Summit City Comic Con Preview Event

April 27th, 2012 | Posted in Events

The cultural context of comic books is never more relevant than when a crossover happens. When the stories that fill the glossy pages of our childhood move from print to film, or to the screens in our homes. Unlike the young upstart format of video games, there is no debate that comics are art. The […]

It is getting harder and harder to define what a “gamer” is in a world that has embraced social and casual gaming. Most everyone I encounter routinely and actively plays games of one sort or another, and the extent of knowledge that people have about games is slowly rising. The community that I grew up […]

So I sat down with the movie Dune, and the miniseries Dune and Children of Dune, a few beers, and watched. Here is what I learned.

Getting in Too Deep

October 19th, 2010 | Posted in BBC, TV

Review of BBC’s The Deep Miniseries With the multitude of wonderful series coming out of Britain’s television network, it seems that it would be a given that the recent miniseries focusing on Earth’s inner space would be wonderful as well. Unfortunately that is not the case, and while the 5 episode drama raises some interesting […]

Closing the Dollhouse Door

November 14th, 2009 | Posted in TV

Yes, it’s true, Fox has axed yet another of Joss Whedon’s wonderful and groundbreaking shows. While the first season’s low ratings were overlooked by the company, the second season was not so lucky. The November sweeps numbers dropped even further, and Fox decided that it was not a worthwhile investment to continue the show through […]
