DVD Review – Dublin Murders

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews Dublin Murders… You can’t take back something illegal and the moment Detective Cassie Maddox (Sarah Greene) backs down on passing on their new case, Dublin Murders sets itself up for a fall. Anything that relies on not getting caught is a bad plan, and while Cassie’s been able to keep her partner, […]

Comic Book Review – Copra #1

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews Copra #1… Why start in the middle if you can start at the beginning? Most of the time I’d say that was a rhetorical question, and the first five volumes of Copra (which were originally self-published by series creator, Michel Fiffe) are available now from Image Comics, but this is where having […]

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the miniseries Chernobyl… From the fire, which first caught people’s attention, because of its strange coloring, to the burn victims who would die from radiation exposure, “seeing is believing” shouldn’t be a phrase that is needed when discussing the Chernobyl disaster yet it’s one that takes on terrible significance in the Sky […]

Comic Book Review – The Forgotten Queen #4

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews The Forgotten Queen #4… Readers versed in the Valiant Universe probably already know that Gilad Anni-Panna (or the Eternal Warrior) has two immortal brothers. When you don’t know, though, and Dr. Oyuunchimeg switches to “brothers,” all casual-like, it couldn’t come as more of a surprise. One of the great things about reading […]

Comic Book Review – The Forgotten Queen #3

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews The Forgotten Queen #3… While she hasn’t been able to shake the label “witch,” yet, The Forgotten Queen #3 is more concerned with Vexana’s immortality, and what that does to her perception of time. Every series will tell you something different about witches – what they look like, how their magic works […]

DVD Review – Baptiste Series One

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews series one of Baptiste… Not every TV detective is made to have a TV show named after them. With Julien Baptiste, it feels like the natural next step. After acting as the primary carryover between seasons one and two of The Missing, Baptiste and Tchéky Karyo, the actor who plays him, get […]
