February 12th, 2012 Daniel Fincke Tonight I saw Chronicle. My spoiler-free review is that I liked it and would give it a B, not because it is at all a well rounded film but because the few things it did well it did well in a special way that I expect to remember for a long time. For my spoiler-filled [...]

February 9th, 2012 Daniel Fincke Quite amusing: I never read the comics involving the death of Superman. How accurate is this? Were the story twists really this lame and insane? (via Hank and Kylie) Your Thoughts?

September 3rd, 2009 Daniel Fincke That illustration comes from Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth about Bertrand Russell’s real life philosophical adventures. The Independent’s writes: The subject of the newest comic-strip sensation, though, might still raise eyebrows: it’s the story of the quest for the foundation of mathematics, starring and narrated by Bertrand Russell, the British logician, philosopher, mathematician, reformer, pacifist, [...]
Peter Suderman Nails Snyder’s Watchmen
July 20th, 2009 Daniel Fincke I love a great review. In what follows Peter Suderman manages to sum up the core problem of Snyder’s film version of Watchmen in less a paragraph: The sensibility behind it is puerile in the extreme.
