Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics

For some seventy-five years now, Detective Comics, better known as DC Comics, has been inspiring the imaginations of children and adults alike. To help celebrate the occasion and provide fans with an interesting look into this history of DC, a DVD documentary was created known as Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics. I had a chance to watch the documentary this week and found it entertaining, alt...[Read More]

Iron Man – Extremis

Iron Man: Extremis is due out at the end of the month and features the Extremis storyline that was written by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov. This newest Marvel Motion Comic pits Iron Man against a mutated man who was injected with the Extremis serum that has given him incredible power.

The Gunslingers

“I only draw my guns if there’s killing to be done” Sound familiar? Well this is not a line from an old Clint Eastwood western, but rather from The Gunslingers. The Gunslingers is a gritty, dirty homage to the old-school spaghetti westerns. It comes complete with gravelly voices, guns and plenty of killing.

Shaolin Mantis

The Dragon Dynasty series marches on with entry number forty-five, Shaolin Mantis, another Shaw Brothers Classic. Starring David Chiang, Shaolin Mantis shows off some excellent bladed weapon and open hand combat as Fei Wung takes on the Tian family and their Shadow Technique.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume XIX

Volume XIX is the volume of monsters and devils (per se). Robot apes, atomic beasts, evil dummies, and cross-breed sea creatures. Featured are two Joel and two Mike episodes, all of which are fairly strong (though none of which probably classifies as a bona fide “classic”). It’s the consistency of this set that makes it great, however, as all four episodes—including the Season 1 offering—are certa...[Read More]

You Don’t Know Jack

Jack Kevorkian is an interesting man.

Don’t Let Me Drown

Swimming in emotion, this release by Image Entertainment starring upstarts E.J Bonilla and Gleendilys Iona directed by Cruz Angeles is set in a freshly post 9/11 New York and displays the struggles of people from different walks of life as they try to make sense of the tragic events together.  But the bond that the two young NYC natives attempt to have is forbidden by their families, and is the ba...[Read More]

The Oxford Murders

Math might not be very fun, but this movie is alright!  This release by Magnolia Pictures starring Elijah Wood and John Hurt directed by Alex De La Iglesia centers around a series of murders that take place in Oxford in the present day.  Like most mysteries, there is a lull, but the beginning and end make it worth sitting through a bit of an arithmetic lesson.

Lost Boys: The Thirst

The Frog Brothers have returned! Well, sorta. Lost Boys continues the vampire fighting with another edition of the movie series in Lost Boys: The Thirst.

Jonah Hex

When I saw the trailer for Jonah Hex, a comic character I hadn't heard of before, I was very excited. Seeing Josh Brolin in a rough role as a revenge seeking soldier is enough to be stoked.
