A couple of weeks ago I excitedly told my aunt that I was going to Comic Con in a week, with a big ol’ smile on my face. I didn’t really expect her to be jealous, but I was overly excited. Then she asked if it was a gathering of comics or something. As in […]
Read more "Comic-Con International 2010 – My Experience in Nerd Heaven"If you have been watching the news lately then you have probably heard something about all of the Russian spies who are being discovered living in the US like normal people.

Read more "Suggestion Box (July 12 – 18)"I remember reading something once when I was younger about the possibility of being able to control what happens in your dreams.

Read more "Now Playing Review – Inception"When I originally heard that Disney was planning on making a feature length film based on the segment from the 1940s film Fantasia I was a little skeptical.

Read more "Suggestion Box (July 5 – 11)"A few years back a couple of my friends and I took a trip to our respective hometowns, and upon arriving in Iowa I made the mistake of saying that it smelled like poo, to which I got an immediate retort full of aggression. You may not guess it based on the stagnate setting, but […]
Read more "Rental Review – The Crazies (2010)"Movies: Let Me In International Trailer – Many of you might remember that a couple years ago a Swedish film titled Let the Right One In was released, based on the vampire novel of the same name.
