Review: ‘Secrets In Scarlet: An Arkham Horror Novel’

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

Review: ‘Stargirl: Frenemies’- “The Evidence” (S3 Ep4)

Greetings 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

Review: ‘Andor’ Three-Episode Premiere

It’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.

Review: ‘Quantum Leap’ Series Premiere

The 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

Book Review: Anne Rice’s ‘Interview With The Vampire’

This 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

Revisiting Karl Urban’s ‘Dredd’ on its 10th Anniversary

The 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

How David Tennant’s Return in ‘Doctor Who’ Could Work

I think it’s safe to say that a large chunk of the Doctor Who fanbase is excited to see David Tennant and Catherine Tate return to the sci-fi show, which is entering its sixtieth year. Tennant played The Doctor across three seasons and an additional collection of specials between 2005 and 2010, while Tate played fan-favorite Donna Noble in the final
