DVD Review: The Final Destination 3D

I’ve always been a fan of the Final Destination movies. There is no visible killer ala Jason, Freddy or Micheal Myers, and the killer doesn’t stab you with a knife or decapitate you with an axe. Instead, there are normal accidents that could happen to you on any given day (which is scary enough). [...]

Episode 4 of “Spider-Woman” Picks up Needed Pace

You may remember from my review of the first episode of “Spider-Woman” my lack of confidence in this new animal known as the ‘the motion comic.’ That initial episode of “Spider-Woman: Agent of SWORD” didn’t seem to know its place. The art was nothing short of Maleev’s best, but the characters were awkward. The [...]

Twice Bitten by “Incarnate”

Oh, how the world has changed since “Incarnate” #1. “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” has become just “Kate Plus Eight” (refresh your memory with my review of the first issue, and Joel McHale has his own show on network television. But, has “Incarnate,” the vampire comic by Gene Simmons’ son, Nick Simmons, shed some of [...]

“Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” Hits a Sweet Spot

Having watched many of the direct-to-DVD films from both Marvel and DC, I couldn’t help but feel like I was too old for these types of films. As a kid, I loved the Saturday morning Spider-Man cartoon or the Batman/Superman hour that ran every day after school. I had hoped that these new cartoons, most [...]

“Fringe: The Complete First Season” Reviewed

Teleportation, mind control, astral projection, invisibility, precognition, spontaneous combustion, reanimation: these are among the peripheral sciences–or “pseudo-sciences,” as one skeptic puts it–examined during the first season of Fringe, a Fox network TV drama debuting on DVD with the full first season (twenty episodes) offered on seven extras-laden discs. The notion that those phenomena could have [...]
