Voltron: From Days of Long Ago: A Thirtieth Anniversary Celebration

What better way to make you feel old than a seeing a beloved childhood TV show have a 30th anniversary? Seems like just yesterday I was sitting in front of my parent’s little 15-inch television eating cereal in my pajamas and watching Voltron: Defender of the Universe! I sat, entranced, as these young space explorers battled to […]

Penguins of Madagascar is a hilariously funny adventure for the whole family

DreamWorks Animation’s Penguins of Madagascar is a hilariously funny comedy featuring those four adorable, lovable penguins we grew to love in DreamWorks 2005 feature – Madagascar.  Filled with slapstick humor and witty one-liners, this movie is sure to have you rolling with laughter.  Follow Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private as they join forces with the North Wind, an elite […]

Horrible Bosses 2 is amusing, but second rate comedy, at best.

Horrible Bosses 2 is amusing, but second rate comedy, at best.

Horrible Bosses 2 is not a terrible movie, it is neither is it entirely worthwhile.  It is funnier than it deserves to be, and much of that is due to some remarkable chemistry, and first rate delivery of second rate material, and maybe a third rate story.  I will gladly admit that this movie got […]

Gotham Season 1, Episode 9 “Harvey Dent” – Even Cobblepot can’t save this episode

Gotham’s latest episode titled “Harvey Dent” was really just a filler episode that set up some major events for next week. Barbara left Gordon at the end of the last episode because she is unable to handle his life. I won’t go into how I feel about her because I know it would get too […]
