Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)
“I sabotaged your plane.” 2004’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow didn’t grab my attention when it was first released. I thought that the look of the film in the movie trailer was cool but felt that it was going to be just another “style over substance” flick using CGI, big name actors, andContinue reading “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)”

Marvel Legends Series: Death Dealer
Who is the mysterious Death Dealer? Marvel has definitely stirred up quite a bit of interest in its upcoming film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, by injecting the mysterious Death Dealer into the film’s first full-length trailer.

Classic Horror: The Vampire (1957)
“I got plenty of reasons, Willy. Three deaths in three days.” With the rise of the Atomic Age in the 1940’s, classic monsters such as vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein’s monster gave way to giant monster films such as Godzilla, Them, The Blob, and Robot Monster in the 1950’s. The 50’s also gave us sci-fi horrorContinue reading “Classic Horror: The Vampire (1957)”

Will the real Mandarin please stand up? Apparently Wenwu will be revealed as the real Mandarin in the upcoming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings film. Marvel has teased us with Mandarin hints, winks, and nods across all of the MCU so far, so it will be interesting to see if we finallyContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Wenwu”
Marvel Legends Series: Xialing
A sister with flying fists! I don’t know very much about Xialing or how exactly she will impact the story in the upcoming Marvel release, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but I do look forward to seeing her come to life on the big screen. She’s Shang-Chi’s sister and will be portrayedContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Xialing”

“You are doomed!” NECA has outdone themselves. Long known for making beautiful action figures, NECA’s Defenders of the Earth line has been visually brilliant so far. There’s no better example of their beautiful work than this wonderful Ming The Merciless figure. This figure is bursting with details and vivid coloring. My phone photos cannot doContinue reading “NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Ming The Merciless”
Marvel Legends Tony Stark A.I. and Gamer Verse Civil Warrior
The Brain and the Heart I decided to do a twofer review of the Marvel Legends Iron Man Tony Stark (A.I.) and the Gamer Verse Civil Warrior for a couple of reasons. For starters, Civil Warrior creates his armor with the wreckage of a fallen Tony Stark in an alternate reality where the two facedContinue reading “Marvel Legends Tony Stark A.I. and Gamer Verse Civil Warrior”
Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)
“The Black Fortress…where does it rise?“ My relationship with the 1983 film Krull is an odd one. I didn’t actually see the film when it was first released in theaters but my parents bought me the Atari 2600 game that tied into the film because I was enthralled with the movie. I also had aContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Krull (1983)”
