PACIFIC RIM [Review]: Finally, that ‘Smart’ Summer Blockbuster.

Only when the massive monsters and giant mechs do all the talking, of course. Pacific Rim is the most interesting movie of the year, if only because the premise reads like a dumb b-movie idea from a state college C+ film student (read: me), but lays behind one of Hollywood's brightest minds in Guillermo del …

UFC 162 [Silva vs. Weidman]: The Spider-Man meets his Ultimate Wolverine.

Although these two middleweight titans have often combined their superhuman/mutant strengths for Avengers duty, an array of Astonishing team-ups, and a seemingly infinite number of ongoing titles, Wolverine and Spider-Man have certainly had their problems in the past.

THE LAST OF US [Review]: ‘Jesus, Joel!’ Bioshock HAS company!

What happened to the future being flying cars, light-speed trains, and five-star dinners in the form of a pill? The future was supposed to be amazing! But this past decade, it seems like whenever someone makes a movie or TV show about the fate of humanity it’s always this bleak, terrible, post-apocalyptic wasteland. What’s wrong, …

Batman/Superman #1 [Review]: Bruce & Clark Begins.. we think.

Deciding to read this book whilst listening to Hans Zimmer’s score for the Man of Steel was a big mistake. A score that epic could have only been met by the level of Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Superman Unchained. But that was two weeks ago. So I re-read my assignment, thinking it would change …
