Prepare to plunder or walk the plank in Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion, a hilarious Adventure Time story. Gamers play as Finn, Jake, Marceline, and BMO to explore fan-favorite kingdoms, and meet the well-loved characters from Cartoon Network’s popular TV animation series. The game starts with a flooded Land of Ooo, in which familiar kingdoms are cut off from each other by rising waters. In their newly constructed boat (hold that thought*) Finn and Jake set sail to investigate what the junk went down. During their adventures Finn and Jake will recruit friends to join their crew, jump into swashbuckling fights, interrogate characters for clues, and traverse the new and dangerous sea to locations across Ooo.
From our Review: It can’t be a coincidence that the title of Wes Anderson’s “Isle of Dogs” sounds almost exactly like “I Love Dogs.” Anderson’s second stop-motion animated feature is a love letter to canines, the people who love their canines, and the unwavering loyalty that canines have come to represent all over the world. It’s also his mostly vivid and imaginative motion picture to date, and that’s really saying something.
From our Review: After 16 years and a wildly successful Indiegogo campaign, Broken Lizard has brought their iconic Super Troopers back for more shenanigans. Living up to the cult status the original has attained was never going to be easy, but Super Troopers 2 does succeed at standing alongside the first film, though it relies a little too much on your good will towards it.
From our Review: Inspired by the classic arcade game of the same name, Rampage is utterly ridiculous, campy, yet also self-aware enough to be kinda sorta dumb fun. It’s exactly the mindless, formulaic romp it's been sold as, with star Dwayne Johnson trying to carry the whole thing on his charm. But even The Rock can only do so much when a movie's this absurd.
