Movie Review: ‘Crimson Peak’ – The Haunting (Struggle) Is Real
Haunted houses are one of Halloween’s biggest attractions. Creepy creatures hide around each corner waiting to jump–scare the unsuspecting visitor half out of their shoes. When all is said and done, everyone laughs at the diversion and goes home happy. A few of us even hide under the blankets just in case there really is […]
Movie Review: ‘Everest’ – All About That Base (Camp)
Many people dream of climbing mountains, but few people ever experience the rush. It’s about more than finding a trail and following it to the top. Professional climbers, and those that guide them, must school themselves in a number of safety precautions for years before making the attempt. Add to this the excellent physical shape […]
Movie Review: The Not-So-‘Fantastic Four’
The Fantastic Four is my favorite superhero team in the Marvel Universe. When I started reading comics, I loved X-Men and the Avengers, but was captivated by the idea of family that journeyed into the unknown together. They had differences and good times like any family, and they also beat up bad guys. No matter […]
Movie Review: A Defining and Bold ‘Testament of Youth’
One of the beauties of cinema is how it can so beautifully encapsulate and highlight what has affected us most.

The twentieth century’s pervading legacy has been about war, with […]

Movie Review: Is ‘Ultron’ One for the Ages?
Warning: this review contains spoilers. In the three years since The Avengers first hit theaters, there have been four Marvel movies, one TV show, one TV miniseries, one Netflix series, numerous casting announcements, and an entirely new phase announced. Yet somehow, nothing seemed to generate more excitement and anticipation than Avengers: Age of Ultron. Fans […]

Thirty–eight years ago, on May 25 1977, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, brought us the stories of the young Jedi Knight, Luke Skywalker, his long–lost sister Leia Organa, and the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca. This kicked off a multi—billion dollar franchise regarded as one of the greatest film series of all time, making […]
Welcome to the Age of Heroes
I recently attended a local game night with some good friends. We meet up once or twice a month for dinner and drinks, and discuss our favorite hobbies and pastimes.
