Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)

Red Bank, NJ Today’s Throwback Thursday post is very special.  Why?  Because I’m pretty sure that this is the “youngest” Throwback that I’ve ever posted and because I just so happened to meet one of the stars of this particular series over the weekend (and completely forgot to mention meeting him in my previous post). Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Comic Book Men (2012)”

Throwback Thursday: The Music Of DC Comics (2010, 2016)

The Sound Of Superheroes Founded in 1934, DC Comics has made its mark on the printed page, the small screen, and the big screen.  With its new subscription streaming service, DC Universe, officially underway, the world of heroes such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, has become even more available to anyone with a deviceContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Music Of DC Comics (2010, 2016)”

Throwback Thursday: Man Of Steel (2013)

Five Years And A Few Months Ago It’s hard to believe that it’s only been five years since 2013’s Man Of Steel was released.  So much has happened since the release of that film.  Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, and Justice League have all been released in that time and three moreContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Man Of Steel (2013)”

Teen Titans Go! To The Movies!

Jump City I know that a lot of people (or at least a vocal minority) dislike the Teen Titans Go! animated series on Cartoon Network.  They blame it for destroying the extremely exceptional Teen Titans cartoon and even Young Justice even though I believe that Cartoon Network itself should be blamed for the cancellation ofContinue reading “Teen Titans Go!

DC Impresses At SDCC

Positive Positive is a word that hasn’t been used very much when talking about the DCEU.  With Justice League failing to attract large audiences last year (despite actually being a decent film) and BvS and Suicide Squad underwhelming critics, DC’s lone shining star in recent years at the movies was Wonder Woman.  But news outContinue reading “DC Impresses At SDCC”

Throwback Thursday: Blade

The Daywalker Before Black Panther‘s rise as a significant film in Marvel and cinematic history for its success and cultural impact and before Deadpool was erroneously declared the first R-rated superhero film, 1998’s Blade gave us an African American lead based on a superhero and a strong R-rating (But even Blade wasn’t the first R-ratedContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Blade”

Who Knows….

What Evil Lurks In The Hearts Of Men? Having recently revisited The Rocketeer and The Phantom, two 1990’s films set in the 1930’s, it’s only natural that I also take a look at 1994’s The Shadow, an Alec Baldwin vehicle that had high hopes just like those films did but ultimately fell flat at theContinue reading “Who Knows….”

“The Ghost Who Walks” Revisited

For Those Who Came In Late…. I’ve quietly been a fan of the Phantom since I was a child.  I was never that familiar with the comic strip since it didn’t run in any local papers, but I remember reading the strip every chance that I got whenever we would visit friends and family orContinue reading ““The Ghost Who Walks” Revisited”

Taking Flight

1991 The late 1980’s and early 1990’s were wonderful years for me.  1989 saw me become a teenager and I struggled with and marveled at all of the normal things that happen to a boy around that age.  I was also fully immersed in television, film, music, and books.  My taste in movies leaned heavilyContinue reading “Taking Flight”

Ruling Over The Next MCU Phase

Wakanda As Marvel begins to dig deeper into their vault of heroes to make new films, the major players such as Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk, and Thor are taking a step back so that lesser known heroes such as Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel can take the spotlight.  Marvel did the exact same thing inContinue reading “Ruling Over The Next MCU Phase”
