The End Of Louisiana Comic Con

The End Of An Era Earlier this week I was blindsided by some sad news. A post from the official Louisiana Comic Con page popped up in which an announcement was made that there would not be an event in 2027. The post also mentioned that the convention director would be retiring from doing venueContinue reading “The End Of Louisiana Comic Con”

Masters Of The Universe (2026)

“They call me a devil, but I mean to be a god.” I love this movie. I could stop right there, but there’s so much more to talk about when it comes to 2026’s Masters Of The Universe. As a child of the 80s, I had more than my fair share of Masters of theContinue reading “Masters Of The Universe (2026)”

A Nerd Turns Fifty

“The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson I turned fifty years old this month. Despite being that old, I still don’t really feel like an adult. Sure, I have to do “old guy” things like go to the doctor more often, pay a ton of bills, and try to navigateContinue reading “A Nerd Turns Fifty”

Fanboys (2009)

“What if the movie sucks?” Fanboys takes us into the wild world of a group of hardcore Star Wars “fanboys” who are intent on helping their dying friend see a rough cut of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace before he passes away. In order to do this, the group has to navigate cross-countryContinue reading “Fanboys (2009)”

Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)

“I am drunk, or you are dead.” Whether you call it Stranger From Venus, The Venusian, or Immediate Disaster, this pleasantly reserved 1954 science fiction drama is an extremely well done film with a direct message that resembles the same message from 1951’s The Day The Earth Stood Still. It features a small but exceptionalContinue reading “Classic Cinema: Stranger From Venus (1954)”

A Strange New Year

Everything Ends I promise that I won’t spoil anything about the series finale of Stranger Things in this post. I still want to give a brief rundown of what I enjoyed about it, however. I thought that the series finale did a great job of bringing the series to a close. Sure, some characters didn’tContinue reading “A Strange New Year”

Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles

Hard to believe that it’s been five years…. While looking through some old posts, this one from December 20, 2020, the year that Hurricane Laura destroyed my family’s home, popped up in my search string. Although today is December 11, I decided to reblog this old post. Maybe it’s because I’m turning fifty next year,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Hurricane Laura And Ninja Turtles”

The Comic Shop (2025)

“It’s never too late to become what you might have been.” While cruising around on Amazon Prime last night, I found a nice little gem entitled The Comic Shop. I was completely unaware of this film, but considering how much I enjoy reading comic books and hanging out at my local comic shop, I decidedContinue reading “The Comic Shop (2025)”
