Zack Snyder’s Justice League Review
Well, it turns out I was wrong. When the long-awaited Snyder Cut was finally announced, but we were also told it would take months to release and cost almost an additional one hundred million dollars, I was convinced that this movie was essentially going to be a do-over. I thought for sure the Snyder "cut"... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: DC Comics Films
Hey, it's Snyder Month! Regardless of how you or I feel about the upcoming Snyder Cut, it's well on its way, and it will be hitting HBO Max on 3/18/21. And there has been a segment of fans who have been rabidly awaiting this moment in pop culture history. Between those fans and the morbid... Continue Reading →
Ranking The Rumbles: 2021
2021: The Answer To My Wife's Question It's been a year, but we are back for another entry in my Ranking The Rumbles series! We are going to do things a little differently this year. I'll be actually talking about the whole of the 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, though I will be focusing most of... Continue Reading →
Top Ten: Best Comic Book Characters Since 1981
I turned 40 recently. I know it's "just a number" and "you are as old as you feel" and all (which... isn't useful ever since I fell down the stairs in December and hurt my back; I feel 65), but it's still a whole thing, right? Turning FORTY, man. Thirty is no big deal; you're... Continue Reading →
Tough Grading, The Elusive A+, And My Top 15 Stories EVER
I take no pride in being something of a harsh grader when it comes to comic books. I am not really sure why it is--I tend to grade out movies much more generously than I do comics for whatever reason--but if you look at my grading history, it is easy to see I am typically... Continue Reading →
The 2020 SWO Wrestling Awards!
I am a bit late on this, what with it being January 13th and all, but I'll let you in on a secret: this isn't really MY idea. You see, these annual awards are the brainchild of 411mania.com, where each of the contributors makes a list, then each day one new category is unveiled to... Continue Reading →
The 2020 Movie Experience
I have never kept track of these things, but I'm pretty sure I saw more individual movies in 2020 than in any other year. It certainly feels like it! The closest I have ever come before was in 2008 when I kept track of my New Year's Resolution that year to see twenty-six unique movies... Continue Reading →
Hope, Me, and Brodie Lee
Sometimes celebrities pass away, and there is a large sense of personal loss for people like you or me. People mourn. The whole world might mourn. Folks who have never met the recently deceased will take the loss harder than if it had been a relative of theirs. I'll be honest... I've never been the... Continue Reading →
Wonder Woman 1984 Review
So all right... I should have expected this. The records will show that I have been extremely excited for Wonder Woman 1984 since the very first trailer was unveiled way back in the Before Times. I was geared up for the Jenkins/Gadot follow up to their 2017 movie in a way that few movies in... Continue Reading →
The “S” Stands For Superior: Why Superman Is A Better Character Than Batman
Superman and Batman. The World's Finest Team. The two oldest and, likely, most well-known superheroes of all time. They are the pillars of comic book heroism. Without them, there may not be a Spider-Man or an Avengers or any comic book movie boom to speak of. A lot is owed to each of them. One... Continue Reading →
The Top Five: Tear-Jerker Moments In Comics
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... Continue Reading →
