Kill The Messenger was intriguing, complex, and a little dry.
Kill The Messenger was intriguing and compelling. Its basis in truth lends much to the story, grounding the film. It is apparent that while some events and characters may have been enhanced to improve the narrative for entertainment value, the extent of that exaggeration was reasonable and I did not feel the integrity of the […]
Dracula Untold lacks teeth
Dracula Untold was hit and miss at best, incoherent at worse. While there were entertaining parts, and a decent story the film was plagued with inconsistencies, careless makeup and effects, and substantial plot holes. Now given that, this is a Dracula movie, and what may be the initial entry in Universal’s Monsters franchise, it might […]
WPR is here PREPPING you for an emergency. Or the next big apocalyptic world ending event of destruction.
There is a giant swath of people who enjoy post apocalyptic themes and survival scenarios. Heck, most of us have watched a movie or show and commented, “I could survive that.” I know I’ve had dreams of being Max Rockatansky in my tricked out car surviving the wasteland. Or watching The Walking Dead and thinking […]
Day 2 at Days of the Dead Los Angeles
We started off Day 2 of Days of the Dead much more refreshed than the previous day, having actually gotten a good night’s sleep the night before. It was a surprisingly sober night too! That being said, my friends and I were ready to rock by the time the convention opened early for the day […]
Gwar B-Q Adventures Final Chapter: GWAR Lives!
This is part three of my adventures at this year’s Gwar B-Q! Read part one here and part two here.

Book Review: Foundations in Comic Book Art by John Paul Lowe
I’ve read through many an instructional art book in my time. Flipping through pages and pages, searching for that one sentence or even paragraph that would hold the secret to being a great artist. That one thing that would take my mediocre talent and transform into a flourishing unique art skill that people would want […]
Gotham Season 1, Episode 3 “The Balloonman” – Vigilantes, Fencing, and a Questionable Moral Compass
Now that Gotham’s got most of its characters established and has set the stage for what’s to come, “The Balloonman” shows us what Gotham really is: a cop show. And a pretty good one at that. In comparison to the first two episodes of the season, which were chock full of character cameos, action, more […]

Kill The Moon has Capaldi showing off his Doctor Who roots
Kill The Moon was a perfect mid-season episode. The tonal shift was palpable, and there were some significant character revelations will resonate through the rest of the season. There is a lot of good, a lot of cheese, and a lot to discuss. This episode was surprising, full of easter eggs, and screams for a repeat viewing. Here […]
Day 1 at Days Of The Dead in Los Angeles
To say I was excited about spending the weekend in Los Angeles for Days of the Dead is an understatement. The chance to be able to attend what looked to be the largest horror convention on the west coast almost had me foaming at the mouth in anticipation. I had planned for it, in detail, […]

Gone Girl strikes a hair-raising minor chord
David Fincher’s latest film Gone Girl is magnificent for a surprising multitude of reasons. Days after watching I am still thinking about this movie, mulling over Fincher’s construction and portrayal of Gillian Flynn’s story. By the end of the film, I can see all the pieces, and where they fit, but for some reason I […]
