In the midst of fog and dust, leftover from the detonation of Sunnydale High School, Buffy Summers' heart throb, Angel, made a place for himself in Los Angeles, protecting the unsuspecting citizens from all sorts of demons. Series creator, Joss Whedon, stated that after the episode Surprise (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer's second season) hit the airwaves, he knew actor, David Boreanaz, could carry his own show. Thus leading to the ensouled vampire landing his own spin-off, which spanned for five seasons, encompassing not only new ideas, and some substantially creepier episodes than the pioneer series, but brought both new faces together with familiar ones.

From March 10, 1997 to May 20, 2003, a pop culture phenomenon, that was considered to be one of the best television shows to hit the air waves, graced us on the small screen.

Beginning its ninth (possibly its final) season, Booth and Brennan are stronger than ever. Finally, getting together and making a baby in the last two seasons was the creative jolt this show needed to keep long time fans happy. Not only that, but also this season is the season where marriage finally happens unless producers are teasing us in a cruel way.

The Avengers: Movie Review

Wow just wow. Those were the first words that I could utter after watching the midnight premiere of Marvel’s The Avengers directed by Joss Whedon. After two and a half hours of just being blown away with constant amazing scenes I was literally spent. The amount of comic book fanboy moments in this film was insane and they were all so amazingly well done.

The Cabin In The Woods: Movie Review

by Jesus Ibarra

This Joss Whedon production has finally hit theaters, after being stuck in limbo due to MGM’s money woes, for a year. I was extremely excited to see Whedon and his collaborator writer and the film’s director Drew Goddard take on a horror movie after being burned out by so many sequels, remakes, reboot, reimaginings, and general gore fest that the horror genre has de-evolved into.
