Neglected Nemeses: Apocalypse
It’s been while since we’ve seen a Neglected Nemeses, but I’m back and this time around I’m highlighting one of the biggest bad-asses in the Marvel Universe; a being that has been the bane of the mighty X-Men on many occasions. The one and only Apocalypse. Few rogues have ever been able to have such [...]
Phoenix Comicon 2013: Esquiville Panel
At Phoenix Comicon 2013, I had the pleasure to catch up with comic book author Eric M. Esquivel (Wiki), we talked about a number of things like being a freelancer writer, writing Freelancers for BOOM! Studios, Topo and Aquaman, school bullies, comic books and so much more. I was caught by surprise when he invited me [...]
Neglected Nemeses: Kingpin
Typically with this series, I try to take on rogues that are a bit more obscure and a bit less obvious, a majority of which have yet to be seen in a big screen production. However, there are a few villains that were either handled so poorly in other films, or just need a revamp, that I [...]

Movies With Mitch: Iron Man 3
Finally Iron Man 3 is here! Let Phase 2 begin! Marvel’s “Iron Man 3″ pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Darkseid
Looking back at Bryan Singer’s take on Superman, one of the glaring faux pas is the lack of Supes hitting things. I think he spent more time being hit than the opposite. One thing fans of the character know is that Superman needs to be hitting things…or people. How about we bring in a character that is ruthless, cold and brutal and would certainly provide for some thrilling action scenes for a film, as well as a character that has yet to be touched outside Warner Brother’s animated series and films?
May the Fourth Be With You? How Cliche!
As I was prepping myself for work this morning, pampering myself with my manly-man products, I heard a promo being run on a local radio station where they were going to give away two front row tickets to the ReAL Salt Lake soccer game this Saturday night. The station gave away the tickets to the [...]

Before Watchmen: The Clock Strikes Midnight
After a year of publication, the clock has struck midnight for the Before Watchmen line of books. Before Watchmen Comedian #6 was released this past week, which officially ended the line. There were rumors that an epilogue issue was going to be released, but DC seems to have swept that rumor under the rug. But [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Harley Quinn
While Batman arguably has some of the best rogues out there, they are also some of the hardest to portray on the big screen in such a way that both does the character justice and makes them believable and relevant. Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy are perfect examples of that. In Batman & Robin, both [...]

“Evil Dead” Review: Breathing Life Into a Classic Franchise
In 1983, Sam Raimi’s cult horror classic, “The Evil Dead” was released. It has gone down as one of the most influential horror films of all time. 30 years later, a remake, “Evil Dead” was released by director Fede Alvarez. Like Raimi, “Evil Dead” serves as the directorial debut of Alvarez. The plot of the [...]
The Neglected Nemeses: Deathstroke
One of the first names that pops up when asked which DC villain needs to be features in a film is Deathstroke, the rogue who has been one of the most popular for the Teen Titans. However, this assassin has also been on the side of “good” when needed. Many will tell you that he is the DC version of Deadpool, or vice-versa, and it is hard to dispute the similarities. In the long run, I think that Deathstroke is a baddie that should be taken a bit more seriously than his Marvel counterpart, as he is a man that has a purpose and nothing will get in his way.
The Hardcore Review: No Clowning Around
Today I review a short film by the former wrestling personality, Rob Dimension. The film, No Clowning Around, the very macabre story of a sad sack clown who performs for children’s parties. Thing is, he’s a drunk and a total screw up. The only light to his otherwise miserable life is the woman he loves. [...]

In this installment of The Neglected Nemeses, we are headed back tot he Marvel Universe and the X-Men mythos, with a villain that is often over-looked as a substantial bad guy.
