How FantasyCon blew me away.
Concerning Conventions FantasyCon was the first convention of its kind. Immersive and interactive, it plunged visitors into fantastic worlds unlike any convention before it. Unlike most conventions, they eliminated over 200 exhibitor booths to provide an arena, art museum, archery range, sets for photos, and multiple performance stages. There was so much space that even […]
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is remarkably powerful
The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not the film I expected it to be, it is not the film I wanted it to be, it is better. Propelled by the impressive performance of Andy Serkis the height of human drama is reached by apes. Well, a man playing an ape through the […]

Box Office Report July 7th
This week’s Box Office Report is wholly unremarkable. New films Tammy, Deliver Us From Evil, and Earth to Echo made very little noise at the ticket booth. Even second week number one film Transformers: Age of Extinction barely grossed over $37 million. The biggest drop in ranking game from Think Like a Man Too, which […]
American Gods are coming to Starz
The HBO project to bring Neil Gaiman’s novel, American Gods, to life faltered and was abandoned. That was very depressing news for me. The day I read this book I knew it needed to become a television series. It was too rich to become a feature film, too much would have to be cut and […]
Earth to Echo is charming for children
Earth to Echo is not a typical children’s science fiction movie. A unique perspective and presentation of a story comprised of multiple familiar elements. The all too familiar elements to the film are a significant weakness in an otherwise strong film. The similarities to films such as E.T., Super 8, Goonies, and Stand By Me […]
Box Office Report June 30th
This week’s Box Office Report is infested with Transformers, which had a huge opening in spite of the almost universally horrible reviews. We will see if those reviews hold any sway in the next week. 22 Jump Street and How to Train Your Dragon 2 both retained their spots in 2nd and 3 rd place […]
Game of Thrones: The Children & Season 4 wrap-up
By now, you have all seen the season 4 finale of Game of Thrones, The Children. If not, you honestly should evaluate the why you are living your life. In first airing, this episode garnered 7.09 million viewers. Game of Thrones has become HBO’s most successful series to date, and season 4 has been the […]
The Unbelievers is sincere, and unfortunately restrained
The Unbelievers is an amusing, mildly entertaining documentary, that is ultimately, and unfortunately, void of significant substance. As much as I liked the film, I didn’t take anything of value away from it. That may be because I am already an atheist, but I believe it would be similarly unfulfilling for a non-atheist, other than […]
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a perfect parent/child bonding experience
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is heartrending, heartwarming, and even more exciting than its predecessor is. In a theatre full of excited children there were cheers, and tears and not one perceptible ounce of disappointment. I’m not really sure if you can measure the disappointment of children in ounces, I’m not really sure why […]
Game of Thrones: The Watchers on the Wall
This week’s episode of Game of Thrones “The Watchers on The Wall” was entirely focused on the attack of Mance Rayder on The Wall and Castle Black. This is your warning, if you have not yet watched this episode and you keep reading I am not withholding spoilers. Night gathers, and now my watch begins. […]
Box Office Report June 10th
In this week’s Box Office Report, The Fault in our Stars overcame Maleficent’s pure charisma, but not by much. The Edge of Tomorrow came in a respectable third just $6 million behind the second week strong Maleficent. X-Men is hanging on to fourth place grossing $15 million in its third week, and A Million Ways […]
Game of Thrones: The Mountain and the Viper
Game of Thrones episode 8 of season 4; The Mountain and The Viper, begins, and ends with a grisly fight. Between those two fights is a whole bunch of plot. To warn those of you who may have missed last week’s article, from this point on, this is not a spoiler free page. Simply because […]
Box Office Report June 2
This Box Office Report we see Maleficent enchant audiences to a $69.5 million opening weekend, followed by X-Men with a $32 million second weekend while A Million Ways to Die in the West found $16 million ways to die at the box office. All told it was a fairly balanced weekend for the top four […]
