Batman Arkham Origins

The prequell to Asylum and city the long awaited new Batman games finds its home into my X-Box 360 now that I have beaten Diablo 3. It looks much darker than previous Batman games. Villians like Firefly, Blackmask, and Deathstroke the Terminator make up the main arc of bad guys in this awsome new Batman game.

Trick r Treat

Ever seen this movie if not then don’t worry it came and went so fast even die hard horror fans I talk to today still never saw it. Lets go back to 2006, The Writer of X-men 1,and 2 Michael Dougherty made the film and it got shelved by Warner Brothers after we were suppose to see it in theaters Halloween season 2007. Two years later it finally gets a release on blu ray and dvd. It has Anne Paquinn recently off of the X-men films a year before she would start True Blood. and Dylan Baker from Spider-man 2 and 3 and Kristen Bell recently finished with Veronica Mars and starting Heroes  Brian Cox also from X-Men 2  and Tahmoh Penikett still hott on Battlestar Gallactica at the time. All these actors were very well know in things fans loved why did the studio shelve it they didn’t know what to do with it. No one had done a successful film anthology movie in years and Showtime recently cancelled. We may never know why Warner Brothers does the dumb things they do any way.
The movie is fan tastic some of the best things in the film I cant even talk about without giving them away, the guide thru the film is SAM a small little something or other who appears in all the story’s. HE is basically the spirit of Halloween and he guides you thru the different time periods in your life around the Holiday from a young kid, thru those awkward teen years, to being a young adult in your 20s and then how you deal with it and snub the holiday as an old man.
Its more than just Michael Myers coming along and stabbing horny teenagers. This is the first Halloween themed movie in a long time that actually breaks down the holiday itself for what it is.
On the blu ray you get a commentary, an animated short about SAM, A FX comparison of the school bus scene, and a documentary on how the many traditions of Halloween started as well as cut scenes.
For a truly great comprehensive guide to the movie buy the book, Trick r Treat Tales of Mayhem, Mystery and Mischief. it goes thru the filmmaking process and gives you coll little bonuses like a comic version of Season greetings, pumpkin stencils Sam Halloween mask, the movie poster, post cards

Whats funny before we had the movie to watch this book had come out and a comic book adaptation by wildstorm, and we had the soundtrack. The fans wanted this movie Warner didnt feel the same way. We finally have it, fear net shows it 24 hours straight like TNT does with the Christmas Story every year so now we can al;ways watch it. Leading up to Halloween Fear net has little mini Sam cartoons. Check out one of the best Horror movies to come out this decade.

R.I.P. Lou Scheimer (1929-2013)

I was very sad to hear this I watched a lot of this guys creations in the 80-‘s like He-man, She-ra, The Gouhligans, Ghostbusters, The Batman Superman Show, Fat Albert and soooo many more

 

As animation veteran Tom Sito wrote on Facebook today, “Scheimer never stopped being one of the guys. He was passionate about animation and his fellow artists. It actually pained him to lay people off. In 1982 when the Guild held a city-wide strike to try and prevent all our work outsourced overseas, Lou shouldered a sign and picketed his own studio, because he agreed that work should stay in town. Lou never reneged on his promise to keep as many people working as he could. It is reassuring in this world when you see the good guys can still win. Lou Scheimer was a good guy. And I shall miss him. So Long Lou Scheimer, you did well.”

Review – Carrie

I am seeing this before Rock and Shock. I just dont have time to review it, so here is my buddy Dan Kimmel’s views on this remake we did or did not need.
Currently playing at Leominster Entertainment Cinema, and Black Stone Valley Cinema and where my other video hound buddy Garen Daly is having the Terror Thon, The Davis Square Cinema. But maybe you should go see something Garen is playing at the Terror Thon instead after reading Dan’s review.

NorthShoreMovies.net

With Chloë Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Gabriella Wilde, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell. Written by Lawrence D. Cohen and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Directed by Kimberly Peirce. Rated R for bloody violence, disturbing images, language and some sexual content. 100 minutes.

Remakes are not inherently evil, but there ought to be a reason for them. Since the original movie still exists and can be seen, why do we need another version of it?  That was the question before the makers of CARRIE, an adaptation of the Stephen King novel about the repressed teenage girl who discovers she has telekinetic powers which was memorably filmed by Brian De Palma in 1976.

For those new to the story––presumably the viewers this was made for––Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz) is a high school senior being raised by a mother (Julianne Moore) who is a religious fanatic. Mom believes sex is evil, thought she was dying…

They believe the…

Sleepy Hollow- Episode 4

Pam reviews Sleepy Hollow ep4

timewantsaskeleton

Who’s the monster of the week?

 

Not the horseman. Something more human.

Flashback time: Ichabod back in colonial days are looting a British ship and stealing a create. Then he is waxing poetic about his love Katrina who is lost in time. “Give in to nothing less than certainty when it comes to the matter of the heart.” He’s talking to OnStar employee Yolanda.

The episode picks u[p just where we left off last week, with Abbie just discovering that Jenny escaped. 

Jenny heads to the bar. She knows the bartender and she does a shot. Which is exactly what I would do. She picks up so “things.” A nefarious piano teacher discovers that Jenny has escaped and he and some cronies go into the same bar. Bartender draws a gun. Piano teacher flings him away like he’s a fruit fly.

Stacks of cash passport, guns, picture of her…

Deadbeat parents of the year

Dexter and Sarah Pezzini and Talia Ahl Ghul are the worse parents ever in the last five years if fiction.

Sarah—Gave up her daughter to live with mobster baby daddy Jackie Estacado aka The Darkness. Speaking with Ron Marz at Comic Con he said this was going to be fixed soon……

Talia—-Kept the secret of the child she claimed she lost from Bruce and her father Rash Ahul Ghul. She raised the kid in the league of assasins and then drops him off at Bruce’s door step and says train him to be like you, Nevermnd the fact his name is Damian and hes a psychopath.

Dexter—SPOLIER ALERT Dexter leaves his son Harrington in the hands of the psycho bitch he was boning and lets his sister be sent to a watery grave with dozens of other people hes murdered over the years. Then goes and lives as a lumberjack. I heard this was a bs choise by Showtime the producers were not happy and wanted Dexter to have a happy if not FINAL death.

What the fuck why do we write characters like this. I stopped reading Witchblade becuz they made this sucky plotline. Dexter had me fuming. Aaaghhhhh

Actor Zack Ward

Tonight on the show one of the guests of this years Rock and Shock Horror convention its Zack Ward (Transformers, Freddy vs Jason The Christmas Story) . He will be calling in to the show around 1230am est. We will also be talking about Sleepy Hollow and Shield.

BEDLAM

Written by Nick Spencer and art and covers by Riley Rossmo and Frazer Irving. The story of a serial killer name Madder Red who killed woman children men it didnt matter who he killed. He  desicrated their corpses and was a real fucked up psycho.
He disapears for ten years is cured of his madness and comes back claiming to want to protect the city he once terrorized.

The art fits the mood of the story in really graphic ways. Its like Dexter but more twisted and revolting. I been hooked into the TPB by Image comics after it was suggested to me by Thats Entertainment in Worcester MA.

If you want a real messed up villian turned hero story this is it.

Movie Review- Lords of Salem

My co host has her thoughts on Lords of Salem, you can compare them with mine at http://www.popcults.com The blu ray btw only has a Rob zombie Commentary on it nothing else. Very disapointing.

timewantsaskeleton

Written and directed by Rob Zombie, director of House of 1000 Corpses, Devil’s Rejects, Halloween and Halloween 2 and Haunted World of El Superbeasto. I will quickly give my opinion of those films: liked it, too rapey, good, not as good, I hate it. In his latest, he returns to his home city of Salem… and of course the only thing anyone knows about Salem: That someone once thought there was lots of witches there.

Plot synopsis stolen from IMDB- Heidi, a radio DJ, is sent a box containing a record — a “gift from the Lords.” The sounds within the grooves trigger flashbacks of her town’s violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the Lords back to take revenge on Salem, Massachusetts?

Man, radio people are the best. Should I give you the link to my show again? HERE

So, anyway. The movie begins with a coven…
