“So,” Private Tallem Leuvis said, leaning over in his seat to whisper. “What do you think he’s going to be like?” Private Alesov Ridely blinked, startled into alertness. He’d been on the brink of falling asleep before Tallem’s sudden interruption, the result of a late-night graduation celebration (or party) that went on a little long.... Continue Reading →
SoC&C: The Baron and the Princess
“You know, there are few things more risky in life than trying to making a name for yourself in the world of the Gifted.” The figure in the beautiful ornate mask said, as he gently poured steaming liquid into his cup. “After all, when there’s every chance that your next opponent has abilities beyond your...

Batman vs Superman vs Me: Bonus Extended Edition Round (Part 6/5)
Author's note: Wrote this addition to the BvS review back when the Extended Edition first came out on DVD. So it's still a bit dated, albeit not quite as much as the original review. Well, the Extended Cut for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice is starting to make the rounds on the interwebs.... Continue Reading →
Batman vs Superman vs Me: All Bad Things Must Come to an End (Part 5/5)
All right, we're finally here. At the final part of this movie. It's taken probably more time and effort than it was worth, but it's been a fun ride. Significantly more fun that the movie itself, ironically. Speaking of 'more fun', I watched the Supergirl/Flash crossover episode 'World's Finest' last night and loved it. (2018 edit: Because this...

Batman vs Superman vs Me: Greatest Criminal Mind of Our Time (Part 4/5)
Okay, we're finally moving into the final act of this turd. Only one more part left after this one. And yet there's still so much crap left to cover. -- -- -- -- -- -- Spoiler Warning (Obviously) Now, before we get really into this part, let's play the catch-up game again on some of the...

Batman vs Superman vs Me: I Miss Deadpool (Part 3/5)
Up to Part 3 now and boy is this one a doozy. If Part 2 had me at my most calm and analytic, this part has me at my most raging and infuriated. Because this part covers what, for me, is probably the worst moment in the movie. And I'm pretty sure it won't be... Continue Reading →
Batman vs Superman vs Me: Dawn of Pointless Tangents (Part 2/5)
Aaand we're back. Buckle in, folks. Here's Part 2. Maybe this time we'll make it out of Act 1 alive. Let's get right in. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Spoiler Warning (Obviously) So back with the escaped mental patient currently wearing Lex Luthor's face, Senator Finch visits him at his home for the...

Batman vs Superman vs Me: An Overly Detailed Review (Part 1/5)
Author's Note: This review was originally written back in 2016, not long after Batman v Superman originally came out. While my ultimate thoughts on the movie haven't really changed all that much, a few details are probably a touch out of date (particularly my speculation on the then-unreleased Justice League movie), or received some acknowledge...

SoC&C: The Black Cowl Rises
The Kingdom of Dawnshire: 237 AG For as long as they could remember, the citizens of the tiny village of Peargrove had always been warned to be wary of cloudy weather. Now, to be clear, this wasn't out of any concern for the weather itself. Dawnshire, the kingdom in which Peargrove was situated, was actually... Continue Reading →
Film Reviews: The Predator (2018)
Warning: This review contains SPOILERS. Boy... this was kind of a disappointment. And really not in the ways that I was expecting. Okay, for anyone who doesn't know, I'm a pretty damn big Shane Black fan. I love his characters, his quick-witted dialogue, his plots, his strange obsession with Christmas, everything. Kiss Kiss Bang... Continue Reading →
