Rick and Morty - Rickmancing the Stone TV review

It’s a mad, mad world when Rick (Justin Roiland), Summer (Spencer Grammer), and Morty (Roiland) head to an post-apocalyptic Earth not unlike a recent film. Spending more time with their grandfather since their parents divorce hasn’t seemed to help anyone. Summer has taken a dark turn, taking an immediate shine to her new surroundings while Morty’s initial dislike of the new world is softened when Rick’s experimenting gives him a monstrous-sized arm to beat our his anger on all comers as he becomes master of the Blood Dome.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #25

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #25 comic reviewOne step forward, ten steps back. I have to say I’m disappointed in the outcome of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #25. While the over-sized issue itself is fine, although far from great, the build-up to a new day for the Green Lantern Corps working alongside the Sinestro Corps is wasted here returning everything to the status quo.

Great, after all that groundwork we’re thrown back into the rut that Green Lantern comics have been stuck in for the better part of decade.

Killjoys - Attack the Rack TV review

The war against the Hullen begins as Dutch (Hannah John-Kamen) leads a culling of the local branch of the Rack which goes horribly wrong when the Killjoys discover they have been betrayed by one of their own (Erik Knudsen). While Dutch continues to skulk around playing whack-a-Hullen, Johnny (Aaron Ashmore) and D’Avin (Luke Macfarlane) are captured and tortured for information. Despite surviving, and proving the truth about the Hullen to the leaders of the other Rack groups, the Killjoys are dealt yet another crippling blow as Aneela (Hannah John-Kamen) destroys all the enemies standing in her way.

Ghost in the Shell Blu-ray reviewBased on the manga series of the same name, the live-action Hollywood Ghost in the Shell stars Scarlett Johansson (whose casting caused fan backlash). In a world where people are enhanced with cybornetic implants, Major is the first police officer whose brain (or ghost) is housed within the shell of the most advanced robot. While working for the corporation which built her, Major begins to learn disturbing secrets about them and herself that have little to do with keeping the peace. And, if any of this sounds familiar, it’s pretty much the plot of Robocop (without the humor).
