Free Comic Book Day throwdown in Reisterstown

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Denise

Okay people.  It’s about that time.  In less than two weeks it’s Free Comic Book Day!  *flails arms around like Kermit*

Trying to figure out which store to go to…or which store to hit first?  Got a tip for you, thanks to the folks at Cards Comics and Collectibles; hit them up.  Because: Frank Cho.  Because: Adam Kubert.  Because: Steve Conley.

Yeah baby.  CC&C are the Baltimore Comic-Con folks, so it’s no wonder they’re getting some heavyweights in for FCBD.  And that’s about it for the acronyms for me today.

Read on for the full release, including exactly what kinds of shenanigans will be in store.  I think this is the year I gear up and make the drive to Reisterstown that day.  How about you?

From Geek for e — Movie Review: Oblivion

Posted on April 20, 2013 by Denise

As always, clicky on the hypertext title for the original piece!

Movie Review: Oblivion

Oh please, let this not be Vanilla Sky.  

That was the thought that ricocheted through my brain at the start of Oblivion.  With it’s sleek, hip visuals and promise of Deep Dark Secrets, I worried that it would be an echo of that head-scratcher.  I needn’t have worried.  Oblivion isn’t a retread of Vanilla Sky, it’s a retread of just about every other Sci-Fi movie you’ve seen lately.  It’s also a lovely way to waste a few hours.  Like a chocolate-covered pill from Miracle Max, damn if it doesn’t go down smooth.

In 2017, the Earth gets a smackdown from an alien race.  But all ended well, sorta; the humans won, but in order to do so we had to unleash the nukes.  So now the bulk of surviving humanity lives on Titan, the largest of Saturn’s moons.  A small handful of survivors are the “clean-up crew”, extracting what little viable resources earth has left for use in our new planetary digs.  How does war veteran Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) know that’s true?  Because that’s what he was told after a “mandatory memory wipe” a few years back.  Does anyone else think that’s kinda fishy?  That’s an affirmative, y’all.

Writer/Director Joseph Kosinski brings all the beauty and futuristic minimalism of his Tron: Legacy to this film.  He also brings along just about every sci-fi allusion you can think of.  “Look, that’s just like Planet of the Apes!”  “Whoa — that’s so totally Matrix!”  “Hey, don’t the ‘Scavs’ look like Sand Raiders mixed with Mad Max?”  “Oh, that’s so Fahrenheit 451!”  You’ll be thinking all that and more.  Because it’s true; this movie feels like a Frankenstein creation of many different bits and pieces of what has come before.

BEST Wins Sundance London Short Film Competition

Posted on April 18, 2013 by Denise

Hot off the presses from Sundance London! Wish I was there; the idea of hearing John Paul White of The Civil Wars perform live is enough for me to wanna hop a jet….

BEST Wins Sundance London Short Film Competition

Film by William Oldroyd to screen at Sundance London The O2, 18 April 2013 — Best, a five-minute film from Surrey filmmaker William Oldroyd, was announced today as the winner of the Short Film Competition for the second Sundance London film and music festival, 25-28 April at The O2. The film will screen as part of the official Short Film Programme at the festival, and Oldroyd will receive a three-night stay at The Langham, London as well as additional prizes.

The Short Film Competition was organized by a small team of Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication students, in collaboration with Sundance London organizers, including Sundance Institute, which annually hosts the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, U.S.A. To correspond with Sundance London’s location at The O2 in Greenwich, the home of Greenwich Mean Time, short film entries focused on the concept of time: ‘The Time is Now; a story that is about being immediate and in the moment.’ Submissions between three and five minutes in length were accepted.

The winning entry was selected by two juries on either side of the Atlantic. The first included: Kate Kinninmont, Women in Film and Television; Chris Collins, BFI Film Fund; Freddie Gaffney, Ravensbourne; Dave Calhoun, Time Out; and director / screenwriter Kat Lo. A second jury, organized by Sundance Institute, included: John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival; Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival; and filmmakers Francesca Gregorini and Roger Ross Williams.

 In Best, with one man’s wedding moments away, he and his best friend confront their future.Oldroyd said: “I am privileged to have my short film presented in my home city as part of this year’s festival. There is no better champion of international, emerging film makers than Sundance Institute, and I am grateful for their endorsement and support. I’m really looking forward to meeting the other participants and glad that Best will now get a wider, more diverse audience.”

Groth said: “The other jurors and I were delighted to find in Best a succinct yet moving story that so cleverly exemplifies the tagline ‘The Time is Now.’ Terrifically framed images as well as stellar performances bring to life a story that impressively manages to be tender, raw, visceral and heartbreaking in under five minutes.”

In addition to Best, finalists for the competition were: Double Take, by Sam Hodges; Fill Me In, by Sebastian Thiel; Kickoff, by Zoran Trajkovic / Pet Genius Productions; Outsiders, by William Wirrow; and What’s Past is Present, by Jason Robbins. All finalist films, including Best, are available for immediate viewing at http://competition.sundance-london.com/films/2013/

Extranjero, a short film from Daniel Lumb and Crinan Campbell, was the winner of last year’s Short Film Competition at the first-ever Sundance London.

Tickets for all Sundance London films, panels and music performances are now on sale at www.sundance-london.com. Music performers include Peaches, Gregg Allman and John Paul White of The Civil Wars, and British Sea Power. The film programme, made up of 21 feature films and nine short films, includes the International, European or UK premieres of films from the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, including several award winners.

From Geek for e — Movie Review: 42

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Denise

As always, clicky for the original piece!

Movie Review: 42

For me, 42 is the answer to the universe.  But for baseball fans, 42 is the answer to their personal universe, one where amazing athletes run around a grassy field and whack white balls with sticks of wood.  It references a man who took a giant leap into Major League Baseball and changed the way the game was played.  The man is Jackie Robinson, and besides being a poster boy for positive change, he happened to be a damn fine ballplayer too.  42 the movie is the story of Jackie Robinson’s rise from the Negro leagues into the Major Leagues.  It’s a fitting tribute that’s entertaining, and even when it seems a bit too spitshined, it manages to shine a little light onto the real man that has become so legendary that his jersey number alone is enough.

Not like it was easy.  After World War II, the start of what we all now know as Modern American Life came on at full throttle.  And it was all about mom, apple pie and baseball.  But our national pastime had a shameful side; the “color line” that kept minority players out of Major League Baseball (and the Minor League affiliates).  It’s incredible to me in this day and age that so many people didn’t seem to care about the whole “separate but equal” way of life.  Well, at least not if you were white, it seemed.  One white guy did care though; Dodgers exec  Branch Rickey (played with teriffic “you kids get off my lawn!” orneriness by Harrison Ford).  That sounds like a completely made up name, but back then you apparently needed a cool name to work in baseball (see: Kenesaw Mountain Landis,  Happy Chandler, and — I’m not making this up y’all — Urban Shocker.)

Rickey decided that in order to move baseball forward (and get a tasty bit of the African American dollars spent on leisure activities) he needed to hire an African American player.  After doing a bit of scouting, he decided upon Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman).  “I’m Methodist.  He’s Methodist.  God’s Methodist.”  Hey, sounds good to me too Rickey.  Robinson has some understandable hesitation at first, but decides to take the leap into MLB by playing for the Dodgers’ minor league team the Montreal Royals.  Before too long he was upped to the Dodgers.  Yaaay!  But not everyone loved the idea.  Robinson came up against all sorts of opposition, from fans, other teams and even his own teammates.  And 42 chronicles the struggles Robinson went through to change opinions and play his game.

Be it Hollywood glamor or recreation of actual games, 42 gives good baseball.  If only today’s games were this exciting!  Director/screenwriter Brian Hegeland (Mystic River, A Knights Tale) is able to keep things fresh and entertaining.  Does every scene hit a home run?  No.  But there’s more good than so-so here, and plenty of cheer-worthy moments.  The man with the worst job of it is the always entertaining Alan Tudyk (Suburgatory, Firefly) as racist asshole Ben Chapman.  Chapman, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1947, his ability to scream racist obscenities at Robinson was truly horrific.  Tudyk slings the same type of insults, and though he found it difficult, his performance is impressive.

Boseman as Robinson gives good character as well, though l couldn’t help but wonder how much more I could have learned about Robinson the man if Hegeland had chosen to open up the film to Robinson’s real life instead of focusing almost entirely on Robinson’s profession.  As Robinson’s wife Rachel, Nicole Beharie is the picture of the understanding spouse, but she (along with everyone else) is strictly in the back seat here.  The only other character that gets screen time enough to really make an impression is Ford; as Rickey he’s a cigar chomping bigger-than-life executive that will stop at nothing to get Robinson into his League.  Rickey also plays the part of office father to Robinson, and the scene where Rickey tries to console Robinson after the latter has taken a particularly hideous level of abuse is poignant.

With April 15th now known as Jackie Robinson Day in MLB, it’s the perfect time to catch 42 and see the reason why this number means so much to so many.  And after this film it might just mean more to you too.

Reviews from Geek for e: Evil Dead and Jurassic Park 3D

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Denise

Shoulda had these up earlier.  But I had a busy long weekend (of avoiding my laptop).  As always, clicky for the original piece!

Movie Review: Jurassic Park 3D

Yes.  I know what you’re thinking.  “Why, Denise?  Why?”  I’m guessing that Universal Pictures wanted to add a little dino action to the ever-growing list of films that are being re-done in 3D.  After the likes of 3D/IMAX showstoppers like Avatar, Final Destination 5 and Life of Pi, it’s true that Jurassic Park doesn’t have the visual chops that current CGI-laden cinematography have to offer.  But damn if Jurassic Park doesn’t give us something else; heart.  Try as they might, the 21st Century films can’t quite put their fingers on the pulse of a movie.  It’s lovely to remember a time when action films had characters you truly cared for, and a plot beyond showing you Kewl Stuff.

Harken back to 1993.  Western Europe begins the EC, Bill Clinton starts his second term, a gallon of gas was just over a dollar (and we were all still bitching about it), and two guys — Stephen Spielberg and Michael Crichton — brought us dinosaurs on the big screen.  The story about a man who wanted everyone to see real, live dinosaurs (and who had more dollars than sense) was a sensation, with special effects so spectacular they still stand up today.  And when those dinos break free of their enclosures?  Everyone felt a chill.

But how many trips to Isla Nublar does one need to take?  For me it’s innumerable, as I have the Blu-Ray box set of all three JP films.   It’s definitely worth it to see Jurassic Park up on the big screen again.  And, it’s been 20 years; there’s a whole new generation that haven’t had the pleasure of seeing humongous dinos in the dark of a multiplex.  Fancy that.  Jurassic Park may be every bit the dinosaur that it’s characters encounter, but it’s still every bit as fascinating.  All in all it’s glorious to see this movie back on the big screen, and it’s a treat for those able to head out and give it a look.

Movie Review: Evil Dead

Evil Dead is here y’all!  Horror fans everywhere are nerd-gasaming all over the place.  It’s an ugly sight, because we don’t do quiet very well.  But I’m here to tell you that all that jumping around, panting and drooling is totally justified.  Evil Dead brings it, rocking old-school 80s horror and 21st Century savviness in equal measure.

 For moviegoers who aren’t up on their horror film history, here’s a list of the films in the Evil Dead franchise:

 * The Evil Dead (1981) — scary with bits of humor.

* Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (1987) — an even mix of humor and horror.

* Army of Darkness (1992) — more humor than horror, but it gave us the classic line “This… is my boomstick!”  For which the nerd world is eternally grateful.

* Evil Dead (2013) — today’s primary topic of discussion.

 There’s also a short film, Within The Woods, that Sam Raimi made in 1978 that got the ball rolling.

 Okay, with me?  Then let’s get to the task at hand.  Which is me saying that if you’re into horror films, you’ve gotta see this.  Seriously.  Run out now, see it, and then come back.  I’ll be here waiting.

 Why am I so amped about this film?  Because it does what 99% of all  remakes/re-imaginings/shameless ripoff films fail to do; it gives the old-school fans a wink and a smile while keeping newbies entertained.  That’s the stuff right there.

 Plus, there’s blood.  Lots of it.  TONS of it.  It literally rains down from the sky during the climax.  It’s so over the top that it becomes another awesome bit of FX to enjoy.  I’m not saying that you should drag your nearest 10-year-old out to see this, unless you want to scar that puppy for life.  But for those of you that ook out on the red stuff, think of this as Dead Alive…but in the woods, and much creepier.  (And I’m sure Peter Jackson won’t hate me for saying so, because let’s face it; Dead Alive is awesome because it goes from gore-tastic to hilarious.  On purpose.)

 On to the hardcore critic-ness.  I’ll discuss the movie, and talk about how it compares to the original.  Then I’ll tell you all the stuff I like about this film, and the very few things that didn’t rate superawesome.  Let’s get started.

“Best of March” pics from the Ghastly Awards

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Denise

GhastlyAwards_mainlogo

Hi y’all!  It’s that time of the month.  No, the other one; the time when I post what I and my fellow Ghastlies have chosen as our favorite horror comics from last month.  Well, actually we picked ’em before the very end of the month, but our choices stand.  Without any fruther ado, take it away press release!

Ghastly Awards – March 2013 Update

Horror comics are becoming more and more frequent in our reading culture, and the Ghastly Awards are here to recognize, through Horror Comic submissions, those that shine the brightest. We encourage all Comic Creators to take the time to head over to www.ghastlyawards.com and submit your work for 2013 Ghastly Award Nomination consideration.

Creators please remember that you can submit your Horror Comic work through out the calendar year! For the month of March 2013 the judges are recommending you take a look at: 

Hack/Slash #25 (Image Comics) – This is it!! For those that have followed the series from the beginning, middle or end this is now the official final issue in the Hack/Slash series. Thankfully for the long time fans Tim Seeley did not disappointment. Cassie and Samhain have their final face off and with all the bloodshed that has been going down Cassie becomes a one woman slashing machine as she battles Samhain to the death! As a huge Hack/Slash fan this final issue runs through every emotion you could have for this series. Seeley keeps the story on an emotional roller coaster and the art by Elena Casagrandre is some of the best with certain panels I am sure to become iconic pieces in the Hack/Slash world. Whether your an avid fan or a causal fan this series is a must for horror fans and this last issue shows you what can happen when the final girl in a horror movie gets the final say! – Spaced (http://ghastlyawards.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f51ac4cf9fe0ba947e26eebb&id=10eae481ec&e=94edbb70a8)

Todd the Ugliest Kid on Earth #3 (Image Comics): Framed and arrested for the murder of several neighbourhood children, Todd – a kid so ugly he needs to wear a paper bag over his head – must learn all the various prison rules. Meanwhile, on the outside, police chief Hargrave accidentally stumbles upon the real Maniac Killer while searching for a bathroom. Balancing horror, humour and social taboos such as child murders is no easy thing to do, but writer Ken Kristensen and artist M. K. Perker have done so perfectly with Todd, a book so wickedly funny there isn’t time to be offended by the graphic subject matter. Issue 3 is the tamest so far, but that doesn’t make it any less shocking, especially the scenes set inside prison where sweet and naïve Todd is taken in by some nasty inmates and shown the ropes. If nothing else, the issue contains a handy Jail Glossary explaining terms such as Cho-Mo, Bum Beef and Blanket Party.  – Pedro Cabezuelo (http://ghastlyawards.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4f51ac4cf9fe0ba947e26eebb&id=3406a937a3&e=94edbb70a8)
Hoax Hunters #8 (Image): I’ve got a soft spot for this funky, funny mix of Scooby Doo and Ghost Hunters.  Especially since the hunters in question are all (well, except for token “normal”, Jack) all supernatural themselves, and are trying to cover up actual phenomena by solving the case…and coming up with a phoney-baloney reason why this wasn’t what you think yo saw.  In #8 our intrepid group find something that may be more than they can deal with.  Gnomes, demons and “Hoax Hunter Hunters” all circle around the quaint town of Hauncheyville as this particular storyline comes to an end.  Plus, we get a look at Jack’s past, and a big ol’ cliffhanger that hints at seriously strange times ahead.  Image is taking it’s “Night Stalker”-esque series and giving it a good shake-up.  Hopefully with the changes coming it’ll still be good fun, and not turn into X-Files Lite. – Denise Dutton (atomicfangirl.com)
Change #4 (Image): The screwed up thing about Change,  and I don’t mean this in a horror sense, because honestly there is no traditional, blood and guts horror in Change. The screwed up thing, and the reason I chose to review it for this months Ghastly round up is because psychological horror scares me worse than any other kind. And this comic book isn’t even a linear psychosis. It’s all over the place. None of the characters seem to be connected… or are they all connected?! The art lends a very unique and terrifying spin on comics. What makes this horrifying to me is that I feel like I’m watching Eraserhead and Pulp Fiction at the same time while simultaneously listening to Pink Flyod. That’s a terrifying experience to live through. Nothing is scarier than the feeling of losing your own mind; Change does this to its reader.  I’m going to read this several more times because I can also sniff out philosophical meanings behind anything and this comic is rife with it. And it seems hella creepy – Bree Ogden (agentbree.wordpress.com)

Mystery Society 2013 Special (IDW): The Mystery Society are on the case, this time traveling deep undersea to unravel a monstrous secret! Steve Niles revives Nick and Anastasia’s occult hunting Mystery Society team with this fast and fun one-shot issue featuring new artist Andrew Ritchie. – Steve Banes (http://thehorrorsofitall.blogspot.com/)

Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray #1 (Image): Ghost stories are hard to tell. You either have to hit all the tropes just right, or offer a completely fresh spin on the classic genre. With Five Ghosts, Frank J. Barbiere chose to go with the latter. The first issue offers an incredibly unique take on hauntings by turning the possessed Fabian Gray into an adventure seeking Indian Jones type who channels various ghosts who dwell within him. The artwork from Chris Mooneyham is striking and gritty and there’s more action in the first issue than most writers pull off in an entire mini-series. Five Ghosts has everything from samurai swords to evil wizards, what’s not to love? – Lonnie Nadler (www.Bloody-Disgusting.com)

Anathema #3 (Comixology): This is the third part of Rachel Deering’s Gothic, epic werewolf mini-series, and has Wes St. Claire taking over the art chores. The story twists and progresses into the frozen north, where more terrors await Mercy Barlowe, our lupine protagonist. Deering’s writing is dark, romantic, and exciting; I almost wish she had been writing for Vampirella back in the day and had Esteban Maroto at her disposal (though St. Claire handles the story nicely)! Her pacing and action is perfect and her dialog is believable, no easy feat when writing a serious period piece. This is currently only available on Comixology (for an extremely good price) and from Deering herself at Comic Cons. It’s a crime that creators as talented as those here have to go the extra mile and make sacrifices to get their work seen (while name-hacks have the world at their feet because they wrote something decent a decade ago), but please make the effort to check out Anathema and other indy product. This next generation of horror needs to be discovered! – Mike Howlett (http://eeriepublications.blogspot.com/) 

Rachel Rising #15 (Abstract Studios): How does this series continue to get better and better each month? I love this story from the top to the bottom of Rachel’s mothers coffin. The story just keeps getting deeper and deeper and creeping me out more and more. The artwork is beyond amazing because of it’s consistency. Plain and simple you should be reading this book. Terry Moore is still delivering excellence on all levels each month. It is no wonder it has been up for Ghastly Awards the past 2 years. – Decapitated Dan (www.decapitateddan.com) 

Creators and Publishers please make sure to go over to www.ghastlyawards.com to submit your books for 2013 Nomination consideration! More informaiton on how the submission process works can be found here http://ghastlys.blogspot.com/2010/10/submit-your-horror-comic-to-be.html

From last night’s TWD: Relaxing with Michael Rooker

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Denise

image

Because I can’t be the only one who tried to read it during the show, but failed. Love the parts about the owls and how he likes a good soak with a bit of coconut oil (and really, who wouldn’t?) It’s really cool to see that a man known for playing characters that are so rough – let’s not forget his amazing job in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer – is so grounded.

This awesome bit of 411 is from AMC. I in no way own it. Though if I had the money to buy stock in this station and/or show, I surely would.

Enjoy!

What Was I Thinking – The Walking Dead: Welcome to the Tombs

Posted on April 1, 2013 by Denise

image

Dammit that was a hell of a way to send off Season 3. Milton becomes a man (if only for a moment), Carl goes off the chain, and Andrea. Well. What have we learned, kiddies? DON’T TRUST COMIC BOOK CANON. For really.

As much as I enjoy Mad Men? I wish we had a few more episodes left of TWD.

:01 – Oh man The Governor is gonna fuck up Andrea. Oh wait – that’s not Andrea. Damn he’s gone peepee-kaka.

:04 – Andrea, bargain with a batshit psychopath, you’re not gonna make any headway.

:05 – Oh ho ho. Wow. That’s a twist. Milton, let’s see what you’re made…oops. Didn’t mean that literally, Gov.

:06 – Damn. The Governor ain’t taking the second death of his daughter well at all. So why not make more zombies? #crazypants

:11 – There’s a new sheriff in town. And his name is Carl Grimes. He don’t need no stinking badge.

:13 – Let’s all blow this joint! Laurie, you comin’?

:14 – Michonne, you’re a better gal than me. For real.

:14 – WE ARE FAMILY!

:15 – Tyrese! My buddy! You awesome, dude. Now let’s see if The Governor let’s you book on outta there.

:16 – It’s partytime! It’s partytime!

:17 – It’s like Escape From Alcatraz, but the opposite.

:20 – Oops, bible quotes. Gov, you fucked.

:21 – Milton is still breathing! Damn, that’s an Easter miracle. Sad that Milty has finally figured out the zombie plague. At the worst possible moment.

:24 – Talking Dead ad: love the Milton hashtag #TickingTimeBomb.

:26 – “I’ll buy a clue, Alex”: Tyrese.

:27 – Milton? Mil… Oh hey.

:28 – What Andrea should be saying: “I like having sex with crazy psychos. It’s what I do, Milton.”

:29 – Poor Milton. Learning the ways of interacting with humanity. Too late.

:30 – Meanwhile back at the prison, it’s Fight For Your Life time. Please don’t let our fearless band get decimated.

:31 – Carl. Dude. You may want to learn about the safety lock. Just saying.

:33 – A “Run For Your Lives” ad! Yaaaay! I was a zombie in last year’s ad. No, seriously.

:34 – WORLD WAR Z ad! Hellz yeah! I really hope this movie is even half as kewl as I want it to be.

:35 “We did it!” I doubt it. Not hating. Just stating.

:36 – Carl. Poor baby. Just freaked out. Like you wouldn’t have done the same thing.

:37 – A’yup. The Governor guns down his own. Batshit crazy. I have a feeling we’re not in Woodbury anymore, Toto.

:39 – Nice save, nameless cool chick. Live to run from zombies (and The Governor) another day.

:39 – It’s called finally getting what’s happened to the world. And in the case of The Governor, figuring things out is ugly.

:41 – Andrea. Working her toes. Or else.

:46 – FUCK YEAH APEHANGERS! Shameless Daryl swoon. Sorry.

:47 – How to teach your son ethics in the zombie apocalypse.

:48 – Ain’t no more law in this here town.

:49 – Beth the badass!

:49 – Yo, flannel zombie. What is that green shit you’re drooling? Keep it together.

:50 – Speaking of keeping it together, hey Milton.

:53 – EVIL DEAD AD WITH 60 SECONDS OF AWESOMENESS. Enough said.

:56 – Yay for Karen, the cool chick who played dead earlier!

:59 – Rick! Saving Andrea! Yayz! Yayz…?

1:00 – Michonne. Standing by her friend. Damn. Wasn’t expecting this. DON’T MAKE ME CRY YOU SONS OF BITCHES.

1:02 – Too late. *niff*

1:03 – Wow. This is one helluva canon twist. Shit.

1:04 – Wow. A buncha changes. Sumbitch.

Next season. Wow. Gotta wait until next season? Man. It’s gonna be rough. But questions, I have them:

* Where in the ever-loving Radio Edit is The Governor?

* How will the new “blended family” of Rick’s Tribe/Woodbury refugees work out?

* Is there any hope that something else went down besides what probably went down when Rick closed the door on Michonne and Andrea? Humor me y’all.

Onward, to the next bit of geekery! Til next season, stay zombie free!
