[Rec]: Good Zombie Movies Don’t Need to Come from Hollywood
Some people claim that good zombie movie is an oxymoron. In part I agree, because the concept of zombies in itself is a little bit cheesy to begin with, and let’s face it – most of the movies in this … Continue reading
The Incredible Hulk (2008)
When I reviewed Iron Man last week I mentioned I will be watching The Incredible Hulk next. Surprisingly I did not completely hate it, but sadly it was nowhere near as good as Iron Man. After Ang Lee’s artsy, fartsy … Continue reading

Jumper
My former GM used to give us one rule when it came to creating our Ice Space Master characters – no blinkers (teleporting psionics). We all agreed that this was a wise rule. While tempting, this psionic power was bound … Continue reading
