The Passage of Time Test: Hellraiser

Leah Rhyne — Fri, 25 May 2012 13:00:21 +0000

Hellraiser came out in 1987. I was eight. Pictures of the white-faced Hellraiser guy with pins sticking out of his head sent me running. Literally running, from the TV or the poster or wherever I saw him glare at me.

Win A Snow White & The Huntsman Prize Pack!

Alpha-Girl — Thu, 24 May 2012 12:00:41 +0000

Prize pack does not include Chris Hemsworth delivered to your door in your specified state of undress. Although, that would be the best prize pack ever.

Webseries Review: Geek and Sundry

Melissa Voelker — Wed, 23 May 2012 15:00:11 +0000

As if all of the other regular TV stuff and webseries stuff Felicia Day has been doing isn't enough, she has created an entire geek related web channel where viewers can get their fix of reviews, table games, book clubs, and more.

Supernatural: There Will Be Blood & Survival of the Fittest

Julia Santo — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:00:57 +0000

This was just a boring end to a boring season. Dick Roman, the Leviathan, these aren't engaging villains for our characters to contend with. America eats themselves to death? It's not even a metaphor! It's just laziness.

Game of Thrones: As Goes Ros, So Goes Westeros

Alpha-Girl — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:00:36 +0000

I don't see this situation ending well for her, but hers is the condition of the common folk of Westeros. They get used and broken and tossed aside by the nobility and, despite all the fighting, none of it is really on their behalf.

Badland Girls: Clubbing with My Coven

Rhea Dee — Mon, 21 May 2012 12:00:31 +0000

This week, the Badland Girls sit down with Matthew Marko of No Name Movie blog to talk about his rampant cinephilia, old cartoons, and James Bond. Thanks to BG superfan, TC_Hillbop for the sweet cover of our theme song!

High Hopes for Prometheus

Leah Rhyne — Fri, 18 May 2012 13:00:28 +0000

I want a bad-ass kid, like Newt. Because, as a kid myself, I loved her. Wanted to be her. I mimicked her shriek; I said “aaaafirmative.” And then, in the Third Movie Which Shall Not Be Referred to By Name, they killed her. Bastards.

Vampires and Werewolves and Bears, Oh My! Big Dog Ink premiers new title: URSA MINOR

mamarox — Fri, 18 May 2012 01:50:29 +0000

Ursa Minor #1, the debut issue of the new series from Big Dog Ink, does just what the opening chapter of any good story should do; it teases, tantalizes, and leaves you with questions, and a hunger for more.

Sometimes It Doesn’t Work Out

Alpha-Girl — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:00:30 +0000

There is no Doctor. There is no Superman. That’s only on TV and in the movies. In real life, you stand up for what’s right only to get kicked in the face by the reactionary and ignored by the apathetic and fearful.

Once Upon A Time: A Land Without Magic

Alpha-Girl — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:00:23 +0000

That is how you do a season finale. Solve the main problem. Answer the existing questions. Change the game in a reasonable way. And do it with an effing dragon.

Game of Thrones: The Ladies Stark are Badass

Alpha-Girl — Tue, 15 May 2012 15:00:26 +0000

Catelyn Stark acts like she can cut a dude with her eyeballs, she’s so badass.

The Vampire Diaries: The Departed

Dawn Del Sontro — Tue, 15 May 2012 12:00:27 +0000

Holy crap! I’d applaud but I’m still in awe over the awesomeness that was the majority of this episode. Now that’s a way to end a season.

Prize Pack Giveaway: Bitterblue

Alpha-Girl — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:00:49 +0000

This week, we have two prize packs to give away to discerning reader of excellent fantasy.

Webseries Review: 1 Hour Power

Melissa Voelker — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:00:15 +0000

The concept, basically, is that these filmmakers go out during lunch time and film something, then take it back to the office and edit it into something resembling an episode, all in the space of an hour.

Badland Girls: Chris Evans’s Ass, You Guys

Rhea Dee — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:00:41 +0000

This week, the ladies talk about Joss Whedon and how much they love him. We also talk Robert Downey Jr., our issues with the Buffy and Angel comics, and answer the most important question: Who's the cutest Avenger?

Books: Songs of the Earth

Alpha-Girl — Fri, 11 May 2012 12:00:36 +0000

I’m now old enough - and have read enough - that Songs of the Earth comes off as imitation, like a fake Louis Vuitton bag, only without the labor exploitation and sadness.

I’m Losing It Over Maurice Sendak

Alpha-Girl — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:00:07 +0000

Even after all this time, Maurice Sendak seemed like the only grown-up who truly knew and understood kids.

Supernatural: Reading is Fundamental

Julia Santo — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:20:50 +0000

I think I’ve finally found my issue with this season as a whole. The boys have practically no stake in this fight whatsoever.

The Vampire Diaries: Before Sunset

Dawn Del Sontro — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:00:09 +0000

I get so worked up about this show. Even my dog, Monster, gives me looks that say, “Shut up! What did you expect?” Then my husband tells me not to drink so much and yell at the TV so loud since it’s a school night and the kids are trying to sleep.

Once Upon A Time: An Apple Red as Blood

Alpha-Girl — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:00:27 +0000

Woohoo! It’s Awesome!Snow White! And she’s accompanied by Badass Granny, Killer Red Riding Hood, and a swarm of glitterpoop flinging fairies!
