Grant Morrison talks to us about horror sci-fi comic Annihilator, the music of Multiversity, and more! WithAnnihilator#1 from Legendary Comics, Grant Morrison has once again teamed up with artist Frazer Irving. A good sport, he replied Ah, a day that will be remembered for millennia hence! I always felt that the guy inFlex Mentallohad a distinct Syd Barrett vibe. Ray is a bit darker. I mean, bizarre things would happen....
Mel Gibson took on a big movie star role with Ransom. We take a look back at Ron Howard’s 1996 thriller… The hunt is then turned around, quite cleverly. Come the half way point, the film lets go when it should be powering forward. The premise seems to be frittered away. Lets get the worst bit out of the way first though. The opening 15 minutes are galloped through, and rightly so....

Sailor Moon offers up meditations on identity and self-perception in this plot heavy installment. They both attract other people, either by their looks, personality, or both. And yet, thanks to first impressions, they cant stand one another. It reminds me of the central conceit of theBuffyepisode Hush. When people stop talking, they start communicating. This self-portrait that hangs in the gallery is how people perceive her, because its what she projects....
From BBC to Netflix, our binge pick of the week is the British crime drama, Happy Valley. I like my crime dramas the way I like my men: Gritty and English. Sally Wainwright (one of my favorite minds in the television world) has done it again. Ladies and gentleman, may I present you with her 10-episode series,Happy Valley. In the tradition of shows likeBroadchurch,Happy Valleyis essentially a show about a town....
However, this is not the case, particularly with DC comics characters. To learn more about Nicolas Cage as Superman, Joss Whedons Wonder Woman and much more, read on. It was Brainiac and the city [of Kandor] encapsulated. Their first idea wasSuperman Reborn a kid-friendly reboot with plenty of toy-based possibilities. Count us glad to have missed out on this one. Said demands became more and more ridiculous by the sounds of it, too....
In the midst of the space race he gave us a vision of the future. This was a future full of optimism. They would seek out other life forms and gather knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Gene Roddenberrys optimistic vision has enchanted audiences over the course of almost 50 years. This optimism is what has attracted so many people to the franchise. So no wonderDeep Space Ninehas always felt like black sheep ofStar Trek....
I watched every episode, usually twice because HBO runs their series forever. I like my vampires a little more sociopathic than the ones Charlaine Harris offers. I thoughtTrue Bloodcould cover that. Of course, that wasnt the point. But Ball had his own stories to tell, his own mythology to create. Some of the characters were very well suited for the screen. Some, not so much. But well never know because they never showed up for the party....
Universal Soldier began in 1992 before suffering from some tawdry sequels. Deveraux tries to stop him, and both of them are killed in the ensuing fight. Deveraux then starts to remember his old life, and goes on the run. The action is solid enough lots of early 90s explosions and stuff but nothing truly memorable. Ad content continues below The strongest points are actually Van Damme and Lundgrens performances. Van Damme deadpans surprising well, playing it as an ruthless but naive warrior....
Sony clearly has big plans for its Spider-Man franchise, but how will it pan out? So thats what we know. But what else can be inferred or speculated? The obvious place to start isSinister Six,as the biggest question is exactly which characters might appear. And the third villain already in the mix, Dane DeHaans Green Goblin, could go either way. And theres precious little to go on when it comes to plotlines for Amazing Spider-Man 3, either....
Ad content continues below Some would-be viewers,however, have taken issue withLucys premise. Even Luc Besson admits that the 10 percent brain power premise in Lucys pure myth. But its never the same 15%. I changed the reality a little to help the story. This is where the combined skills of a films writer, director and actors come into play. To Aint It Cools credit, Rogers highly-entertaining letter waspublishedin full. The Core does indeed spin, slightly faster than the Earth itself....
Said car is being driven by Ivan Locke, played by Tom Hardy. Were you aiming for the claustrophobia of a small theatre? While makingHummingbird, we tested the cameras by shooting from moving vehicles. Then we would view the test footage in a cinema, and I found it really good. So I wanted to put an actor in there, in that moving image. Then wed take a break, and do it again....
