Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

I was looking forward to this series ever since it was announced in what seems like ages ago and the disappointment that was the feature film only served to fan those flames of excitement. I really wanted the Green Lantern franchise to redeem itself in the eyes of the general public because it’s a great [...]

I was beside myself with excitement when I learned that the entirety of the 100 Bullets team would be working on a sci-fi book, even if I had no idea what to expect from it. As a genre, science fiction is as far removed from crime as you can get and I was curious as [...]

About a year ago, I saw the Clash of the Titans remake, thought it to be terrible and decided to write a review of it. I set up a post (header image and all) but days quickly turned into weeks and I never actually wrote more than a few words on my draft. After finally [...]

It’s great when a piece of entertainment lives up to fantastic concept art like the one above. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Thor has had some great runs in the comics but he’s arguably better known as one of the “Big Three” in the Avengers alongside Captain America and Iron Man. With the Avengers movie [...]

Though never a fan of the original Tron (I’ve never even seen it but I do admire how ahead of its time the concept was) I was pretty psyched about the prospect of a new Tron movie based solely on the test footage that was released way back at San Diego Comic-Con 2008. In the months leading up [...]

The first thing I did after watching 127 Hours in the theater was to hit up IMDB to refresh my memory on director Danny Boyle’s previous efforts. Of his movies that I’ve seen, I happen to dislike 28 Days Later on many levels and I think Sunshine started out really strong before it plummeted into mediocrity a [...]

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was the last piece in the Scott Pilgrim comic/game/movie trifecta that I experienced and, going in, it was the one I felt most ambivalent about. I understand and appreciate the appeal of Brian Lee O’Malley’s original comic but, three volumes in, and I ultimately felt it just wasn’t for me. The downloadable game has one of my favorite [...]

Wait, what? Why am I reviewing a 10 year old game? Well, because I recently played through it for the first time courtesy of the PSN. Simple, right? Actually, I’m only on the fourth and final disc so I haven’t actually beaten it and I won’t be doing an all-encompassing review of the title. Instead, I’ll focus [...]

It was the posters that did it. With Dark Knight standing alone in the list of Christopher Nolan films I like, I effortlessly waded through months and months of anticipation and speculation over his next film prior to release. If the internet is anything to go by, the guy clearly has a huge following but [...]

Jon Favreau’s Iron Man was a surprise to many people. In spite of a rather shoddy third act, it was a funny, exciting and extremely enjoyable film backed by some smart and inspired production choices. No more than two years later and Favreau and crew are back with a sequel. Iron Man 2 packs higher [...]
