I have seen The Dark Knight Rises twice and have come to the conclusion that it is my favorite Batman to date. The story was brilliant, the action was non-stop, and Bane was the perfect choice for Batman’s final villain. However, while I love the story and characters, they are only part of the reason…
I just recently finished The Seven Kingdoms series (GRACELING, FIRE, and BITTERBLUE) by Kristin Cashore. It’s a YA series that takes place in an alternate universe. In the Seven Kingdoms there are some children whose eyes turn two different colors within their first year of life, and those children are called Gracelings. Gracelings are people…
It has been thirty years since the passing of Philip K. Dick, one of the most influential authors of science fiction. Philip gave us works such as, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? and Total Recall, both of which have been adapted into wildly successful films. In fact, the remake of Total Recall was just…
That was it. The season finale of Game of Thrones, and after ten weeks of excitement we will now have to wait ten months to find out what will happen next. I have mixed feelings about the finale. Firstly, I feel a lot was still left unanswered from season one that I hoped would be…
The ominous music, the black ships in the night, and the rain pouring down over Stannis’ crew. It’s the perfect way to start the episode we’ve all been waiting for. “If the city falls, Stannis will burn every Lannister he can find, of course I’m afraid” The episode opens on Stannis’ crew as they make…
Episode seven left us with enough cliffhangers to go around. We were left wondering what happened to the Stark boys, Jon Snow, and what Catelyn did with Jamie. Luckily, episode eight answered all our questions and then some more. “We’re even now, Jon Snow” After royally screwing himself over last episode and dragging the wilding…
The remake of the Spider-Man movies is just another film in the long line of remakes that have been happening over the past few years, and in general, it’s not something that I’m a huge fan of. We’ve seen it done with War of the Worlds, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and so…
If there is one thing I can always count on when watching Doctor Who it’s memorable villains. After almost 50 years on air, Doctor Who still continues to bring us villains that we fear and love, and others that we count on to make an appearance each series. The upcoming series of Doctor Who is…
Ian McKellen is packing a resume that makes him one of the most badass men in Hollywood, I mean who else can say they were both Gandalf and Magneto? No one, that’s who. He’s the old man who I want to point to while telling others, “Hey, that’s my grandpa over there, wielding the staff…
“You can’t avenge him if you are dead” Well, that’s one potential king down in Episode 5. It seems Renly didn’t last too long in the race for the Iron Throne, in the end he was murdered by the ‘ghost baby’ of Stannis and Meslissandre. Stabbed in the back no doubt, a sign of true…
With the release of Dark Shadows a few weeks away I believe it is time to reflect upon perhaps the greatest actor/director team in the history of film: Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. As a team that has worked together for over twenty years it is easy to see why they make such a good…
Mystique In my opinion, Mystique has one of the coolest mutations, but also one of the most controversial. In her true form Mystique is blue with scale-like abrasions over her body that allow her to take on the form of others. Her power is truly magnificent in the way she can so easily change her…
