Before Watchmen: Dr. Manhattan Issue #1 Comic Book Review

The "Before Watchmen" event continues to wow readers with the long-awaited first issue of Dr. Manhattan.

"Swamp Thing Volume 1: Raise Them Bones" Graphic Novel Review

I remember my first Swamp Thing comic was the second issue of Volume 2 which featured a picture of Dick Durock as the monster in the original movie on the cover. My parents were strict about movies I saw so it wasn't until I went to my father's house the next Summer that I finally got a chance to see the movie on HBO. Being the monster movie lover I am, I fell in love with it.

Blu-ray Review: "The Hunger Games"

With the end of the "Harry Potter" saga and the "Twilight" series about to wrap up, Hollywood is ripe for a new movie franchise to take their place.

Blu-ray Review: "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers"


Everything "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" accomplished by bringing back the masked knife-wielding maniac with an injection of Hitchcockian suspense was demolished by the fifth installment in the franchise. "Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers" is a sad attempt at taking the back story of the killer and expanding upon it. This movie is the perfect example of producers and screenwriters trying to make more out of something than is possible. Anchor Bay's release of the film on Blu-ray gives fans a chance to revisit it and scratch their head in bewilderment at the ridiculous subplot alluded to.

Blu-ray Review: "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers"

John Carpenter didn't know what he was unleashing in 1978 when his independent slasher "Halloween" hit theaters. It was a runaway sensation which spawned hundreds of imitators and continues to even now. Whenever a movie is financially successful, you can bet on it studios are going to demand a sequel. "Halloween II" followed the original in 1981 without Carpenter's direction. It picked up exactly where the first one left off.

Blu-ray Review: "The Rescuers" and "The Rescuers Down Under" 35th Anniversary Edition

One of my favorite Disney movies as a child is "The Rescuers." I know that's a strange choice out of all the countless classics the legendary studio churned out over the years, but it is what it is. I remember going to the theater and loving the gloomy setting of the swamp and the chilling atmosphere of the abandoned river boat. It just resonated with me as a six-year-old for some odd reason.

Blu-ray Review: "Battleship"

2012 already racked up a few blockbuster box office disasters. Many times the failure to bring in the audiences and money studios expected is warranted. Other times it's a lack of promotion and unexpected disinterest in the project. One of the films I was hard on before I saw it was "Battleship." I'm glad I got another chance to see it on Blu-ray now that it's coming out through Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

"Right State" Graphic Novel Review

You win some and you lose some. That's a saying we hear all the time. It goes for anything in life: sports, job interviews, movies you choose to see, and books you decide to devote yourself to read. Unfortunately, Vertigo Comics' "Right State" was a bad investment of my time. I hate writing reviews like this because I'm a big fan of both DC and Vertigo. Every book they publish can't be a winner.

DVD Review: "Wolverine" Anime Series

Of all the X-Men, Wolverine is the one who's proven successful at carrying his own weight outside of the team books. I think this is also confirmed by the anti-hero's stand-alone movie and another on the way. Japanese animator's Madhouse and Marvel Entertainment bring us the superhero's very own 12-part anime TV series to DVD. It's based on Frank Miller and Chris Claremont's successful 1982 storyline as its framework.

Movie Review: "The Expendables 2"

When "The Expendables" hit theaters, action enthusiasts didn't think it could get any better. Sylvester Stallone managed to recruit a majority of the action stars of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s in one movie. Not only did he accomplish this feat, but he constructed the perfect homage to the great action films of the 1980s which featured unapologetic, politically incorrect, and gratuitous violence that made many an adolescent boy and grown men alike smile from ear to ear.

“Superman - Action Comics Volume 1: Superman and the Men of Steel” Graphic Novel Review

The biggest public outcry from comic book fans was over the reboot of one of DC's oldest and most famous super heroes - Superman. Things didn't get any better when they premiered an image of the new Man of Steel in a skin-tight blue t-shirt emblazoned with his signature "S" logo partnered with a short red cape, and a pair of blue jeans rolled up over the top of old work boots. Where was his iconic costume?

Blu-ray Review: "Jaws"

The 1970s served up several films which had significant impacts on the world. There's no doubt "Star Wars," "The Godfather," and "The Exorcist" made a lasting impact on moviegoers across the globe. Another little film which probably caused many vacationing spots near the oceans to lose business in the summer of 1975 was "Jaws."

Dr. Seuss books are something every person in the U.S. grew up with, this writer included.

It comes as no surprise that if the writer's name is attached to a film, people of all ages will flock to the theaters to see it. Universal is bringing the latest adaptation of one of his books, "The Lorax," home for viewers of all ages to enjoy on Blu-ray and DVD.

Before Watchmen: Ozymandias Issue #2 Comic Book Review

Of all the characters in the "Watchmen" universe, Ozymandias was the most uninteresting to me. I found him boring as a character and rather shallow. He didn't seem as fleshed out as the other characters in the original book. Before Watchmen: Ozymandias changed all that. His book is my favorite out of all of them so far.

KISS Beats the Texas Heat at Dallas Show

Photo taken by Cameron Warren
You would think that a band of rock veterans with nothing to prove would give themselves a break and coast through their live show in 100+ degree weather. Any other band might, but not KISS. Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Tommy Thayer descended on a platform from the rafters of the Gexa Energy Pavilion blazing on their guitars and never let up for almost two hours. Drummer Eric Singer feverishly pounded away behind them as they opened the show with audience favorite "Detroit Rock City."

DVD Review: "Transformers Prime: One Shall Stand"

Transformers truly are a toy and movie franchise that bridge generation gaps. As a 28-year old industry, it gives parents who grew up with the "Robots in Disguise" a way to geek out with their children. The Autobots and Decepticons are more popular now than they've ever been after three blockbuster movies and a successful weekly CG television series still airing. Shout! Factory's "Transformers Prime: One Shall Stand" is made up of seven episodes of that successful show melded together into one seamless film.

Blu-ray Review: "The Butterfly Effect 2"

You can bank on it that if a film is a mild success in theaters, studios will find a way to exploit the situation and make more money off the concept. The best example of this is the thousands of direct-to-DVD sequels that litter the walls of movie rental stores across the country. Most are pale reflections of the originals. Every once in a while a sequel comes along that doesn't improve on the first one, but still manages to entertain. "The Butterfly Effect 2" falls into this category. It's both entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time.

KISS Drummer Eric Singer Tells Dallas to Get Ready for 'Monster' Show

When it comes to rock 'n roll, nobody does it better than KISS. The band is still going strong 39 years after founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons released their first self-titled album. They are presently touring with Motley Crue playing classic songs from their 19 album discography. A new track entitled "Hell or Hallelujah" is also among the tunes on the set list. It's a teaser of what's to come when their upcoming release, "Monster," comes out on October 16, 2012.

Eric Singer sits behind his drum throne pounding away through KISS tunes night after night. Just like his cat persona, he never shows any signs of fatigue as he constantly pounces on the drums set in front of him. Singer gives his all to the audience and has been since he started playing for the band in 1991.

KISS is heading down South to Dallas, TX on August 4 and Singer was quick to let fans know what to expect while remaining secretive about the details of the show. KISS likes to change things up with every tour. However, he doesn't want to spoil any surprises.

"That is the part that you need to see and hear with your own eyes and ears. This is a tour not to be missed, I can assure you," Singer responded when asked what fans can look forward to seeing and hearing this time around.

Every regional area and city has their own local flavor. Texas and Dallas, more precisely, are no different. What does KISS look forward to when coming back to the most prominent city in the American South?

"We love the Southern/Texas hospitality! We know that you do everything bigger in Texas and we have the show to match the saying," Singer stated.

One thing Dallas is known for is its grueling Summer heat. There've already been several 100+ degree days and it doesn't look like it will be letting up anytime soon. That won't slow down the Hottest Band in the World. Singer shares the mission of the make-up wearing and leather-clad rock warriors known as KISS.

"'Hotter than Hell' isn't just a KISS album or song title. The show must go on rain, shine, or heat! We will bring it no matter the weather."

KISS plays the Gexa Energy Pavilion on Saturday, August 4. The show starts at 7:00PM. You can go here to buy tickets and get more information about the concert.
