Silent Hill, the bizarre survival horror series from Konami, has a lot of great stories to tell. It’s this nebulous concept of a place that never appears the exact same way twice. The town of Silent Hill changes to reflect…
While I was at rehearsal for a theater fundraiser yesterday, I got an e-mail that I just have to share with you. I receive a lot of these notices and rarely run with them on Sketchy Details. They normally read…
The theme for Foreign Chops #12 at The LAMB is Mexico. I wanted to choose another theme with a lot of titles available to stream online. I exceeded my expectations with this one. Between Netflix Instant and Hulu Plus, there…
Superhero films based on existing material have a hard road ahead of them at this point. With critical acclaim for a wide variety of stand alone stories (like The Avengers, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger), the writers of…
My new round-up just went live at The LAMB. We got a wide variety of great Czech films covered by a handful of LAMB blogs. Just goes to show how deep and diverse the world of Czech cinema really is.…
At Quinni-Con 2013, voice actor/director Chris Cason ran a lot of panel about how anime is dubbed and released in the US. He works full time for Funimation, one of my favorite distributors. The panel I was able to catch…

Quinni-Con 2013 had a lot of cosplay. These are the 23 cosplayers who dared to enter the cosplay contest. Honorable mentions went to the Feferi/Eridan Homestuck duo and the TARDIS from Doctor Who. Third place went to The Ice Queen…
I had a hole in my schedule over the weekend and that was supposed to be filled with convention coverage. That’s when I did a quick search online and found out about Quinni-Con. This is a Japanese culture and entertainment…
I watched Django Unchained for a second time today and actually like it even more. There is so much going on in the background and the art design of the film that is so easy to miss if you only…
