Star Wars: Vader Down – A Book Review
This is probably the coolest Darth Vader story I’ve ever experienced, and that’s no small statement. The first crossover between Marvel’s Darth Vader and Star Wars comic book series, Vader Down collects the entire tale as Darth Vader crash lands on the Rebel Alliance’s new planetary base. He hunts Luke Skywalker, the boy who humiliated…

Captain America: Civil War – A Movie Review
(Spoiler-free) When it comes to Marvel movies, I am pretty good at remaining objective. DC movies … not so much – I’m a fanboy. I can honestly tell you that if you’re a fan of the super hero genre, it just doesn’t get much better than Captain America: Civil War. This movie absolutely satisfied on…

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – A Movie Review
I should explicitly state from the beginning that I am an unabashed Batman fanatic. I discovered him at the age of three and have loved every incarnation of him during the past thirty-six years. Furthermore, I’ve always leaned toward DC Comics, home of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, etc. With all that being said, I…

Arcadia by Iain Pears – A Book Review

Due to the nature of Deadpool’s meta-fiction characteristics, I had high hopes that his feature film would redefine the comic book film genre and blaze a new trail. I wanted it…

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline – A Book Review
When I heard Steven Spielberg planned to direct a film adaptation of this novel, I knew I had to read it first. The premise is fascinating. The year is 2044, and America has gone completely down the tubes. The recession is in its third decade, there isn’t enough food, there’s not enough housing, there aren’t…

The Martian – A Movie Review
Of course, I have to urge you to read the book by Andy Weir because it is a wonderfully fulfilling read, but this film version starring Matt Damon captured the essence of the book very well. If you’re unfamiliar with the story line, Mark Watney is left behind by his crew mates during a mission…
