Season Finale Round-up
Well, its been a somewhat bizarre strike-interrupted TV season. The most exciting new program I watched this year was The Wire which, as I’ve mentioned in this blog before, is what got me through the months-long writers strike. But there was still a lot of fun TV-watching to be

As an addendum to my list of my five favorite super-hero movies posted at the start of this week, here are three super-hero movies that I consider to be tremendously under-rated: Superman Returns — I just don’t understand the almost universal apathy or even dislike towards
With Great Power…
I love comic books. And that means that I grew up with a great love of super-hero stories. These days its true that many of my favorite comic books have little to do with super-heroes (looking through my “to-read” pile I see titles like David Lapham’s Young Liars, St
Indiana Jones and the Long Weekend
I’ve gotten quite a response, via e-mail, to yesterday’s review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! I truly wish I had better things to say about that movie. Maybe some of you out there will enjoy it more than I did. No new cartoon on Monday because of t

Fortune and Glory
So I feel like I’ve come across as being rather down on the new Indiana Jones movie in my recent blog entries. But really – it’s the first new Indiana Jones movie in 19 years! How could I NOT be incredibly excited?? Am I a little dubious about The Kingdom of the Cr

When Good Series Go Bad
I watched Alien Vs Predator: Requiem this weekend on DVD. Sigh. Has there ever been a franchise that started off as incredible, and then became so abysmal, as the Alien and Predator series? (A certain series about a family named Skywalker does come to mind, although I consider t
