“Kirk…Mr. Lolley…He’s So Demanding!” Yes, I’m absolutely aware that the above quote is from 1985’s Teen Wolf. I’m also aware of the fact that some of you are probably scratching your heads as to why I’m quoting that film and not Captain America (1990), the film that is the subject of this post. Well, IContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Captain America (1990)”

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023)
“Miles, being Spider-Man is a sacrifice.” 2018’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse set the bar extremely high for any and every Spider-Man film that would follow it. That movie is, at least in my opinion, the best Spider-Man movie ever made. When I finally had the chance to see Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, my expectations wereContinue reading “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse (2023)”

Marvel Legends Series: Marvel’s Katy
Hopefully this review isn’t too “Awk” ward, cough, cough…… I happened to be strolling the aisles of my local Target the other day when I noticed that the Marvel Legends Series Shang-Chi figures were on clearance. Having collected all of the figures in the Build-A-Figure line from the film (all of which I reviewed inContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Marvel’s Katy”
Those Basic Figures….
When you need to be rescued in the checkout lane…. Hasbro, Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney know just how to market toys to children and their parents. Some parents plunk down ten to twenty bucks for a hunk of plastic that won’t receive more than ten minutes of attention from a kid. More frugal parentsContinue reading “Those Basic Figures….”

A sister with flying fists! I don’t know very much about Xialing or how exactly she will impact the story in the upcoming Marvel release, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but I do look forward to seeing her come to life on the big screen. She’s Shang-Chi’s sister and will be portrayedContinue reading “Marvel Legends Series: Xialing”
