When is a Comic Book Movie Not a Superhero Stereotype?

I’m a huge fan of nostalgia. And as a Child of the ’80s, comic books have always played a role in my life — mostly nostalgic, these days. Batman, G.I. Joe and The Transformers have always been my trifecta of… Continue Reading →

Disney Finally Deems Darth Maul in Demand

What’s the common thread between Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Darth Maul? For decades, my biggest complaint of the Maker, himself, George Lucas, was that he could seemingly create such cool character descriptions of Star Wars antagonists with ease, but… Continue Reading →

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Feels Like a Power-Up That Wears Off Too Fast

Remote wilderness: A place where you can unwind with nature, not seeing or hearing another soul. It’s a peaceful promise, one which I recently accepted in purchasing a house on the outskirts of a suburban neighborhood; where I can still… Continue Reading →

Eternity Is A24’s Most Heartfelt Romance, Yet

I have been cleaning out my old house lately, the kind of slow-and-dusty process that sends you drifting down memory lanes you did not even know were still open. In one of the back closets, I found a stack of… Continue Reading →
