In college, I followed a local band (friends of my geeky D&D type friends of my roommate actually) who called themselves The Acoustically Bent. They had a decent sound and I watched a show or two of theirs. While they did a number of their own original tunes, the biggest crowd pleaser (and our favorite) [...]

Tales of Suspense Movie!
May 13, 2008 – 4:03 pm
I’ve already seen “Iron Man” in theaters and totally loved it. Just an all-around damn fun movie. But this isn’t a review of the flick. Instead, it’s pointing out something that I missed the first time I saw the movie. And something I will definitely be looking for the next time I watch it!
I’m not [...]
Watchmen Movie Soundtrack
April 15, 2008 – 1:08 pm
No, nothing official’s been announced, and chances are not many fans would even care about a soundtrack to a Watchmen movie. Heck, they may just choose to go with an orchestral score for all I know. But I rattled my brain and thought of what would make the perfect soundtrack to a Watchmen movie, keeping [...]
Avengers Ass-emble
March 27, 2008 – 12:56 pm
I seriously don’t know whether to laugh, cry or vomit up my bacon double cheeseburger right now. I just saw this trailer for Lionsgate’s next Marvel direct-to-DVD disaster. It’s the “next generation” of Avengers and it’s, well, just so awful on so many bad levels. Holy crap does this just look wrong. I honestly have [...]
The Dark Knight Rollercoaster!
March 21, 2008 – 3:58 pm
If you’re not already creeped out by Warner Bros. upcoming “The Dark Knight” flick, then maybe a roller coaster set in the middle of the movie will raise the hair’s on the back of your neck. Six Flags‘ Dark Knight Coaster is set to open in late spring, building up buzz for the movie [...]
I Really Want to Like the Hulk Movie
March 13, 2008 – 10:04 am
The trailer for the new Hulk movie just debuted and well, I really really really want to like it. Edward Norton looks great as Banner. The overall plot seems good enough. It seems to have a lot more action than that snoozefest Hulk movie from a few year’s back that I’d rather just forget. And [...]
Why Zack Synder is My Best Friend
March 6, 2008 – 1:10 pm
Yes, I’m skeptical about the “Watchmen” movie. How could anyone NOT be? But Zack Synder totally nailed Frank Miller’s “300.” And not only has he kept up an official Watchmen movie blog, but today he just released the first real photos of the main cast. And holy crap I cannot wait! Heck, I’ll even suffer [...]
Whiteout Movie poster!
August 3, 2007 – 12:28 pm
I had completely forgotten that someone was making a Whiteout movie based on the killer (no pun intended) mini series by Greg Rucka and Steve Lieber. Intriguing thriller type story with gorgeous art by Lieber (some of his best if you ask me.) Seems Kate Beckinsale’s starring in the lead as U.S. Marshall Carrie Stetko. [...]
Bad News Rorschach
July 31, 2007 – 10:14 am
Hurm.
Yeah. That’s bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-tarnished-gold Kelly Leak from the original, classic “The Bad News Bears” movie. And yeah, you’re looking at Rorschach. Though I guess instead of cracking baseballs over the right field fence, he’ll be using baseball bats to crack heads. Still don’t see it? Okay, how [...]
Watchmen Movie Machine
July 30, 2007 – 5:29 pm
If there’s one thing I wish I had gone to San Diego Comic-Con for (and yeah, there’s a lot more than 1), it’s to get my grubby little hands on one of these:
This movie promo piece was done by Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons himself. And if you haven’t seen it yet, the official Watchmen Movie [...]
