by Joel Rickenbach, Columnist and Critic
(May 02, 2013)

(May 02, 2013)
Here is the second TV Spot for Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel. After watching this and the trailers, it is difficult not to set your expectations pretty high. Thankfully, Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns always knocks me down a notch when I think about Supe

Man of Steel Soundtrack Sampling
by Robert T. Trate , News Editor
(April 30, 2013)
John Williams made us all believe a man could fly with his Superman theme. What will truly be interesting is if Hans Zimmer can do the same. No one should have to follow in the footsteps of John Williams. With that being said, if I had to pick one composer

by Rob Vaux, Mania Critic
(April 30, 2013)

by Robert T. Trate, News Editor
(April 28, 2013)
Maniacs, Pain and Gain won the weekend. Last week’s big Sci-Fi film, Oblivion, fell to the second spot. Pain and Gain taking the number one spot is great for Michael Bay. That news is insignificant compared to Iron Man 3. That’s right Maniacs, Iron Man
Mania Review: Pain & Gain
by Rob Vaux, Mania Critic
(April 26, 2013)
Pain & Gain gives us a glimpse into Michael Bay’s soul. It’s not for the faint of heart. The music is dark and often terrifying. There are dildos. And severed toes. And night vision goggles. All the women are strippers, all the men are steroid-laden me
