40 Days Of DragonCon 2010 (Day 25) – Countdown in Pictures
Share One of the fun things to do at DragonCon is seek out obscure cosplayers. Many cosplayers have true geek pride and go to great lengths to assemble an obscure, yet cool costume. Take this costume we spotted last year for example… I know what you’re thinking. “That’s just some random Mandalorian costume, what’s the [...]

The Spirit is Willing…on DVD
Share When we reviewed The Spirit during its theatrical release, we thought the experience might have been improved on DVD. The theory was the movie was so full of brilliant, distinct images and equally full of complicated action, we ached to seize the reigns ourselves, to have the opportunity to slow down that action (or [...]
