Movie Review: Kick-Ass
Over the last few years, film-goers have had a massive exposure to comic-book culture. The average viewer has become more open-minded when it comes to seeing the next comic related release. The next character to make the leap to the big screen is Mark Miller's Kick-Ass and ComicsOnline was invited to a private screening of this upcoming release in San Diego. It is easily one of the most over the top, violent, profane and exhilarating comic-book movies ever. This is no Dark Knight and it sure isn't Iron-Man. Kick-Ass is something entirely new and different…and could easily be one of the best movies of the year!
Now you might be asking yourself, who is Kick-Ass and why should I go see a movie about him?

Blu-ray Review: Stargate Universe- 1.0
Every so often when a franchise has been around for a long time you start to see it stagger. From rehashing old ideas and plots, retconning several facts or events to becoming too weighted down by the past canonized events of itself, all in the name of trying to keep the series going and pushing forwards. We have seen this happen to many sci-fi series through the years such as Star Trek, Star Wars, Red Dwarf and most recently the Stargate series, which has just recently passed its 15th anniversary.
