If there were a overarching theme to Time Enough At Last, the eighth episode of the first season of The Twilight Zone, it would have to be that no matter how bad things may at first seem, they can get much, much worse. After all, you have to keep in mind that about midway though the episode a […]
I admit that when I first saw Len Wiseman’s Underworld in 2003 I have to admit that I was impressed. Vampires and werewolves battling for domination, what’s not to love?
And the answer is a firm “Maybe.” To begin, let’s call our hypotheses, Scenario One and Two. Scenario One is the best case; Scenario Two…not at all. If your chief source of information is Box Office Mojo, then things can be interpreted somewhat optimistically. According to them, the movie is budgeted at $250 million. That’s expensive, […]
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice reviews have been filtering in for the last day or two, and while they’re not all terrible–after all, someone probably even liked Hitler’s paintings–they’re pretty disastrous considering that there are literally millions, if not potentially billions, riding on its success. I intend to catch it tomorrow, and will post a review as […]
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure why the Marvel series being produced for Netflix are so successful. After all, they’re working with characters that I wouldn’t exactly call ‘first-stringers.’ Though that’s not by any means to imply that they aren’t beloved to many people, only that they’re plenty of more popular superheroes that have […]
“Daredevil must die.” –Nabu In the final episode of Marvel’s Daredevil’s Second Season, Nobu’s (Peter Shinkoda) endgame is revealed. Every since the first he’s sought the Black Sky. Now we know that the Black Sky is to the Hand a perfect weapon, that will enable them to conquer whomever they choose. So it stands to […]
“He is an asshole but at the end of the day he’s on our side of the war.” –Stick Probably safe to assume that Elektra is not following in Daredevil’s footsteps of as far stopping her murderous ways go (Yes’ she’s sticking her sai in that ninja’s eye). We learn that Stick is not only responsible […]
For awhile, despite my serious love for everything that was unfolding in Daredevil, I was wondering how they were going to manage to embrace the more fantastical aspects of the Marvel Universe. In the world that exists in Marvel Televised Universe, the heroes are much more grounded than they are in its cinematic brethren so […]
Holy Shit! Forgive the language but this episode goes places that are more awesome than I have the capability to describe (that’s not strictly true, though I’m still following Tony Stark’s adage about not being a dick–not a total dick, anyway because who’s a total dick?). Which is cool because that pretty much ensures that there […]
Daredevil not wanting to kill, I get, though problems start when you pair him with people with no such qualms. This means that he oftentimes gets in his or their way, endangering everyone. It happened with Frank Castle, and it happens again this episode, that is till a mysterious figure from his past–by way of the […]
