Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge

***Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge*** (Japanese: ドラゴンボールZ とびっきりの最強対最強) is a 1991 Japanese animated science-fiction action film and the fifth *Dragon Ball Z* animated feature, originally released in Japan on July 20 at the Toei Anime Fair.

## Plot

After destroying the tyrannical Frieza on Namek, Son Goku returns to a peaceful life with his family on Earth. When informed that his younger brother was killed by the Super Saiyan of Legend, Cooler becomes hellbent on making Goku pay for disgracing his family's honor. Goku must find the power within him to defeat a monster who's even more powerful than Frieza.

## Why It Rocks

1. This movie tries some new things with its formula, such as putting more focus on Piccolo, Krillin and Gohan in the battles and spicing the battle sequences with samurai film-like elements.
2. Cooler, Frieza's older brother and the film's main antagonist, is a really great villain whose Fifth Form transformation is one of the best in *Dragon Ball* history.
3. This film greatly shows Goku at his emotional breaking point, identical to the one that caused his first transformation into a Super Saiyan on Namek.
4. A pretty powerful scene where Goku picks up a dead bird after being pummelled by Cooler, lets out a yell so powerful it cracks solid stone and transforms into his Super Saiyan form, giving enough of his energy to revive the bird.
5. This film does a great job of doing a mini-saga with a new villain, full of character development, motivations and a good, satisfying ending.

## Bad Qualities

1. At only 47 minutes long, it's rather short.
2. While *DBZ* fans will enjoy the battles and the villain, the plot suffers from being a bit shallow as it only focuses on Cooler's plan to kill Goku and destroy the Earth.

## Trivia

* A direct sequel, *Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler*, was released a year later.
Kamptoceridae

## Families

* Kamptoceros
* Microceros

Kamptoceridae is a family of odd-toed ungulates that includes the modern kamptoceros and the Cialimac kamptoceros. All members, both living and extinct are commonly referred to as kamptoceros or kamptos for short. Both species are native to the old world, with one being found in Ontura, and the other in southern Tanisea.

Both living species of kamptoceros are threatened due to poaching and habitat destruction, as their horns are made of keratin, which was a valuable resource for jewelry in the 16th - 19th centuries.
Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie

***Ben 10 Versus the Universe: The Movie** is a **Ben 10** movie that aired on Cartoon Network on October 10, 2020, was digitally released the next day and serves as the one-hundred sixty-seven to one-hundred seventy-second episodes of the series. It was later released on DVD on October 27. It is the 5th movie in the Ben 10 series and the first to be based off the Reboot.*

## Plot

When a blast from Ben's past - Vilgax - returns to do double the damage on Team Tennyson and planet Earth itself, Ben must go interstellar to save the day while Gwen and Grandpa Max team-up with Kevin to protect the world in Ben's absence, but when our boy hero is confused for the villain in space, Ben is forced to defend himself in the trial of a century!

## Why It Faces The Universe

1. Stays faithful to the show extremely well, such as some scenes from older episodes making apperances.
2. All of the characters are a lot more likable in this movie.
	1. Ben went from an annoying, hyper kid into a brave hero who acts like his Classic Series version.
	2. Gwen went from a goody two-shoes into a kindhearted sidekick who deeply cares for her cousin
3. This movie brings back several fan-favorite aliens, like Goop and Waybig.
	1. Also, there are Null Void prisoners that resemble Ghostfreak, Eye Guy, Ripjaws, Blitzwolfer and Wildmutt
4. This movie can feel like a big homage to Secret of the Omnitrix, as both movies have Ben go into space, both feature Eye Guy and Waybig, Azmuth debuted in both movies and Tetrax even makes an apperance in both films.
5. Introduces the Omni-Naut forms, while they are just a way to sell toys, they do look pretty nice and are very well-designed. Sadly, we didn't see them much after this movie.
6. The Incurseans make their grand debut. Unlike the original show, where they are evil. Here, they are good and help Ben save the world.
7. The main antagonist, Vilgax, is even more threatening here than he was in the show. In this movie, he is very similar to his Classic Series counterpart. In this movie, he managed to destroy a entire city and absorbed Kevin's Antitrix, gaining the Alien V transformation and managed to almost kill Glitch and Kevin.
8. Tetrax also revealed that his goal was to capture the Omnitrix for Azmuth, and that he wasn't a bad guy. Kevin also turned good in this movie and teamed up with Ben, Gwen, Max and Phil to stop Vilgax, similar to how he turned good in Alien Force.
9. Excellent voice acting for all of the characters.
10. Epic fight scenes, most notably Waybig vs Vilgax.

## Bad Qualities

1. The Omni-Naut forms, while cool, are only made to sell toys and they were never seen again.
2. Ben can be kind of unlikable at times, especially in the beginning.

Memorable scenes such as Carl eating a Baby Ruth candy bar that's been mistaken for feces, Al causing havoc on the lake with his massive cabin cruiser, the bishop's near-perfect game of golf (set to the main theme from *The Ten Commandments*) and the grand finale where the golf course is blown up.
7. The gopher is a great adversary for Carl Spackler.

3. Some product placement, such as Cheerios and Baby Ruth.

## Why it Rocks

1. The animation is phenomenal with its fast-paced, clean, and rough style that integrates 2D and 3D into the wonderfully-produced backgrounds.
2. While *Battle of Gods* was an amazingly fun light-hearted adventure in the style of the original *Dragon Ball*, this film was a badass action-packed movie that harkened back to the days of *Dragon Ball Z*.

7. It perfects the mix of action and humor and creates one heck of a ride.
8. The weaker characters finally get their moments in the spotlight and it is so good to see characters such as Roshi and Tien throw down.
9. The story-line isn't too complicated and is easy enough to swallow without any analyzing.

## Bad Qualities

1. Toei Animation kept the film at the standard 28 fps (which is really bad for an animated film) and would occasionally seem laggy, and choppy.
2. During his battle with Frieza, Goku can be unlikeable at times when it comes to taking his fight with him for too long and didn't let Vegeta take turns until he was badly injured.

Chariots of Fire

***Chariots of Fire*** is a 1981 British historical drama film. It tells the fact-based story of two athletes in the 1924 Olympics: Eric Liddell, a devout Scottish Christian who runs for the glory of God, and Harold Abrahams, an English Jew who runs to overcome prejudice.

The film's title was inspired by the line, "Bring me my chariot of fire," from the William Blake poem adapted into the popular British hymn "Jerusalem"; the hymn is heard at the end of the film. The original phrase "chariot(s) of fire" is from 2 Kings 2:11 and 6:17 in the Bible.

His pinpoint accuracy not only saves countless lives but also makes him a prime target of insurgents.

3. The acting is authentic.
4. Well done battle re-enactments.
5. Actual footage of Chris's funeral is shown during the end credits.

## Bad Qualities

He had always planned on joining after school. Also, the injuries he sustained during his Bronko Riding actually caused the Navy to reject him, but later on they reversed the decision.
2. The infamous fake baby scene.
3. There is a scene in the film where a child is murdered with a drill through the head in front of his father. That scene drags out for too long and is very upsetting and disturbing.

## Reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds an approval rating of 72%, based on 294 reviews, with an average rating of 6.90/10.

David and Bathsheba

**David and Bathsheba** is a 1951 biblical Technicolor epic film produced by 20th Century-Fox and starring Gregory Peck as King David. It was directed by Henry King and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, with a screenplay by Philip Dunne and cinematography by Leon Shamroy.
The film follows King David's life and his relationship with Uriah's wife Bathsheba, played by Susan Hayward. Goliath is portrayed by 6 ft 8 in (2.03 m) Lithuanian wrestler Walter Talun.

## Plot

As an adaptation of the Second Book of Samuel, this film covers the life of David ben Jesse, the second king of Israel. David returns to Jerusalem after a military victory over the Philistines. En route, a cart bearing the Ark of the Covenant hits a rut and threatens to capsize. Uzzah, a captain in David's own army, reaches out to prevent the Ark from falling to the ground. He abruptly dies, sacrificing himself in the process. While the prophet Nathan declares this the will of God, a skeptical David pronounces it the result of heat-stroke combined with too much wine. David becomes attracted to Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, another captain in David's army.
The attraction is mutual, although both know an affair would break the law of Moses. When Bathsheba discovers she is pregnant from the affair, David sends for Uriah, hoping the Hittite captain will spend time with his wife and thus cover her pregnancy. David's wife Michal, who knows of the affair, tells David that Uriah did not go home; he slept at the castle, as a sign of loyalty to his king. The frustrated David orders Uriah to be placed on the front line, and for his own troops to withdraw, thus leaving Uriah to die, which he does. David sends a dispatch to tell Bathsheba of her husband's death, and the two plan their marriage.
Nathan informs David that the Israelites are dissatisfied with his leadership; they want David's sons to rule. Nathan goes on to mention that David has forgotten his role as a servant of the Lord. Shortly after David marries Bathsheba, a drought hits Israel and the couple's newborn child dies. Nathan returns to tell David that God is displeased with him. However, he will not die as the law demands, but will be punished through misfortune in his family. David takes full responsibility, insisting Bathsheba is blameless, but the people still want her killed. David plans to save Bathsheba, but she tells David they are both equally at fault.
David is reminded of the Lord and quotes Psalm 23 as he plays his harp. David tells Bathsheba she will not die; he accepts God's justice for himself. A repentant David, seeking relief from the drought as well as forgiveness, enters the Holy of Holies. He begs God not to punish Israel for sins which their king alone committed. David touches the Ark as a suicide attempt. There is a clap of thunder, followed by flashbacks to David's youth, depicting his anointing by Samuel, his battle with Goliath, and the like.
King David removes his hands from the Ark. Outside, rain falls on the dry land.

Toto and Willy, with the help of the brave little egg Bibi and other friends, will have to avoid a couple of hungry tlacuaches, bravely cross the house of freaks, face a gang of reptile eggs and train birds to achieve their goal.

## Why this movie had a lot of eggs?

1. To this day it is considered one of the best Mexican animated films ever made.
2. The quality of the animation is spectacular and what makes it even more retro is the soundtrack with songs such as Walkie Talkie Man, Speed of Sound, Lights and Sounds, Hazme una Señal, El Caballero del Amor, Suda Meri Cano, Go Go Girl, etc.
3. The story is very well told and developed, even the double entendre jokes have a different context so that they go unnoticed by children.
4. Toto, Willy, Bacon, Bibi, Coco and the other are very likeable characters for all the audience and you can well understand their motivations.
5. Serp is a great antagonist for the central point of the story (alongside Coco's Dad and Family's Cat).
	* The Tlacuaches are like a comic relief, which they don't stay behind.
6. At the end of the film there's some bloopers, just like Imaginum did it one year back.
7. It was one of the highest-grossing Mexican films at the time, placing it in second place.
8. The film's message of achieving a dream was not only conveyed to the audience, as the director and all the filmmakers behind the film succeeded in creating a quality animated film in Mexico.
