... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreOkay, I know Rick and Morty came out 7 years after this one, but I still find it epic and awesome. This was Aaron Springer's well-known creation before Billy Dilley's Super-Duper Subterranean Summer on Disney XD, which I will admit, is not as fun to watch as this one, but I still love it either way. But THIS is admittedly Aaron Springer's best creation yet. Yes, he hasn't worked on Rick and Morty, but I would imagine IF he did. Heck, he even worked on Samurai Jack before this. Speaking of which, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory and Adult Swim's now owned Samurai Jack, directed the animation for this. Yes, he also produced and directed Springer's other rejected Cartoon Network pilot: Periwinkle Around the World, which also is good, but this one is awesome. It's too bad that the show was not green lit due to incredibly high budgets, and yet Adult Swim green lit Superjail!, Tim and Eric Awesome Show: Great Job, and Xavier Renegade Angel??!! ARE THEY NUTS??!! Oh well, I still find Korgoth of Barbaria to be very awesome. Plus the voice of Hoss Delgado is in this show, which is awesome.
... View MoreKorgoth of Barbaria!!! Ever since having watched "The Barbarians" (1987) -an admittedly poor movie- as a kid, I have been on the seemingly never-ending quest for some at least equally good barbarian entertainment. Just by chance I heard of an adult cartoon named "Korgoth of Barbaria" in which Genndy Tartakovsky (Whom I highly venerate since "Dexter's Laboratory") is involved. And now, finally, after years of searching I have found The ultimate barbarian!!!Korgoth is the most entertaining action cartoon ever! It contains over-the-top violence that is tamed by the never missing hilarious humor of the series. I could hardly stop laughing when I saw the prime episode for the first time. It is just so funny. I actually watched it four times in a row because I could just not believe that I was actually watching the cartoon I've been dreaming about since I was a kid. But do not be mistaken. This is definitely not a cartoon for children. It is one though for grown-ups who are still in touch with their inner child. If you appreciate some good adult entertainment, you're in for one hell of ride.
... View MoreFor once, The Cartoon Channel has done something right for their "Adult Swim" lineup. This cartoon is a lovely parody of the sword-and-sorcery movies, such as "Conan the Barbarian." It is filled with extremely goofy and exaggerated violence and swordplay. It seems like the sort of cartoon John Krikfalusi would do if he were to choose a parody of the barbarian genre (instead, he choose to make the witless new "Ren and Stimpy"). So far, only one episode has been shown, but this new cartoon looks promising. It follows in the same footsteps as the 1981 classic adult cartoon "Heavy Metal," which had some sword and sorcery parodies in their "Den" and "Taarna" sequences, both of which also had over-the-top comic and cartoonish violence. "Korgoth" also features beautiful decapitations, oceans of blood, and grotesque lines of odor emanating from the fetid barbarians. I love the gross touch the cartoonists have made, with flies buzzing around the protagonist as he urinates. Clearly, this cartoon wants you to REALLY experience the smelly world of barbarians.It should be good, as the creator was the storyboarder for "Spongebob Squarepants," already a classic kiddie cartoon that also appeals to adults. Hopefully, Cartoon Channel should pick this one up. If they do, be sure to tune in and see if the quality of the cartoon remains constant.
... View MoreSo there's only been one episode so far and it might be the best new cartoon in ages. Korgoth is a Brock Sampson meets Conan brute who only speaks in raspy one-liners provided by Diedrich Bader who leads ultra violent adventures filled with sexy interchangeable women and ugly interchangeable henchmen. All of this is accompanied by some serious asskicking power metal. This show dances the line between being an homage to 80s 2D animation and a parody of it. I'm glad adult swim allows entertainment like this to air. The shows creator worked on Spongebob and occasionally you can see it in the animation, esp the character movements and expressions. All around very funny and entertaining show, I hope it sticks around.
