Torna Swamp Thing… in 3D?
no blood no foul | August 30th 2009 by Giuseppe Palmentieri
Swamp Thing, il personaggio creato da Len Wein e Berni Wrightson per la DC Comics negli anni ‘70, e rivitalizzato negli ‘80 da Alan Moore, ha già una discreta storia in pellicola alle spalle: è stato infatti protagonista di due film, Il mostro read more

The Spacetime Dossier | August 26th 2009
Today was a tough call, do I cover one of the finest series ever penned by the uber-author Alan Moore, or utter crap like Ikki Tousen or Tantric Stripfighter Trina? Admittedly, I do like reading fan service bullshit once in a while (and I *may* write read more
Rewatching the Watchmen
Bopping with Niall JP O'Leary | August 25th 2009
Worth Watching!I just realised that I never wrote a review of the film version of 'Watchmen'. Can't understand that as I had it all composed at the time. Having watched it again tonight, I repeat what I would have said (!), that is this is one of t read more
V for Vendetta (2005, James McTeigue)
The Stop Button | August 24th 2009 by Andrew Wickliffe
V for Vendetta is a film made by Americans about London. I mean, I can see how it’s all right, given it’s a big budget nonsense blockbuster, but there’s something so incredibly lame in the last scene of the film–I’m going to ruin it for you read more
Constantine (2005, Francis Lawrence)
The Stop Button | August 23rd 2009 by Andrew Wickliffe
Until the last minute, which introduces the idea Keanu Reeves is going to be narrating the film (which doesn’t start with him and has a number of scenes without him), I was going to say nice things about Constantine. I wasn’t even going to point read more
From Hell (2001, Albert and Allen Hughes)
The Stop Button | August 23rd 2009 by Andrew Wickliffe
I had no idea Heather Graham was ever a lead in such a high profile project. I knew she was in From Hell, but she’s got a lot to do–and with an Irish accent. I suppose it’s the best performance I’ve ever seen her give, maybe because her chara read more
Watchmen (2009, Zach Snyder), the director’s cut
The Stop Button | August 23rd 2009 by Andrew Wickliffe
This response will be double length. Well, double length minus ten words. Wait, twelve. No, fifteen. Well, you get the idea. Watchmen doesn’t get a double post because it’s good. It gets a double post because it is, as far as I can tell, the firs read more
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003, Stephen Norrington)
The Stop Button | August 23rd 2009 by Andrew Wickliffe
There’s no doubt Stephen Norrington’s a lousy director but he’s not atrocious enough someone should retire from acting because he or she had to work with him–and Sean Connery didn’t even get the worst scenes in The League of Extraordinary G read more
The Golden Age of Space
The Spacetime Dossier | August 18th 2009
This is one of those topics that make me smile - the Golden Age of Space. This concept was conceived back when people had little to no understanding of the real rigors of space travel and scientific understanding was poor. Other worlds had incredible read more

Fables of Deconstruction Part 1 - Planetary
The Spacetime Dossier | August 13th 2009
I may revisit this posting in the future, Planetary is one of those titles that like Watchmen, is so multi-layered and referential that it makes it extremely difficult to nail down all the nuances in one sitting. But in the meantime, for those who do read more
