Comic Book Review: Winter City #6

Prepare to dive into the violent and gritty underbelly of Winter City #6, a dark but beautiful comic book based in a dangerous metropolis that you would never want to live in but will definitely want to keep revisiting… well, at least through the looking-glass of this comic.

Movie Review: World War Z

by Bill Watters, Editor It says a lot about a movie when people suggest to NOT read the book before watching it in the theater as I’ve found more and more people doing with World War Z. I rather wish…

Nintendo 3DS Review: Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask

The overall story in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask feels true to what has made the Professor Layton games into what they are: A story about people, whether those people are Professor Layton and Luke or the people who are out to stop them or occasionally the people who are simply caught in between. It’s a story about human nature, and how a failing doesn’t mean you’ve failed and doesn’t mean you can’t do better in the future. It’s a story about sometimes not being able to see the big picture and not understanding the potential repercussions of your actions.

Movie Review: Much Ado About Nothing

Leave it to Joss Whedon to make Shakespeare more fun than ever.

On a break from last years huge blockbuster success, Marvel’s The Avengers, when he was supposed to be taking his wife to Venice for the 20th Anniversary, Joss Whedon… made a movie instead. Shot in 12 days on location at his Santa Monica home, Much Ado About Nothing is simply this: a labor of love.

TV Review: Futurama – “2-D Blacktop” and “Fry and Leela’s Big Fling”

Futurama returns for one more season of adventure starting tonight at 10pm on Comedy Central!

After successfully escaping from TV Heaven (or Robot Hell if you are Bender), the Planet Express crew is about to head off into the sunset (again). Having completed 4 Direct-To-Video releases, and 3 additional seasons, Comedy Central has decided to not renew the sci-fi comedy for additional episodes. While this news is bittersweet, at least fans were given the opportunity to enjoy many additional hours with these beloved characters over the last few years.

Tonight’s episodes include “2-D Blacktop” and “Fry and Leela’s Big Fling”. The network was kind enough to send the episodes out to the press for review, and I can say without question that the show is going out with a bang.

Comic Book Review: The Simon and Kirby Library: Science Fiction

by Mike Favila, Reviewer Even though Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are titans in the comics field, I’m a little embarrassed to say that I’m not as well versed on their respective bodies of work.  My uncle gave me most…

TV Review: Suits Season Two

Chelsea breaks down the second season of hit USA show Suits. It’s about a lawyer and a con man who work together in one of the biggest and fiercest New York City law firms. The cast is excellent, the characters are well developed, and this season never slowed down. The next season begins July 16th.

TV Review: Teen Wolf 3×2 “Chaos Rising”

The summer continues with the guilty pleasure MTV Show Teen Wolf. Derek and Scott find out what the alpha pack has been doing with Erica and Boyd, Isaac is frozen nearly to death, and Lydia screams at … nothing. Also the show reminds people that sex = death or bad things in the horror genre.

TV Review: Teen Wolf 3×1 “Tattoo”

Join Chelsea as she watches the guilty pleasure MTV show Teen Wolf, now in its third season. While it doesn’t have great special effects, it embraces the cheesiness of the genre and comes out entertaining. There’s a pack of alphas in town looking to take out the betas. What does this mean for Scott and his friends?

TV Review: Game of Thrones 3×10 “Mhysa”

Chelsea and Jachelle discuss the last episode of season three of Game of Thrones. Was it a satisfying conclusion? Can we really survive another year of waiting? This season went by so fast, and the only thing we can look forward to is waiting for the DVD set to come out. Or, you know, actually read the books.

Movie Review: Man of Steel

Man of Steel is a re-imagining. Those who have a hard time with new takes on classic characters in stories that have already been told may have a hard time with Man of Steel. Those who found Star Trek: Into Darkness offensive because they felt too precious about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or those who flipped tables over the fact that The Amazing Spider-Man failed to include “With great power comes great responsibility” may find that Man of Steel is similarly irreverent about previous canon. This is not your father’s Last Son of Krypton. It’s not your grandfather’s either.

Movie Review: This Is The End

Some of us possess a certain mindset that will sometimes try to form a plan for what to do in the worst of all possible circumstances: The end of the world. Gather supplies, find like-minded colleagues, locate a defensible position, build a new life. Oftentimes those like-minded survivors are people that we knew and liked when the world was whole: family, co- workers, best friends… But what happens to those relationships when the comforts of the world disappear? What happens when none of your acquaintances have much in the way of survival skills? What happens when the only people you have at your disposal are five other comedy actors who were barely tolerable people to begin with?

This Is The End.
