Disney – Pixar’s WALL·E

I think I’ve seen more movies this year than I have in the past 2-3 years combined. It’s been a little tough on the pocket book, but I really can’t complain because it’s been a great “summer at the movies” so far, and with a couple of months left to go it looks like [...]

The Incredible Hulk

I was itching to see The Incredible Hulk on opening night, certainly on the opening weekend, but circumstances prevented me from doing so and I had to put that enthusiasm on hold a little until I could free up some time to spend an evening at the theater. Which means that I’ve spent the [...]

Blue Dragon: First Impressions

As I mentioned a little over a week ago, I was really excited about the release of Hironobu Sakaguchi & Akira Toriyama’s Blue Dragon back in August of ‘07, but when it finally hit store shelves my wallet was already hurting thanks to other purchases I’d made and I decided to hold off on the [...]

I Like It: Lupin the 3rd!

I’ve been enjoying the 1977 Lupin the Third series again recently (incidentally, my girlfriend loves Lupin so I can actually get away with it) and I thought I’d take a moment to once again heap praises its way.

Gemstone’s Disney Comics: A Third Title?

What better occasion is there than Scrooge’s 60th Anniversary to add a third Gemstone title to the line-up?! Well, honestly I’d promote any occasion to pull that off but I’m getting ahead of myself a little here.
For months now, Gemstone Publishing has opened lines up to the fans to see if there is enough [...]

Fire Emblem: DS [Update]

Given the strengths of Fire Emblem and the capabilities of the Nintendo DS, the fit seemed a match made in heaven and I’ve been hoping we’d see a FE game on the hand-held for years now. Well, it appears that on August 7th that it’ll finally become a reality. Granted, that’s the Japanese [...]

DuckTales Theme Song

What kind of a 60th Anniversary celebration for Uncle Scrooge would it be without the unforgettable DuckTales theme song by Mark Mueller and Jeff Pescetto that’s as near and dear to the hearts of millions? I know it’ll forever be ingrained in my memory (rightfully so). Interestingly, Mark Mueller also [...]

Uncle Scrooge’s 60th Anniversary!

We’re ~ 6 months into Uncle Scrooge’s 60th Anniversary and I felt it was high time that I devote a little more time and attention to the celebration.
