Well, here it was, the Arrow story of how two friends–brothers in arms–went to war with one another over the love of a girl. It had been teased and set up and alluded to, and finally, we got to see how it all shook out. ‘The Promise’… Read More

Agents of SHIELD Season 1 Episode 14 ‘T.A.H.I.T.I.’ Review and Recap 6 Qs

March 6, 2014

The long break really hurt Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. After a successive run of great episodes, the flow was broken. ‘T.A.H.I.T.I.’ was good, don’t get me wrong, but is really needed to back up ‘T.R.A.C.K.S.,’… Read More

Arrow Season 2 Episode 214 ‘Time of Death’ Review and Recap 6 Qs

February 28, 2014

This week’s new Arrow episode had some very high points and a few very low points. The comic book feel was captured well, as Arrow had to save a bus full of innocent people, shoot a trick arrow, and the entire team worked as a unit throughout.… Read More

Free Birds Blu-ray Review

February 20, 2014

Free Birds takes a clever concept of talking turkeys trying to thwart Thanksgiving and injects it with cookie cutter characterizations and unnecessarily complicated time paradoxes. The final spread is a dish best served warm; cute at times, but can't elevate… Read More

Arrow Season 2 Episode 213 ‘Heir to the Demon’ Review and Recap 6 Qs

February 6, 2014

Arrow’s latest was an anticipated episode that delivered, but didn’t quite knock me out. Nyssa al Ghul is a great character that I hope to see more (much more) of, and Oliver Queen’s world just got shook up more than even he… Read More

February 1, 2014

"25 drivers start every season in Formula One, and each year, two of us die. What kind of person does a job like this? Not normal men, for sure. Rebels, lunatics, dreamers... people who are desperate to make a mark… Read More

Arrow Season 2 Episode 212 ‘Tremors’ Review and Recap 6 Qs

January 31, 2014

Wow. This episode of Arrow was the perfect set up for what is to come in the next few weeks as well as the rest of Season 2. The training stuff between Roy and Arrow proved to be much better than I hoped, and the new developments involving Moira, Laurel,… Read More
