Movie Review: Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning (Part One)
Mission: Impossible started out as a TV series airing on CBS in September of 1966. After 7 glorious years it was later revived in 88 for two more seasons on ABC, but not until Tom Cruise came along did the IP infect my generation with super-spy fever.

Comic Book Review: X-Men: Before the Fall – The Sinister Four
Mother Righteous of that terminated future was able to send herself back a load of data. What was it? What are the origins of the Sinister Four? This entry into the X-Men: Before The Fall storyline will answer some of these questions, but can we expect a character created by Chris Claremont to tie up all the loose plot threads? C’mon, son.
Comic Book Review: Peacemaker Tries Hard #3
“I’m becoming aware that I must be incredibly unlikeable.”
Me too, Peacemaker, me too. This kind of realization comes to many of us, but hopefully like me, you just consider it a part of your charm. I certainly think of it as part of Peacemaker’s, especially in this week’s Peacemaker Tries Hard #3!
Comic Book Review: Captain America #750
A nice milestone hodgepodge for The First Avenger making it 3/4 of the way to the biggie that only Superman and Batman have reached so far. Overall, a solid volume, uneven as these buffet-style compilations are, but what’s not to love about a triple-sized dose of red, white and blue uplift this Independence Day? ComicsOnline gives Captain America #750 – (!) a patriotic July 4 out of 5 stars.
Comic Book Review: Batman: The Brave and the Bold #2
If this is the style that we can continue expecting from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, we’re in for quite a treat. The stories within have done a great job at investing the reader in sticking around for the next chapter, while presenting an opportunity for some wonderful one-offs that can serve to deepen our connection to these characters and their struggles.
Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
As I write this review I am coming down from a frothing Generation X rage after a young man at the theater said something deprecating about the movie I just watched. So I must beg your indulgence for a moment, gentle reader, while I get something off my chest. On the off chance that that young man somehow reads this, I will be addressing his concerns directly.
Movie Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Our beloved Indiana Jones is back punching Nazis, hunting down ancient artifacts, and partnering up with a new sidekick–all to the heroic trumpets of John Williams’s score. But this Indiana Jones story is not a carbon copy of the originals, it surprisingly veered in a slightly different direction thematically, while still retaining some of the familiar beats we know and love.
