I am one of those who simply does not get Anime.  Most the examples I’ve seen – and I’ve seen plenty, believe me – are riddled with substandard animation quality, wacky pop tunes that do not belong, and plots that make almost no sense whatsoever.  For...

It has been a long time since I’ve seen Iron Man, the original movie, and there has been a lot of releases connected to it since then. They have really altered the perspective that you got when you originally watched it. You kind of have a different perspective of Tony Stark from when...

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks wasn’t anything of what I was expecting it to be. I was expecting the actual zombie war, and what I got was – as the title states – “An Oral History of the Zombie War.” Let me start off...

If you are a Tarzan fan, or even if you’re not, then I want to recommend Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration to you! Author (and Edgar Rice Burroughs expert) Scott Tracy Griffin has brought forth a labor of love for fans and newbies alike to enjoy. What makes it amazing is that it’s...

I’ve pimped this series on our podcast a couple of times, but having just finished book 3, I felt it was high time (indeed, long overdue) that I worked up a proper review for these books.  To start things off, let me just open with a quote from an acknowledged master of the...

With the impending arrival of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Party, I couldn’t resist taking a trip back in time to watch (yet again) the 1977 Rankin Bass version of The Hobbit.  I first discovered this movie when it was shown to my class back in elementary...

There has been a lot of talk this year about the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who, but that is a year away.  Let us not forget that on this day 49 years ago Doctor Who premiered on the small screen, and for the last 49 years has provided us with excitement, adventure, education, and...

It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been four episodes of Fringe since the last time I did a review. So in this review or recap I’m going to take care of all four of these episodes, including “The Bullet That Saved the World“, “An Origin Story“,...

Gods and Monsters is the last in the latest 7th Doctor Trilogy.  The trilogy is made up of Protect and Survive, Black and White, and Gods and Monsters.  In my opinion this is the best of the 3 story arcs that Big Finish has been doing for the past few years.  It brings...

Mockingjay is the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy. It was also probably the one that I enjoyed the most. Each of the three books in the series continues right where the previous one left off. Suzanne Collins takes this story and runs with it all the way to the end. This book is...
