Ms. Marvel #1: So Much More Than the Hype
There is no excuse to skip Wilson and Alphona’s Ms. Marvel. Not only does this Ms. Marvel add to Marvel’s recent move toward wider representation in superheroes, it is also a darn good story with an engaging protagonist. Ms. Marvel #1 Writer: G. Willow Wilson Artist: Adrian Alphona Colors: Ian Herring Publisher: Marvel Release Date: February 5, […]
Gloria is impressive showcase of Paulina García‘s talent.
To start with full disclosure, I did not love this movie. I was not able to identify, personally, with any of the characters, and the story simply did not spark my interest. However, I can still recognize the quality and caliber of this film, in spite of the fact that I was unmoved by the […]
Rocket Girl #3: Transcending Time to Kick Ass
No one can keep Rocket Girl down. Not Quintum Mechanics in 2013 or 1986. Not the NYPD. With Rocket Girl, Montclare and Reeder have a headstrong protagonist on their hands. This teen is larger than life on the page due to this creative team’s art and storytelling.
Enjoy a Winter’s Tale this Valentine’s Day
Winter’s Tale is a genuinely fantastical endearing story, both heartwarming and heart wrenching, a non-traditional love story. I had few hopes; the tagline for this movie sold the wrong film. “This is not a true story, this is a love story.” While accurate, it definitely fails to capture the essence of the story, of which […]
Apocalypse Al is Our One-Woman Defense Against the End of the World
The Adventures of Apocalypse Al #1 is as cool as it is funny. Straczynski pens a witty female detective with supporting a cast of sweet and menacing supernatural characters. Kotian’s excellent art suits both human and demonic subjects quite well. Writer: J. Michael Straczynski Artist: Sid Kotian Color: Bill Farmer Publisher: Image Comics Release date: […]
Robocop fought the law and I won a settlement for police brutality.
The rebooted RoboCop tries to do several things as a film, and achieves moderate success, in some aspects. As a whole the film misses far more marks than it hit, the marks it did hit make the film entertaining, on the most basic levels. The film is confused, bouncing from satire, to action, to drama […]
Lord Baltimore Meets His Maker
When we last left Lord Baltimore, vampire demons had set upon his companions in the Chapel of Bones. To what lengths must Baltimore go to stop the plague and finally find peace? See my Baltimore: Chapel of Bones #1 review. Baltimore: Chapel of Bones #2 Writer: Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden Artist: http://www.benstenbeck.com/ Publisher: Dark […]
Arrow “Heir To The Demon” Episode Review
Ra’s al Ghul’s daughter has arrived, that’s all you need to know…
WPR Reviews – Justice League: WAR
Brian and Ryan are here to team up for a review of epic proportions. Well, maybe just reasonable proportions, but definitely done epically….
Make time for The Monuments Men
The Monuments Men is a remarkably fascinating story, told under the steady and reliable hands of George Clooney. While the movie was, as a whole, entertaining, it was not as riveting as it feels like it should have been. Perhaps part of that comes from the phenomenal cast and the reputation they bring with them. […]
Amala’s Blade Is a Cut Above
Steve Horton’s Amala’s Blade has a smart and capable protagonist. Once you get to know her, you will pray she’s always your ally and never your enemy. Amala’s adventures transform her from a single-minded assassin to a force for the greater good. Once you are done with this installment of Amala’s Blade, you’ll be wondering […]
The Lego Movie builds an awesomely entertaining brick universe.
The creative minds behind The Lego Movie built such a creative an entertaining universe I am already itching for more awesome. What’s more awesome is both of my kids are in the exact same boat. It’s impossible to tell walking out of that theatre if the adults or the children enjoyed the film more. Although […]
Arrow “Tremors” Episode Review
Do you have one of your red hoodies? You’re kidding right?… With last weeks Deathstroke introduction really putting an exclamation point on the Slade/Brother Blood storyline, the writers have decided to shift gears and instead focus on starting to move along some of the other various plot lines that have been lingering around all season. […]
Aardvark is Aawful
We frequently receive request to review small, independently distributed films. To speak honestly, these are usually not high quality films, but occasionally one will have a good original story, or show a young filmmaker with potential. I enjoy these because it can be fun to see what a creative mind can produce when they are […]
Conan The Barbarian #24
Writer: Brian Wood Artist: Riccardo Burchielli Publisher: Dark Horse Release date: January 22nd, 2014 Price: 3.50$ For the love of Crom, when will people stop pissing off Conan? It never ends well for them! Conan sits in a humid dark forest, bow notched and quiver full of waiting arrows strapped to his back. A terrifying […]
