What’s This? I apologize for posting two Tim Burton related Throwback Thursday topics in a row, but with Halloween right around the corner, you really can’t blame me. Also, The Nightmare Before Christmas celebrates its twenty fifth anniversary on October 29th of this year, so it’s a perfect time to highlight this wonderful classic. ForContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)”

Tunes: Vixen Is Back!
The late 1980’s Vixen first rose to fame in the late 80’s with their self-titled debut album that featured the hits Edge of a Broken Heart and Cryin. They followed up that album with Rev It Up. Despite a solid track list that included How Much Love and Love is a Killer, the album failedContinue reading “Tunes: Vixen Is Back!”
Please, Call Her Miss Shaw!
On The Lakefront You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about the soulful, country-dipped, rock n’ roll blended, New Orleans bluesy sound of Amanda Shaw on a blog called Ken’s Alternate Universe. Well, in all honesty it’s because I like Miss Shaw’s work. Plus, she and I both call Louisiana home and I never hesitate toContinue reading “Please, Call Her Miss Shaw!”
Stuff And Thangs
It’s Almost Here! In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to apply for a press pass for CyPhaCon in Lake Charles, LA. I did so on that very same day and I am happy to say that I was approved! If you are attending CyPhaCon, let me know in the comments! IContinue reading “Stuff And Thangs”
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”
Shining “Bright”
Orcs and Elves and Fairies, Oh My! Veteran LAPD officer Daryl Ward (Will Smith) is forced to partner up with the first Orc officer in the country, Nick Jakoby (the completely unrecognizable Joel Edgerton), and ends up taking on a Dark Elf and some bad cops in Netflix’s most expensive original film to date, Bright.Continue reading “Shining “Bright””
Justice For All!
Mother Boxing The Critics I saw Justice League on its opening weekend. I waited for over a week to put my thoughts on the film in a post for a few reasons. For one, I wanted to see what others thought about the film first. I knew how I felt, but opinions seemed to beContinue reading “Justice For All!”
Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!
Inspired by Washington Irving With direction by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman, gorgeous sets, and an amazing cast, it’s easy to see why 1999’s Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite films. I watch it multiple times each year (especially around Halloween and, for some odd reason, Christmas) and I never get tired ofContinue reading “Heads Rolled On Day O’Horror #10!”
Arts And “The Craft”: Days O’Horror #8!
California, 1996 The 1990’s were an excellent time for me. I graduated from high school and college during the decade, listened to multiple one-hit wonder bands, and got to see films like The Quick and the Dead, Empire Records, Interview With The Vampire, Mortal Kombat, what seemed like a ton of Jennifer Aniston films inContinue reading “Arts And “The Craft”: Days O’Horror #8!”
Swinging Into The MCU
Spinning A Web When it was first announced that Sony and Marvel had come to an agreement to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, geeks like myself rejoiced. I personally enjoyed both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as everyone’s favorite wall crawler, but Sony flubbed Maguire’s run with a terrible third film (ya know,Continue reading “Swinging Into The MCU”
