Today, a very different story than we’ve had in a while. There are no monsters, no horrible revelations. And certainly nothing creeping out of the night. This is a story of two people on a date, one leading the other.

Corpse Bride Is Too Good To Leave Dead As a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, you’d think I would have gotten to Corpse Bride sooner, but here we are. And, yes, I do have to compare the two of them, because they are extremely similar. From style to plot to progression to even the…
Tuning in… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention, please?! You’ve been patient! You’ve been diligent! You’ve been loyal! Now, for demonstrating such tremendous qualities, such incredible attributes, such unbelievable resolve, you shall be rewarded! Friends, bloggers, Earthlings, lend me your ears!

Hey everyone. It’s 1:55 in the morning on the East Coast. I’m very tired. This is not complaint so much as a general statement of my present condition. I could use some rest. I’m publishing a good chunk of “Stitches” right now. I know that I stated that I’d have it done, and I will…
BEWARE: I Spoil. This episode is dedicated to “Mission: Save Jeremy”! We find out that Jeremy’s wound is more severe than previously assessed. The blade that stabbed him last episode was coated in a toxin that was taking our Alpha out by the minute. While Nick is tasked with handling Antonio’s affairs, Elena and Clay…
BEWARE: I Spoil. There are so many dead bodies plopping around Bear Valley. There were at least four very bloody cadavers this episode and I’m wondering, much like the wolf pack, who the hell is responsible. It was in the last episode when Elena said some lone wolf was giving randoms the Bite and not…
BEWARE: I Spoil. Welcome to the wolf pack! I couldn’t wait to see that good ol’ wolf-y camaraderie. Wolves are pack animals and, in this episode, we saw that the Danvers family is an eclectic, rowdy bunch, united under their Alpha, Jeremy Danvers. We got to see him in full Alpha-action, pulling out the “Dad”…
BEWARE: I Spoil. Syfy’s Bitten is a television series that premiered in January. It’s based off of the Kelley Armstrong series Women of the Otherworld. It stars Laura Vandervoort, Greyston Holt, Greg Bryk, Paul Greene, and Steve Lund. Vandervoort plays Elena Michaels, a lone wolf living in Toronto, attempting to build a new life and conceal…
The manga Saturn Apartments is a great example of a story in a rather small genre: slice of life in space. This means that so far nothing has blown up, nobody has flown at the speed of light, and there are no laser guns. But that shouldn’t indicate by any means that the story isn’t…
I’ve tried to explain Only Lovers Left Alive to a few people at this point. It’s been a mixed success. First, don’t go into it expecting a vampire film. You might be disappointed at the lack of blood spatter. Second, keep in mind that all the main characters are vampires and they are determinedly and…
(WARNING: Potential Captain America: The Winter Soldier spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution.) There is no “nerd cred” test to watch a Marvel blockbuster. And if Marvel keeps doing what it’s doing, there never will be. But this little rundown might make it a bit easier to talk to any superfan friends you might have, or just to anyone…
