Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
Guardians of the Galaxy Director: James Gunn Producer: Kevin Feige Studio: Marvel Studios Starring: Chris Pratt, Zoe Zaldana, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Lee Pace By far the most left-field Marvel film to-date; Guardians of the Galaxy follows the meeting and forging of an inter-stellar peacekeeping force of the same name.

This article […]
Myths and Legends: Vampires
Welcome to the first part in a new series centered around the various myths, legends, and stories of the world. Truth be told, I’ve actually been thinking of a way to go about this series for a while now – I just haven’t found the proper way to do so until recently. Here are the […]
Film Review: Elysium
Film Review: Elysium Director: Neill Blomkamp Producer: Neill Blomkamp Studio: Alpha Core Starring: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley.
