Book Review: Bill the Vampire, by Rick Gualtieri

Posted on October 2, 2018 by

I dimly recall, a long time ago, a friend telling me about this fan-fiction parody version of Final Fantasy VII he’d once read. According to him, it was a hilarious read. The only downside was that the author apparently only … Continue reading →

Season 2: The Redemption of Iron Fist

Posted on September 14, 2018 by

Danny Rand is redeemed. 🙂 Iron Fist was easily the weakest of the Marvel-Netflix Defender-themed shows. I still enjoyed it, no matter its relative unpopularity, but I was not blind to its problems. Then I was disappointed again with a … Continue reading →

So, life as a responsible adult is very busy. There’s a great, big pile of reviews waiting for me to write them, including books, anime, and television shows, and a pile of movies that I forewent watching and reviewing when … Continue reading →

Luke Cage, Season 2: A Hero’s Fall?

Posted on July 24, 2018 by

When the first season of Daredevil aired on Netflix, I loved it. While successive seasons of the Defender-themed shows have sometimes been good, or sometimes in desperate need of reworking – I am looking at you, second season of Jessica … Continue reading →

Jessica Jones, Season 2: AKA, My Complaints

Posted on June 9, 2018 by

Outside some fair (I think) criticisms, I really liked the first season of Jessica Jones. I can’t really say the same for the second. As the latest of Netflix’s Defender-themed additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking up Jessica’s story … Continue reading →

Infinity War: MC-Whoo!

Posted on May 31, 2018 by

I went into Avengers: Infinity War knowing that the heroes lose in this movie. I knew that from the moment we learned it was only the first half of the story. What I did not know was just how badly … Continue reading →

Hero in a Halfling: Not so “Epic”

Posted on May 22, 2018 by

I vaguely remember back when Shrek first came out, with the trailers declaring something like, “The prince isn’t charming, the princess isn’t helpless, and the ogre is the hero.” It was a funny, clever subversion of the classic fairy tale … Continue reading →

Black Panther Slashes Through the Box Office

Posted on February 20, 2018 by

And Marvel Studios produces, as usual, a fun, fantastic superhero adventure. 🙂 There’s something to be said for a studio who achieves a record like that, where such high quality is the usual thing. Their record on other screens may … Continue reading →

Black Lightning’s Electrifying Debut

Posted on January 30, 2018 by

When I first heard about Black Lightning, I was intrigued. My interest was somewhat tempered with the realization that it was being produced by exactly the same people who gave us most of the Arrowverse, and became even more so … Continue reading →
