Video Game Review: Gears of War 3 DLC


“Basically… RUN!”

by Karissa Barrows, Reviewer

Okay.  So, I know that the game itself has been out for quite a while now, but the four downloadable content (DLC) installments only just finished complete release, the final of which was the Fenix Rising pack.  I’ve talked to several friends and fellow fans who are unsure as to whether or not they should buy the Season Pass or any individual DLC packs.  Lucky for you, I have no trouble spending money!  Prepare thyselves, gamers and Gears enthusiasts – I talk a lot, I loved the crap out of this entire game, and as far as I’m concerned, the DLC stuff is totally worth it.

DVD Review: The Woman


(L – R) Peggy (Carter), Darlin (Molhusen), Belle (Bettis), Chris (Bridges), and Brian (Ran)


by Karl Madsen, Horror Editor


I usually start a review with a clever; at least I think they’re clever, introduction. Once in a while a movie comes along that defies clever, defies having the dark edge lightened, and for one reason or another defy definition. One of these movies is The Woman.


Chris Cleek (Sean Bridgers – Deadwood) is a successful small town lawyer with a wonderful family and an idyllic country home. His wife Belle (Angela Bettis – Scar), daughter Peggy (Lauren Ashley Carter – The Prodigies), son Brian (Zach Ran- film debut), and youngest daughter Darlin’ (Shyla Molhusen – film debut) are all very supportive of Brian and his interests.

“Holy #%!&, I just realized this is the only shirt I own!”

by Karissa Barrows, Reviewer

Being a fan of Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes (Clerks, Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), I think it’s fun that my first-ever article for ComicsOnline gets to be on this first-of-its-kind event, LIVE From Behind:  Jay and Silent Bob Get Old streamed live on movie screens across the U.S. and Canada thanks to AK27 Productions and Fathom Events.

Blu-ray Review: Primeval – Volume 3

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor

Over the past few years, the Brits have given us some amazing sci-fi shows, which we have been lacking a lot in recently over here in the Americas. Shows like Doctor Who and Primeval have become BBC America’s bread and butter. Primeval Vol. 3 is comprised of Series 4 and Series 5 of Primeval, which has gained so much of a following in the US that BBC America is helping to co-fund production on the show.

DVD Review: Project Nim

Project Nim

by Mike Favila, Reviewer

After seeing Planet of the Apes in its many (and sometimes unwatchable) incarnations, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this real life film on a champanzee raised as a human being be just as entertaining? Project Nim was spearheaded by James Marsh, the acclaimed director of Man On Wire, so I had a feeling this would be a documentary I could actually watch and enjoy in one sitting.

Anime DVD Review: B Gata H Kei: Yamada’s First Time, The Complete Series

Boobies FTW!

by Laurini, Reviewer

Yamada may be the school beauty, but she wants to start off the new semester with a real bang –by collecting one hundred sex friends!  Easier said than done, because every boy must be a virgin and Yamada herself has never even been kissed!  When she sets her eyes on the clueless geek Kosuda from the photography club, it creates a hilarious twist on anime love comedies in B Gata H Kei: Yamada’s First Time, The Complete Series.
