    I love the Bourne movies so damn much – well, the original trilogy at least – and so I’m hyped to the max for the Jason Bourne movie this summer (much more than anything else coming out this year, other than Rogue One). After seeing the trailer last week for the new film, it got…

    The other new series from Brian Wood is Black Road – the first issue came out this month – and I’m also enjoying it immensely. It feels like a follow-up to Northlanders – the viking setting is similar – but this time in the guises of what appears to be a mystery story. It’s hard…

    I’ve enjoyed the work of Brian Wood ever since Channel Zero, and have followed him through pretty much his entire career. After the terrific Northlanders and DMZ though, I did find The Massive to be a bit less interesting to me (even though I read all of it, but I skipped the new mini-series that…

    The only anime series I’m watching in this current season is Joker Game (I don’t count AJIN, since that aired in Japan earlier this year), and two episodes in, I’m really enjoying it. It revolves around a governmental spy agency in 1937 Japan, and those first 2 episodes (a story arc told in 2 parts)…

    It took me until now (finished it the other night) to watch all of season 2 of Daredevil, which pretty much tells you how I felt about it. I was a big fan of the first season, but it was pretty much because it centered on the fantastic portrayal of the Kingpin. Here, the only…

    I’ll start off by saying that I never really watched the Avatar series that proceeded this – I actually tried quite a few years ago, sampling the first couple of episodes, but I just wasn’t into it. I have a hard time with shows/movies from the west that rely heavily on Asian influences, as it…

  • Godzilla

    Finally got around to finishing this – I say finish because I actually started watching it a year ago, and then just kinda stopped 15-20 minutes in, at the point where the family stuff is happening. I really get so bored with family stuff in big action/disaster flicks, just get on with the destruction already.…

    I recently started watching this original Netflix series – I think there’s already two seasons out – and wow, this is just so damn good. Sure, I remember those old “Peabody’s Improbably History” shorts from when I was a kid, and wasn’t particularly a huge fan, but I’m just absolutely in love with the animation style…

  • Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Season 2)

    I’m about halfway through this new season, and so far it’s just as good as the first one, dammit. God I love this show and these characters, and the quick fire pacing, and the jokes, and the everything (and yeah, that opening theme song still just the best). In the first episode, I also loved…

  • Bridge of Spies

    This movie is so infuriating. Don’t get me wrong, it’s really good, and I did enjoy watching it, but the portrayal of the US government in the dealings with the “spy” are so frustrating to see. We all expect this sort of thing to happen (turning a blind eye to legalities when it doesn’t suit the…
