I recently had the opportunity to attend Wizard World Chicago. Instead of giving a blow by blow of the con, I wanted direct my focus of the weekend on meeting one of my icons. Growing up, one of the first real heroines I saw on screen was Kristy Swanson in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” the story […]
While waiting for the “Batman V. Superman” panel at San Diego Comic Con, the audience got their first glimpse of Henry Cavill on stage for “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” panel. While looking at Henry isn’t a bad deal (nor is looking at Armie Hammer), I wasn’t exactly excited about the panel, or hearing about the […]
Tonight, in spite of hearing poor reviews about “Fantastic 4,” I paid my money and went to the show. I have to say… I liked it. Oh sure, the alternate dimension set could have had a bit more “oomf” put into it, or you know, money with the CGI, but the story itself was solid. […]

Going into this film, I had the idea in my head that the magic from the first film would be impossible to capture [ever again]. And I was right. But, even though I was totally right, it doesn’t mean that this film was bad. In fact, it was great. It ended up being like, a […]
Note: Sorry for the delay. I wrote one version and it got accidentally deleted, so I had to start all over. Maybe this one turned out for the best. Mild anxiety attack. Didn’t know he had been doing autos first, so I got in line for the photos early. First dozen people or so were […]
