    Movie Review - Spider-Man: Far From Home

    There are only seven stories in the world, as the saying goes…and if you’re the second film of a superhero series, it’s a good bet you’re gonna lose something. And sure enough, we find that here in Spider-Man: Far From Home. To be fair, though, the fact that this second MCU Spider-Man film did indeed adhere to the usual tropes of a superhero sequel didn’t really occur to me until after I’d walked out of the theater. And as such, we have to look at that saying once again: if

    Game Night Review: Camp Grizzly

    So…who wants to get brutally murdered at summer camp tonight? This game night finds us taking a look at Ameritrash Games' Camp Grizzly, a game that takes its inspiration from the 80s slasher genre, especially the Friday the 13th franchise. It begs the question, if you obey the rules; don’t drink, don’t smoke and don’t fool around…will you make it out alive? If our playthrough was any indication…probably not. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, let’s go over the bas

    Toy Review - Transformers: Power of the Primes Leader Class

    So what happened to the toy reviews?!? Asked nobody. I was kinda surprised. [Given how long it takes you to write a damn article anymore, has it occurred to you that everyone’s moved on to sites that can actually update routinely? – Ed.] Anyway, to make a long story short, it’s hard to write up toy reviews when you don’t have any space to take pictures of the toys! After a long, apartment-wide restructuring, we’ve finally got a set up that works…for now. In the time since our

    Toon Review - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    Motion comic. Now, when I say those two words together, what do you think of? Comic book panels with limited animation, often times cheap looking, and a books-on-tape sort of narrator, right? Nuh-uh. Now that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse exists, that term needs to be repurposed because this film is the truest representation of a comic book brought to life there has ever been up to this point. I’ll take it a step further: when the trailers for the movie first came out,

Yes, I’ve finally gone to Tokyo. And yes, if you’re into Anime, Kaiju, gia

    The Joe Bob Briggs Experience: Port Orchard and Shudder's The Last Drive-In

    It was total happenstance. I’d just come off of the BoneBat Comedy of Horrors Film Festival and, aside from the parking debacle [Detailed here. – Ed.] I’d enjoyed myself. I had been surrounded by like-minded folks and even though I’m pretty socially awkward and didn’t talk to a soul there (aside from Lowell Dean, director of motherfucking WOLFCOP!)…I felt like I belonged. It felt great. Although I wasn’t out searching for another experience like that…well, events have a way

    It had eluded me for ages. First, there was a double header in Vancouver…but the stupid day job prevented me from going. Then…there was nothing. Silence. Screenings were still being held…but in Alberta…and that was a bit too far to drive. On a fluke, I just happened to catch a Tweet: BoneBat film festival…Another Wolfcop…Seattle…April 14th. Scramble to look at work schedule…I WAS OFF! Scramble to get tickets…no…no waiting for idiot friend to make up his mind…this was W

    Movie Review - Avengers: Infinity War

    This is what pisses me off. You had every chance, Warner Brothers…you really did. You remember that time you beat Marvel to the punch and brought out a superheroine? Remember all the critical praise and box office that brought you? If you’d left Justice League alone, let it be two parts and let Zack Snyder just do it…you COULD have done something this AWESOME and done it BEFORE Marvel. But no. You had absolutely ZERO BALLS.

    Toy Reviews - Transformers: Titans Returns Store Exclusives

    Okay, one final rush to get the remaining Titans Returns toys off my damn review desk. This time, we’re dealing with exclusives…some hard to get, others not so much. But thankfully, they’re mostly repaints, so I can be cheap and just add links to the original reviews while just briefly discussing what sets these new items apart. Starting things off, we’ve got Wonder Fest 2018 Winter TakaraTomy exclusive Black Convoy…or RiD Scourge as he’s known in the west. He’s a recolor

    Toy Review - Action Toys' Bike Robo DX [The REAL Masterpiece Cy-Kill]

    When Go-Bots started falling behind Transformers back in the hey-day of transforming robots duking it out in the toy aisle for a kid’s hard-begged-for cash, Tonka opted to go bigger…making Super Go-Bots, toys akin to their smaller brethren with similar transformations (mostly…I STILL can’t figure out Super Spay-C) but on a larger scale…better fitting in with their main competitors from Cybertron. It’s pretty obvious how this worked out. So, here in the modern age, should we b

    Toy Review: Transformers Third-Party - Open And Play's Big Cannon

    How many of you were disappointed in Hasbro’s Titans Return release of Voyager-class Galvatron? Raise your hands. ::Raises hand:: [You know this sort of thing doesn’t work over the internet, right? – Ed.] In my review of the toy, I wasn’t terribly keen on how the headmaster gimmick had been worked into him. That gripe still stands, but now there’s a new one. With the Combiner Wars release of leader-class Ultra Magnus and the Power of the Primes release of leader-class Rodi

    Movie Review - Black Panther

    Black Panther is everything you could hope it would be. And, like Wonder Woman before it, given the subject matter, there’s this societal compulsion to look at it as something more…perhaps as a watershed moment. Honestly, it’s that kind of thinking that is going to end up making my review of Black Panther to be a very complicated affair. So yes, we’re going to look at the film, but I feel that we also need to address the impact on society that film is having…which unfortun

    Toy Review - Transformers Titans Return Overlord and Takara's Transformers Legends Godbomber

    Here it is…the last gasp of Titans Return…but man is it a good one! Here we have two leader class figures that see their origins in the old Japan-Only series Transformers: Super God Masterforce…but only one of them officially made the leap over the Pacific to become an official Hasbro toy, that being the final leader class release (wave 5 for those of you still keeping track) of Overlord. But for those that bought the Siege on Cybertron set, well, then no Titans Return coll

    Movie Review - Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    We’re often warned against ever meeting our heroes…as such an encounter more often than not leads to disappointment. This, in a way, lies at the core of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There are a couple of other main themes that we’ll dive into here, but like The Empire Strikes Back, Episode VIII has the story turn darker, as any second act worth its salt should. [Episode II, we’re looking at you. – Ed.] This is a heavy film…and upon exiting, I felt every pound of it. Hell, w

    We continue with our ‘clip show’ reviews here as we continue to make the transition from Titans Return to Power of the Primes…this time with the Big Bad Toy Store exclusive box set: Siege on Cybertron. [Well, it was a BBTS exclusive in the US, I think Toys R Us had it in Canada…and I have no idea with regards to the rest of the world. – Ed.] While like the previous box set, Chaos on Velocitron, there really isn’t anything new here…just interesting repaints of previously rel

    Toy Review - Transformers Titans Return: Voyager Class Wave 4

    The nice thing about a toyline winding down, especially when it comes to Hasbro’s Transformers, is that the final wave or two is rife with repaints. As such, some of the upcoming reviews will be very much like the ‘clip shows’ that pop up from time to time. Sure, I’ll have a few new quips here and there, but a lot of this is going to be repeats from earlier reviews. Don’t worry, links will be included. So as we start to close up shop on Titans Return, let’s take a look at

    Movie Review - Thor: Ragnarok

    The short version is to just say ‘Go see it, it’s amazing.’ But since when have I ever been short about anything? There’s a lot to appreciate in Thor Ragnarok, but I think perhaps the best way to get into this review is by first addressing the folks at Marvel directly. Marvel, First of all, congratulations on a great film. The way the Norse apocalypse is handled here, juxtaposed to some fantastic comedy, creates a unique thematic balance that could have easily spelled disas
