Kansas City-based toy designer and illustrator, MAD , is sick of the sellouts. Specifically, he’s tired of seeing the heroes he grew up with being “motivated by profit rather than to inspire.” That’s why he came up with his own take on these “Modern Heroes”—each of whom sport cartoonish, skeletal faces, to drive home the […]

Halloween seems to bring out the better aspects of the less desirable things… the campy, the hokey, the “so bad it’s good,” they just seem to thrive in the atmosphere of this frightfully fun holiday.

Some of the DVD/Blu-Ray releases this week. Brave – Pixar’s latest.

Some of the DVD/Blu-Ray releases for this week. Alfred Hitchcock: The Masterpiece Collection – Contains 15 of the master of suspense’s best movies. However, since there are only 15 of his movies, everyone is going to look at the list of movies and ask, “WTF?! Why wasn’t fill in the blank included?!” My personal WTF […]
