Movie Review: Jurassic Park 3-D
While 3-D still sometimes seems like a gimmick, Jurassic Park 3-D is actually made better because of it. Rather than get a standard 3-D update where the special effects get the treatment, the entire film was re-done with it. It looks fantastic. The depth of field created by the 3-D makes the dinosaur encounters much more terrifying.

WonderCon 2013: “My Two Cents!” Editorial
This was my first time at WonderCon and I didn’t know what to expect, but boy, was it FUN! Last year I was all set to go, badge secured, but then I came down with the flu and couldn’t attend.

DVD Review: Digimon: The Official First Season, Vol. 2 and Digimon: The Offical Second Season Review
If you happened to be a kid in the late 90s, there was one crucal choice you had to make in order to decide your place in the schoolyard. It was rivalry between two things that would continue onwards for years down the line. One so huge it would make the Sharks and Jets conflict from West Side Story look like a nice friendly sitdown and get together. One that would make the “Batman or Superman?” look like a choice between two kids on the playground. No, this conflict was DEEP. This question would define you to everyone for the next several years of your life and once you made it, there was no going back: “Are you a fan of Pokemon or Digimon?”
