Mark Millar’s Nemesis: The Villain that deserves a movie

Villains are the interesting characters. I have often hoped for the villain to win ever since I was a child. They have the great plans. They make the stories move. They give the “real” protagonists something to overcome and fight against. Without villains most stories would not even exist. This is especially true in comics. Nemesis was suggested to me by someone who knows what … Continue reading Mark Millar’s Nemesis: The Villain that deserves a movie

The Walking Dead: The Episode We Deserved

Obviously some episodes have been worse than others but this season has been a roller coaster ride. They teased us with some zombie hoardes and new sickness but the action has been much slower than in the previous seasons. I feel like the story is finally moving forward. Carol , Judith, and Herschel are gone and they have FINALLY left the safety of the prison. … Continue reading The Walking Dead: The Episode We Deserved

The Emo side of Scifi and Fantasy: Catching the feels

I avoid emotional, tear-jerker movies and TV shows worse than a germaphobe (mysophobia) sidesteps snotty nosed kids at the height of flu season. I have always treated my media watching experience as an action-fueled thrill ride tinged with comedic bumps along the way. However, I have been presented with the opportunity to make a change. To actually explore how the other side experiences movies: to … Continue reading The Emo side of Scifi and Fantasy: Catching the feels

The Top Black Couples in Scifi and Fantasy Movies

Many Scifi and Fantasy movies feature Black leads and supporting actors but few actually have a Black couple as a focal point of the media. I am not sure why this trend is one that has persisted. There have been examples where a Scifi movie can be successful when a Black couple is featured but unfortunately the romantic relationship between Black couples is still not … Continue reading The Top Black Couples in Scifi and Fantasy Movies

Sleepy Hollow’s Abbie should be replaced by Jenny

Sleepy Hollow has the potential to be Fall 2013’s breakout hit sensation. It has already been renewed for a second season and has drawn in a large audience but it has flaws. It’s greatest flaw falls into the casting of Nicole Beharie as Abbie. The show is anchored around Ichabod and Abbie and there is absolutely no chemistry between these two characters.  Abbie is a boring … Continue reading Sleepy Hollow’s Abbie should be replaced by Jenny
