‘An Unkindness Of Ghosts’ Is Space Afrofuturism At Its Best
An Unkindness of Ghosts is an experience that will leave you asking questions about identity, ethnicity, love, familial kinship, autonomy, responsibility, group economics, and power structures. Set in the future yet, unnervingly reflective of the harmful chattel slavery past of the United States, An Unkindness of Ghosts tackles big questions through the eyes and experiences of a protagonist who is wholly unique. Filled with prose, poems, and fables … Continue reading ‘An Unkindness Of Ghosts’ Is Space Afrofuturism At Its Best
Egyptians played by actors of color in new TV series
Yes, you read that correctly. Fox is airing a new show, Hieroglyph, in 2014 set in ancient Egypt where the actors are actually brown skinned people. The day has finally arrived! No more fair-skinned Egyptians in the tradition of Liz Taylor (Cleopatra) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy). Fox is making a bold move and I am excited about about it. I hope this sets a … Continue reading Egyptians played by actors of color in new TV series
Avengers Arena
So, if you were a teen with super powers and were suddenly teleported to a world with other teens who also possessed super powers and told to fight for 30 days until only one survivor was left, would you play the game as a hero, villain, or survivor? That is the question posed in Avengers Arena: Murder World. We see the kids placed into this … Continue reading Avengers Arena
Saved by the Bell – The Comic
As a kid who grew up watching Saved by The Bell and the antics of Zack Morris and crew I am both shocked and hestitantly excited that Lion Forge is turning the TV series into a comic. The news I came across was on the publisher’s facebook page and had a brief snippet of info: I identified with Lisa Turtle as the only Black girl … Continue reading Saved by the Bell – The Comic

My Favorites of 2013
Movie: Pacific Rim This action packed movie is the film I have been waiting for my whole life. Giant man-operated robots (mecha) fighting giant alien monsters, ummm, YES! This movie was filled with great battle scenes and even hit me in the gut with a surprise emotional scene that actually moved me, a very rare occurrence. I loved this movie and it is in my … Continue reading My Favorites of 2013
The NeverEnding Story: Not how I remembered
Hub recently aired this classic movie and I live-tweeted it to capture my experience. I don’t remember the movie being so heavy and emotional when I watched as a kid. I didn’t remember Bastian’s mother being dead nor his father being so void of compassion. The death of Artax was also a lot more gut wrenching this time around. The actors really went all in … Continue reading The NeverEnding Story: Not how I remembered
Almost Human: Just another buddy cop show
I wanted to like Almost Human. I really did. But I don’t. It is set in 2048, it has Androids, it has great technological advances but it is completely and utterly lacking in giving the audience more than a weekly dose of solving a crime and moving on in a typical TV crime solving drama fashion. Snooze alert. They could have done so much. They … Continue reading Almost Human: Just another buddy cop show
Mark Millar’s Nemesis: The Villain that deserves a movie
Villains are the interesting characters. I have often hoped for the villain to win ever since I was a child. They have the great plans. They make the stories move. They give the “real” protagonists something to overcome and fight against. Without villains most stories would not even exist. This is especially true in comics. Nemesis was suggested to me by someone who knows what … Continue reading Mark Millar’s Nemesis: The Villain that deserves a movie
The Walking Dead: The Episode We Deserved
Obviously some episodes have been worse than others but this season has been a roller coaster ride. They teased us with some zombie hoardes and new sickness but the action has been much slower than in the previous seasons. I feel like the story is finally moving forward. Carol , Judith, and Herschel are gone and they have FINALLY left the safety of the prison. … Continue reading The Walking Dead: The Episode We Deserved
