THE SUICIDE SQUAD [Review]: I’m A Motherf___ing Superhero!

You could probably get away with calling writer/director James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad an R-rated version of Guardians of the Galaxy, but it isn’t entirely fair or correct. It’s a complicated comparison, much like Gunn’s status with Marvel Studios that allowed him to make the film in the first place and whether or not The …

CATS [Woeful Worship – Rowdy Screening]: You Will Believe!…That There Is No God.

Come round, settle in, and let me tell you a tale, geeks and geekettes. A tale of a time before the Unmentionable Time. Back when the air wasn't deadly, and theaters were open, and we were free to come and go as we please. A time when the local Alamo Drafthouse, at Albee Square in …

I'm a fan of Star Trek. I'm not obsessive with the minutiae of it all (not as much as some other pop culture staples...**ahemJamesBondahem**), but I appreciate it greatly, both as a cultural touchstone and influence, and as an enduring storytelling series.

THE JUNGLE BOOK [Review]: Animals.. Assemble!

At a recent trip to Disneyland with my girlfriend, this critic joked about all of the random stuffed-animals the theme park had for sale in Frontierland. "With all of these Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel toys for sale, why would someone buy their kid...a wolf?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqmUoteadZI Well, now, the joke's on me. Disney lions, tigers …
