When it was announced that American Horror Story: Freak Show would feature Pepper, a beloved character from a previous American Horror Story season, most of us were intrigued and excited about the idea. Even though we had been told that each season was set in its own contained universe, this tie in would serve […]
The Legend of Korra continued its final season this week with “Kuvira’s Gambit”. It was a marked increase from last week and a good sign for the remaining two episodes. We see a pretty solid twist, some cool action set pieces, and an eyeful of the actual consequences of using a superweapon. Take notes humanity. […]
There were some elements of “The Climb” that worked really well. There were other elements that didn’t. So, in that regard, “The Climb” was a fair representation of the first half of Arrow‘s third season: uneven. The crowning achievement of the episode was, as promised, the fight between Ra’s and Oliver. After all, if you […]
Harley Quinn! Created in Batman: The Animated Series then incorporated into comic book canon. She was smart, resourceful, and devoted. She was also hopelessly in love with Joker, a man who was nothing but cruel to her. Harley was dimensional, she was interesting. She was a good character. For the most part, this was how […]
“Hey, why don’t we make fun of the Arab Spring? It’ll make the perfect movie.” While something very similar to this line of reasoning is certainly the basis for Grégory Levasseur’s The Pyramid, the film’s complete ignorance to the political and social connotations of the Egyptian uprising in 2013 is embarrassing. The Pyramid‘s mockery of […]
American Horror Story: Freak Show returns from a brief break with two shocking deaths and not much else. An uneven and tedious hour, “Bloodbath” has its good moments but its few highs do not make up for the predominantly and disappointingly mediocre episode. The hour begins with perhaps the most engaging story thread, that of […]
Chris Miller and Phil Lord team up once again, with the same dynamism of their two undercover characters, to bring us the most entertaining sequel to a rebooted 80’s television show ever conceived. In what is perhaps the most self-referential film of 2014, 22 Jump Street recognizes the absurdity of its predecessor’s success, and seems […]
When horror series Wytches began with a creepy and promising issue, it raised up a number of questions, like all good horror stories should. In Wytches #2, we get a few answers but even more questions. This issue extends and develops the eerie vibe that writer Scott Snyder and artist Jock developed in the initial […]
I’m exploring a dark and damp cave. My flashlight is barely providing me any light. Finally after climbing out of the cave I see sunlight. Outside I can see trees and green grass. I sprint out of the cave and run right into a rhino. He lets out a loud and heavy grunt and then […]
I was late to The Hunger Games book series when the first novel came out back in 2008. I bought it, never read it, had it passed around my circle of friends, and finally got to it a year or so out from the first film being made. It was read in a weekend. The […]
