OZ: The Great and Powerful Perhaps not this time around but… Overall not bad. This movie was definitely what I’d call a popcorn muncher. You sit down not expecting anything great and drink soda and popcorn (Harkins, thank god for your loyalty cups and shirts) and be visually wowed for […]
Bates Motel: First You Dream, Then You Die Recap
The second of three serial killer-related programs beginning this year and the first of two based on previously established stories, Bates Motel is a modern day prequel to the film Psycho. This works because Psycho is a story that ages well. It doesn’t really matter what era Norman Bates grew […]
Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down…
Everyone knows that fast moving zombies are the most terrifying of all the zombies. I don’t think we quite realized that, though, until the Dawn of the dead remake came out and introduced us to those most terrifying of creatures. And then 28 Days Later came. Then 28 Weeks Later. […]
Star Trek’s New Trailer Reminiscent of Avengers
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yhz4A5BCMAA] A newly released trailer for Star Trek gives us a look into the oncoming summer blockbuster of Star Trek: Into Darkness. As Sam pointed out in her article earlier this year, there were a few similarities we saw in Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Laufeyson. I […]
Bones: The Doom in the Gloom Recap
So following my three day cramming session, I’m finally able to put up a review for Bones! It’s a typical episode for the gang, as another murder mystery happens in which a marine is killed by an extreme blast of dragonfire explosives. Once again we have Brennan being a scientisty-crime […]
Supernatural: Goodbye Stranger Recap
Castiel, Crowley, and Meg were all back this week, and boy was it good to see them. I giggled out loud, I nearly cried, and I remembered why people have been calling this season “season gr8.” What’s a better post-hiatus kick-off than having Cas kill Dean? How about showing that […]
The Following: Love Hurts Recap
With this past week came another episode of the serial killer thriller show, The Following. First off, I want to apologize for not getting this recap sooner, the crimes of procrastination caught up with me, but here it is. I have to say that the Romantic scholar in me loved […]
Hawken: Genesis Expands on the Mythos of Hawken
Before I recieved an early copy of Archaia Entertainment’s complete graphic novel, Hawken: Genesis, I had never even heard of Hawken. Which is probably a bit sad and loses me some nerd cred because apparently Hawken is a thing that I should have known about. Forbes wrote about it! A couple of […]
Psycho-Pass: A Lesson in Morality
It doesn’t matter if you’re into anime or not. Psycho-Pass should be something you watch. Although I can’t say it’ll ever reach Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z proportions in terms of westernization, Psycho-Pass doesn’t need that. This is an anime worth watching for its themes, its content, and its […]
The Walking Dead: Prey Recap
It’s apparently flashback Sunday! Not only did Once Upon A Time feature a bunch of flashbacks to the early days of Storybrooke but The Walking Dead begins with a flashback to Michonne and Andrea’s days together. Except it’s not really a nice, happy flashback because this is the Walking Dead […]
