Bill Reviews Alien: Covenant – More Horror Than Prometheus, But Less Heart
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] It was a long wait between the '97 Alien: Resurrection and '12's Prometheus There was a huge amount of excitement and anticipation first saw the trailers for that film it was all the polish and elegance that we'd typically come to expect from Director/Producer Ridley Scott What we didn't find, was a return to the[...]
These Zelda Chat Earbuds Look Sweet, But Do They Sound Sweet?
We briefly mentioned yesterday in our review of the Elite Player Backpack that we received some Zelda Chat Earbuds in the mail as well from PDP Simply put, when you're taking the Switch out and about, not everyone wants to listen to you play games So like every portable system Nintendo made before it, you[...]
Feels, Twists But No New Breaks In The Case – Batman #22 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The third part of The Button, the story-line that has been promised to provide the next major steps in the ongoing mystery of Rebirth, Batman #22 performs spectacularly well in some respects, but slightly under-performs in another Heading into this review, beware: there are significant spoilers. . . . . The issue itself is great Tightly written, with a[...]
A Beautiful Garbage Fire – Secret Empire #1 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Should I start with a caveat? I don't know, it feels like maybe I should say? Okay, I'm just gonna say it I have not cared for Nick Spencer's HydraCap plot Not because it is bad structurally, or even necessarily badly written – technically, Spencer has pulled off the reveal and build of this[...]

Starz's New Historical Drama The White Princess Is The Prequel For The Tudors
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While a show title like The White Princess might seem a bit odd, Starz new series is actually about the end of the war of the roses If you remember the red and white Tudor rose that is often used associated with Queen Elizabeth (the first one), it was formed after the wars by the combining[...]
A Good But Tame Start: Weapon X #1 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Greg Land, Jay Leisten and Frank D'Armata Continuing the ResurrXion X-Men relaunch, we have Weapon X from Greg Pak, Greg Land, Jay Leisten and Frank D'Armata I'm generally not overall a fan of the darker, 'team of killers' X-books, but there have been some exceptions I feel this may be one of them. Pak's[...]
At Least There's No Thinly Veiled Hate Speech in This One: X-Men Blue#1 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Art Adams & Peter Steigerwald Well, after the week since the release of X-Men Gold #1 and the controversy that the book and big ResurrXion relaunch found itself mired in, it's easy to see how the other books part of this relaunch could find themselves lost in the kerfuffle. It would be a massive[...]

  [rwp-review-recap id="0"] If your intent is to go see The Fate of the Furious this weekend, there's a good chance that you're no stranger to the franchise You know it's going to be a rather silly, there'll be some cool car chases and stunts, there will be the requisite bootie-angle shots of scantily-clad starting-line women, and little to[...]
'Colossal' Reviewed: Weird, Heavy Handed, But Fascinating To Watch
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] NOTE: this is a repost from a review posted during Sundance 2017 Colossal has a weird concept that might be hard for some but once the movie settles into itself it's quite funny and thought provoking. Director: Nacho Vigalondo Summary: A woman discovers that severe catastrophic events are somehow connected to the mental breakdown from which[...]
The Past Is Prologue: X-Men Gold #1 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover Art by Ardian Syaf, Jay Leisten & Laura Martin Last week may have been the primer, but this week the ResurrXion truly begins ResurrXion is definitely an apt title, given this issues preoccupation about old being new again, and not to mention what seems to be several literal character resurrections in the issue (possibly). But[...]
Consistent, Complete Creative Vision: Star-Lord#5 Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Kris Anka It's kinda interesting that I wound up getting to this review this weekend after everything that's been going on with Marvel's comments coming out of their Retailer Summit, and also a discussion earlier in the week on how rotating artists has the effect of diminishing the importance of an artist in[...]
The X-Men Return To Hope: X-Men Prime Review
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cover by Ardian Syaf With both the X-Men and Inhuman parts of the Marvel Universe coming into ResurrXion after the dark times (for the mutants at least) of Inhumans vs X-Men, Marvel's decision to prime the audience for what's to come with the aptly named Prime issues for both parties seemed a pretty good one[...]
'Old Time Hockey' Is A Lovely But Difficult Throwback
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I love Slap Shot! It's a gritty film that shows in a comical sense what it was like in the minor leagues during the '60s and '70s of hockey, and it includes the violence you'd often see and men talked garbage to each other a lot more than today just to pick fights and[...]
