By Any Other Name - A Review
By Any Other Name – A Review
Some stories just hit home a bit too hard, well at least for me they do. While it’s true that for every Mysterious Skin there are about ten Freeheld‘s, well-meaning but poorly executed dramas about recognising and accepting homosexuality, the topic is one that only in recent years has been given the delicate and non-cynical approach needed for such a subject matter. To clarify, I’m not saying…

Red Dawn (Original) Review
Red Dawn (Original) Review
Tumblr media
Keep hearing about the movie growing up and never really watched it until now. Also, the Homefront games made me want to take a look at this since the movie had the same premise. Freedom fighters against communist forces who invade America, though in that game it’s the North Koreans and this movie it’s the Russians.
When the movie starts it mentions that all the other nations have fallen to…

In order to win it, they would have to overcome one of South America’s finest cup teams and a miserable English record in the competition

NBC Sports: MLB 1985-GOW-6/22-New York Yankees @ Detroit Tigers: Full Game
. Source:The Daily Journal 1985 is the perfect example of why MLB should’ve went to the three division format in both the American and National League with the playoff wildcards well before 1994. Because you had four ninety win teams in 1985 and each division champion would’ve had at least ninety wins. The Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East, Kansas City Royals in the AL Central, and the Anaheim…

Back in the 1980s, Japan was portrayed as the greatest economic threat to the United States, and allegations of intellectual property theft were only part of Americans' vilification. Thirty years later, Americans have made China the villain, when, just like three decades ago, they should be looking squarely in the mirror. via Snapzu : Places, Culture & Travel

Marvel Two-In-One #69 (1980)
Marvel Two-In-One #69 (1980)
I’m sure there’s a story behind Mark and Ralph teaming up to write so many scripts together, but I can’t help feeling like Macchio weakens Gruenwald, whose best work seems to be his solo work.  Unlike Thing, who is much better with the Fantastic Four than on his own.  Which is why I like the opening sequence of this issue so much. Ben is cooking pancakes and Franklin loses his Human Torch figure…

A War of Two Sides: Denis Villeneuve's "Sicario"
A War of Two Sides: Denis Villeneuve’s “Sicario”
For years now, probably since I was a teenager, I’ve always had some kind of gag reflex whenever anything popular entered the mainstream. Game of Thrones, Utopia, The Artist, even video games like Assassin’s Creed, once I had missed the train when they first showed up I would never play catch up. It’s as if, once missing the stop at the station, I could never convince myself to chase after…
