Wreck-It Ralph Review

Wreck-It Ralph Review

It has been quite the weak year for animated features.  Brave didn’t please audiences as much as other Pixar films, and the stupid Madagascar films continued to bore adults.  But then comes along Wreck-It Ralph, a movie in the vein of Shrek, where the adult and child love the movie. Ralph is a very simple movie at heart, but [...]

Comic Book Therapy Reviews: Anthony Bourdain’s Get Jiro!

Yes, you read that correctly. No, you aren’t in a coma. Anthony Bourdain really has written a graphic novel! Celebrity chef and host of a highly watchable mildly disrespectful travel show, the bold, divisive Anthony Bourdain can now add another epithet to his resume: graphic novelist.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Returns

Avatar: The Last Airbender Returns

When the live action movie came out, I lost hope of Avatar ever returning. The movie was so horrible and so damaging to the reputation of the initial television series that I feared I would never see any of my beloved characters ever again. That was until I got a sneak peek at the Avatar: The Last Airbender comic book.
