It is with deep regret that I report that Russell Means passed away today at the age of 72. Means died from throat cancer, leaving behind a legacy off and on the big screen. He did so much for the Native American people, and played some very memorable roles, especially in “Last of the Mohicans”. Here is an excerpt from […]
This isn’t a huge surprise. CW’s Arrow, based on DC Comic’s emerald archer Green Arrow, was announced today that it was picked up for a whole season. This shouldn’t be a shock, seeing how great the ratings were for the pilot. Of course, with the awful Birds of Prey series still in people’s memories, I guess the show could have […]

It’s that time of the year: Halloween time. Where horror runs rampant, scares are around every corner, and blood runs through your nightmares. Not to anyone’s surprise, we see many horror and thriller projects pop up just in time for the scares, and why not?

With the massive Avengers Vs X-Men having just wrapped up, it seems most Marvel books are feeling the effects of it.

This is a book I have been waiting on, as the premise sounds great […]
The New 52 hasn’t been a really big hit with me, I want to be honest with that right at the beginning. I was picking up Justice League, Aquaman, Batman, Green Lantern, and so on at the beginning. Soon, that changed to only picking up Batman and Animal Man, and eventually I ended up dropping all my DC titles. Yet, […]
