Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Pulverizer Power
Growing up, I watched all the geeky Saturday morning cartoons I could—X-Men, Batman, Spiderman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were my favorites. … read more
Review: Jurassic World
It’s hard to believe that it’s been exactly 22 years since the original Jurassic Park attempted to open its doors, but that’s where Jurassic World begins. Now that John Hammond’s idea has become a reality and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) is doing everything she can to run a successful theme park, the notion of creating new dinosaur breeds by splicing various DNA strands together is the latest attraction. … read more
Review: Hello Ladies: Complete First Season and The Movie
There is an entire episode with a rented limo that feeds Pritchard’s ego to narcissistic heights and epic failures. Later, his attempts to fit in with the gay crowd at a dinner party results in telling stolen jokes that get him into hot water. … read more
Review: Rat Queens – Volume Two
It’s refreshing to read a series that treats equally with the fantastical stories of a well-run Dungeons & Dragons game and genuinely touching personal backstories. The Rat Queens are a team of rough-and-tumble adventurers-for-hire who drink heavily and live as large as they can in the little city of Palisade. … read more
Review: The Wire: The Complete Series
The Wire is not your average police procedural about hero cops and inhuman criminal acts. … read more
Review: Amphetamine Blues: Issues 1 and 2
I was greeted upon opening the monochromatic first issue by a photo of a lacy thong hanging off a stiletto heel and a blurb about the editor, Sakellis Manos, aka “~manoc~”.

Review: Superannuated Man
Beginning a review with WTF did I just read is probably as cliche’ as the post-apocalyptic story you’ll think you’re getting yourself into. Ted McKeever tells a chaotic tell of the last man on earth surviving in a world full of mutated animals that have taken over. … read more
Review: Bewitched: Seasons 5 & 6
I loved this as a kid, but watching this as an adult is a different, altogether terrifying experience. Samantha, Darrin, Endora and toddler Tabitha are back for all things domestic-suburban living, with a touch of the supernatural. … read more
Review: Thomas Alsop: The Hand of the Island Vol. 1
If you could be a rockstar gone web-series celebrity due to your incredible talent to fight the supernatural wouldn’t you? This book while loaded with supernatural tropes is still a fun ride through a group of friends shenanigans, truthfully coming back to haunt them. … read more
Review: Boardwalk Empire: Complete Series
Boardwalk Empire gets a slow start in Season One, but from the very first scene, Buscemi—as the semi-fictional Enoch “Nucky” Thompson—starts chewing up some damn fine scenery. … read more
Review: Focus
Smith plays Nicky Spurgeon, a seasoned con man who is in the midst of his newest scheme when he spots an old flame from his past, played by Robbie. The two get romantic once again while conning targets large and small. … read more
Review: Intersect: Vol 1. Metamorph
It isn’t often that a comic intrigues and confuses simultaneously, but the first six issues of Intersect collected into a trade have done just that. The wispy and colorful art style is supported with the fragmented story as you watch the battle between two lovers entwined in the same body. … read more
