Given a commitment to a season's worth of hour-long episodes, Generation X could have really come into its own.

The early Nineties were a difficult time for superhero films, particularly for Marvel.

Captain America was the first of Marvel's characters to get a second chance with what is, essentially, a hard reboot that completely ignores both of the television movies that came before.

The Cape is a show that ultimately just doesn’t leave a mark, despite the best of intentions.

With one more episode to go, we should find out fairly quickly whether or not this works or was a bad idea.

The Walking Dead 1.04 “Vatos”

It's a nice scene and relieved a lot of my anxieties about both Kirkman and the series in general.

The Walking Dead 1.03 “Tell It To The Frogs”

Shane is losing it. He thought he had it all, that the apocalypse had given him a family and a purpose.

The question is, if Merle comes back for future episodes (and with an actor of Michael Rooker's caliber, I can only assume that he will), can they do something to make him more of a real character.

This is about as good as good could get.

It’s a surprisingly powerful scene that, even given the title of the film, comes as a bit of a shock.

A Work in Progress: The Punisher (1989)

As it is, it's an effective revenge film that fits securely into the late-Eighties vigilante-action genre.

Ed Gale, who plays Howard, also does amazing work given the limitations he had to work through.

Jamming It Down Their Throats: Captain America & Captain America 2 (1979)

Remember, Steve is using all 100% of his physical capabilities.

Looking For Some Strange: Doctor Strange (1978)

Given the expense and the subject matter, I don't think a Doctor Strange straight from the comics page would have clicked. Of course, this version didn't either.
