DVD Review: After Dark Original’s Fertile Ground
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
You know what’s worse than going on a vacation in a foreign locale, meeting new people, and meeting an untimely, and usually painful and messy, demise? Why, it’s moving into a house with a bad reputation, especially if it’s an ancestral home. And if you’re moving in because of financial problems, to win a bet or you need to make a fresh start, and it just happens to come available at a most opportune time.
And in Fertile Ground, Emily (Leisha Hailey – The L Word) and Nate (Gale Harold – Hellcats) do just that. The film starts out with a pregnant Emily having a miscarriage, and in her depression gives up her lucrative clothing design business.

Double your pleasure, double your fun?

“Can you feel it?”
“No.”
“But all the elements are there.”
“Then why can’t we feel it?”
“The project takes time.”
“But everyone else feels it.”
“I feel it.”
“Liar.”
“Seriously.”
“There, the way he tilts his head.”
“No. It’s in his eyes.”
“Well, maybe next time.”
If this exchange sounds creepy, imagine it with twins talking.

Whether or not you’ve been a fan of Thor since the beginning, joined our Norse god along the way, or if you’re new to the hero, this magazine will tell you what you need to know about both the movie and the comic books to enjoy his story.

Josephine and Daphne looking forward to warmer climates.
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor
What do you do when you and your musician friend just happen to be in a Chicago garage on Valentine’s Day 1929? And while you’re there some people stop by. People with bad intentions. With guns. And lots of bullets. Any you’re witnesses. My first choice would be to dress as women, join an all girl orchestra, and head to Florida. But that’s just me.
Oddly enough that’s what Joe (Tony Curtis – Spartacus), and Jerry (Jack Lemmon – The Odd Couple) decide to do when the witness a mob hit by Spats Colombo (George Raft – Johnny Angel) in Some Like it Hot.
