Doctor Who: The Caretaker: Yes, Peter Capaldi is getting better.
Just in case you didn’t really know, what The Doctor really thinks of humans The Caretaker will show you. The Time Lord that believes humans are thick enough to fall for his ultimate disguise, a new jacket, and the alias “John Smith” (but you can call him, The Doctor). Never mind the fact that it […]
Saga Issue #22 gets complicated
Not complicated in a bad way, just more complicated in terms of the story and where your brain wants these kinds of love stories and drama to go. Typically, the husband/wife focus point is blissfully in love to the point it is sickening and wholly unrealistic. That is not true in Saga. While their love […]
The Equalizer is an enthusiastic rush of action
The Equalizer, which is an adaptation of the television series, is extremely well made, incredibly entertaining and satisfying, but light on meaning. This isn’t a bad thing, carrot cake is still good, satisfying, but it doesn’t count as eating vegetables. Much like that carrot cake, this film is highly satisfactory, and it contains just enough […]
Book Review: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The wait is almost over! On October 3rd the film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel Gone Girl will be out in theaters so, if you haven’t read the book, now is the time to get your hands on a copy. This is a book that readers either love or hate, so read on to find […]
Doctor Who: Time Heist is a lighthearted bank robbery adventure
The Doctor turns bank robber in Time Heist, but as things are when The Doctor is involved, nothing is ever as simple as it seems, so things were in this adventure. Two new temporary companions proved to be a welcome addition as Clara seems to have been mostly written out of this episode, in spite […]
The Maze Runner is a labyrinth of disappointment
I wish I could say The Maze Runner was a suspenseful and intriguing film that held me captivated until the very end, but I cannot. There are a few redeeming qualities, but not enough to make up the ground lost by sloppy direction and a bad script. The screenplay, based upon the novel The Maze […]
This Is Where I Leave You is as serious as it is funny
I love comedy, in a close second I love a good dramatic story. If you happen to combine those two elements, more often than not you end up with a confused mess that is neither funny nor profound. To my delight, This Is Where I Leave You is not a confused mess. It is a […]
Listen to The Doctor, What’s Wrong With Being Scared?
Listen is an episode brilliantly constructed, but only if you do as the title suggests. Listen very close, there is so much to hear, and just maybe you will discover what is underneath your bed. Written by Steven Moffat, who tosses words around the page as if they were toy building blocks. There is so […]
Comic Review: Bodies #2

Robot of Sherwood was playful and nostalgic
Doctor Who: Robot Of Sherwood was a little disappointing because the script appears fantastic, but appeared absentmindedly directed. This is one episode I had to watch twice to be sure that I was not simply misunderstanding the episode (thanks to a long convention weekend) on my part. After my second viewing, I feel more confident […]
GWAR B-Q Adventures Part One: Oderus’s Viking Funeral
For GWAR fans, the pilgrimage to the annual GWAR B-Q in Richland, Virginia is akin to Elvis fans traveling to Graceland. I have always wanted to go since the first GWAR B-Q in 2010 but was never able to justify the cross-country trip; however, when I learned that lead singer Dave Brockie aka Oderus Urungus […]
Doctor Who: Into The Dalek was revealing and fun
Clara sent The Doctor for coffee, and along the way, he got a bit distracted. Peter Capaldi continues his journey, or we could say this is where he begins the journey, to discover who he is as The Doctor. It is still a bit amazing to me that the title character of this show is […]
Comic Review: Pop #1
Dark Horse delivers its new series Pop that boasts a fun premise but falls short of backing it up with a solid story. Pop #1 Writer: Curt Pires Artist: Jason Copland Colorist: Pete Toms Publisher: Darkhorse Release Date: August 27, 2014 Will you agree? Check out POP #1. If Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus were merely […]
Peter Capaldi is Brilliant as The Doctor in Doctor Who: Deep Breath
Last night was the season 8 premiere of Doctor Who, and the premiere of Peter Capaldi as The Doctor. What a premiere it was, while I would love to say it was perfect, I cannot. Don’t let that fool you, I thought Capaldi was magnificent, the tone was appropriately foreboding and unsure, and the Doctor’s […]
