Tom Hardy phones it in, and drives Locke home
Locke is a restrained and uniquely raw film. It is simultaneously difficult to watch and impossible to ignore. Emotionally it feels agonizingly real and almost unbearably frustrating. Tom Hardy delivers what I believe to be his best performance yet, essentially performing the equivalent of the tango without a partner, tied to a chair. Hardy plays […]

Saga #19 Turns this epic story in a new direction
It has been a little while since we’ve been waiting for Saga #19 to release. Which was great for me. I needed to read the first Three Volumes to get caught up from the last issue at the end of January. Reading all those comics sucked me into the world. With everything still fresh for […]

Game of Thrones: Mockingbird
Mockingbird, episode 7, was not the sigh of relief I was expecting after the amazing close last week. It was, instead, a stunning gasp of realization as significant plot points were revealed to the audience, and to the characters. In the seven presented scenes, enough was revealed to see where events are leading. Traditionally this […]

Awesome is a regular guy living in an extraordinary world where superheroes patrol the city and wield incredible […]
Vampire Academy the movie just….bites
Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy books are surprisingly good. Based on the cheesy title, I didn’t expect a series of engrossing, well-written novels. When I learned Mark Waters of Mean Girls fame was directing the film adaptation and working with screenwriter Daniel Waters of Heathers. I thought that despite the terrible tag line: “they suck at […]

Godzilla, Our Saviour
What I’ve always loved about Godzilla is the sea monster’s willingness to fight our foes, while not necessarily caring at all for the well-being of us humans. Godzilla treats humans as just another species on the planet—nothing special about us. And happily, I can say that this latest of version of Godzilla has just that […]
GODZILLA STOMPS BACK TO THE TOP OF THE HEAP
After seeing Gareth Edwards’ feature debut MONSTERS back in 2010, I knew immediately this creative dynamo was going to be a force to be reckoned with. MONSTERS, about a news photographer helping his bosses daughter flee Mexico as giant squid-like alien invaders terrorize the countryside, was an exercise in character rather than being anything close […]
Godzilla will smash his way into your heart
Godzilla is absolutely everything you could, or should, expect from a movie titled Godzilla. That is monstrous amounts of fun. Any serious complaints I could make bounce off the subject matter as if Godzilla really could not give less of a damn what anyone thinks. He is like a pre-historic irradiated and mutated gargantuan honey […]
