Read MoreLess Justice League, more Jack Kirby’s Fourth World, please…
Yesterday, I watched a matinee showing of the film Justice League, where a collection of DC superheroes band together to stop an alien conqueror from taking over the Earth. The best thing I can say about it was … well, it was kinda okay. But that being said … there were moments in the film…
Read More“Kodachrome: The Movie” coming to Netflix
About seven years ago, I used the iconic slide film Kodachrome in its last year that the film could be developed. I photographed bridges and trees and winter scenes and other cool images. Then, in December 2010, the last processing plant in the world – the only one capable of handling the various chemicals used…

As a kid, I feasted on comic books. I followed the multi-layered storylines of Marvel’s superhero lines, as well as the sharp, snappy, inventive comics in the DC line. So any time a new Marvel or DC motion picture or television series debuts, I have to give it a chance. Whether it’s the films in…

It’s almost as if the storytellers decided to rebuild the old “Star Wars Expanded Universe” that once populated the series’ books and videogames and TV specials, and…

I’ve written before about my love and appreciation for the Star Wars movie franchise. I stood in line at Northway Mall way back in 1977 at the old Cine 1-2-3-4-5-6 to see the first movie (now known as Episode IV), and last year I did the entire six-movie marathon at Regal Crossgates 18 before seeing…

I grew up with the Three Stooges. As a kid, I watched Three Stooges movies at 7:00 a.m. on WTEN as part of a “Popeye and the Three Stooges” show, which would lead into Commander Ralph Vartigian and the Good Ship News. In later years, I would watch Three Stooges marathons on WSBK, when the…
