Watching Netflix’s Daredevil, you’d probably be surprised to learn that a lot of the scenes that you thought were practical were actually digital. For instance, the scene where Daredevil jumps from a window into the Hudson River? Digital. The fight between the titular hero and the red ninja in episode 9 – “Speak of the Devil“? […]
I am not a big fan of DC superheroes, though I am a huge fan of Legos (though to be fair I was weaned on Batman; as I got older my comic preferences shifted). That being said, I enjoyed the somewhat goofy adventures of the Justice League from the cartoon, though I had soft spot for the villains, particularly […]
“The ideas behind Sinister 2 are a lot scarier than the movie itself.”
Christopher Landon’s Scouts Guide To The Zombie Apocalypse on the face of it looks like fun, and while I was a boy scout when I was younger, there’s something that has always felt a bit off-putting to me about people who don’t outgrow it.

I don’t know about this. Notice the title. It’s not “Frankenstein,” but “Victor Frankenstein,” the point being that they seem to be moving away somewhat from Frankenstein’s Monster, to the man that assembled Frankenstein’s Monster.

“What I Imagine Bill Cosby’s Fantasies Are Like.”
Though I haven’t met Tom Holland, or even aware of seeing anything that he’s actually starred in, based on the videos he’s been posting to Instagram, he’s sort of awesome. I run regularly, and tend to be a very physical person as far as exercise goes, so I find it easy to admire people who […]
Gerry Anderson, it could be argued, was one of the first producers of science fiction to see what a tremendous role hardware design, such as spaceships, could play. In virtually all his television series and movies, design has been crucial (more often than not, to the detriment of character development). In fact, the Eagle from Space: 1999, […]
