Losing More Than Time
A small creak in the distance had Ben lean away from the brick building. The gentle wind that had slid in from the East all week shifted his hair as if a lover had done so. Blowing upwards, he moved the hair out of the way because there was no way he wanted those memories. Eyes went up as he did so before leveling back down to try and spot the source of the creak.

'Trees: Volume 1' Review by Warren Ellis and Jason Howard
Warren Ellis’ Trees is a fascinating, sprawling series that operates on a global scale. Like his Freak Angels series from Avatar, he’s openly channelling British Science Fiction author, John Wyndham, from the very outset of this book. Taking the premise of an alien invasion, Trees chronicles life ten years after a number of alien, black columns arrive on Earth, and do... nothing. They loom over human cities, silent and apparently inactive, apart from the occasional discharge that leaks into the planet’s biosphere. As a consequence, the story Ellis is crafting is both the story of human reaction to these aliens and of what happens as the Trees begin to change. I must say that my initial feeling with regards to the structure of this comics series is that it is a novel, one that builds slowly and inexorably towards a point where there will be convergence.

Worst Fandoms In Modern Media
Fandoms are a relatively new aspect of pop culture, primarily because it's only recently that there have been enough people to develop communities over niche interests. Every fandom, much like every television show, movie series, and book series, has its own personality.

5 Christian Films Worth Seeing
I recently wrote a review of Christian films that featured a harsh critique from an honest perspective. While I meant what I said, I also realize that there are a few Christian films that have been a bit more honest about the world and life as a Christian. I will admit that a few more than five than have been made. However, I wanted to recognize these five films not just because they are faith-based but because of their cinematography, acting level, and authenticity.

Classic Movie Review: 'Blade Runner'
Ridley Scott’s sci-fi epic Blade Runner is one of my favorite films of all time, mostly for the unique, lived-in look, and bleak futuristic setting. Blade Runner is an eye-catching mind-blower that, if it skimps on character development a little, more than makes up for character deficits with incredible visual artistry. It’s unquestionably Ridley Scott’s finest work and with the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, being released soon, it’s as good a time as any to look back on Sir Ridley’s masterpiece.

H'ween Horrorthon: 'Scream 2' (20 Years Later)
"By definition alone, they're inferior films!" —Jamie Kennedy as film-geek Randy Meeks Hello, one and all. I hesitated to do this entry on account of the fact that I would rather review original films only—not reboots, remakes, re-hashings, and, the worst cardinal sin of all, sequels. I do feel that the chronic repetition of a movie plot and its formula does very little to quell the initial joy that emanated from the first film and, readily, its "continuation" of the story is usually just a dull re-tread of the first film's original story.

Reed Alexander's Review of 'X Moor' (2014)
SPOILERS! The Beast of X Moor or… The Beast of Wasting My Fucking Time... Really? You're going to set me up for a creature feature flick, and fuck it up with The Scooby-Doo Effect before it even gets started? I mean, at least you didn't try to pass it off like some bullshit twist, but fuck you and the beast you road in on. Look, just because you confess to The Scooby-Doo Effect in the first ten minutes does not make it okay. The whole fucking point of a creature feature flick is that we want to see THE GOD DAMN MONSTER! HALF THE FUCKING POINT IS THE BUILD UP TO THE BIG FUCKING MONSTER REVEAL AT THE END!

Movie Review: 'The Stray'
The Stray is one ridiculously terrible movie. This family adventure about a family that takes in a stray dog that they name Pluto opens with a nearly deadly lightning strike and only gets weirder and more bizarrely bad from there. The film purports to be a true story written and directed by Mitch Davis about his own family dog. However, there doesn’t appear to be any truth that was actually captured in this silly, unrealistic screenplay filled with characters who are like aliens enacting human emotions.
