Hard Copy: Chappie The Art of the Movie Review
Robots and artificial intelligence have been a part of science fic
tion since there has been science fiction. There are your friendly robots such as C-3PO and R2-D2 and your homicidal ones like Hal-9000 or Skynet. I actually look forward to the day when personal robots are a thing but until then we have science fiction to keep us hopeful. The ideas of robots being a part of everyday life and artificial intelligence are the main themes in Neill Blomkamp’s newest movie, Chappie. Continue reading

Equipment: Star Trek Phaser Motion Remote
There are certain props from movies or television that most 
people can identify. Props like the light saber from Star Wars, Harry Potter’s wand, and the red phone from Batman 1966 but I feel that there is no more iconic prop than the phaser from Star Trek. Personally, I think the phaser is the most identifiable prop next to the light saber in the world of science fiction pop culture. Continue reading

E.V.A.: Fantasticon Puts out the Call to All Geeks…Assemble in Downtown Toledo
I have traveled far and wide to attend comic book (and sim
ilar) conventions but this is the first time that I attended one in Toledo, Ohio. I was sure that there had been comic conventions here before, but I was told that was a misconception. I was informed that other comic book shows that had been held in Toledo were mostly just large dealer shows. Those events lacked media guests and panels, both of which are big draws for the fans. So if we are to believe my artist friend, Fantasticon made history. Continue reading
