Cosplay Break: The d’Arda Sisters
Remi and Noelle I met the d’Arda Sisters at the Houston Con back in 2014. Not only were their costumes amazing, this dynamic duo was friendly as well, chatting with myself and others working booths in that section of the convention. I haven’t had a chance to see them at a convention since that timeContinue reading “Cosplay Break: The d’Arda Sisters”
Mega Construx MOTU Set: Panthor At Point Dread
“Why Do I Surround Myself With Fools?” Mega Construx outdid themselves with the Panthor At Point Dread set. At five hundred and fifty seven pieces (many of which are very small), this was a fun and challenging set to put together. It comes with three figures: Zodac, Sorceress, and Battle Armor Skeletor. Also included areContinue reading “Mega Construx MOTU Set: Panthor At Point Dread”

Let’s Get Venomized! The third season of Disney/Marvel’s popular Disney XD series Spider-Man was dubbed Maximum Venom and focuses on the Klyntar invasion of Earth and how they overtake a number of Earth’s heroes in the process.

Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)
“Sanguine”-trification! Using vampires as a metaphor for gentrification is a great idea. When injected into the right kind of film, be it a straight horror film or a blended horror/comedy, it has the potential to not only educate but entertain. In Netflix’s Vampires Vs. The Bronx, the idea is definitely present, but the film strugglesContinue reading “Vampires Vs. The Bronx (2020)”
Focus On: Yakima Canutt
A real cowboy stunts his way to success. Stuntmen and women rarely get recognized for their amazing work in film and on television.
