1995 When Iron Man got the MCU ball rolling over ten years ago, it was the first and last big risk that Marvel took on the big screen. Since that time, the films have been released at calculated times with specific intent and they’ve all been financially profitable. While characters such as Captain America andContinue reading “Marvel At This?”

Doom Patrol Episode #3
Puppet Patrol If the first two episodes of Doom Patrol taught us anything, it’s that the show has absolutely no problem with the bizarre.

Episode #3, Puppet Patrol, cranks up the bizarre about fifteen notches and holds nothing back…..and still managesContinue reading “Doom Patrol Episode #3”

They Shall Not Grow Old
A Look Into The Life Of A Soldier I recently witnessed the documentary They Shall Not Grow Old with a friend at my local movie theater.

I prefer to watch documentaries on PBS, National Geographic, orContinue reading “They Shall Not Grow Old”
Doom Patrol Episode #1
Streaming On DC Universe Can an unlikely team of misfits save the DC Universe? Possibly. Depending on who you talk to (including tons of rumor mill websites that get most information incorrect), the young streaming service is either struggling to find an audience or winning over new viewers every day. I’m one of those newContinue reading “Doom Patrol Episode #1”
