Large predatory animals, like leopards and lions, though by no means exclusively, have to live within a major contradiction. That is, despite their awesome speed and strength, they also have to be very patient. The reason being, if they’re stalking prey though the jungle or veldt, the placement of a paw, the direction of the […]
I have noticed, more often that I like to admit, that I form opinions of people I have never met and experiences I have never had based upon what I have seen in movies, on television and in the news. And even worse, I tend to do so unconsciously, despite being aware–sometimes even hyper-aware–of the […]
Stan Lee is obviously a talented man. He’s had a hand in the creation of some of the most enduring characters in the Marvel Universe, like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and even some from DC Comics as well. That being the case, why is it that he can’t seem to do anything lasting […]
Mild spoilers below. If you haven’t seen “Mama,” you might want to move on. It’s early going yet, but Universal is planning on sequel to Andy Muschietti’s “Mama.” The horror film, made at a cost of $15 million, has earned over $89 million worldwide, and while that’s a great return on investment, the movie itself […]
I have been a fan of Kickstarter for quite awhile now, and try to cover them whenever there is a project that catches my interest. In the past I have written about other Kickstarters like “Sullivan’s Sluggers,” and the relaunch of a crowd-funded version of Top Cow’s “Cyber Force.” Well, here’s the next project that […]
Today has not been my day. The most irritating aspect of which being my attempt to watch Michael Bassett’s “Silent Hill: Revelation” via iTunes. I have no idea why things went all sorts of wonky, but I spent four or five hours from the discomfort of my bed trying to watch the movie. Though what […]
And I don’t mean Hugo Drax, the villain in 1979’s James Bond adventure, “Moonraker.” Casting for Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” have been going on since mid-2012, and recently StarLord has been cast. Now another member of his crew, the lethal alien Drax The Destroyer, may have been found. According to Collider, Jason Momoa […]
It should go without saying that “A Good Day To Die Hard” is an awful title (and for reasons other than I am not sure a day exists that’s good to die on). Every time I hear it, I feel like wincing, so awkward and ungainly it sounds. Though I never did anything with the […]
My copy of Mark Andrew Smith’s “Sullivan’s Sluggers” arrived today, and it’s gorgeous. It’s hard-bound, and included a poster, along with a protective slipcover and my picture does not do it justice. It also feels well put together, and substantial. If you haven’t taken a look at Kickstarter, either in a long time, or ever, […]
David O. Russell may sound Irish, but it isn’t written as ‘David O’ Russell.’ It was careless of me, and I’ll try to keep an eye on such things in future.
