“Dallas: The Complete Second Season” DVD

My fascination with the city of Dallas began way before I moved to the suburbs of the most famous metropolitan areas in Texas. It started when I was around eight years old and I witnessed the shooting of J.R. Ewing on prime time television. At that age, I probably shouldn't have been watching a night-time soap opera full of boozing, brawling, and bed-hopping the likes that no American had seen before. Read more

“Justice League Dark Volume 3: The Death of Magic” Graphic Novel

I'm not a regular reader of Justice League Dark. It's not that I don't like John Constantine or any of the other characters involved in the monthly title. Frankly, I just don't have time to spare to pick up another book to read on a regular basis. DC Comics once again found a way to lure me in. As I flipped through "Justice League Dark Volume 3: The Death of Magic," I was bombarded with pages full of Swamp Thing and other creatures in his form. Read more

"RoboCop" Movie Review

There's nothing fanboys and girls hate more than remakes of classic properties deemed untouchable. I can think of several reboots which were greeted with disdain when they were released. "A Nightmare on Elm Street," "Clash of the Titans," "Dark Shadows," and "Friday the 13th" are just a few that come to mind right away. However, I've rarely heard more condemnation and anger than what's been targeted at the reboot of "RoboCop." After seeing the film, I can tell you it's completely unjustifiable. Read more

"Darkman" Blu-ray

Many people think the "Spider-Man" trilogy was director Sam Raimi's first crack at the comic book and super hero genres. Scream Factory does what they do best by releasing "Darkman" on Blu-ray and setting the record straight. Although Darkman was an original creation of the "Evil Dead" helmsman, the character was born out of Raimi's frustration at not being able to acquire the rights to make a Batman or Shadow movie. In essence, he worked backwards. The movie came first and then the comic followed. Read more

2014 Dallas Sci-Fi Expo

There was no doubt in anyone's minds at the close of the 2014 Dallas Sci-Fi Expo that the event had more than outgrown the Irving Convention Center.

“Justice League: War” Blu-ray

DC Comics shook up the comic book world in 2011 by completely rebooting their entire line of comic book titles. It was a shake-up that left many fanboys and girls angry, while others just embraced the change and moved on. I was one of the folks who jumped on the train and went along for the ride.

With the monthly titles continuing to develop, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. trudged on putting out animated movies the same way they always had. None of the modifications made to the new Universe were addressed… until now. It's 2014 and the time has come for the New 52 world to bleed over into the DC animated cosmos with "Justice League: War." Read more

Earth 2 Annual #2 Comic Book

I've always said I don't keep up with alternate universe storylines when it comes to comic books. DC Comics has found a way to change that and further clutter my already jam-packed reading time with another series to struggle to keep up with. They knew exactly how to reel me in. They put Batman on the cover of the first issue of Earth 2 and I was sucked in. Read more

Batman and Robin has always been a book about the strained-yet-perfect pairing of the most legendary crime fighting duo in the comic world. Batman and Robin Annual #2 captures the essence of the relationship the Dark Knight has with all the partners he's worked with over the years that wore the red, yellow, and green costume.

"Escape Plan" Blu-ray

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger return to do what they do best in Director Mikael Håfström's "Escape Plan." They kick butt, blow things up, kill a lot of folks, and rise victorious in the end. It's a fun ride fueled by enough testosterone to power a bulldozer and knows its target audience: men. Although it didn't fare well in the U.S. at the box office, Summit Entertainment gives audiences another chance to see the film at home on Blu-ray, DVD, or Digital Download. Read more

“The Joker: The Clown Prince of Crime” Graphic Novel

In 1975, the Joker became the first Batman villain to be awarded his very own title. Throughout each issue, the Clown Prince of Crime went up against a super hero or another megalomaniacal criminal before his corrupt plans were foiled and he was sent back to prison or left for dead. DC Comics has done fans the great service of finally releasing the nine issue series that ran from 1975 to 1976 in one collection. Read more

"Die, Monster, Die!" Blu-ray

I do love the old American International Pictures films from the 1960s. Many of them were directed by Roger Corman, starred Vincent Price, and were based on Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft stories. What did AIP do when they couldn't rely on Corman or Price to head up one of these moneymaking projects? They replaced them with other reliable talent like Boris Karloff and Set Designer / first time Director Daniel Haller. Read more
