The Trench Reynolds Report

  • Trench Reviews Captain America: The Winter Soldier

    ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS MAYBE?*** With most superhero movies you have to sacrifice something vital to the comic book that doesn’t necessarily work on the big screen, this movie did not have that problem. Almost everything from the comic translated seamlessly to the movie and the minor things they did change worked for the better. As far…

  • Trench Reviews Gotham

    ***SPOILERS ABOUND*** I liked it. I thought the casting of Donal Logue as Harvey Bullock was brilliant and the guy who plays Penguin is great as well. My only problem with the premiere episode is that jammed too many references into one episode. One of the great things about Arrow is that they limit those…

  • Comic of the Week: Action Comics Future’s End

    MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED In my entire life I’ve never cried at a movie or about a book or any work of fiction for that matter, until this past week. Believe it or not I was legitimately moved and almost got choked up over a comic book. But I’m getting a head…

  • Comic of the Week: Daredevil #7

    I haven’t done a comic of the week recommendation in a while because frankly, nothing has really blown my skirt that much lately in the world of comics, until today. Mark Waid’s run on Daredevil has been nothing short of excellent and issue #7 of the current run should be looked upon as a classic…

  • Falcon to become Captain America

    Not to be outdone with making Thor a woman, Marvel Comics has also made it known that the superhero known as The Falcon will be replacing Steve Rogers as Captain America. Apparently the reason this is newsworthy is that Falcon is black so we’ll have a black Captain America. I’m sure there will be some…

  • Thor to be a woman

    So Marvel announced today that the mantle of Thor will be taken up by a female character soon. I’m taking a wait and see approach to this because the last time there was this much nerd outrage at Marvel Comics it was when they replaced Peter Parker with Doc Ock as Spider-Man and that was…

  • Fallout: Black Sabbath

    For the past year or so I’ve been playing a lot of Fallout: New Vegas. It’s a very in-depth game that you never play the same way twice. There’s an obscure Black Sabbath song called ‘When Death Calls’. Now every time I hear that song I hear the words as ‘When Deathclaws’.

  • Review of Ronnie James Dio This Is Your Life

    I had such high hopes for this album. I should have known that it wouldn’t be able to live up to the hype. For those of you who don’t know ‘Ronnie James Dio This Is Your Life’ is a tribute album to the late Ronnie James Dio. With sneak previews of songs by Corey Taylor…
