Asian Superheroes part 3 - Super Young Team

It's been a while since I've written about Asian Superheroes (when DC, Marvel, Image, Wildstorm et al take an honest crack at writing Asian spandex heroes) as frankly, there's not a lot out there. But when you do come across em, you take notice, scratch your head, and in my...

Alternative Oscars: The Best Movie Scenes

With the winners of the 2010 Oscar announced, I have to say I’m very pleased. As deserved, Avatar didn’t win any major category: Dora the Explorer has better plot lines, and I’ve seen better acting in the drama class I took in school when I was seven. I knew The...

Blu-ray Review: Where the Wild Things Are

Taking on a classic is dangerous even with the author's blessing, and there will be people who hate anything that messes with the simple perfection of Maurice Sendak's original. But while it certainly isn't for kids, Spike Jonze's dark vision of the wilds of childhood is an adventurous, touching epic...

DVD Review: Precious is Profound

It's clear from her eyes, her catatonic stare, that Claireece Precious Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) isn't there.
