THE LITTLE MERMAID (1989): Written by: Hans Christian Andersen (original story), Roger Allers, Howard Ashman, Ron Clements & John Musker And now we come to the TRUE game-changer at the studio- the movie that started The Disney Renaissance, and helped define a decade. Coming out in the late 1980s after a series of "scratchy outline" movies... Continue Reading →
Here's the thing. I usually break down my movie reviews into three sections: Non-Spoiler intro / Spoiler story section / Non-spoiler wrap-up. There is virtually no way possible I can talk about this movie without at least mild spoilers. I just wouldn't have very much to say! So here's your advance warning: This ENTIRE ARTICLE...

The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of the oldest super-teams in all of comics, and one of its most original ideas. Which is kind of funny, because it was dealt with very off-handedly at first in your typical "Superboy" adventure. Superboy at the time was basically "The Adventures of Superman when he was a boy!",... Continue Reading →
I was improperly raised on horror movies as a child, as I have detailed before. In addition to the semi-regular Jason-based nightmares that are just ingrained in my DNA at this point, it has given me a lifelong love of the genre. Horror cinema just combines some of the best parts of every other field of... Continue Reading →
Welcome back, chums! Last week, we looked at my ten favorite Pokemon from the original series of games, Red, Blue, and Yellow! We're moving on to Generation 2 this week to see who is the creme de la creme from the Gameboy Color era of Pokemon. I love Generation 2, and I had a copy... Continue Reading →
For more on this series up to this point, click HERE! #80. Preacher #50 By Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon The second of what I'm sure will be at least a few more Preacher books on this list--Wizard loved this book so damn hard--I was surprised by how much I liked the previous offering. I... Continue Reading →
The Bad Welcome back to our two part Agents of SHIELD retrospective. If you missed part 1 (and why would you read the second part before the first), I went over some of the things I loved about the series. As you probably figured out, I’ll be talking about the worst aspects of the series... Continue Reading →
SAILOR MOON SUPERS: Typically called Super S in the West by my recollection, it's actually called SuperS, but most of the online Sailor Moonfandom had never seen it at the time (the mid-90s). This whole season has a very palpable sense of "... so, I came up with their past, their future, then added the Sailors for the missing... Continue Reading →
POP-TARTS ARE FOREVER. POP-TARTS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND. BLOOD POP-TARTS. TWO KARAT POP-TARTS. WAIT, NONE OF THESE SOUND RIGHT. THIS IS... POP-TART QUEST! I know I have given Pop-Tarts some crap in the past over flavors like Pink Lemonade, Orange Crush, and A&W Root Beer because drinks aren't food. But what if they kind... Continue Reading →
Yes, DEATHBLOW. I’m less surprised by the name and more surprised they didn’t come up with it elsewhere- it’s possibly the most “Iron Age” name in a line that includes Warblade, Ripclaw, and Ballistic. The comic itself is an attempt by Jim Lee to ape Frank Miller, and it’s curious and bold on that attempt-... Continue Reading →
Okay. Okay, okay. I am more calm than I was when I wrote that review *checks clock* 15 minutes ago. Let's look at this more rationally and critically. Guys, this movie is truly amazing. Just... I'm still floored. I want to turn around and go watch it again. Okay, it turns out I am really... Continue Reading →
Welcome back to Stew's Reviews! Devotees will know that it was only a few weeks ago that we were talking Green Lanterns (The War of the Green Lanterns, specifically), and fate has steered us back towards the chartreuse champion as we dig into a six issue miniseries for the second week in a row (this one...

Wait, don't I usually do two of these in a month? I do; this is usually split up into first half / back half so it doesn't get too wordy. But August was a pretty slow month in many regards, so by the time mid-August appeared and I had done very little, I figured I'd... Continue Reading →
