Does Star Wars really need the opening crawl?
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a departure from previous Star Wars films in many significant ways. And one of the least significant ways in which it differed from previous entries is the...
Hit or Bomb? February 2017 movie predictions
Another new month is upon us, meaning it’s the time when I would normally go into a long-winded spiel about the kinds of movies you can expect over the next few weeks, but I...
Supergirl: Mon-El's not even supposed to be here today
Previously on Supergirl: Alex and Maggie Sawyer officially became a couple. Supergirl shut down an underground alien fight club run by Roulette, one of this show’s least intimidating supervillains, and that’s saying a lot. James...
The 30 most popular posts of 2016
January is upon us, so it’s time once again to take a look back at the most popular articles of the previous year.
Hit or Bomb? January 2017 movie predictions
January is upon us, which as we all know is the time of year reserved for that curious mix of Oscar bait finally going wide, obvious duds that got pushed back from summertime/holiday releases, and the rare diamond in the rough taking advantage of a total lack of competition. In other words, expect Rogue One to dominate the box office for the foreseeable future.
#ThrowbackReviews: 17 year old me on "Alien Visitation Films"
Because it’s the holidays and a slow time of year around these parts, I figured I’d have a little fun and take a break from contemplating the Grim Reaper’s current mass celebrity killing spree and post this term paper I wrote back in college. Yes, even before this blog existed, and in fact before any blog existed, and even before the internet, I was writing long-winded essays about movies.
Movies that Predicted Trump: Idiocracy (2006)
Welcome to the first in a series of reviews we’re calling Movies that Predicted Trump, where we discuss the films that foretold (in ways both large and small) the election of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States.
Hit or Bomb? December movie predictions
December is the time of the year that brings yule tidings, whatever the hell those are, along with the studio’s most family-friendliest blockbusters and their most Oscar-batiest of awards contenders. The release of another Star Wars film is imminent and looms large over this month’s releases, but there are still plenty of other films vying for your hard-earned ticket dollars this December.
Supergirl: Crisis on Infinite Weeknights #1
This anomaly will look pretty familiar to anyone who watches The Flash, and this is obviously a prelude to the big CW crossover event based on DC’s Invasion!, but before we find out any of that, we have this episode’s weak-sauce A plot to get out of the way.
DC's Invasion! (1988): A cosmic cash-grab crossover event
This week, the DC/CW superhero shows launch their very first four-night crossover event, and most of the episodes are all titled “Invasion!”, and if you’re a comics fan you probably already know this crossover is loosely based on Invasion!, DC Comics’ company-wide event of 1988.
Supergirl: Waiting for Cyborg Superman
Well, there are lots of action plots with this week, with plenty of mano a mano fights (or extraterrestre a extraterrestre, as the case may be) and lots of Michael Bay-esque shots with the camera circling around combatants (and even just people sitting around having drinks)…
Supergirl: (Gay) love in the time of Trump-era
Previously on Supergirl: James “Jimmy” Olsen decided to come out as a superhero, while Alex did just about everything but come out as lesbian. Mon-El lost his non-paying job at CatCo for screwing around at work (literally)…
Supergirl: Witty title blah blah, who cares, nothing matters
Previously on Supergirl: Mon-El arrived on Earth after escaping the devastation of Krypton’s sister planet Daxam. He’s the sole survivor of his homeworld and he’s all alone here on Earth, so it’s up to Supergirl…
R.I.P. AMERICA (1776 - 2017)
We finally really did it! But come on, how many systems of government last for 241 years straight? I think we did a pretty good job, all things considered.
Supergirl: Always bet on green
When last week’s previews revealed the main plot of this episode would be an “underground alien fight club”, I must admit it looked like a pretty bland concept for an episode. And guess what? It actually is a pretty bland hour of TV, and another one of those unfortunate Supergirl episodes where…
Hit or Bomb? November movie predictions
Join us as we predict which of these November movies will be HITs and which will BOMB based solely on watching the trailers!
Supergirl: I'm with President Wonder Woman
The President of the United States (Lynda Carter!) visits National City to sign a historic amnesty bill allowing all aliens to come out of hiding and live among us in peace. And by “aliens”, they mean aliens from other planets, but it’s hard to miss the obvious parallels to the other kind of aliens dominating the shitshow that is our current national political discourse.
Supergirl: Supergirl is dead... set on being a reporter
Previously on Supergirl: Kara always dreamed of teaming up with her cousin to fight bad guys, and it finally happened, as Superman’s boots were filled by an actual actor and together they protected Lex Luthor’s…
Cop Rock: Stalk like a man
Enjoy my last Cop Rock recap. Yes, like the show itself, these recaps are being put on indefinite hiatus due to lack of interest.
