Muppets Most Wanted might be the next Muppets movie since the last
Muppets Most Wanted is not quite as much fun as a room full of ferrets playing Twister, but it is close. If you have never experienced ferrets playing Twister, then Muppets Most Wanted will be a standard unit of measurement for cinematic fun. The film itself harkens back to the days of self-deprecating Muppet glory, with relentlessly […]
My Angst Gland is Divergent and My Ears Hurt.
Imagine if you will a late 1997-television teen-soap opera set in a post war dystopian society, written by Ayn Rand. That is how I would describe Divergent, except it isn’t that good. If this had been produced for television, there would be time to develop characters, and explain this new caste system before the breakneck […]
The Comics Behind the Movies: Captain America: Winter Soldier Vol. 1 & 2
Winter is coming… Actually, he’s already here.. Are you ready for Captain America: The Winter Soldier?

Now when I say prepared, […]

Need for Speed: Is It Worth Your Money?
Aaron Paul has broken bad; now he’s breaking expensive cars!
Aaron Paul plays down his Need For Speed
Need For Speed is big dumb, expensive, fun, if you are inclined to enjoy watching cars drive fast, recklessly, and crash sometimes, this would be your film. Surprising as it may sound, it also had a fair story, and some pretty entertaining dialogue. Enough so that I, not a car or racing enthusiast, found Need […]
Veil #1: Rucka Breaks New Ground with Veil
Greg Rucka’s Veil #1 was not what I expected. It is lyrical and impressionistic and definitely a departure from his other works like Lazarus, The Punisher, and Queen and Country. Yet, the characters in Veil still have Rucka’s trademark power and humanity, which is enhanced by Fejzula’s art. Veil #1 Writer: Greg Rucka Artist: Toni […]

You Should Be Watching NBC’s Hannibal
NBC did this great thing in 2013. They let Bryan Fuller create a television show about Hannibal Lecter. Yes, Hannibal Lecter. The cannibal immortalized by Sir Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs and portrayed by Brian Cox in Manhunter. You might think it unnecessary. I did at first. And then, I watched. I was […]
