Anghus Houvouras reviews Uncanny Avengers #1… When I first started reading comics, superhero team up comics were my jam.

Ad-Blocked Into Oblivion: The fight to keep film sites free
Anghus Houvouras on the fight to keep film sites free… Allow me to wax nostalgic for a moment. It was all the way back in the year 2000 that I began writing about film online. Inspired by a half-dozen film sites that I enjoyed, convinced that I had something to add to the conversation. It […]
The Week in Disappointment – Avengers: Infinity War, Spectre, Fantastic Four, Inhumans, Fast & Furious 8
Anghus Houvouras with this week’s disappointments from the entertainment world… “Daniel Craig says he’d only do another Bond for the money” Does that mean you did Quantum of Solace for the artistic integrity?

Why does every superhero movie feature the Military-Industrial Complex?
Anghus Houvouras on superhero movies and the military-industrial complex… To say that comic book movies have become formulaic is like saying that Michael Bay enjoys explosions and hot women. It’s painfully obvious and hardly a revelation. I sat through Fantastic Four last week, and like many of you checked out around the halfway point, and […]
Chris Farley as Shrek in leaked story reel
Shrek is an animated classic. An animated classic and a pop culture staple. By now we’re all familiar with the voices of Mike Myers as Shrek and Eddie Murphy as Donkey.
