    This movie had no right to be as good as I thought it was – considering all the changes that happened behind-the-scenes during the making of it. But yes, not only was this a hell of a fun ride, I think itā€™s my favorite Marvel movie since the first Iron Man. I watch all of…

  • Ash vs Evil Dead

    I love Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness so damn much, and I was beyond excited at the idea of getting a TV series that follows that, with good olā€™ Bruce as Ash, and Sam Raimi on board as well (and even directing the pilot). The first episode was pretty much everything I was…

  • Spectre

    I know Spectre has gotten some fairly negative reviews, and I absolutely disagree with them. Itā€™s no secret that Iā€™m a huge Bond fanatic – Iā€™ve owned the entire series on VHS, DVD, and now Blu-ray – and to me, even more than Skyfall, this felt like a true celebration ofĀ ā€œBond,ā€ and one that would…

    Yes, I am indeed caught up in the hype leading up to next monthā€™s release of The Force Awakens (I quite enjoyed cover features in both Entertainment Weekly and Wired), and so have decided to re-watch the original trilogy – I may re-watch the prequels as well, but Iā€™m still not sure if thatā€™s a…

    All I know of John Mulaney is that he was a writer on SNL (and was responsible for the Stefon bits) and that after he left that show he had a short-lived sitcom that wasnā€™t considered very good, but Iā€™d heard good things about his new Netflix comedy special, The Comeback Kid, and so decided…

  • /W Bob and David

    Even though I never watched it back in the day, I know that Mr. Show is considered a true classic of comedy, and so was pretty excited to see this new follow-up series on Netflix – especially since I really do love both Bob and David in whatever I have seen them in. But after…

  • Master of None

    This is absolutely one of the best series to come out of Netflix. Even though I quite like Aziz Ansari (I loved Parks and Recreation), I wasnā€™t necessarily sold on his new series from the get-go, and wasnā€™t even really feeling it while watching the first episode. But by episode 2 I was in, and…

    This past Friday I got the new Apple TV, and the day after the Nimbus controller that wirelessly syncs with it (over Bluetooth). Iā€™m having a blast. Iā€™ll start by saying that Iā€™m a longtime and very strong user of Apple TV. Itā€™s now turned into a pretty successful product for Apple, but I was…

    If Tokyo Design Week takes place and youā€™re not there, does it really take place? Apologies for the ridiculous statement, but as this yearā€™s edition of Tokyo Design Week kicks off, it indeed feels incredibly strange to see it happen from afar. Even though in recent years Iā€™d grown a bit disillusioned with a lot…

    Efficiency in Japan is no joke. I recently shared thisĀ animated GIFĀ on Twitter/Facebook ā€“ first shared by my buddy Joseph ā€“ and though itā€™s a really funny skit (featuring the one and only comedian/TV host Tamori-san) it really did strike a chord with me. I make no secret that Iā€™m missing a hell of a lot…
