Comic Quickie: Goldfish by Brian M. Bendis

I’m actually very, very busy doing lots of things that are, by every sane standard, a lot more important than blogging, so expect a lot o’ quickies in the near future. If I gloss over stuff you’d actually like to know, you can always pop a question in the comment section. It’s all right – [...]

Quickie: Mad Men, Season 2

Remember how much I liked the first season? Well, I gave it a weak 9/10, and have since then ranked Mad Men as one of my top ten shows of all time. So yeah, I was a fan going into this second season of AMC’s award winning drama (and when I say “award winning”, I [...]

Quantum of Solace

There are very few things so iconic that they don’t simply belong inside its respective medium, but become a defining staple of it. In the wordy world of culture, I’d have to go with things like the Iliad, the Bible or the Koran; all three massive works with influences stretching across nearly everything that’s come [...]

Tropic Thunder

The fact that I went to the theatres to watch this movie should actually be quite astounding. Why, you ask? Well, not so much because it stars Ben Stiller (who is easily negated by the omnipotent actor-genius Robert Downey Jr.). And not so much because it’s directed by Ben Stiller (which is more than forgiveable [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

Those of you who either have a startlingly detailed memory or spend a little too much time obessing over my reviews will remember the hugely entertaining little thing I wrote about the original movie. In many ways I think it was one of my better posts, because it was both easy and fun to read, [...]

The Incredible Hulk

So I watched this movie about a giant green man with anger management issues, and I thought I should post some thoughts on it. It is, after all, the only fair thing to do. One can’t go around reviewing movies about a man who dresses up like a bat and a guy who takes the idea [...]

Zoe’s Tale by John Scalzi

I would not say that I stalk John Scalzi in the strictest sense of the word. I have for example never met the guy or even followed him surreptitiously down a street. Hell, the closest thing I’ve ever come to trespassing on his property is when I sling off a random comment on his monster-of-a-blog, [...]

The Venture Bros. (Season 1-3)

In addition to my regular diet of TV series and films, I can occasionally appreciate a small dosage of cartoons. I watched a whole lot of the American Cartoon Network’s regular programming when I was a toddler (part of the reason I was practically bi-lingual at the age of six), but stopped that habit when [...]

Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman

This is the first of what is sure to be a long series of Neil Gaiman reviews here on A Slight Apocalypse. Graduating students in Norway’s high schools are required to hand in something a little more substantial than the usual stuff when spring comes a-knocking, and while there’s a lot of time left until [...]

The West Wing

Sorry about the sporadic posting, guys. I have no excuse really aside from a sudden lack of inspiration and the fact that school’s back, that I’m working in the weekends and that I have seven cute puppies that desperately need cuddling (when they’re not trying to hamstring me with their newly-discovered appetite for human flesh).
