To This Day, I Am Terrified of The La Brea Tar Pits

Outside the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum, there’s an installation. In a still-bubbling lake of asphalt, a mammoth drowns to death while a crying baby mammoth reaches out its trunk. This is one of the most depressing pieces of statuary I have ever seen. The La Brea Tar Pits and its museum is a…

The Pacific Rim Comic Has Just the Right Mix of Tragedy and Giant Robots

Pacific Rim fans will know that setting any piece of tie-in material before the events of the movie usually can only end up one way: with most of its protagonists and their lovely giant robots dead, leaving Humanity’s defenders on the brink in time for the movie. The new Pacific Rim comic knows that too,…

Unbreakable Looks Even Better After 15 Years of Superhero Movies

Fifteen years ago, superhero movies were dead. Batman and Robin had all but killed them. We were two years away from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, five from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and eight from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So when audiences sat down for Unbreakable, no one was ready. I’ll never forget the first time I…

(Almost) Everybody’s a Vampire Now on American Horror Story: Hotel

Last night’s episode, “Room Service,” was all about transformations. Alex and Iris became vampires for very different reasons, and unsurprisingly the transition into their respective new lives are also very different.

The Clone Wars Once Again Bleed Into The Story on Star Wars Rebels

The latest episode of Star Wars Rebels season two is a perfect example of how, as good a show as this is, it’s not great at maintaining momentum. After last week’s game-changer of an episode, that storyline was put on pause for a tangent that didn’t feel wholly motivated. Brothers of the Broken Horn started…

We Can’t Wait to Play Aethera, the New Science-Fantasy Setting for the Pathfinder RPG

Space wizards casting spells through the ship’s turrets, enraged barbarians teleporting onto the enemy bridge, perilous occult mysteries that span planets, bizarre alien creatures lurking in the interplanetary void—Aethera is not your typical Pathfinder campaign setting.

The Vision Is One Of The Most Unsettling Comics I’ve Read This Year

Okay. So Halloween might be behind us, and I can’t quite believe I’m saying this about a Marvel comic—especially one starring the Avenging Android that was one of the most charming parts of Age of Ultron. But the first issue of The Vision is a strangely chilling, page-turner of a comic. And it is fantastic.…

The First Alice Through the Looking Glass Trailer Is Here. At Least It’s Colorful?

I really, really hate to judge something before it’s out. But I will say that this trailer is not doing the sequel to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland any favors. What we get from the trailer is a hint that the plot has Alice (Mia Wasikowska) fighting against Time (Sacha Baron Cohen) to get back…

This Arrow Episode Is Filled with Magic, and John Constantine Is Just One Part of It

Arrow’s last episode was lackluster, but “Haunted” more than makes up for it. This episode offers up one delight after another. John Constantine brings the magic—quite literally.
