DVD Review: Prowl
by Karl Madsen, ComicsOnline.com
She was running from her life. Now she’s running for it.
Remember all the things we were told by our parents? Don’t swim for an hour after eating. Don’t make faces like that or it’ll freeze that way. Don’t take candy from strangers. Don’t sit so close to the TV, you’ll ruin your eyes. Don’t take rides from strangers. So, how many of these are really dangerous?
The premise of Prowl has Amber (Courtney Hope – Mob Rules), who is bored with her small town life, her job as a butcher, and is being pulled to the big city life.

Movie Review: Hanna
Hanna, the new film from Director Joe Wright, is now in theaters!
“One flip and there is no going back”. That’s what Hanna’s dad, Erik, says to her before activating a super-duper-homing-device, which will alert the minions of the C.I.A. to call out the hounds, including deadly C.I.A. agent Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett). Hanna (Saoirse Ronan) and her dad Erik Heller (Eric Bana) have been living in a snowy wonderland, somewhere near Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.
WonderCon 2011: Video Game Preview: Spider-Man: Edge of Time
Last year, Activision and Beenox brought us a interesting take on the spider man universe by showing us 4 different and unique takes on everyone’s favorite webslinging hero in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. This year the developers take a more refined look at two of the versions of Spidey they toyed with last year with both Spider-Man 2099 and Amazing Spider-Man returning in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.
Blu-ray Review: Mad Men – Season Four
You may have to wait until 2012 for Season Five of the acclaimed AMC series Mad Men to return, but you can catch up on the Blu-ray edition of Mad Men – Season Four right now!
Mathew Weiner has not just lovingly and meticulously recreated the fall of 1964 and rest of l965 in the Fourth Season of Mad Men. He has created a thirteen hour movie. As it languidly unfolds it provides a window into the past giving us clues regarding the directions that the characters who inhabit this world are going to take. It just takes time, and alot of it. By the time it concludes, everyone and everything in this corner of universe will be accounted for.
Episode Highlights:
TV Review: Nikita – “Covenant”
Nikita has been a fairly inconsistant show since it began, but recently it has started to become a bit more solid. “Covenant” helps continue the consistency with a pretty interesting mid-season break return episode. This episode features the murkily-alligned Michael and his previous relationship to Nikita.
Nikita is going after the black boxes she so desperately desires once again, and to do so, she needs to capture drug lord Kasim (who has quite the past history with Michael… who wants him dead for what he has done), and trade him to Michael for one of the aformentioned black boxes. This plan quickly goes south when Kasim is not all what he seems to be (As no one really is in this show).

TV Review: Breaking In “Pilot”
Review by Matt Sernaker
FOX, the network that has brought us hit comedies like That 70’s Show, Malcolm in the Middle, and Married With Children, has a notorious track record when it comes to debuting and maintaining a new series. Many shows that premiere on the network are quickly axed right as things start to get interesting (I am still bitter about Undeclared), so it is hard for fans to get attached. This past week, FOX aired the pilot episode of their new show, Breaking In, which is being produced by Happy Madison Productions (Adam Sandler’s production company), and Sony Pictures Television.

Blu-ray Review: Firebreather
Cartoon Network has been very hit-or-miss when it comes to creating new animated franchises. Who can forget such classics as the ingenious Megas XLR or Samurai Jack, but who wants to remember such bombs as Squirrel Boy? Firebreather, Cartoon Network’s newest experiment, falls into the latter of the aforementioned groups. Primed to be a backdoor pilot for an ongoing series, and CN’s first full CGI film, Firebreather is a very interesting specimen, and it is now available on Blu-ray.
Spoiler Alert!
DVD Review: Doctor Who- The Seeds of Doom
Doctor Who: The Seeds of Doom is now available for you to own on DVD!
The long-running British Sci-fi tv series, Doctor Who, has had its ups and downs over the 60 plus years it has been running. But many Classic Who fans seem to agree that Tom Baker, who became the fourth Doctor after Jon Pertwee’s run, is considered the “Golden Age” of Doctor Who, bringing with it a number of timeless stories and memorable characters as well as the return of the popular third Doctor companion (who now stars in her own spinoff show), Sarah Jane Smith.
