It's the first weekend of May. What comes with that? Free comic book day, nice weather, and what has become the inaugural summer movie event, a Marvel film. This year comic and movie fans got Avengers: Age of Ultron , the sequel to the Avengers (2012) that laid out the blueprint of crossover stories in film.

The villain in this film is in the title, Ultron. Ultron is an artificial intelligence pipe dream of Tony Stark's that he designs with the help of Bruce Banner. They do so based on the energy of a fragment of what ultimately is known as one of the infinity stones for a villain Marvel is building all these films up for, Thanos. He is the purple faced character that has been appearing at the end of the last several Marvel films.

In doing so, the films have introduced fans to many new characters.  Along with Ultron this film brings in Quick Silver, The Scarlet Witch, and Vision. As always with comic book films, there are Easter eggs abound from the Marvel universe. Including a hint at the African nation of Wakanda. If you are fan of comic books you know that only means we may see Black Panther sometime soon.



You really don't need a review to tell you this film is worth your time, do you? If you are a child of the 80's or 90's these films have been selling themselves to you since you heard about them reading Marvel Universe. You're all growed up now, you owe it to yourself to check out this movie.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
