What started out as a really rough beginning (it took me a while to realize that I wasn’t supposed to be thinking the football game was taking place 10 years previous and was actually a intramural sports league) quickly became an riveting narrative of deceit and corrupt authority figures. The interactions between Farrell, Norton and [...]

As part of our local comic shop’s awesome monthly specials, I was recently able to pick up both Vol. 1 and 2 of the first Hellboy series, all of which I had somehow yet to read. I just finished the first volume, and I have to say, it wasn’t exactly what I thought it would [...]

Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a huge fan of music games and, more accurately, a huge fan of Harmonix’s music games. I own every game they’ve worked on since Frequency. I wholeheartedly believe that Guitar Hero has changed the landscape of gaming, appealing to casual and hardcore alike. Then, after the Guitar Hero [...]

The story is gritty and vicious and expect all your emotions to be manipulated, but that’s what makes this work so incredible.

The Patty’s Pub gang was back last week with the premiere of Season 4 and it had me laughing all the way through the night. Irreverent, ill-tempered and as foul-mouthed as before (sorry, Mom), this show is just a train-wreck of hilarious that still hasn’t stopped to count the bodies. If you happened to miss [...]

Gris Grimly’s dark and brazen visual style (with just a hint of youthful simplicity) is an insanely perfect match for Poe’s usual fare of ghastly grim short-stories. Filled with gritty lines, eccentric character designs, and exceedingly authentic word interpretations, you can’t help but be drawn into this delightfully dark collection. Woven by two gentleman who, [...]

Shawn and Gus are back in full force and I am loving every minute of it. This new season already looks to give us all the same wonderful level of quirky fun humor (with tons of added pop-culture nostalgia) we have come to love from this detectivating duo. If you haven’t seen any of the [...]

A unique and intense thriller, with a strong cast and dedicated director, this movie had all of the makings for continuing the majestic paranoia that is the X-Files legacy. Sadly enough though, keeping with the tradition of X-Files is the one area where I feel this 1 feature film and 9 seasons sequel falls short.
Sure, it felt [...]

Overly hyped, to somewhat of its own detriment … at least in respect to the fact that a movie with strong profanity and extreme vulgarity was attended by 7 and 10 yrs.
Definitely plenty of laugh-out-loud funny moments and crazy quotable lines, but in my opinion, these are completely overshadowed and forgettable in light of the [...]
