DVD Review: Lost Boys: The Thirst

“The Black Dalai Lama? Never heard of him. We’re keeping the cover.”

 

 

Lost Boys: The Thirst looks better than any straight to DVD movie I have ever seen. The few special effects worked, looked like a theatrically released movie and didn’t add to any cheesiness. The lighting, quality and all other visual components far exceeded my expectations. If you randomly walked in on any scene you wouldn’t get the “oh, I must have passed out watching the Twilight Zone and woke up during a Bruce Campbell-less SyFy original movie” feeling.

CC2010: Marvel Anime: Iron Man




After the Marvel Animation panel at Comic-Con 2009, I was overwhelmed with excitement about the Marvel Anime series. Iron Man, Wolverine, X-Men and Blade all done up with stunning art and stories by my all-time favorite writer, Warren Ellis. Eff yeah! After seeing the first episode of the Iron Man anime this year, my excitement largely trickled away.

Jeph Loeb Named Head of Marvel Television

    Jeph Loeb has officially been named the Head of Marvel Television. Marvel Studios proved themselves in the theaters with the release of their first project independent of other film studios, Iron Man. Now, they're setting their sites on television and hired the best man for the job. No stranger to comics or TV, Jeph Loeb could potentially bring Iron Man-caliber projects to the small screen. He has already proved himself as a producer/writer on both Lost and Heroes (don't worry, he had enough sense to get himself fired after the second season) and has already hinted at live-action Marvel superhero shows in development.

DVD Review: Flight of the Conchords: The Complete Second Season

The box has a clear outside sleave with only Bret and Jemaine on it, so you can put it on any DVD to create the illusion of New Zealanders flying over the content.


Flight of the Conchords
is one of those shows that, though many of your friends may be into it as well, still feels like it’s “your show”. The series is based around New Zealand’s comedy-folk-hip-hop duo, Flight of the Conchords, and their struggles to make it big (or play a paying gig) in New York. What sets Flight of the Conchords apart from other comedy TV shows is the plot-relevant music videos seamlessly intertwined into the story of each episode.

CC09 – Kevin Eastman Panel

It was upsetting to learn that the show that I thought of as my own in my formative years started as a joke. 25 years ago, Kevin Eastman co-created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a mockery of the ridiculous, over-the-top TV shows and comics of the day. Now a 47 year old father, he discussed the creation and legacy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as his current projects at his panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (which he has faithfully attended since 1986).

DVD Review: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Season 1.1

G.I. Joe may be solely responsible for the recent economic downturn. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Season 1.1 revolves around the G.I. Joes and their terrorist counterparts, Cobra, developing expensive new ways to either take over the world or prevent world domination. This is a great way to reconnect with the overly-aggressive little kid you once were or expose your own child to one of the building blocks that made you who you are. Your child will most likely be so inspired that he will grow up to join the army, only to realize that he is not allowed to dress in whatever eccentric garb he pleases while using a custom set of weapons that have been designed to match his over-the-top persona (this will inevitably lead to years of turmoil between you two).
