Game of Thrones S4E4 Review, “Oathkeeper”

In Westeros, you’re no one if you haven’t almost been raped.  At this point, the almost raped/successfully raped camp may outnumber those who have managed to avoid the “rape as a plot device” trick.  Counting up those involved in a rape scenario (including rapers and rapees) Sansa, Cersei, Jaime, Brienne in most episodes she appears…

Animation Quick Look: Fate/Zero

Welcome to animation quick look, you know the drill. In short Fate/Zero is Dragonball Z, but extremely fucked up. Before I get to that, let me lay down the basics. Centuries ago, powerful wizard families created a powerful artifact that granted wises called “the holy grail”, the problem was, it only granted one wish to…

Game of Thrones S4E3 Review, “An Ode to Aidan Gillen”

Yes, yes, yes, you can look anywhere for a review of “Breaker of Chains”, the latest fantastic installment of Game of Thrones.  If you really want a great review, why not go to Grantland and read Andy Greenwald’s fantastic piece, the depth of which rivals the show itself.

Animation Quick Look: Spider-Man Unlimited

Welcome to this week’s Animation Quick look. I’ve spent the last two columns basically praising the hell out of DC animation. It’s awesome. What about Marvel though?

Game of Thrones S4E2 Review, “The Lion and the Rose”

Alas, His Grace Joffrey Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm has left us all too soon. Or more precisely, Jack Gleeson, who portrayed Joffrey with unbelievable smarm and hearty helpings of unearned hubris and arrogance, combined with…

Game of Thrones S4E1 Review, “Two Swords”

Review? Who am I kidding. Anything I write about this show could hardly be considered an unbiased review.  Game of Thrones had me at hello.  More appropriately, Game of Thrones had me at Hell, yo. The question that I can’t quite wrap my head around is, how can the show always be so damn good?…

Animation Quick Look: Young Justice

Welcome to Animation quick look, you probably know the drill by the now, I watch something animated and tell you if it’s worth your viewing time. Young Justice is a lot different from previous animated shows I have reviewed on Screensnark thus far. Not only have I seen bits and pieces to it prior to…
