Welcome to Indy Comics Spotlight, where every month I’ll be presenting a different independent comic title, as well as artists and writers that are well worth the time to look into if you’re not already familiar with them. Up for our first spotlight is Fist of Justice created by Ed Dukeshire and Mike Imboden. This is a superhero title available through...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes doesn’t play by the damn dirty rules of Hollywood blockbuster sequels. While I currently prefer its predecessor, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn may yet supplant it, as it is the type of movie that demands mulling over, which is already one way it sets itself apart. It is also...

Sometimes a story is just too good to screw up. The music of The Four Seasons is of the variety that you can’t help but sing along and tap your feet to it, and their backstage drama is of the sort that inspired intense loyalty and profound resentment in equal measure. Jersey Boys is a loud, boisterous...

On July 10th, Mansfield Massachusetts was invaded by tens of thousands of dyed hair, pierced out, pot smoking music lovers for the annual Vans Warped Tour music festival…and it was awesome. With 11 stages set up and over 100 musical acts performing throughout the day, Warped Tour certainly was a sight to behold. There was something for everyone at...

When I found out that this is considered JRPGJuly, I knew that I had to do this Top 8 post, though I’m just considering RPGs as a whole, not the subset of JRPGs. The definition of an RPG varies from person to person. In the very broadest sense, Super Mario Brothers could be considered an RPG (you are playing...

Deliver Us From Evil repeats - less successfully – the beats of many possession movies that have preceded it. But that’s not what I really want to talk about. Director Scott Derrickson has proven himself capable of effective scares before, particularly with 2012′s disturbingly grisly Sinister, and Deliver Us would certainly have been better if it had...

There is some interesting news coming out of the New England Patriots camp today. ProFootBallTalk.com reported today that Prosecutors in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial turned over a treasure trove of information to the defense. “Prosecutors also turned over 33 pages of text messages between Belichick and Hernandez between February 2013 and May 2013, the four months leading up...

Many moons ago, in the mid 1990′s, my brother and I were looking through the video games at Wal-Mart, as we always did when at Wal-Mart. In that day and age, they weren’t locked away behind glass cases, so we could pick up the cases and look them over. Between us, we had about $25 or so and noticed...
