Keanrick: We were exorcising evil spirits. Being but a mere butler, you will not know the great theatre tradition that one does *never* speak the name of the “Scottish Play”. Blackadder: What, *Macbeth*? Mossop, Keanrick: Aahhhhh. Hot potato, orchestra stalls, Puck will make amends. Macbeth is probably my very favorite of Shakespeare’s plays from the…

Manos: The Hands of Fate (Synapse) Blu-ray Review
If you’ve read my reviews on EuroCultAV.com you might know I don’t really get into declaring extremes.

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. You can go to just about any forum related to his medium, drop his name, and derail a thread. Just like that. Snap your fingers for instant trolling. The shit-storm cometh. Some will…
