The basic plot of Kurt Sutter’s new historical drama on FX is nothing new: A warrior who swore off violence has to pick up his sword once more. The Bastard Executioner is set in Wales during the early 14th Century. At this point in history, Wales is firmly under the control of England, and the Welsh […]
The Tokyo Game Show starts off this Thursday and once again Sony (SCEJA) had a press conference highlighting what’s next from Japan from 1st and 3rd parties for the upcoming year. There were definitely moments that got fans hyped and also bummed, so let’s talk about what announcements stood out and what didn’t. Hit: Bloodborne: […]
I think Mad Max (the game) made me do the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done in video game before. At one point I was low on health and the only means to heal myself was a dead body filled with wriggling maggots. I grab a handful from inside the corpse and ate ‘em up. […]
Keep the expectations very low for this movie. Better yet, go in expecting nothing. That would probably be a good way to go if you want to take away any enjoyment from the experience. When you hear the title The Transporter, you think three things: car chases, fight scenes, and scantily clad women. Simple enough, […]
So while trying to find the pilot for the ill-conceived Supergirl show, I found another pilot for another ill-conceived show: Wonder Woman. This would be NBC’s 2011 attempt at a Wonder Woman show spearheaded by David E. Kelly, the guy who made Boston Legal. Yeah. So I gave it a watch and you know what? […]
After a flashback issue, Star Wars #8 picks up where issue #6 left the story. While the tale Jason Aaron and Simone Biachi told in Star Wars #7 was very enjoyable, it didn’t progress the narrative of the latest arc. So it was nice to pick up with Luke, Leia, and Han again, especially since […]
Before I get into the review portion of this review, I wanted to get something out of the way. Fear the Walking Dead is a critic proof show. No matter what any critic thinks (myself included), the show will be successful (at least in this initial six episode run- as there are plenty of ways […]
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, a mostly-okay TV show that dabbles perhaps a little too lightly in its source material, is currently moving into its third season. I enjoy it, as do the dozen or so other people who watch it. However, due to its perpetual lukewarm ratings I was surprised to learn ABC is close […]
There was a time in the wake of The Bourne Identity and Austin Powers when spy movies were afraid to be fun. Spies had to be gritty, stern and embroiled with shaky cam-laden fight scenes with no hint of a smile. But now, with Guy Richie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., coming out in the wake of Kingsman: The Secret […]
Rick and Morty has not even come close to a sophomore slump. Its second season has come out of the gate just as strong, if not stronger, than the end of the first season with brilliant writing, creative ideas, and a whole lot of shit talking. This Sunday’s fourth episode “Total Rickall” culminates the creativity […]
