Fallen Heroes

Alex Langley | November 27, 2008

A brand spankin’ new Watchmen trailer dropped this week. I have to say, I wasn’t particularly interested in The Watchmen before this, but the trailer just grabbed me. The previous trailers were in more of a teaser style, relying on your knowledge (or lack of knowledge) to draw you in; this new trailer hints at [...]

Now, I am about to commit what some might consider cinematographic blasphemy: I was never all that into James Bond flicks.

Mark Millar . . . Some Good Stuff After All

Nick | November 16, 2008

So, I’ve never really been a Mark Millar fan. I finally sat down and read Ultimates volumes 1 and 2. It’s not half bad. I have to commend him for doing a lot of inspired stuff, like making Thor into an interesting character that is more of a super-powered hippy who trips a little too [...]

Video game characters. Some are cool. Others are lame beyond belief. It can’t be helped; Having some video game characters suck is a natural part of the balance of the universe. For every Sephiroth, there’s a dozen gray haired villainous clones wielding unbelievably large blades and brooding menacingly. This is an article dedicated [...]
