Movie Review: Gravity

Gravity was a thrill ride! If they made it into a Realto movie, I wouldn’t be surprised! It’s easily one of the best movies this year!

A Darker DC

Movie Review: Justice League Flashpoint Paradox

SPOILER ALERT

Marital affairs, decapitation, amputation, disintegration, enemies turned heroes, and heroes turned mass murderers. This world’s gone loco!

Based on the DC event entitled Flashpoint, Flashpoint Paradox is DC’s latest animated movie release. DC has had a sterling record in releasing quality animated shows and movies, but this is probably one of their best yet!

The greatest thing about Flashpoint Paradox is that it defies the norms of a Justice League movie. Flash inexplicably finds himself in a world very different from his own. A much darker place where his closest allies are at war, he’s lost his powers, and heroes are scarce. The very premise of the movie promises a fresh perspective into our beloved DC franchise.

Run, Flash, Run!

A Strangely Sensational Spa Experience: Royal Lake Spa

 A spa, a buffet, a videoke and a bar – a strange combination. What do they have in common? Only that they’re all places you go to for a smacking good time. And now you can find all of them in one place - the Royal Lake Spa!

Cosplay Crazy

Cosplay Mania was held last Oct. 5 and 6 at the SMX Convention Center. And I’ve been to my fair share of cosplay events through the years, but not one this immense. It’s amazing what a lot of fan passion and creativity can do. 

Arriving at the venue, you can already see just how many people were anticipating the event. SMX overflowed of cosplayers and fans. The scene was painted with colorful characters and enormous props. Photographers had a field day! 

We entered the hall floor and it was like a festival. Merchants were selling all sorts of anime paraphernalia. From your usual shirts, books, posters and toys, to the less usual, like Harry Potter necklaces, Anime pillows, Captain America aprons, to sewing machines. Yup, sewing machines.

For Sale: Bags, pillows, keychains…and aprons?!?!

Sci Fi Cafe

For some of you who’ve been to toycon, this place might seem like the same thing. Some of you will also think that a guy just didn’t know what to do with his toys, so he decided to open up a cafe and use them as some cheap attraction - but that’s not it at all. Sci-Fi Café offers more than just the opportunity to eat with someone’s toy collection.
