Author: Anne Rice Published: 1989 Publisher: Ballantine Books, USA This ain’t Karloff. This ain’t Lee. This ain’t Fraser. This is Anne Rice. Sensual, horrifying, romantic and imaginative are words that automatically came to mind when I read this as a sexually repressed 15 year old in the 1990s and it still hasn’t diminished in it’s … Continue reading

Dir.: Curt Geda Starring: Kevin Conroy, Will Friedle, Angie Harmon, Dean Stockwell, Tara Strong, Arleen Sorkin and Mark Hamill By far, one of the most daring DC animated films to date not just thematically but universe wise, the “Batman Beyond” franchise may not have as much recognition as its original predecessor, but it is not one … Continue reading

Dir.: Brandon Vietti Starring: Jensen Ackles, Bruce Greenwood, John DiMaggio, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Isaacs and Wade Williams Thank you Judd Winnick for making a generally unlikeable character (of your own making no less!) into one of the most fascinating villains in the Batman Rogues’ Gallery EVER. “Batman: Under The Red Hood”, despite it’s short … Continue reading

Dir/s. Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski Starring: Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Dana Delany and Stacy Keach Hands and wings down, one of the very best Batman movies ever made, live action or animation. Impeccably animated, masterfully acted and overall brilliant artistically and dramatically. I regret not going to see this freshman effort when it was … Continue reading

Dir. Guillermo Del Toro Starring: Federico Luppi, Marisa Paredes, Irene Vesedo, Eduardo Noriega and Fernando Tielve A beautiful ghost story, a tightly-wound chiller and an intelligent contemplation of what separates the living from the dead, Del Toro’s “The Devil’s Backbone” is certainly a strong contender for one of the greatest ghost movies ever made, perhaps up there … Continue reading

Dir.: Roland Emmerich Starring: Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Tom Wilkinson and Jason Isaacs Historical and cultural sensitivity? LOL, that shit is for PUSSIES! Bring on the badass Colonials, mincing villainous Brits and all the canon fodder in between! Oi, Roland Emmerich. You meant well I suppose but you need to pick up a … Continue reading

Dir.: David Cronenberg Starring: James Spader, Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara-Unger, Holly Hunter There are many ways of getting off and Cronenbergs’ demented odyssey into mortal fatality is no exception. With a gifted cast, a gritty yet at the same time dreamy style and overall sensation of dread and erotica, Crash is a whole film that … Continue reading

The 1990’s was the golden era for historical epics and many of these films, whilst based on actual historical figures and events, were often romantic retellings of these events with the British Empire/Crown being the primary villains and the heroes being noble warriors who were often Scottish, Irish or Daniel Day-Lewis. Rob Roy is one … Continue reading

Dir.: Ang Lee Starring: Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliot and Nick Nolte I found this one to be a worthy addition to the wide and varied lore of Bruce/Hulk. It’s not what people were expecting, but it serves as a fine allegory for the power of human negativity and the redemption of a willing … Continue reading

I am a little late in my write up, such is life though. Broadchurch has now wrapped up it’s second season, and it will be back for a third with David Tennant and Olivia Colman. So these final two episodes wrapped up the murder trial and revealed what really happened in Sandbrook. The lead up … Continue reading

A little late in reviewing this episode, I blame my brain that totally forgot about the review heh. So this episode was an excellent one, focusing on the repairing relationship between Ellie and Tom, the troubles facing Jocelyn and Sharon, Beth and Mark’s relationship drama and what really did happen with Sandbrook. This episode tackled … Continue reading
So this weeks episode was a lot better than last weeks, and it certainly gave us a lot more development. The emotional heartstrings were certainly pulled. We made more ground with Sandbrook and things are going to get very heated next week with the Joe Miller trial. First up we had the reunion (brief) of … Continue reading

Yes I am a little late with this review, because to be honest this was not a great episode, nor was it overly memorable. I actually forgot about it until now. This episode continues on, focusing I felt more on Sandbrook than on Broadchurch. With Sandbrook we get more insight into that case, and my … Continue reading

Author: Alex Bledsoe Publisher: Tor Books Published: 2010 My little rendition of “The Girls With Games Of Blood” Behold, the inspiration of Patience Bolade. The talent of Laura Nyro really has not been matched even to this day. The woman was one of a kind and was taken away from the musical world far too … Continue reading
