COMIC BOOK RESOURCES

A solid comic news site, with a couple columnists whose columns I make an active effort to read each week. Updated daily.

NEWSARAMA

The one stop for most comic book related news, though their message boards are a tad depressing as the incessant whining and complaining of the fanboys is ever present. Updated daily.

COMICS CONTINUUM

A solid little comic news site, that covers all it's bases. Usually the news site I visit when I'm in a hurry as they do a solid job of encapsulating the information. Updated daily, except Sundays.

DIAMOND COMICS SHIPPING

The site I use to find what comics will be arriving in stores on Wednesday. Updated on Monday evenings.

MARVEL CHRONOLOGY PROJECT

An exhaustive list of pretty much every appearance made by every Marvel character. Invaluable if one is looking to assemble the issues that detail the Big Wheel's reign of villainy.

D.C. CHRONOLOGY PROJECT

See the above site decription except insert D.C. characters in the place of Marvel, and Stone Boy in the place of the Big Wheel.

DARK HORIZONS

My favorite site for movie related news, as it's pretty straight forward in it's delivery, and largely devoid of fanboyish rumors. Updated daily.

AIN'T IT COOL NEWS

Pretty much the one stop site for all movie related news and rumors, and the message boards are often times more fun to read that the stories, which are written by longwinded reporters. Updated daily.

BOX OFFICE MOJO

Want to see how much dough a movie has pulled in, or how badly a film has tanked at the box office, this is the site for you. Updated daily.

INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE

The online encyclopaedia for movie buffs, as pretty much every film, actor, and member of a film's production staff can be found on this site

THE FOURTH RAIL

Comic reviews by two long time reviewers. Cover most of the mainstream titles, and do a fairly solid job of it, though they both have pretty similar tastes, so their reviews feel a bit uniform. Early reviews on Mondays, and more reviews appear on Thursday/Fridays.

THE X-AXIS

My personal favourite online reviewer, as he delivers reviews that are smart, amusing, and leave me jealous that I was unable to express my praise/misgivings regarding a comic in such an intelligent sounding manner. Updated every Sunday.

SILVER BULLET COMIC REVIEWS

A second home for my reviews, as well as about half a dozen other reviewers, half of whom I disagree with, but if nothing else the sheer variety of differing opinions makes for a fun reading experience. Updated daily.

DVD VERDICT

Wondering if that DVD should be part of your collection, or if it's just a rental? This site is a fun, fairly comprehensive DVD review site that I make regular use of.

DVD FILES

Their catalogue of DVD reviews looks to be a little more expansive, but it's a harder to navigate this site, and many of their reviews make for dry reading as they get bogged down in the technical details.

ROGER EBERT'S PRINT MOVIE REVIEWS

I find myself disagreeing with his recent reviews more frequently, but still I've been a regular reader of his reviews for the better part of a decade, and this isn't going to change any time soon. Updated every Friday.
