I'm sure you've at least heard of Frieren by now. It's taken the world by storm and is many anime aficionados' favorite series of all time. While it's only in my top 5 and not three, Frieren does live up to the hype. The pacing is perfect for what's on screen. Demons are actually evil and not just an analogy for humans. They are monsters who only speak to deceive humans. Brilliant introduction... » Continue Reading

A faked mars landing movie is a wild premise in and of itself. It's one of the early examples of this concept in Hollywood and OJ Simpson is one of the astronauts. The story handles the reasons for faking a landing, the internal conflict among the astronauts and support staff along with how this afflicts everyone involved. This movie contains one of the few positive depictions of a journalist th... » Continue Reading

I liked Darkman a lot, especially the opening action sequence and the first few appearances of the villain. Sadly, the main character's lair in a condemned factory makes no sense in that he has no money and both he and his work require it. Put in a short clip of selling scrap and it's an even better movie than it already is. » Continue Reading

Red Son is fine overall. They made Wonder Woman a feminist, everyone is preachy and we have my favorite Lex Luthor [I've seen/read around 4 of them]. I'm told the comics are far better so I'll eventually get to them. As much as Wonder Woman annoyed me I kind of wanted to see Themiscyra instead of just hearing about it. Show instead of tell, indeed. Wonder Woman is a lesbian and Superman is disi... » Continue Reading

I read through The Rocketeer: The Complete Adventures collection last year and thought very little of it. Cliff is much more of a wimp than in the film despite being a daring stunt pilot. His girlfriend Betty is modeled after Bettie Page the iconic pinup girl and poses nude often for her publicist, a pornographer named Marcus, during the adventures the comic covers. In fact, her pursuit of a mod... » Continue Reading

Neuromancer has influenced a number of works on the grittier side of sci-fi and some of how the internet has turned out. Despite machines and cyberspace being a major part of this story, Gibson writes humans exceedingly well and describes a future he envisions in a way anyone could imagine. Strong content warning. Prepare to have the future revealed in excruciatingly high definition imagination. » Continue Reading

The Man in the High Castle is an interesting work given how many perspectives you can see in it and how the narratives are woven together but ultimately does not stand out. Read it if you want but it's too lackluster to recommend for its required timesink. PKD's short stories are more worthwhile. » Continue Reading

Rough Riders (1993) expands half a page in your textbook that catalogues the rise of Theodore Roosevelt into over two hours of well-shot and scripted scenes that really flesh out this time in history from the U.S. perspective across several characters. Strongly recommend. » Continue Reading

Shutter Island (2010) is well made but my first watchthrough was more a hunt for the minute details than a movie experience to enjoy. Definitely worth a watch. Don't pause it every few minutes like my friends and I did though. » Continue Reading

While at a comic shop I was recommended the new Ultimates storyline from Marvel. I've now read the first 6 issues of both Ultimate Spiderman and Ultimate Black Panther. Ultimate Spiderman is definitely written better. The premise of this new 'Ultimate' run is that a majority of heroes in this timeline are prevented from gaining their powers by a small but powerful ruling elite which has framed T... » Continue Reading

Started a show from 1990 to 1995 called Northern Exposure. I'm partway through the first season of hour-long episodes but I'm noticing a trend. The second episode had a subplot involving 'insulting' [informing a radio audience of the perversions of] a poet named Walt Whitman. Something to the effect of 'we need heroes so we shouldn't make their faults known' became the 'moral' of the story. Th... » Continue Reading
