“Back off…just back off!” Stephen King has and will always hold a special place in my heart. Every time I read one of his books or watch one of his movies I’m always hit with an image from my childhood: standing in my brother’s room, gazing up...
A new world revealed. For the last couple of months I’ve been on a real nature film kick. Ever since visiting a recently opened aquarium that left me feeling underwhelmed with its unfortunate mediocrity (no fault of the fish, mind you) I’ve been left with a thirst...
“A Monster of Creation’s Dawn Breaks Loose in Our World Today!” Kids loving monsters and dinosaurs is a universal thing. There’s something about a giant creature that can topple buildings and step on people that ignites the fire inside a child’s imagination like nothing else. As a...

“Nobody cares about Clark Kent taking on the Batman.” Oh, Batman v Superman…how great you could have been. I remember when the first, somber trailer came out depicting a world where people were conflicted with the idea of a Super Man; who gave him the authority to...
“My name is Max. My world is Fire and Blood”. If there was one movie from 2015 that would give Star Wars a run for its money in terms of my excitement level, it would be Mad Max: Fury Road. Indeed, if you go back to our...
