LOGAN Review: Wolverine Finally Goes Berserker

Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine in LOGAN. Photo Credit: Ben Rothstein. With so many variations of Wolverine over the past years, for me it felt difficult for Hugh Jackman to find his footing for the character. It often felt with each X-Men solo movie he would play a different version of Logan depending on the situation. The character of Logan never really explored his built up anger, frustrations…

Dead Inside: "A Rock in the Road" Recap - The Dead Have New Life

courtesy AMC Networks The first half of the season started with a bang, or a bat if you will, only to be followed by seven rather slow episodes that introduced important characters and settings, yet lacked the pacing and excitement of a tense conflict which, in previous seasons, would leave me impatient for the next week’s episode. Thus, the question I had going into episode 9 of season seven,…

John Wick Chapter 2 Review: A Symphony of Brutality

Image Courtesy of Lionsgate Entertainment Back in 2014, a surprise hit action movie came out that took action movie lovers by storm.

Dead Inside: "The Alien", or O Brother Where Art Thou

courtesy Image comics If you are missing your weekly Walking Dead fix waiting for the mid season break to end, I have a fun recommendation for you while you wait: The Walking Dead: The Alien. Granted, this 28 page one-off comic is not much to tide you over, but it is a fun little story that we are not likely to see adapted for television (although I wish it would).

Netflix's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Review: A Series of Interesting Choices

Courtesy Netflix Inc. I am sad to say that Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events does not hit the mark 100%. As far as adaptations of books and video games go, in my opinion, most do not do their predecessors justice; however the outcomes are subjective in the eyes of viewers. In the words of Lemony Snicket, if you wish to read about something filled with happiness, with a better ending this…
