When I finished reading the Flashpoint tie-in: Frankenstein and the Creatures of the Unknown #1 earlier today I had to hop on Twitter and share my immediate thoughts. If you don’t follow me (and if you aren’t why not? hhhmmmm?) this is what I posted: I was really excited to like this book. I kind [...]

Holy moly.  Sunday’s episode of ‘Thrones’ was epic!  With the finale happening next week, HBO is setting the stage for what’s to come perfectly.  If you missed it, I feel badly for you.  I can’t go over every minute detail so try to catch it on HBO On Demand or HBO Go.  Robb’s Army:Robb and [...]

In Flashpoint #2 we got our first glimpse of the “Dread” Pirate Deathstroke. Now in the Flashpoint tie-in Deathstroke and the Curse of the Ravager, we get an up close and personal look at the crew’s trials and tribulations in the middle of a meta-war (Atlantis vs. The Amazons). I love Deathstroke as a character. [...]

If you missed the finale of ‘Camelot,’ you’ll want to continue reading. There was so much excitement in just an hour, and things will never be the same in King Arthur’s kingdom.  Plus with the liberties Starz has taken with the legend thus far, you never know just how far they’ll change things.  In any [...]

This past weekend’s box office was certainly a good one for genre films.

Industry predictions put the films opening between $20 and $30 million. Earlier in the week, Paramount seemed a [...]

If you’re a fan of early Spielberg films like The Goonies, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you’ll just love Super 8. Even if you’re not (and I have to admit that I dislike ET rather quite a bit), Super 8 offers a fun action film with a strong story, a [...]

I think it is kind of hard to make Aquaman a cool character. I’ve always considered him a bit forgettable, and when he disappeared after “Our Worlds at War” oh so many years ago I barely noticed. That being said… Emperor Aquaman is one hell of a story. In this Flashpoint tie-in, Aquaman is tortured, [...]
