[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Sequels coming out of Hollywood are a terribly mixed bag, with most falling far short of their original installment Far more rare than a well-made sequel is a well-made third entry into a series (Rise of the Machines, Alien 3, Superman 3, Iron Man 3, just to name a few) 20th Century Fox has[...]

I got their t-shirts for June Gamer selection in the mail, tried them on, and now I'm ready to review them. The first one out of the box was the PlayStation t-shirt This is as simplistic and cool as you can get You got all four colored buttons that everyone has been familiar with for over[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Punisher #13 by Becky Cloonan, Kris Anka and Matt Wilson is a self-contained tale that contains a surprising amount of heart and also relatively bloodless for a Punisher story Which for me is a good thing. Let me be straight-up here: I hate the Punisher The whole concept of the character bugs me That's not[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I think we all feel a little nostalgia towards a simpler time in comics, when men wore little more than loincloths and oversized weapons, and every woman was a witch bent on seducing and destroying each mortal she came across. What, no? Just me?   Well, you should read Kull Eternal anyway[...]

So I was stoked when the opportunity came up to review a brand new chair from an awesome company like noblechairs They sent me a brand new chair for review, so I cracked my bones and give this beauty a test. This particular chair is from their EPIC Series, this one being a black and green[...]

I tend to cut first episodes a little more slack by remembering The Walking Dead: I think that show has some of the best writing and acting on television right now…but that first episode? In fact, the first few episodes? A little more painful to go back and watch now. So from that standpoint, The Mist's[...]

Dear Esther was this beautiful exploration game that came out way back in 2012 for PC and later for consoles in 2016. The artwork in the game was stunning

Netflix's new series "GLOW" (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) is a goshdarn delight of a binge worthy show. Also, it's kind of like X-Men.

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] All-New Guardians of the Galaxy #4 (seriously, shouldn't there be a word limit on titles, adding All New just seems to make this title rather unwieldy) continues the fun new direction from new creative team of Gerry Duggan and Aaron Kuder (with wonderful colours from Ive Svorcina). What is particularly of interest in this run[...]

We got an opportunity to start receiving these boxes for review, so to start us off, the company sent us the June box right away Let's crack it open and see what they had to offer this month. The first item that caught my eye right out of the gate was this tall box from Marvel[...]

We recently received a few video game soundtracks from Black Screen Records for review, and included in their shipment was the latest from LudoWic titled Elka Village It may not be a gaming soundtrack, but it's electronica from a guy creating music for soundtracks, and we're not passing up a chance to check out new music. Touching[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] You may know from a couple times I may have mentioned it on here, I'm kinda a big fan of Generation X, the classic Scott Lobdell and Chris Bachalo created series that basically got me into comics. And so when as part of ResurrXion, Marvel announced a new Generation X, by Christina Strain and Amilcar[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Transformers: The Last Knight is nothing more than an incoherent mess of a movie, with a plot that makes no sense and action scenes so all over the place you can't follow them. Director: Michael Bay Summary: Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone The key to saving our future lies buried in[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] All Star Batman #11 continues the latest Scott Snyder Bat-story with the interesting notion that is rarely explored in depth in Batman's history: the history of life-long put-upon butler and ally Alfred Pennyworth.

We got ourselves a pair of red headsets to play with for review. First and foremost, the design is interesting It isn't as bulky as I normally expect professional gaming headsets to be, but it still had a little bit of bulk to it simply for the tech and the cans The outer shells have been[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Going into the screening, I'd done my best to avoid other picking up too much on other writer's impressions about 47 Meters Down, but I couldn't help but notice various headlines equating it to Steven Spielberg's classic film Jaws After having seen the latest installment in the humans-as-sharkbait genre of films, I am going[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] So at this point Cars has been one of the cash cows for Pixar and for parent company Disney It's ironic given that of all of the Pixar entries, Cars isn't really among it's best works (you'll have to go back to Up, WALL-E, and Toy Story for the real gems) To that end, Cars[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Ok, stop me if you've heard this one: a group of guys or gals is out to celebrate a last night of freedom for one of them before they get married/go off to college/retire/whatever, they drink too much and/or do some drugs, and various misadventures ensue So to that end, Rough Night is hardly[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] 47 Meters Down wants to be another awesome shark movie for the summer but dumb characters and a lack of sharks means this one has jump scares and nothing more Director: Johannes Roberts Summary: Two sisters vacationing in Mexico are trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean With less than[...]
