Zack Snyder's Justice League

Snyder’s Justice League: Epic or Just A League?

In 1990 Marvel's What The --?! parodied a fight between the Justice League and the Avengers. It was silly, and I quite enjoyed it. In a world where we have not one by two very different, but also very similar, Justice League movies, I figured we could combine them,...

Wonder Woman 1984

Wonder Woman 1984

As my friend Matt posted, Wonder Woman 1984 was definitely a movie. No question about that. There is, however, a real question about how good it was. And that is a truly self-contradictory answer. So, to reexplain, I recently decided to rate movies based on one main...

Star Trek Discovery, Season 1: Better than Mediocre

I finally broke down and started watching Discovery. And...it's not great. There is a lot to pick apart, and a lot of...let's call them unforced errors. And finally, it suffers from a serious flaw - the creators and showrunners think they are far more clever than they...

Paranormal TV: An Increase in Weirdness?

Blog Update – COVID-19

No, we aren't shutting down. We...lol. Anyway, I am not posting one of those inane 'COVID-19' messages where we reassure you that a purely online service takes your health seriously, and is going to make sure to clean more often/thoroughly. That's just nuts. Clean a...

Salvage Marines by Sean-Michael Argo

Salvage Marines by Sean-Michael Argo

In the afterward to Vampire: The Masquerade, Mark Rein-Hagen famously wrote "creativity is hiding your sources". In Salvage Marines, Sean-Michael Argo did not hide his sources. He instead seemed to revel in them, and not in a good way. From the Warhammer 40K opening...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

This was the finale of the Skywalker Saga, and I have to say, it was in a lot of ways the most Star Wars of the 9 movies. There is a lot of Star Wars in this…like more than you might expect. And that is a good thing.

Rim of the World

Rim of the World

I wrote, some years back, that the lack of character development in Pacific Rim was acceptable, as the characters were all archetypes. From Eager Rookie to Shouty Leader, not one character in the movie was much more than a stock archetype - many from Japanese media....
