Spider-Man: Homecoming hits theaters on July 7, 2017.
‘Lights Out’ Will Be Released To Digital Retailers On October 11th, Blu-Ray On October 25th!
Looks like October will be a bit scarier with the release of ‘Lights Out‘! With over $100 million world-wide for its theatrical release, I expect home video sales to perform just as well. Looks like the feature film debut of director David F. Sandberg is a bonafide hit. Also, James Wan attaching his name to the film didn’t hurt either.
While this was a massive hit with critics and audience, I felt bored by its repeated jump scared. I felt the film became ineffective until that shock ending! That’s when I could see the darkness the movie truly was hinting at. Thankfully, seeing this in your home will add another level of creepiness to this as well.
Check out my review for the film by clicking here!
‘Lights Out‘ stars Teresa Palmer as Rebecca, Gabriel Bateman as Martin, Alexander DiPersia as Bret, and Maria Bello as Sophie.
The film will be released digitally on October 11th and home video on October 25th.
I was in Niagara-on-the-Lake earlier this week, so I stopped by Niagara Oast House Brewers to fill my growler with Barn Raiser Country Ale. But, while I was there I also bought a 750 mL bottle of their Farmer Brown’s Dark Ass Ale. I’ve never had an Oast House beer I didn’t like, so I have high hopes for this oddly named dark ale. But enough talk, let’s drink …
Niagara Oast House Brewers: Farmer Brown’s Dark Ass Ale – First Sip
This hefty dark ale from Niagara Oast House Brewers pours a very dark brown with a relatively permanent layer of head. I smell burnt sugar and caramel as I take my first sip. I also get a fine layer of foam on my mustache. This is a very malty beer. Its smell is a preamble to its sweet taste, offset by the slightest bitterness. I taste a mildly fruity flavour, likely a result of aging it in wine barrels. Its complex flavour fades to a gritty finish that reminds me of walnuts and coffee beans. Dark Ass Ale’s mouthfeel is thick and foamy, with the heaviness of a stout.
Niagara Oast House Brewers: Farmer Brown’s Dark Ass Ale – Last Sip
Heavy though it is, Dark Ass Ale is good. It drinks like a fizzier version of Guinness, somewhat like a porter. Like other stouts and dark ales, this one weighs in at 7.9% ABV. I don’t know if I could drink more than one of these in a sitting, but I feel similarly about all heavy beers. Strong beers like this can go with just about anything, so long as it’s not really heavy. I suggest pairing Farmer Brown’s Dark Ass Ale with a thick soup, or maybe some blackened chicken. Although, this would without a doubt pair well with a good fish ‘n’ chips.
Check Out This Look Back At My Favorite Movies From 1990, The Year I Was Born!
The year was 1990. The MPAA got rid of Rated X films, now calling them NC-17. Muppets creator Jim Henson just passed away. Even politics were crazy with George H. W. Bush as President and the Gulf War starting. During all of this chaos, the cinemas remained the place to be. 1990 saw ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘ become the second high grossing independent movie ever while Martin Scorsese creates his epic ‘Goodfellas‘. Also, can’t forget the bad-ass movie ‘Robocop 2‘!
But on December 29th, little EJ Morenowas born. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with film more so than I have with anything else. Naturally, I wanted to reflect on the movies that came out the year I was born. Seeing what dominated the cinemas in ’90 seemed thrilling to me. Below is a list of my five favorite movies from 1990!
5. Frankenhooker
-Sure, I could have put esteemed classics like ‘Goodfellas‘ or ‘Dances With Wolves‘ on this list but that’s not me. I like campy horror films; especially ones with hookers and Frankenstein’s Monster. I didn’t know how much ‘Frankenhooker‘ shaped my film taste until I created my first short film inspired by this movie!
4. Home Alone
-An odd choice considering the rest of this list but I do love a good home invasion film. Even when it involves kids and Christmas. ‘Home Alone‘ has stood the test of time and lived on to be a holiday classic with some iconic scenes. While I do love this movie, I enjoy ‘Home Alone 2‘ just a little bit more.
3. Jacob’s Ladder
-Something about this surreal horror film starring Tim Robbins scares me. ‘Jacob’s Ladder‘ is about a Vietnam War veteran mourning the death of his child. In an attempt to discover his past and recover from a severe case of dissociation, Jacob tries to figure out what is reality and his own horrifying dreams of death.
2. Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer
-Although it was originally released in a limited capacity in 1986, ‘Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer‘ wasn’t widely released until 1990. And it’s my list so I can do whatever I want. This movie is so insanely vile & gruesome that sometimes I’m amazed how it was ever made. Also, thanks for introducing us to Michael Rooker!
1. Edward Scissorhands
-This is the pinnacle Tim Burton film. He has an entire roster full of heavy-hitters but nothing screams Burton more than ‘Edward Scissorhands‘! Pairing up with Johnny Depp for the first time, this would also start a bond in film that has lasted decades. That alone could put this sad gothic love story on the top of any best of lists.
Do any of your favorites make this list?

Collective Arts Brewing is a unique grassroots brewery that merges brewing tasty beer, an art in its own right, with a venue for up-and-coming Canadian artists. Bob Russell and Matt Johnston tell their story in their own words in a short video on Collective Arts’ “About” page. When scanned by a free smartphone application, each beer’s label acts as a gateway to a featured emerging artist’s work.
As their website says, Collective Arts Brewing is located at 207 Burlington Street East in Hamilton, which was previously the home to five other breweries before Collective Arts took up residence there. With their official launch only last year, Collective Arts Brewing will hopefully be making beer and promoting art for years to come. I picked up a couple tall cans of their “Ransack the Universe” IPA at my local LCBO …
Collective Arts Brewing: Ransack the Universe IPA – First Sip
Ransack the Universe pours cloudy and golden in colour. I notice its aroma, like sweet fruit, while I’m pouring it. Its smell balances well with its bitter, almost piney, flavour. The strong hops may put lager-drinkers off. But, as a longtime IPA-advocate I enjoy its bitter flavour, which leads to an only slightly less bitter finish. With a relatively high carbonation level and a noticeable thickness, Ransack the Universe has a thick but clean mouthfeel.
Collective Arts Brewing: Ransack the Universe IPA – Last Sip
I suggest drinking this APA with salty food. But, beating up other beers and stealing their lunch money, this formidable brew weighs in at a respectable 6.8% ABV. So, you may want to limit yourself to ransacking one or two universes in a sitting.
But beyond their excellent brews, one of Collective Arts Brewing’s best features is their unique mandate. So don’t forget to submit your work, and join their grassroots revolution.
Summer is coming to an end, which means, tons of new and returning shows will soon take over your TV. In the meantime, not much is on right now.
So, if you’ve been meaning to watch “that” show a friend recommended months ago, now’s the perfect.
Here’s a list of six shows you should binge before fall TV season starts:
Stranger Things (Netflix)
I can’t talk about this show enough. If you haven’t watched this ’80s-inspired supernatural drama, you’re missing out.
There are so many references to the decade of big hair and MTV. You’ll have fun just counting them. Plus, the show is only eight episodes.
Black Mirror (Netflix)
Keeping with the “strange” element, this BBC production is a definite must-see.
The series takes a dystopian view of the world and technology.There are two seasons, but you only have to binge six episodes. The third season premieres Oct. 21. Plenty of time.
The Fall (Netflix)
A third season of this slow-burn detective series premieres this fall.
In the meantime, you can catch up on two seasons (11 episodes) before then. Gillian Anderson plays a chilly detective determined to catch a serial killer (Jamie Dornan) who targets women.
The Night Of (HBO)
Fan of the crime story genre? Enter HBO’s newest series The Night Of.
It’s set in New York City and revolves around the murder of a young woman on the Upper West Side. Nazir Khan, a Pakistani-American, is accused of the murder. Each episode reveals the flaws in the criminal justice system. The finale of the eight-part series airs Aug. 28.
Supergirl (The CW)
Supergirl had a rocky first season. The show, which originally aired on CBS, had huge ratings during its premiere. However, viewership declined in the weeks that followed.
Before the season one finale it was able to attract more viewers. It’s a good thing more people gave the show a chance, because there’s a lot to like. One, it’s about hope which is a refreshing break from the bleak and dark. Also, it has a strong female character in the lead. Top it off with a good support team that includes James “Jimmy” Olsen and a Flash crossover, and you’re in for 20 episodes of fun.
Supergirl moved to The CW for season 2. The season premiere airs Oct. 10.
Mr. Robot (USA)
No list would be complete without including what is arguably one of the best shows on TV.
This highly-addictive hacker drama is full of surprises and edge-of-your seat moments. Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) gets deeply involved with fsociety, a group intent on taking down a company called Evil Corp.
We (the audience) get most of our information from Elliot who is not the most reliable narrator. Is he really talking to someone or is it just his mind playing tricks? Did that really happening or did he imagine it? Mr. Robot keeps you guessing with each episode.
A brand new Captain America: Civil War featurette has been released on Youtube, titled Pairing Up. The featurette talks about the amazing, 17 minute airport battle, and what went into the process of planning, staging, and filming the scene. Watch it below.
Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, the film features Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa, Elizabeth Olson as Wanda Maximoff, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanova, and many others. To read the full cast list, click here.
Captain America: Civil War hits Digital HD on September 2, and Blu-Ray/DVD on September 13. Get those wallets ready!
A new batch of concept art from the highly praised Stranger Things has been released, via Screencrush.
The new pieces of art feature Barb, the Upside Down, and the mysterious egg seen a few times throughout the first season.
Screencrush caught up with Aaron Sims Creative, the studio behind these pieces of concept art, and got their comments on the egg.
“The egg was a design for something you actually see a couple times in the show, whether you recognize it or not. There are a couple encounters where we see the Demogorgon hunkered over, eating something – when Nancy goes into the Upside-Down through the tree, and when Eleven finds the creature in her ‘vision,’ it’s hunkered over this egg, feeding off of it. It’s not clear whether or not this is the creature’s offspring – we don’t even know if it’s the same species. The only info we have is that the creature is feeding off this egg somehow.”
They then commented on the death of Barb, saying:
“Based on our original discussion with the Duffers on this design, we wanted to go really graphic with it to highlight the horrific aspects of Barb being eaten,” Sims shared, “and something then growing on top of her – thus, the ribs poking out of her stomach in the first shot.”
The show features Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Winona Ryder as Joyce, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas, David Harbour as Officer Hopper, Natalia Dyer as Nancy, Noah Schnapp as Will, along with many other cast members. Read the full list here.
A love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80’s, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl.
The first season of Stranger Things is on Netflix now. Check it out!
Marvel has released the first clip for the upcoming Luke Cage Netflix series. Watch it down below.
“Luke Cage is a former gang member who is framed for a crime. In prison, he volunteers for a medical experiment that goes awry, giving him super strength and bulletproof skin. Using his newfound powers, Cage escapes and becomes a hero for hire. His archenemy is Willy Stryker, a former childhood friend from Harlem. The two committed petty crimes together, and both fell for the same woman, Reva Connors, which led to their eventual falling out. It was Stryker who framed Cage for a drug deal that sent him to prison.”–Screencrush.
The show stars Mike Colter as the title character, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, Mahershala Ali as Cornell Stokes, Simone Missick as Misty Night, along with many other cast members. Read the full list here.
Another month down and only a third left of 2016 is left. This means it’s once again time to look at all the new titles which are coming to the Netflix. These are all the titles a geek needs to see to keep their nerd cred strong.
1. Footloose (September 1st)
The movie which made everyone want to kick off their Sunday shoes. A film whose soundtrack is a must have for anyone’s playlist. Watch as Kevin Bacon stars as Ren McCormack and must fight for his right to dance.
2. The IT Crowd, Series 5 (September 1st)
The series which reminds everyone just how terrible it is to explain to your coworkers how to fix their computers. Watch as Roy, Maurice, and Jen suffer through the most random problems imaginable. Sure, it’s only a one shot but if you want more you could always go back and binge watch the entire series.
3. Jaws (September 1st)
You’re going to need a bigger boat. The movie which made everyone afraid to go into the water comes to Netflix. Come for the memorable lines and stay for one of the best monster movies to come out of the 70s.
4. Top Gun (September 1st)
This movie has it all. A great soundtrack, intense action, and some great catchphrases. Also, Tom Cruise at his finest. It will fill you with a need, a need for speed.
5. Wicker Man (September 1st)
Is it one of the worst movies ever made? Yes. Yes it is. Still you owe it to yourself to check out some of the worst performances ever thanks to Nicolas Cage. Finding it hard to believe it’s as bad as people say? Then you owe it to yourself to experience it at least once.
6. Galavant, Season 1 & 2 (September 7th)
The comedy, musical series about Knights and Sorcerers which was cancelled far too early. Galavant must deal with problems such his ex and his rival (played by John Stamos). Check it out and maybe give the show the support it needs so another season may not be such a fairy tale.
7. Supergirl, Season 1 (September 10th)
With her move to the CW for season 2, it’s official. Supergirl is here to stay. This means if you were waiting to see if the series was necessary viewing or not you have your answer. Use this opportunity to catch up on all the different characters so you can be ready for when the next time Supergirl crosses over with the rest of the DC TV series.
8. Walking Dead, Season 6 (September 15th)
Walkers are everywhere and it’s all about finding a way to survive. This season gave people exactly what they wanted by introducing fan favorite character Negan to the mix. Check it out and see who survives after the dust settles and the Walkers stop moving.
9. Gotham, Season 2 (September 19th)
The series which continues to show a city which needs Batman more than ever is back. This time characters such as Mr. Freeze, Azrael, and Hugo Strange make an appearance. It makes you wonder how long the city will survive without Bruce Wayne finally suiting up to take to the streets.
10. Marvel’s Luke Cage (September 30th)
Sweet Christmas! After his introduction in Alias and talk of his involvement in the upcoming Defenders series, people have been demanding more Luke Cage. This series is set to focus more on the man himself and how he got his powers in the first place.
