I saw Dredd a couple of weeks ago. I am typically not a fan of UK comics, with the exception of the 1990s Marvel UK stuff and the 1980s Death’s Head, Transformers and Dragon’s Claws books by Simon Furman, but I saw this after hearing the eponymous character’s actor talking about how, in a costume like that of Judge Dredd, you [...]

Earlier today, I hopped onto Google Play to look into a new game for my mobile phone and saw, on the main page, that Marvel Comics is now selling TPBs through Google Books.

DARK SHADOWS Directed by: Tim Burton Written by: Seth Grahame-Smith & John August Release date: May 10th, 2012 Rating: 3.5 / 5 I’m really not a fan of Tim Burton. Most of the time, his movies are quite pretty – the backgrounds and set designs, if not the actors. Here, the sets and the actors [...]

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Directed by: Wes Craven Written by: Wes Craven Release date: November 9th, 1984 Rating: 3.5 / 5 Ah, Johnny Depp. I don’t like Johnny Depp. Tim Burton’s films are a horrendous load of wank, and the Pirates of the Caribbean films are laughable. Sadly, Johnny Depp has let his popularity from these films [...]

VIRUS Directed by: Fukasuku Kinji Written by: Takada Kouji & Gregory Knapp Release date: June 26th, 1980 Rating: 4.9 / 5 Note: This review is for the 108-minute “International Version” of the film, not the full-length Japanese cut. Both versions are available from the Internet Archive, as public domain films. Wow. There’s something about Japanese [...]

When doing research for my recent review of Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned, I came across a review by Anime News Network‘s Justin Sevakis. And, well, I want to be polite, so I’ll just say that his review had a few “problems”. I’m going to point out a few of his flawed arguments and claims, [...]
