In the grand scheme of things, the position of comptroller is very important, but nothing about it screams “badass.” In last season’s Tragical History, Cyril tried to show his ISIS coworkers that he was more than just a numbers cruncher. This failed horribly as the office got a virus that nearly exposed all field agents and Cyril...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: Chronicle
Hi, may I have two tickets for Akira? …..Oops, I meant Chronicle, of course. If you thought the Americanized version of Akira had been shelved for the time being then you would be correct, but Chronicle still fits that bill. Before I continue, I have to assume that the reader has either seen or at least heard of the 1988 anime...
Slick’s Nit-Picks: Archer, Episode 304 — “The Man From Jupiter”
Archer has been through a real gauntlet recently. He has had to fight everything from kidnappers to terrorists to cancer to statutory rape charges. Let’s not even go into how he is paying child support on Cyril’s illegitimate child (which is some real poetic justice when you think about it). Regardless of his troubles,...
The Hunger Games: A Cornucopia of Awesome!

Slick’s Nit-Picks: Archer, The Complete Season Two (Blu-Ray)
The second season of Archer had it all: love, betrayal, sex, money, murder and fight clubs. Yes, there really was a fight club and the ISIS crew will never be able to scrub the vision of a naked Pam about to beat the snot out of Malory from their memories. Fortunately, we fans never have to forget it either with the release of the complete...
1st Impression: The Hunter
Willem Dafoe has such a strange resume. He has so many memorable roles mixed in with dog shit like Antichrist that I am always apprehensive about watching films where he is the leading man. I will admit that the plot of this film looks very intriguing and the story of the Tasmanian Tiger has always been something I have had interest in....
