It’s almost October! The month of fallen leaves, bizarre temperatures, and most importantly, Halloween. It’s the one time of year where all things Horror are front and center. From costumes to candy to Tales from the Crypt marathons, October is a wonderful celebration of the macabre. We all love to watch horror flicks as...

I have a confession to make: I don’t often read what most scholars refer to as “literature”. My tastes are simpler. I like thrillers, mysteries, fantasies, westerns, some historical fiction, the occasional autobiography, science fiction and, of course, horror novels. Oh sure, I read most of the required classics in school but it’s rare...

It’s so easy to get lost down the rabbit hole of Mario when celebrating all that is Nintendo. He has parties, races go-karts, plays sports, teaches typing, and he once even had a time machine. When people talk about Nintendo after we celebrate the joy and fun of Super Mario we start to get...

Judge Dredd. It’s the kind of name that reminds you no matter how high on the cool-scale you think you are, you haven’t hit the ceiling – because he IS the ceiling (and the law). Dredd, the most famous hero to come out of 2000 AD (a weekly, half-century old British sci-fi comic series) wields what...

If the majority of reviews are correct and Gotham is one of the best fall pilots, we’re in serious trouble. I went into the show feeling cautiously optimistic but when it concluded, I was depressed and confused. The first episode is a complete mess; the tone is all over the map, the performances are...

Doomtown: Reloaded is the rerelease of Doomtown, the cult collectible card game from the late 1990’s, which in turn is based on the Deadlands roleplaying game system/setting. Still with me? Good. For years fans of the original have been clamoring for more of Gomorra, the boomtown-turned-hellhole at the edge of the world, and Alderac...

Your enjoyment of Tusk depends upon three things: (1) How much you like Kevin Smith, (2) Your ability to navigate glaring shifts in tone, and (3) how high your Johnny Depp tolerance meter is able to rise. I like Smith, I can handle abrupt changes in tone as long as a movie doesn’t shift...
