My random selection from the local library – ‘Spiderman and Red Sonja’. Not my usual choice as I generally despise Spiderman. But hey, it’s Red Sonja.
And how was it? Artistically, very cool indeed. Beautiful images all around – can’t fault it. Conceptually? Groovy. Spidey’s plunged into Red Sonja’s D&D universe, as is a decent chunk [...]
Long time no see, y’all. Here to order you to check out Codehunters.
Ben Hibon has done an amazing job with his animated short, Codehunters. Absolutely beautiful, and a must for cyberpunk/steampunk fans out there. At first glance it reminded my of Jamie Hewlett’s work (Gorillaz/Tank Girl) and there are touches of Peter Chung in there [...]
I went to see ‘Mirrors’ last night. A damn fine horror. Low body count but high shock factor, with a gruesome death in there that I’ve simply never seen before. All the good freaky mirror tricks, plus a few new ones. Add the superb manipulation of suspense, and the macabre mise-en-scene (a burned out department [...]
I went to see Max & Co this week. A cute story by Christine Dory and Emmanuel Salinger, and very cool stop animation. The mise-en-scene is a nice mixture of steam-punky technology and alpine small-town idealism. And there’s something I really like about French with subtitles. Just sounds cool.
While it’s essentially a kids film, it [...]
Zombie’s scare the bejesus out of me. I read in a dream book that Zombies represent a disconnection from feelings. If you are feeling numb, depressed, cold inside, or if you are completely consumed by a certain feeling, like hunger or fury, then you are the closest to being a zombie – at least according [...]
Thought I’d give this a quick mention as it’s very cool. I used to make Ascii pictures of things on my old Atari 600XL back in the eighties. These guys have elevated it to an art form!
Click on the picture to go an see Star Wars, animated in Ascii. It rocks.
Since I’m in a cycle of reminiscence about the SF influences of my childhood at the moment, I thought I’d share Starfleet with you. I remember being so excited about it as a kid. The baddies were scary, with centipede mind control devises on their heads, not to mention their creep, insectoid ships.
And for some [...]
Now, does anyone else remember Samurai Pizza Cats? A groovy parody of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Personally, I loved it. It was anarchic and had a manic creativity that TMNT lacked.
The Pizza Cats, Speedy Cerviche (pronounced “ser-vee-chayâ€), Polly Esther, and Guido Anchovy, were a pizza delivery team during their down-time, and the rest of the [...]
A while back I watched A Scanner Darkly. While this is a good enough film (and yet another cinematic adaptation of a Philip K Dick novel), it’s certainly not the best film I’ve seen about fractured identities and perspectives that are warped by drugs or technology. Total Recall has much more fun with the
topic. Based [...]
Here’s a TV series I loved as a kid in the early eighties. Mighty Orbots was similar to Starfleet in that it involved a bunch of different machines that joined up to make one big, kick arse robot. But in this case, the machines are the characters themselves – Tor, Bort, Crunch, Bo and Boo. [...]
