If you have been following my reviews then you know that I love the Arkham Horror Series from Aconyte. So it was with great anticipation that I sat down to read an advance copy of the latest installment Secrets in Scarlet: An Arkham Horror Novel (during a perfectly timed thunderstorm, no less). While I wasn’t as taken with Secrets in Scarlet as
Read MoreGreetings my fellow Stargirl fans, how is everyone doing after last week’s episode “The Evidence”? Do you feel like you’re any closer to figuring out who killed The Gambler (Eric Goins)? I don’t know about you, but it felt like “The Blackmail” was the beginning of a turning point in this season’s murder mystery. The last scene alone was enough to make
Read MoreIt’s been 6 years since we first met the rebel fighter Cassian Andor, played by Diego Luna, and many fans loved how the character was written. Although Rogue One was a prequel to A New Hope, with the former film ending the story arcs of the Rogue One team, fans still wanted to learn more and dive deeper into the history
Read MoreThe new and improved Quantum Leap premiered earlier this week on NBC, serving not only as a reboot of the classic sci-fi series but a continuation. This is an aspect of the series that I hadn’t quite anticipated, but will probably help draw viewers of the original series to this one. Raymond Lee leads the cast as Dr. Ben Song, with
Read MoreThis is the book that started it all. Nearly 50 years ago Anne Rice penned the tragic tale of Louis, Lestat, and Claudia and rekindled our love for vampires which is still going strong today. Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire was so loved by fans that it kicked off a 15-book series chronicling Louis, Lestat, and their fellow vampires. It
Read MoreThe character of Judge Dredd was created in 1977 by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. There was a previous film adaptation with Sylvester Stallone in 1995, but poor reception and a lackluster box office stomped out any hopes for a potential sequel. That didn’t keep the franchise down forever, and a film starring Karl Urban and directed by Pete Travis was
Read MoreThis past week, Netflix premiered a brand new anime series on their streaming service titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The show is set in the world created by Mike Pondsmith based on the popular RPG Cyberpunk 2077, however, the series acts as a spinoff story, detached from the original game’s events. The 10-episode series was a collaboration between CD Projekt RED & Studio Trigger. [Warning:
Read MoreThe Devourer Below is the second book in the Arkham Horror series from Aconyte books. I reviewed the first one, The Wrath of N’Kai, and absolutely loved it. I was expecting the series to continue the story from the last book so I was surprised to see that The Devourer Below was an anthology. Moreover, it didn’t follow the characters from
Read More29 years ago we were blessed with possibly the best Halloween movie ever, Hocus Pocus. Now there is a sequel coming out on Disney + on September 30 and I can’t wait. Luckily I didn’t have to; well sorta. That’s because a sequel to the original story, Hocus Pocus and The All-New Sequel by A.W. Jantha was released as a novel
Read MoreWith the premiere of Andor on Disney Plus right on the horizon, I thought there was no better time than the present to revisit Gareth Edwards’ 2016 entry into the franchise. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story represents a simultaneously brave and incredibly safe outing. A story that naturally brings to mind the question “why,” but is never brave enough to
Read MoreWelcome back Star-fam to another breakdown of all the action and WTF moments as the latest mystery unfolds in this season of Stargirl. So far we’ve not only uncovered a murder in Blue Valley but have started to compile the list of potential suspects, that is, the Justice Society of America has. However, to whittle down the list, or confirm our
Read MoreThe two-episode premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video, was such a beautiful and epic return to the land of Middle-Earth. Leading up to the show’s arrival, I had tempered my expectations just in case this new chapter in the rich work of J.R.R. Tolkien didn’t measure up to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the
