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 →

Pizza Movie: All Crust, No Pepperoni

I have always believed there are two types of high-school experiences. There are the ones you see in movies, where everyone is always cool, effortlessly social and somehow always at the right party. And then there are the rest 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 →
