Movie Issues: The Amazing Spider-Man 2

It’s time for another swing though the city with everyone’s favorite web-swinger, Spider-Man. Once again directer Marc Webb, who brought us the previous 2012 reboot/remake/reimagining, The Amazing Spider-Man, brings back Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Sally Field for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Adding to the mix this time around: Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, and Paul Giamatti.

Review: Fragile Things – Short Fictions and Wonders

There are a lot of Neil Gaiman projects coming out this year that I’m REALLY looking forward to:  a graphic novel version of The Graveyard Book (with art by the incomparable P.Craig Russell), a very creepy-looking children’s book adaptation of Hansel and Gretel, an illustrated version of Gaiman’s novelette The Truth is a Cave in the Black

Review: The Martian

Andy Weir’s first novel, The Martian, has gotten a lot of attention lately, mostly because it’s nerve-wrackingly realistic.

It’s very well-written, and it’s not

Review: White as Snow

Review: The Wolf Gift: The Wolf Chronicles 1

In her career, Anne Rice has recreated the mythology of vampires, witches, ghosts, mummies, and whatever the main character was in Servant of the Bones. It was probably only a matter of time before she wrote a werewolf story. Rice’s books are usually categorized as horror, and there are certainly a lot of horror elements in The
