I don’t actually call the Friday The 13th movies “Friday The 13th”. I mean… I know that’s the name of the Franchise, but it just doesn’t work for me. They’re “Jason Movies”. They’ve always been “Jason Movies” to me, and they always will be “Jason Movies” to me. Even when a startling number of them don’t have… you know… Jason in them. That’s weird. But … Continue reading Ranking The Friday The 13th Franchise Movies
You’ve likely never asked yourself “Where did the Stew World Order and SWO Productions come from?” Luckily, there are answers to even the most unasked of questions! I view my articles here as a way for us to get to know each other and share our opinions on anything and everything. In that spirit, we should discuss how we got here. So come with me … Continue reading History of the SWO part 1: Odysseus and His Two Pairs of Pants
In case the title isn’t tipping you off, we’ve been here before. Twice, even! Nary a Friday the 13th passes without my ranting about horror flicks. It’s mostly a horror stream of consciousness, frankly. I never go into these articles with a plan. Planning is for people that have something important to say! So what’s not important right now…? I was recently at some very dear friends’ going … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Part 3!
Wait a minute… This feels familiar. (Also, the longer I look at the word (“word”) “Fridayth”, the more I think it looks like the name of a Norse deity. Just throw a misplaced J in there, and we are good to go. Frijdayth! The dawn of our Norn blessings!) Anyway, remember back in October when we ranked our best candies in honor of Halloween? Originally, I wanted that … Continue reading Thirteen The Fridayth: Part 2
Hi there friends, and thanks for joining me back for another edition of Stew’s Reviews! I know you’re all very concerned, so I’ll provide you with a quick update to start us off: they are still building those damn townhouses about 30 feet from my home. This is my life now. However! The early morning pounding this morning also featured one of the crew members … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Bone
You know, it’s been a few weeks since I reviewed something I really, really enjoyed and could unabashedly recommend without hesitation. We’ve been bopping around the 4-7 spectrum for a while on these ratings, and I feel that you deserve a better class of comic book. Yeah, I’m going to the well of comics I’ve already read for you this week (and read several times, … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Deadpool by Daniel Way
Sorry, obviously I did not read all, what, 300-some issues of this series (Oh, 300 exactly, okay. That’s a nice round number). I merely dipped my toes into the beginning of the series by reading the first ten issues and then pulling through some random issues of the later runs to see how it progressed between gaps. Cerebus is another book that has always been … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Cerebus
I’ve been itching to cover this particular idea for a while now. I love fights and I love the funny, but comics are best to me when they make you FEEL. I remember reading the last issue of the six-part Spectacular Spider-Man series “The Child Within” as a boy and being struck because it was different than what I thought comics could do. I was … Continue reading The Top Five: Tear-Jerker Moments In Comics
First of all, I’ve really got to start Wikipedia-ing some of these entries before I choose them, apparently. I started reading Alan Moore’s 1963 series not knowing that… it doesn’t end. It’s a six-issue mini-series, and while yes, I have all 6 issues, the mini-series builds to a resolution that would be told in a giant-size crossover special called Double Image. Now here’s where this … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: 1963
This week we’re turning heel and delving into best assortments of villains in all of comics! A dictionary that I didn’t actually bother looking at presumably defines a villain as “the kind of person you chill like” and a gallery as “a place with… art, right? I don’t know“. But in the world of comic books, a line-up of villains–or rogues gallery–is the collection ne’er-do-wells … Continue reading Top Five: Rogues Galleries In Comics
My cat is really not having this article. I am usually able to write these in relative peace. I settle in on the bed in the spare guestroom, get something to snack on and some lemonade, and I got to town. Maybe one of the three cats will jump up on the bed next to me and chill out, but Nuke is being super aggro … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Marvel Zombies
Trick or Treat! We’ve already covered our Top Ten Halloween Franchise Flicks and our Top Ten Horror Movie Monsters. What else could we do as we approach Halloween? I’ll be honest… candy is a borderline passion of mine. I still eat candy like a nine-year who lives in a world where it’s Halloween every day. It’s a habit I’m TRYING to break as I approach … Continue reading Top Ten: Candy
Another week, another comic, fellow comic fans. But most importantly, my comic book store had their 30th anniversary sale the weekend of my writing this; Thirty percent off everything! I didn’t manage to get much that will be beneficial to reviews here in the near future (most of what I blew my cash on were non-book items like Kotobukiya statues or books that have come … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Solar, Man Of The Atom
When it comes to ranking the 10 scariest movie monsters the challenge is separating themonsters from the humans. Because, while tons of humans behave monstrously or becomesupernatural monsters by magic or sheer will, they are/were nonetheless human.I believe it’s cheating to put some seriously scary human characters like Michael Meyers(Halloween) or Jason Voorhees in this category because while they are excellent movie villains,they don’t quite … Continue reading Book Of Lies’ Top Ten Horror Movie Monsters!
I have had a long love/hate relationship with horror movies. I have written on my previous site in some depth about my history with horror flicks, and I will be revisiting those articles from the archive soon enough (as in: HERE’S the first one). The abbreviated backstory is this: I was RAISED on awful 80’s slashers. When I was [single-digits] years old, my mom, dad, … Continue reading Top Ten: Horror Movie Monsters/Villains
