Tales Brings Hit-Or-Miss Characters to The Walking Dead

As the Walking Dead Universe expands into its fourth television series (and counting), Robert Kirkman’s original story grows by leaps and bounds. Each one is a little different and there’s several more on the horizon. The most recent one, Tales… Continue Reading →

Bullet Proof’s White-Knuckle Action Cures the Summertime Blues

Summer action films are somewhat of a mainstay. I love a good, mindless film where there’s plenty of fights, car chases, explosions and guns. I don’t think I am alone in that assessment. Not every film has to be an… Continue Reading →

She-Hulk Breaks the Glass Ceiling (and the Fourth Wall)

From Finale Gets Weird… Even for EPIX

Per Matt Whenever a storyline gets weird… I dig it. And should that story straddle multiple genres, I enjoy it all the more. If it somehow ventures into the gross-out category (such as body horror), I tend to shy away…. Continue Reading →

Does Oak Island Have a Portuguese Curse?

There have been many theories about what was once buried off the coast of Nova Scotia. They seem to multiply every year, and with each one, the legend of Oak Island’s curse continues to grow stronger. More than 200 years… Continue Reading →

Lightning Strikes Twice for Taika in Thor: Love and Thunder

Per Matt Originally dark and dreary, the Thor franchise was not exactly well received in Marvel’s Phase One by critics and fans alike (although I’m probably one of the few who didn’t mind the plot devices). When Taika Waititi was… Continue Reading →
