Before I recieved an early copy of Archaia Entertainment’s complete graphic novel, Hawken: Genesis, I had never even heard of Hawken. Which is probably a bit sad and loses me some nerd cred because apparently Hawken is a thing that I should have known about. Forbes wrote about it! A couple of […]
Psycho-Pass: A Lesson in Morality
It doesn’t matter if you’re into anime or not. Psycho-Pass should be something you watch. Although I can’t say it’ll ever reach Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z proportions in terms of westernization, Psycho-Pass doesn’t need that. This is an anime worth watching for its themes, its content, and its […]
Dial H for…
Any schmuck can be a superhero? That sounds nice and all but does anyone really believe it? Heck no. There’s no way that my fat ass is going to be running around saving the world from super villains. If I could I totally would. But unless we’re talking Butterball from the […]
Toyland Has Fallen Into Chaos
Every child wonders what happens to their toys when he or she leaves the room or they are all put away in the toy box. Do they come alive? Do they dream? Do they have any number of wild adventures? We encourage children to think this. In A Little […]
Jack, Giants, and Beanstalks
It’s been long overdue, but it’s time for me to write my review on Jack the Giant Slayer. Putting aside the overwhelming sidestep from biology in that a bean can grow into a beanstalk literally in front of your eyes, because as my friends told me the more astounding thing […]
Judge Dredd: Volume 1 TPB Hits Shelves April 30th
I am going to be honest here. I am among the newer fans of the Judge Dredd franchise. I think I saw the original film back when I was a kid but I don’t actually remember seeing it. So for me Karl Urban is Judge Dredd and I am going […]
Superman: Secret Identity Returns As A Trade Paperback this April!
I love comic books. Most people who know me know that I can go on and on about characters and their stories. So you should put a lot of weight in to what I am about to say. Hands down, this is my favorite DC comic ever. You don’t need […]
Rediscover the Beginning With Batman: Year One on Netflix
I’ve been sick (and consequently very bored) the past week or so and all I have had to keep me company is my cats and Netflix. Since it would be absolutely pathetic to write about my cats I figured I would write up something about one of the movies I’ve […]
Divining the Core of Libba Bray’s Diviners
Being a law student doesn’t leave you a whole lot of time to do anything that’s not, you know, reading for law school. But I do my best. Picking books can be difficult because if I’m going to read a book it either needs to be a.) good and well […]
From Up on Poppy Hill is Charming, but with a Twist!
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-vfzhfq5JA] While I’ve seen almost every Studio Ghibli film—you know, the animation studio that brought you films like Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle—I never got around to watching From Up on Poppy Hill. It’s the most recent release and, more importantly, Hayao Miyazaki’s son, Goro Miyazaki, directed the film. […]
