Movie Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

As a girl who didn’t grow up interested in comics at all, I’ve become surprisingly excited about them lately.  My latest conquest is reading through The Ultimate Avengers comics  to get a feel for what is coming for us in 2012 in something that I imagine will break box office records everywhere. Captain America: The First Avenger is another introduction to one of the characters in that movie, and in my opinion, only the Iron Man films have surpassed this movie on the silver screen (at least in the Marvel universe).

TV Review: Futurama “Neutopia” and “Benderama”

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor

The show that was once canceled and then reborn as a set of DVD movies and then brought back as a full series returns again for another season of high tech futuristic wacky hijinx! That’s right, tonight is the return of Futurama on Comedy Central with two all brand new episodes starring our favorite bunch of lovable space delivery misfits. The real question is can the series still meet our expectations in terms of the level of hilarity we expect from this series.

DVD Review: Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (Season Two)


by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor


Every mission has a destiny… and apparently this mission’s destiny was to end long before its time was up. Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (aka Season Two) was both a blessing and a curse for sci-fi fans, as the season really ramped up the epic journey of Col. Young, Lt. Scott, Eli, Chloe and Dr. Rush, seeing them delve into deeper and darker territory than any Stargate series ever had. This darker setting made it one of the most captivating and interesting series that the franchise ever produced, breathing new life into previously generic sci-fi situations.

10 Things I learned from being a Zombie on a movie set

A few weeks ago, I played a zombie in a short film called ‘Zombie Man‘ (by Solar Light Films). You might have read about my make-up test here.
It was a really fun and crazy shoot, but I also learned a few valuable lessons, which I am happy to share with you all.

Forget about what you should do in a Zombie Apocalypse! Most of us already know – if you don’t, just google it!

The following is what I’ve learned from playing a ZOMBIE on a film set in a nature preserve for one day.

DVD Review: Rocko’s Modern Life – Season One

by Ashley Penrod, Assistant Media Editor

For almost every 90’s kid, NickToons were a staple in after-school and weekend TV. Shows like Aaaah! Real Monsters, Hey Arnold!, The Angry Beavers, and Ren and Stimpy were a huge part of middle school entertainment, and Rocko‘s Modern Life is certainly no exception. As a matter of fact, Rocko‘s Modern Life was one of the more mature and amusing of the diverse NickToons lineup, and now it is available for you to own!

DVD Review: Beast Wars: Transformers – Season One and The Complete Series Releases

 
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
 
Transformers fans are quite the fickle and picky bunch, so when Beast Wars: Transformers was announced as a brand new animated series featuring their favorite robots as animals, more than a few were quite taken aback by the concept. When you added in the fact that it was forsaking traditional animation for the then-new-fangled completely CGI animation, the hard-to-please bunch were more than a little wary.
