During the development of Dragonball: Evolution, a ton of people were taking shots at the movie for their lack of casting Asian actors as the characters from the popular anime show. While...

Hello, all. Even though I write all of these posts from the heart, it’s rare when I just sit down and, as the old-school ’70s folk used to say, rap to you guys. I thought I’d outline the direction in which Moniqueblog is going: This website has always been about entertainment, and it’ll stay...

I’m branching out! Make sure to catch my sister Ashley and I on our new podcast show, The Geek and Nerd Show on blogtalkradio. Our first inaugural episode will be about how much we love Inception, Archie’s new friend Kevin Keller and whether Jughead is actually the first gay Archie Comics character, the craziness...

Just yesterday I wrote a post on how Cartoon Network is keeping up their alternative cartoon line-up with the additions of Regular Show and Sym-Bionic Titan. Well, it appears they’re getting even bolder by greenlighting MAD, a cartoon sketch show based on the same weird, satiric humor the magazine had. I’m not sure if I...

I’m glad that Cartoon Network hasn’t taken the power of cartoons for granted, what with their live-action shows. I can’t wait for Regular Show and Sym-Bionic Titan, two shows that seem to be continuing the trend of smart, witty, older than Y7 audience-aimed cartoons. Regular Show, created by J.G. Quintel, the former creative director...

Comics Alliance probably said this better than I ever could, but this issue was pretty doggone entertaining. I won’t go into my usual spill about the great glossy paper (no copy residue on my fingers!), but I’ll just jump into the story. Betty and Veronica get the hots for the new guy Ivan who...

Before I begin, I know many people throughout the U.S. and the world love Indiana Jones movies. My brother is one of those people. I thought I was one of those people until I actually sat down and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark for myself. I thought Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was...

As I said in the introduction, I admire the crew behind JQ:TRA for realizing that Indians are typically shown on screen in a stereotypical light and set out to change it. So perhaps it was only some of the time and money constraints that made season two…weird. The weirdest part–aside from the major character...

I didn’t review this show when it first came on, mostly because I was perplexed by it. It was a good perplexity, but still, I wasn’t sure how to take the revamping of the tried-and-true (at least most of the time) setup of Scooby-Doo. I may be a long-time Scooby-Doo fan,  but I did...

Granted I haven’t seen neither of these films yet (I’m planning on seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. the World sometime this week or this weekend, so I’ll have my two cents ready eventually), but from the trailers alone, the movies seem to reach my trailer opinions of it, which are that Scott Pilgrim is awesome,...

With the inaugural post of “Hadji Demystified,” it is fitting that I outline the basis of this on-going series because there is a lot to cover. Before I get into my spill, I don’t want to sound like I’m completely hating on WB and the JQ:TRA team’s work on the series, especially with their...

Archie Comics is keeping their storytelling game up with Jughead #202 and Archie #611, and I’m glad. In #202, Jughead, being obsessed with Film Noir movies, starts wearing a trenchcoat and talking like Humphrey Bogart. However, his obsession gets him involved in solving minor crimes around Riverdale, starting with Dilton asking Jughead to help...
