Annabelle is another in a long line of clichéd horror films that offers little more than the worn-out “jump” gags and music induced suspense. Annabelle is the “prequel” to The Conjuring, serving as a back story to the Annabelle doll that served as an exhibition to the film’s lead characters, and their chosen profession. Apparently the […]
Let’s get this out of the way: I’m a big fan of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl. I read it in a few days, shoved it into as many of my family and friends’ hands as I could, discussing its violent twists with everyone after they’d finished. It’s a water-cooler novel if ever there was one. […]
The second episode of Gotham brought us child-trafficking, kidnapping, more betrayal and a gun fight. This episode picked up the pace, although it picked up a quicker pace. Each scene, while interesting as the last, felt like a speed date. The moment we started to get something really juicy the bell rang and we moved […]
Two of the biggest events in comics right now are the “Time Runs Out” story arc of the Avengers and DC Comics’ Multiversity. Both of them are about events that cause a multiverse to come under threat of extinction. In general, there is a lot of alternate timeline and alternate world storylines at Marvel and […]
Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl is a bit of a rarity in the novel world. A book that had no name recognition, written by a little-known author, about a seemingly vanilla subject, that went on to dominate the New York Times Bestseller List for 52 weeks thanks to fervent word-of-mouth and a heaping dose of “Believe […]
Kevin Smith’s (Clerks, Dogma) recent foray into horror, Tusk, gets completely bogged down by a premise perhaps too lofty to complete successfully. Tusk opens on podcasters Wallace (Justin Long) and Teddy (Haley Joel Osment) deconstructing the internet’s newest viral video “Kill Bill Kid”. As the men continue their banter, we learn Wallace has been invited […]
The cast of Syfy’s Helix will be changing scenery in season two. Now, instead of the white Arctic they will be surrounded by a green jungle. It will most definitely seem like a fresh change, since they won’t be stuck inside a building filled with infected people. Nope they won’t be stuck inside anymore, but […]
MPH #3 is without a doubt the first non-Starlight comic that Millar has written that has reminded me about why I like Millar. Or rather, why I am giving Millar another chance to steal my heart. The issue, the midpoint of this five issue mini-series, really kicks the story into high gear. Whether or not […]
One of the most fun aspects of being a fan of FX’s American Horror Story is enjoying the fun and ridiculous promotional craze leading up to each season’s premiere. Because the premise changes completely each year, there is a lot of mystery surrounding the story therefore both plot and thematic details are teased through a […]
“War. War never changes.” Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games. I have played through Fallout 3 at least four times, two good runs, an evil run and a neutral run. But I’ve started and only got halfway countless times. For a time the Capital Wasteland was my second home. A place where I […]
