Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

After seeing how close I had come by October, I knew that I’d definitely get 200 movies in by the end of 2021 unless something truly went awry. So then came the next thought… could I do it by the end of November? And that led me on a film spree where I averaged about a movie per day, so let’s get the heck into … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021 Part 2

The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51

We have hit the halfway mark of this list as of this entry, having gotten through the bottom 50 comics on Wizard’s list of the Greatest Comics Single Issues From 1979-2006. Which, back in 2006, was considered a comic fan’s lifetime. We were all a lot younger then, folks. I was TWENTY-SIX. God! Was my lifetime supposed to be twenty-six years. Wizard did not have … Continue reading The Top 100 Comics Of A Lifetime: #55-51

Top Ten: Generation Five Pokemon

After years and years of playing Pokemon, Generation 5 is the time when things finally started to change. With Generation 5 came improved Wi-Fi capabilities and a better device, the Nintendo 3DS (to be clear, Black and White were not 3DS games, but the 3DS’ backwards compatibility meant they could be played on it). And with those, came more efficient online play. That’s right, Geeration … Continue reading Top Ten: Generation Five Pokemon

Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 1

Like Luke Cage, this series gave us the first live action version of Iron Fist after many video game and toon versions (the character didn’t even get included in any of the Macey’s Thanksgiving Day Parades in the 80’s). Both Danny Rand and Colleen Wing were played by Game of Thrones alums – Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick. At this point, the Marvel Netflix hype … Continue reading Netflix Marvel Retrospective – Iron Fist Season 1

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (138-140)

Welcome back! It’s time for more of the worst season ever, as I try to find good things to say about it! Or at least critique why stuff is bad! Well, our first three bad guys are at least delightfully weird, right? The bad guys (who are the Dead Moon Circus, but still have no name) are still hunting Pegasus, and working for someone named … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (138-140)

Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Characters!

Apollo & Midnighter are obvious Superman & Batman analogues, created by Warren Ellis soon after he started writing StormWatch – they were part of an entire group of JLA knock-offs, but ended up being the only survivors. Apollo had been bio-engineered by SW “Weatherman” Henry Bendix with solar absorption powers, making him incredibly powerful- he was a black ops agent for Bendix who’d since gone underground after … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Characters!

Top Ten: Favorite Comic Villains

In a lot of forms of media, the antagonists are every bit as gripping–if not more so!–than the heroes themselves. Look no further than professional wrestling. A lot of wrestling stories are centered around a babyface’s trials and tribulations against the heels that seek to destroy him. But so often, it’s the heels who really shine. Whether that’s because they get to let a bit … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Villains

Stew’s Reviews: Superboy by Geoff Johns

Several weeks I ago I was critical of the Lex Luthor Unauthorized Biography comic, and ever since I reviewed it, I was hoping to swing back around and review another book I read once that also touches a bit on Lex Luthor’s home life and childhood. You know what? This seems like as good of a time as any! TITLE: Superboy: The Boy of Steel … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superboy by Geoff Johns

Entertainment Rex: November 2021

This is… very quickly becoming my “Here’s my recent movie reviews” post, and I am okay with that. When I started Entertainment Rex this year, the principle was that I’d discuss everything I watched, played, read, and otherwise enjoyed in the last half of a month. But I have been on an absolute movie TEAR of late, and it’s making it hard to do much … Continue reading Entertainment Rex: November 2021

Jab’s Reviews: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988): Written by: Gary K. Wolf (original novel), Jeffery Price & Peter S. Seaman This movie is considered, along with The Little Mermaid, as having helped kick off the Renaissance Age of Animation. Based off of a novel called Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, they changed a lot of the plot and surroundings (the author admits this was a good idea, and the movie version … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
