Bloodfist 2050 Review [Spoilers]
If you ever wondered what a Skinemax produced tournament fighter movie would be like, wonder no more. After watching Riki Oh, one of the most over-the-top gorefest martial arts movies I've ever seen( and I've seen Raid 1 and 2), it only seemed fitting to keep diving into the realm of kung fu shlock and to that end we have Bloodfist 2050 also known as Street Fighter 2050.

DC Universe's Supersons – Vol. 1
From the very moment I opened the comic to the first page, I was hooked. Initially, I came across Supersons because of the YouTube channel ComicsExplained. I highly recommend it for any and everyone who's interested in both Marvel and DC universes. That aside, the story of Supersons centers around Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent, sons of our favorite heroes Batman and Superman.

Top 5 Movie Cowboys
TOP 5 MOVIE COWBOYS (these are all in my opinion) 5) Mr.Gruder from Bone Tomahawk Not many movies feature a Pinkerton as a character. They were known as the badasses of law enforcement back in the day, and John Gruder played by Matthew Fox is a Pinkerton through and through. No nonsense, strategic minded, and cold blooded. The most emotion shown from him is for his horse. Almost every character in Bone Tomahawk is likeable but Gruder's well-mannered ways and smugness are what set him apart from the pack and you begin wondering what western featuring only Gruder would be like. Probably bloody as hell.

Review: The Fifth Element
I love the way Luc Besson views the universe. Besson sees the universe in bright bold colors. It’s the way I would like to view the universe. While my mind is often clouded by the often sad and tragic state of humanity, and especially man’s inhumanity to man, Besson manages to look beyond and see the beauty beyond our planet and into the stars.

La Bamba Turns 30
Somehow, despite having seen the movie La Bamba more than a dozen times in my life, watching the movie on its 30th Anniversary felt brand new. La Bamba was a film of my youth; I was 11 years old when the film hit theaters in 1987. I watched it repeatedly when it was on pay cable and free TV in the later 80’s and 90’s and then the film fell from my memory. You might be wondering how I could have allowed something I must’ve treasured to leave my memories. The answer is more complicated than I had imagined.

Movie Review Dunkirk
With The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, director Christopher Nolan has ascended to that rarefied air of directors who can sell a movie with his name alone. Nolan now stands shoulder to shoulder with fellow relative newcomers J.J. Abrams and Joss Whedon and the original superstar director, Steven Speilberg.

Review: 'The Trinity Six'
For those with an interest in espionage, the Cambridge Five remain well known. Five graduates of Trinity College Cambridge, the group infiltrated high levels positions inside the British government between the 1930s and 1950s and spied for the Soviet Union. They handed over names of agents, exposed entire operations, revealed details of the Enigma code-breaking effort, and helped to tip the Soviets off on efforts to build the atomic bomb. It took decades to expose all five but imagine, for a moment, that there was a sixth Cambridge spy. One who has managed to remain hidden but is now on the verge of being exposed. That is the premise of Charles Cumming's 2011 novel which sees the past coming back to haunt the present.
