A reference to Batman lecturing Robin about using protection during sex and a tortured woman's heaving cleavage are some of the unfortunate standout moments in Son of Batman, the latest DC Entertainment direct-to-video animated feature film that delivers grin enabling… Read More

May 16, 2014

For many in my generation, Godzilla represents much more than the rampant destruction of cities worldwide, and allegories of man versus nature and the dangers of atomic/nuclear testing/bombs. My Godzilla has always been a hero. When I grew up, The… Read More

Arrow Season 2 Finale ‘Unthinkable’ Review: “When You Need Me, I’ll be There”

May 16, 2014

It could have been worse. And I think I needed it to be worse. As Arrow wrapped up its second season, the pieces were in place for widespread tragedy to hit Oliver Queen, and when the dust finally settled, not much changed. The episode was very well… Read More

One episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD remains. One episode to wrap up the whole HYDRA vs. SHIELD storyline. One episode to explain Skye’s origin. One hour, folks. Forty-four minutes without commercials. That’s all… Read More

Arrow Season 2 Episode 221 ‘City of Blood’ Review: “Because I Am The Arrow”

May 1, 2014

This episode of Arrow rushes along at breakneck pace, and that’s not always a good thing. The rush waxes over Moira’s untimely death and pushes the pieces into place for the end game without any other setup. ‘City of Blood’… Read More

Agents of SHIELD Season 1 Episode 20 ‘Nothing Personal’ Review: “Who–or What–is a Man-Thing?”

April 30, 2014

Maybe it was just Cobie Smulders guest turn, but this episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD really felt like Avengers-lite. Agents of SHIELD has tried all season to make us believe it is part of the Marvel Studios Universe, and this episode… Read More
