X-Men: Days of Second Breakfast

Just last year I saw (and reviewed) The Wolverine, an X-Men spin-off focused on everyone’s favorite as he travels to Japan to learn the way of the samurai and die. At least, that’s what I was hoping for. No, the final product is somewhat disappointing. Looking back at my review of it, though, I’m pretty satisfied with…

SciFridays: Mini Reviews!

Baddie – I’m graduating! Lesson – I’m unemployed! This week, because I’ll be graduating with an M.S. in Print Media at about 5pm today , you are treated to some mini reviews!

SciFridays: “The House of the Devil” (2009)

It manages to accomplish something that so many others attempt – genre horror within a different genre setting. Our setting is extremely important,…

Rooster Illusion Enters the Terrible Twos

Yeah, you read that right. This blog is now old enough to drive. Or walk, or…oh, who even remembers? The point is, we’re still here. It’s been a wild ride, with new writers and recaps and merchandise. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried (I mean, I haven’t, but I’m sure someone has), we’ve written drunk and edited hungover.…
