Ricky Church reviews Optimus Prime: First Strike #1… Its not unusual for a big comic book event to have several tie-in issues to the main series, telling companion stories with some of the supporting characters to either help expand the event’s scope or fill in some gaps. What is unusual, however, is to have an […]

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 2 Review – ‘Freak Show’
Jessie Robertson reviews the second episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow season 3… This week’s Legends opens with a particularly hot scene between Amaya and Nate when they were together and is the highlight of another wacky adventure as they track down time anachronisms (they are really pushing to bring that word back into modern […]
The Flash Season 4 Episode 2 Review – ‘Mixed Signals’
Jessie Robertson reviews the second episode of The Flash season 4… The Flash tries to get back some of that season 1 magic by completely lightening up the mood on the show after one of the most abysmal episodes, not just in its history, but in all of The CW-Verse, last week’s premiere.

53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – I, Tonya (2017)
Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street gave Margot Robbie a huge opportunity that she fearlessly seized, dressing up as Harley Quinn broke her into the mainstream as a Hollywood star, and now I, Tonya should net her a first-time Oscar nomination. Directed by Craig Gillespie (last year’s The Finest Hours), the biopic depicts the figure skating career of the infamous […]

53rd Chicago International Film Festival Capsule Review – Lady Bird (2017)
In the hands of many other writers, the titular, self-proclaimed Lady Bird – real name Christine McPherson played by renowned Irish actress Saoirse Ronan – would come across as whiny, entitled, and unlikable to the point where the entire film comes crumbling down. Fortunately, Greta Gerwig is unlike most writers, as her directorial debut is […]
Video Game Review – Expand
Calum Petrie reviews Expand… Expand is not your usual type of game; it lingers somewhere between the simplicity of an early 80’s adventure game and a modern brain teaser. The combination makes for a deliciously addictive mix of basic gameplay complemented by frustrating trial and error, with the fear your controller is not long for […]
