We finally caught the final episode of The Orville, and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m also glad to hear about, and looking forward to the second season.  Our only outlet currently for new Star Trek has its cursing and dark anti-Trek themes locked behind a pay-wall.  Or, we can look forward to … [Read more…]

Ten times in the month of November, one of which was to see a movie released this month twice.  This was a spectacular month in theaters.  We got the start of Oscar bait season, which isn’t entirely a bad thing.  In the past few years, the typical dreck has given way to some truly spectacular … [Read more…]

Editor’s Note:  I was provided a digital review copy of the first issue of Polybius Dreams by the publisher. Reminiscent of Stranger Things, Polybius Dreams centers around a group of kids that would have been known as nerds or geeks back in my day.  By back in my day I mean the mid 80’s when … [Read more…]

I went to the theaters nine times in the month of October, one of which was to see Kingsman:  The Golden Circle again.  This was a pretty good month in theaters all told.  No dumpster fires here, but two films may have gotten close.  And some people will not be happy about one of them…  Let’s just tear this bandage off immediately:  Blade Runner 2049 was … [Read more…]

I picked up the first volume of I Hate Fairyland back at C2E2 on a friend’s recommendation.  Right away the cover, and then the interior art, caught my eye.  The mayhem and humor I was told to expect was evident right away in Young’s pencils and Beaulieu’s colors.  The book follows Gert, a bitter and … [Read more…]

Sorry that this is a little bit late.  Had some stuff to take care of.  I managed to get to the theaters five times in the month of September.  We got two really good movies this month.  Let’s get on with it, shall we? IT was fantastic.  If it wasn’t for the last movie I … [Read more…]

You know how you get less diversity in art?  Book Banning and Mob Outrage, that’s how.  If you haven’t been keeping up with the news in literary circles recently you may not even know that here in the U.S. we have schools still censoring books.  We also have mobs carrying digital pitchforks and demanding book … [Read more…]
