Dragon Ball Super: Broly Review
Time and time again, Dragon Ball proves why it’s one of the greatest anime/manga of all time. It’s latest installment to the franchise, Dragon Ball Super: Broly proves just that.
This movie is definitely a rollercoaster from start to finish. Everything from the action to the emotional moments, this movie delivers. The change from Broly being an evil psychotic mass murderer to a more sympathetic lonely warrior was a well needed change.
It was also nice to get background information on the Saiyan race. While there are a few changes from the previously established lore of the series, it doesn’t bother me too much. Seeing how Planet Vegeta operates and how Frieza comes into power was a nice touch.
The main thing people love about this movie, as do I, is with no doubt the animation. This animation for this movie was nothing short of beautiful and deserves all the praise it gets. The art style is simple yet so fluid and it shows during the fight scenes in this movie.
This is probably hands down, my favorite Dragon Ball movie no question. If people think this series is burnt out and dead, they’re dead wrong. This series definitely has more to tell and I can wait to see what direction it’ll take.
As for my personal score of the movie, s definitely solid 9 out of 10 only because the transition scenes in the beginning are a little choppy for me. But other than that, awesome from start to finish. Dragon Ball Super, if you haven’t seen it, see it ASAP before it leaves theaters.
Man Allegedly Threatened Mass Shooting Against Women because he’ still a virgin.
A man, allegedly upset over not having a girlfriend who loved him, posted concerning remarks on Facebook, which prompted local police officers to partner with the FBI and arrest him for making terroristic threats.
Christopher Cleary was taken into custody in Provo, Utah, by Provo Police Department officers on Saturday and is still being held in the Utah County Jail. The 27-year-old is from Denver, according to the Deseret News, but was staying in an Airbnb in Utah while visiting the area.
Officers in Provo were alerted to potential dangers posed by Cleary by officers in Colorado after they were notified about a concerning Facebook post that was published ahead of several Women’s March events. The post said there’s “nothing more dangerous than [a] man ready to die,” KUTVreported.
Cleary, who allegedly admitted to officers to writing the now-deleted post, appeared to be upset over his lack of romantic relationships with women.
“All I wanted was a girlfriend, not 1000 not a bunch of hoes not money none of that. All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me I’m 27 years old and I’ve never had a girlfriend before and I’m still a virgin, this is why I’m planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter cause I’m ready to die and all the girls the turned me down is going to make it right by killing as many girls as I see,” Cleary reportedly posted on Facebook.
Provo police officers joined forces with the FBI and together the law enforcement agents found Cleary at a McDonald’s in Provo. He was escorted out of the establishment and read his Miranda rights, which is when the 27-year-old agreed to be questioned.
An arrest affidavit obtained by the Deseret News stated that Cleary said he wasn’t “thinking clearly” when he posted the messages and had a problem with impulse control. He also made suicidal comments, which, according to KUTV, included him saying he “thought it might be better if he died.” Officers searched his phone but found no further threats.
Along with facing a charge of threatening terrorism, which is a third-degree felony, Cleary was also booked for violating probation instituted in Colorado. A Colorado probation officer told the Provo Police Department that intimidating women is a “pattern of behavior” for Cleary, according to the affidavit. The probation officer said the 27-year-old was on probation for felony stalking and threatening of women.
Officers requested a large amount of bail, although, Utah County Jail Records don’t list a specific amount. Colorado probation officers want Cleary extradited for his probation violation.

Day care provider found guilty after infant beaten with ‘extreme violence’
OLATHE, Kan. – An unlicensed home day care owner accused of severely injuring a 4-month-old boy was found guilty in a Kansas courtroom Friday.
Paige Hatfield was found guilty on charges of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, a felony, and operating an unlicensed daycare, a misdemeanor. Kingston Gilbert had been in Hatfield’s care for just 11 days in 2017 when he was severely beaten, leaving him blind and suffering from brain damage.
On January 31, 2017, Hatfield called 911 because Kingston was throwing up. According to court documents, doctors at Children’s Mercy Hospital said Kingston was “suffering from abusive head trauma,” which is, “only caused by violent non-accidental physical trauma.” They said Kingston’s injuries resulted from, “extreme violence.”
Prosecutors are asking for an enhanced sentence because Hatfield was a child care provider, that’s being debated on Friday night.
Kingston’s mother, Ashleigh Garcia, told WDAF that there are days that are “barely survivable.”
“We spent 18 days in the I.C.U. just praying that he got through,” Garcia said. “We were told by doctors he is never going to be the same boy. I mean, we pretty much had to grieve the loss of out child and accept that the baby that we were bringing home was not the baby that I dropped off at day care that day.”
Sentencing will be determined at a later date.
