The Dragonball Z Technique Guide
July 8, 2010 by Chris Pranger
Every character has his signature attacks, but which ones work best? As a huge DBZ fan, I’ve come to considered myself an expert on every aspect of the show. I’ve mentioned a few plotholes I found unacceptable (because this is very serious business), as well as some filler plots that bugged me. But I was careful to give ten excellent points where the show was awesome. I’ve been rolling some ideas around in my head and thought maybe I could do...
“But the Effects Were Decent”: A Review of The Last Airbender
July 6, 2010 by Gus Townson
The fires of critics have declared blasphemy. But some believe there is still hope. A week ago, I may have unnecessarily shot off more that I can stomach when I ended a previous article [this one] by stating the upcoming live action film adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender as a possible candidate for the beginning of what could become the next Harry Potter, or even Star Wars.

Top 10 Misconceptions of Avatar The Last Airbender
June 30, 2010 by Gus Townson
I leaped like a hogmonkey after the 9-month hiatus between seasons 2 and 3. For the last five years, there has been one show that has captured my imagination like nothing before it. Avatar The Last Airbender, is a Nickelodeon Animated series about a twelve year old boy freed from an iceberg, only to discover he’s been frozen for a hundred years, the world is engulfed in war, and his entire people have been wiped out. I believe it would be very safe...
Forget-Them-Not: A Review of Toy Story 3
June 22, 2010 by Kyle Martinak
So much to see, so little time in which to see it. We don’t usually do movie reviews here at Toy-TMA, but the Toy Story series is different; these movies explain why a website like this one exists in the first place. We, as complicated beings, hold so much affection for our playthings, and these movies are big salutes to our reliable, inanimate friends. Read More →
The Toys Are Back In Town Yet Again: Toy Story 3 Toys
June 16, 2010 by Chris Pranger
These are some pretty high quality toys right here. Toy Story's still got it. I don’t want to jinx this, but I’d really like to see Toy Story 3 receive a perfect 100% at Rotten Tomatoes, thus making the Toy Story series have a perfect score. While it’s most likely not going to happen since at least one reviewer will be jaded for no reason other than to cost it a perfect score, it’ll still be a hugely successful movie. And you know what...
Top 10 Worst Instances of Filler in Dragonball Z
May 5, 2010 by Chris Pranger
Prepare for STILL MORE nerd rage! We all know I love Dragonball Z, and I’m pretty sure there’re a handful of you out there who still do, too. While I certainly made sure to show my love for DBZ, I also made not one but two lists of plotholes I deemed unacceptable. A lot of comments hit me like a Solar Flare, arguing that I hadn’t listed real plotholes but rather just instances of filler used to allow time for the manga to catch up to the anime....
They Come From a Land Down Under: Alice in Wonderland Movie Toys
March 19, 2010 by Chris Pranger
Hey look, movie toys of Alice actually exist. They look boring, but they exist. It’s been a long week of finals for me, and after all that I realized I had one last assignment to complete: Do a write-up for toys based off of Tim Burton’s new movie, Alice in Wonderland. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? It’s not exactly a sequel to the classic Disney movie of the same name, nor is it quite a sequel to the Lewis Carroll books (which your kids really...
Twenty Years and Still Going: A Simpsons Retrospective
March 10, 2010 by Chris Pranger
I don't think I'll ever get tired of these people. True Fact: I grew up in the United States of America. I’m not trying to brag or anything, it’s just simple stating of fact. Why this is important to The Simpsons has to do with what The Simpsons is to me: An American Institution. This in no way means that I believe The Simpsons is only for Americans. Oh heavens no, The Simpsons is a show for the entire world. It’s been aired all over,...
