A New Marvel

Posted on March 12, 2019 by George

It was the best of films, it was the worst of films. Just caught Captain Marvel today, and it was worth the price of admission. It added another brick to the structure of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and had quite … Continue reading →

An Incredible Sequel.

Posted on June 22, 2018 by George

I like to think about what words used to mean. Take “incredible.” It’s the opposite of “credible”, which is to say it originally meant “unbelievable.” Not always in a good way. “You claim that you had no knowledge of a … Continue reading →

Fight For Justice!

Posted on November 22, 2017 by George

  Ignore the critics, and go see this movie. Seriously, I just got back from watching it (well, with a detour for a burger at Red Robin’s). I know the critics are panning it–41% Tomato Rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But … Continue reading →

Posted on May 10, 2016 by George

“The Future’s So Bright, I’ve Got To Wear Shades.”

Posted on May 28, 2015 by George

When you think about it, this image is every Green’s nightmare… I mean come on: endless wheat fields, no sign of untouched nature? A techno-utopia city obviously powered by something other than wind and sun? Sorry. I just finished watching … Continue reading →

Holy Cow, It’s May: Updates and a Movie Review.

Posted on May 6, 2015 by George

Progressing on the art, at least… Artemis dropped out of mist and onto the table, and that would have pretty much ended the poker game even if my bursting through the warehouse’s high windows in a shower of glass above … Continue reading →
