Halo 5: Guardians reminds me of Halo 2 in a multitude of ways. The expectations for 343 Industries’ latest sequel are high, okay not as high as Halo 2 was in 2004, despite the botched launch of The Master Chief Collection last year. The marketing machine was misleading back then and the same is indeed […]
Prior to its release, the early snippets of reviews for this film were not very good to say the least. There were questions as whether or not Diesel actually fits in a film with witches and magic. Perhaps many simply see Dominic Toretto trouncing about with swords and spouting off information about the history of […]
It’s that time of the year for things that are frightening, hideous, and just plain dark. Halloween has many associations in pop culture, and one of the biggest is scary movies and costumes, which often includes monsters. Comic books also have a long history of monsters, too, both before the Silver Age and after. It […]
Obviously, the major lingering question from the strong “Thank You” is whether or not Glenn is actually dead and gone (or, dead and walking). And that is certainly an important discussion that needs to be had. But, I worry that all of the fuss surrounding how Scott Gimple and the gang at The Walking Dead […]

The site investigated reports that the series was looking for “an African-American or biracial male who decides to put on the uniform of a missing hero who once stood […]
Although Futurama took its final bow two years ago, the series remains in viewers’ hearts and on syndication on several stations, including Comedy Central. From 1999 to 2013, over seven seasons and four straight-to-DVD movies, Matt Groening’s masterpiece cemented itself in TV history with Emmy wins, critical acclaim, and a diehard fanbase who stayed loyal […]
The Walking Dead is one of the more stylistically interesting shows on the air. Within a single episode, the show can present artistic visuals (such as this week’s excellent use of black and white vs. color to delineate flashbacks) and intriguing character beats (Morgan’s ability to suss out the reality behind several characters’ outside personas […]
The premiere date of American Horror Story: Hotel is just around the corner and to get audiences ready, executive producer and co-creator Ryan Murphy has shared the show’s brand new title sequence online. The opening credits for this horror anthology series are always creepy with eerie music and quick cuts to disturbing images. However, this […]
The madness of Apocalypse Now and the poetic reflection of Terrence Malick’s The Thin Red Line come to mind when watching Beasts of No Nation. This harrowing descent into the tragedies of civil war is the third film by Cary Fukunaga (Sin Nombre, Jane Eyre and the first season of HBO’s True Detective). Based on a novel by Uzodinma Iweala, the film also […]
