TV Review: Doctor Who 7×14 “The Name of the Doctor”

Chelsea Dee — Thu, 23 May 2013 16:50:09 +0000

Chelsea looks into the season seven finale of Doctor Who and whether it managed to salvage a roller coaster of a season in terms of quality. Vastra, Jenny, Strax, and River Song join the Doctor and Clara on their last big adventure (for now): to see the grave of the Doctor himself. When his friends are captured by mysterious enemies, the Doctor is willing to visit the place he should never go and face the Great Intelligence. Clara's mystery is solved, and we're introduced to a strange new character played by a very welcome face.

Movie Review: The Hangover Part III

Kendrick Gaussoin — Thu, 23 May 2013 13:29:16 +0000

The Hangover (2009) introduced us to one of the funniest buddy comedy casts ever. The Wolfpack returns in The Hangover Part III, but this time the formula that was repeated in Part II and earned the franchise so much critical derision is abandoned in favor of a tale that spins off of the events in the previous movies but does not simply ape them.

Blu-ray Review: True Blood The Complete Fifth Season

Chelsea Dee — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:53:24 +0000

It's been a long winter, and as soon as it starts getting warm, I think of the summer. And with summer comes True Blood. On June 16th the show will be back for its sixth season, but they didn't want to make their fans wait too long. We got the DVD and Blu-ray releases of True Blood The Complete Fifth Season out, so it's time to close out the sun, lock ourselves in an underground facility with a pack of half-mad vampires, and hope Sam Merlotte isn't looking to kill any of us. Because damn does he know how to make something hurt. Let me get my sweet tea and sway to the sound of "Bad Things" by Jace Everett.

Blu-Ray Review: Bullet In The Face

Jayden Leggett — Tue, 21 May 2013 12:23:56 +0000

Within just a few minutes of viewing Bullet in the Face for the very first time, it became very clear to me what I could expect from this show. Stylised over-the-top acting (complete with cliched accents), excessive violence, morbid humour and a psychotic lead character are all key ingredients to this very quirky yet strangely enjoyable meal.

Matt Sernaker — Fri, 17 May 2013 06:15:27 +0000

DVD Review: Ace Attorney

Jayden Leggett — Wed, 15 May 2013 06:08:09 +0000

Phoenix Wright is a novice lawyer who obviously has potential but his bumbling nature and his tendency to get overwhelmed by new facts and evidence stop him from achieving greatness, while his rival Miles Edgeworth is cool and collected and seems to have every possible angle covered before any trial, as his perfect win record shows.

By Jachelle Overstreet, Reporter The Walking Dead premiered on AMC on Halloween of 2010 and has been gaining popularity ever since.

Movie Review: Iron Man 3

Matt Sernaker — Fri, 03 May 2013 06:55:14 +0000

The Invincible Iron Man returns to the big screen for his latest solo adventure in Iron Man 3. After the events of Marvel's The Avengers, our armored hero hasn't quite been the same. It's hard to blame Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr - The Avengers) for being a little off after teaming up with a Norse God, a monster, a living legend, and a couple of spies to fight off an alien invasion. Stark better get his act together quickly, because a new terrorist threat has emerged, and it will soon be up to Iron Man to save the day! Taking cues from the fan-favorite "Extremis" storyline, Iron Man 3 is the perfect way to get "Phase Two" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe into motion!

Chelsea and Jachelle talk about the newest episode of Once Upon a Time and whether or not The Evil Queen can be redeemed, should be redeemed, or if they should just stop beating a dead horse. The show is slowly moving toward the finale, but a little too slow for us. Once Upon a Time is on ABC Sunday nights at 8 PM EST.

If you’re a fan of Cheech and Chong this is a must have for your collection. If you’re a fan of watching flicks through what Kev Smith calls the green prism: we're sure you’ll find Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie a fat sack of laughs!

Blu-ray Review: Pawn

Chris Learned Kane — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 02:23:16 +0000

A night shift cop on a routine visit to his favorite diner interrupts a robbery in progress. And that’s nearly all we can say without giving away key pieces of Pawn, a compelling straight to Blu-ray crime flick from first time director, David A Armstrong. Pawn contains some attractive elements: the story is told in anachronic flashback, the setup is deliciously intriguing (what team of professional thieves robs a nearly empty diner at 11:30pm?) and the cast is top shelf.

Just about every character, genre or media format you could think of was on display: videogame icons, television and movie characters, DC and Marvel superheroes, cartoon characters and of course the anime aficionados.

TV Review: The X-Files 1×8 “Ice”

Chelsea Dee — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:44:49 +0000

In this episode of The X-Files, Mulder and Scully are snowed in at a base where the former occupants went mad and killed each other. They have assembled a team of scientists to explore the reason why, but can they get to the bottom of it before they start to turn on each other? This is an example of an episode that reminds you of another movie or TV show, but it's done so well it feels like more of an homage.

Editorial: Chelsea’s Top Ten Favorite Animated Guys

Chelsea Dee — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:51:52 +0000

This was actually written just for fun. One of my favorite online personalities The Nostalgia Critic did 10 Hottest Animated Woman, so I said ehhh might be fun. Don’t judge me. Although I am starting to think I seriously have a type I didn’t even realize until now. Still, the point is that some animated characters are attractive, and they’re drawn to be that way. Disney draws their characters to be beautiful, both men and women. This covers movies and TV shows. When I started writing I realized I wasn’t really talking about how the characters looked though, it was much more about their personality, so in the end I went with favorite animated guys. Who I would probably date. If they existed. Keep in mind this is all personal opinion.

Game of Thrones is on HBO Sunday nights at 9 PM EST.

TV Review: The X-Files 1×7 “Ghost In The Machine”

Chelsea Dee — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:26:59 +0000

In this episode of X-Files, the show does a pretty horrible rip off of Space Odyssey and dates itself worse than ever before. Well, X-Files, they can't all be winners. Between the hilarious computer problems and bad music, for the first time I could absolutely tell this was the 90s. Oh well. Better luck next time!

Jennifer Bay — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:06:06 +0000

While 3-D still sometimes seems like a gimmick, Jurassic Park 3-D is actually made better because of it. Rather than get a standard 3-D update where the special effects get the treatment, the entire film was re-done with it. It looks fantastic. The depth of field created by the 3-D makes the dinosaur encounters much more terrifying.

TV Review: Game of Thrones 3×1 “Valar Dohaeris”

Chelsea Dee — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:18:21 +0000

Join Dee and Jachelle, also known as Deechelle, as they delve into season three of Game of Thrones. We've been waiting frantically for a year now, and the show hasn't disappointed.

TV Review: Lost Girl 3×11 “Adventures In Fae-bysitting”

Chelsea Dee — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:46:25 +0000

In which I continue to be disappointed by this season. Maybe once upon a time these one-off episodes worked well, but now they're starting to feel like a distraction from the bigger questions. Who is Bo's Dad? Why is Hale acting strange? What's Tamsin's part in this? Join me with mulling over the episode.

TV Review: The Following 1×11 “Whips and Regret”

Chelsea Dee — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:33:19 +0000

Previously on The Following: Claire voluntarily went with the cult to get a chance to see Joey. Ryan was heartbroken because they said they loved each other right before. Emma left boyfriend Jacob and other boyfriend Paul to die. Jacob had to mercy kill Paul, so he’s sort of checked out now and becoming as creepy a guy as everyone else. Roderick, Joe’s second in command, started showing signs of not liking how power was shifting with the group. The FBI sucks at their job a lot. Oh and we just found out that Ryan’s ex Molly is one of the cult. Unsurprising. We were introed to a new follower Vince who is only important to this episode. I usually like the one-off followers we meet and their own brand of crazy, but this one fell a little flat. Plus the episode highlighted a few of the weaknesses in the show, including the FBI’s ineptitude, Ryan’s instability, and a sort of ‘where are we going with this?’ feeling. But on with the episode.

ComicsOnline Staff — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:42:35 +0000

by Allie Jackson, Guest Reporter The Host, the latest adaptation of a Stephanie Meyer novel (writer of Twlight), is a science fiction love story about a strange love quadrangle and what it means to be human.

WonderCon 2013: “My Two Cents!” Editorial

Pia Thrasher — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:14:13 +0000

This was my first time at WonderCon and I didn't know what to expect, but boy, was it FUN! Last year I was all set to go, badge secured, but then I came down with the flu and couldn't attend. So, needless to say, I was super stoked that WonderCon took place in Anaheim again (instead of San Francisco), making it much more affordable for me, because it's just a drive up north from San Diego.

Movie Review: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Matt Sernaker — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 01:43:15 +0000

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor Hasbro hasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to adapting their franchises to the silver screen. G.I. Joe, Transformers and Battleship have been all considered critically subpar, and nothing besides Transformers has made a dent at the box office (despite being multi-million dollar action summer blockbusters). In another [...]
