What happens in Vegas stays on Blu-ray.

I wore the CD down... twice. And now it's on Blu-ray. This is Halloween!... at its bestJack is...[Read More]

ABC has Lost, CBS has... well... they've got something, but there's nothing quite like NBC and Universal's Heroes. Finally, comic books are getting attentionWhile certainly not a surprise to many, at least in the geek community (where I live and breath), comics have hit home in the Hollywood fashion, hard.   With the emergence of Blade in the early 90's, than Spider-man and X-men, Hollywood finall...[Read More]
