Manga Review: Vampire Hunter D, Volume 4
D is on his way to the next job, when he comes across the scene of a family massacre. The Knight family seems to have been brutally attacked by some dragons. Only the daughter, Lori, survives, but she has severe radiation poisoning. One of the few remaining Mobil Towns was scheduled to meet D at a nearby location. D helps the man who saved Lori, John M. Brasselli Pluto VIII (and nothing less), get Lori to the town's doctor. D has been hired by the mayor of the town to exterminate a Noble who somehow made it into the town. D, however, knows there is much more than that to the story.
Karl’s Top Twenty Horror Movies Of 2000 – 2009
I was talking to friends the other day, and I realized that it has been just over a decade ago that I was listening to Dick Clark counting backwards and watching my computer to see if it was going to go nuclear. I started thinking about key releases in the last ten years in the horror genre. I came up with twenty that mean something to me in some in some way.
Manga Review: Vampire Hunter D, Volume 2
In the small village of Tepes, there is promise, and great fear. Ten years ago, four children went missing, then, a month later, three out of the four returned, with no recollection of what happened. Back to the present, the now grown-up children are living their lives, and one of them has been chosen to be taken to a top school in the capital city. Before the selection committee comes for the girl, however, there is a little problem that needs to be taken care of… a Noble who can hunt during the day?

Manga Review: Nora: The Last Chronicle of Devildom vol 9: Null and Void.
Nora – The Last Chronicle of Devildom is about the forced compact between Nora, the Cerberus, a legendary demon also known as the vicious dog of disaster and Kazuma Magari, a demanding high school student. In order to give him some “training” in the human world, his master the Dark Liege entered him into a pact with Kazuma.

DVD Review: Sands of Destruction, The Complete Series
So you've had a rotten life, you're dominated by a race of beast men that would just as soon kill you as look at you. Everything you hold dear seems meaningless because the most important person in your life was killed trying to change the world. What would you do? If it were me and I had access to the power to destroy the world, well, I would use it and do just that. I would destroy the world.
Blackest Night
After the awesomeness that was Blackest Night 6, The side stories are just not that good anymore. Don't get me wrong, they're worth picking up for sure, but damn issue six was a thrill. If you haven't started up and you like superhero comics even a little bit, plan on picking up the trade when it ships. We've got to assume that will be rather soon after the release of issue seven.

TV Review: Chuck Season Three (Episodes 1-5)
The fans have spoken and Chuck, one of the best shows on television, has made its return to NBC for Season Three!
Thanks to an amazing fan campaign and the decline of people who actually care about Heroes, NBC realized the importance of this little spy show and has truly given it a chance to shine. Chuck advertisements have been all over the place and these days, marketing is everything. When I arrived home last week I found a Fedex box from NBC Universal with the Chuck Press Kit, containing the first five episodes of Season Three, a secret spy kit, digital voice changer, and super secret spy glasses! The episodes alone would have been cool enough, but I do love my spy kit.
Blu-ray Review: Battlestar Galactica- Season One
The Cylons are coming! The Cylons are coming! They're here.
Battlestar Galactica: Season One has made its way to Blu-ray, and it is
truly glorious. This is a show that was meant to be watched in high
definition. It is amazing how different the episodes look compared to DVD. I need to start out by mentioning that I do indeed own all of BSG on DVD. It was a series that I felt needed to have in my collection and I wanted to relive it before the final season aired. Now that this Blu-ray set is in my hands, I have the desire to own it all on Blu-ray.
