balances his badminton aspirations with growing feelings for Chinatsu, a basketball player and close friend. The characters are relatable, capturing the challenges of adolescence in a lighthearted way, filled with moments that resonate with anyone who has ever been young and harbored dreams. One of the series' strengths is its character development. Taiki, voiced with sincerity by Shouya Chiba, is not merely the typical protagonist chasing a dream; he embodies the essence of effort and determination while grappling with self-doubt and the complexities of teenage relationships. Chinatsu, voiced by Reina Ueda, brings a refreshing pe...

Snow White 2025 Movie Review Trailer

 Disney has released the first full trailer for Snow White, the live-action remake of the 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's one of the most outrageously awful trailers I've ever seen. From the nightmarish special-effects dwarves to the oversaturated visual effects to the bizarre casting choices, Snow White combines everything wrong with modern cinema into one hideous monstrosity, a film that may go down in history as the straw that broke the Mouse's back, once and for all.

That would be nice. If Disney loses hundreds of millions on Snow White, maybe they'll stop churning out this low-effort trash. Maybe they'll do some soul-searching. Right now, the formula at Disney seems to be pretty simple:

Director: Marc Webb
Writers: Erin Cressida Wilson, Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon
Stars: Rachel Zegler, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Swift

Take a beloved classic animated film and turn it into a live-action version with tons of special effects. Replacing the leads to fit DEI quotas, putting no effort at all into a decent script but still making huge changes to the original to fit the current political zeitgeist. Sending out famous cast-offs on a press tour with a shovel to dig their own proverbial graves, which they will no doubt accomplish with flying colors. Releasing a subpar product that no one likes as much as the original despite the absolutely forgettable new songs. When it flops at the box office, hiding behind the diverse cast, blaming “haters and bigots” to deflect legitimate criticism and clumsily explaining away the bad numbers.


This certainly seems to be what’s happening with Snow White. The film oozes special effects to the point where it’s hard to even look at it in the trailer. Rachel Zegler is not Snow White and, worse, she’s been one of the most notoriously tone-deaf Hollywood stars during her press tour for the film. From the trailer alone we can tell that they are completely changing the 1937 script so that Snow White can be the victorious heroine. She talks about “restoring our kingdom” and so on. Surely, she will rescue Prince Charming from the evil witch in the end.


I am all for stories with tough princesses, but are we really so sure that female audiences don’t like a Prince Charming showing up to save the princess from time to time too? I know some people will tell you that it is very sexist and retrograde to have princes and knights saving princesses and damsels in distress, but I am not sure that most people really believe that.


In any case, there are certainly stories that retell the Snow White fable with her taking on a more warrior-like role, like Snow White and the Huntsman, and I agree with that. But what is the point of remaking the 1937 film if you completely change the story in the process? The film looks pretty bad, though, with a hodgepodge of ideas, overly aggressive special effects and at least one totally boring new song. The film comes out next March. I don't have much hope.
