Astonishing X-Men: Gifted (Motion Comic) (Shout! Factory) DVD Review
Joss Whedon, as long as you’ve heard of him, is someone you statistically love or loathe. Trust me, I’ve done the research.

The Amityville Trilogy (Scream Factory) Blu-ray review
The Amityville series has been one of horror cinema’s most persistent and questionably enduring franchises. It all began with the 1977 novel by Jay Anson that was supposedly based on a true story, though it has long been debunked. Nevertheless, the original Amityville Horror has spawned sequels, unofficial spin-offs, pale imitations, countless parodies, and the…
