The Image Revolution (DVD Review)

Image-RevolutionIn 1992, Marvel Comics was the #1 publisher of comic books in the world, largely due to its dynamic artwork. At the height of this popularity, in response to what they believed to be years of mistreatment toward creative talent, a small – but influential – group of artists left Marvel Comics to form their own company, Image Comics. Led by the outspoken Todd McFarlane (Spawn), this group kicked off a revolution that not only changed the comic industry forever, but has had an indelible influence on mainstream pop culture that continues to this day.  But with great power came great turmoil, as Rob Liefeld (Deadpool), Jim Lee (X-Men), Marc Silvestri (Wolverine), Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon), Whilce Portacio (X-Factor) and Jim Valentino (Guardians Of The Galaxy) almost immediately began to unravel the very bond that united them.  Continue reading ‘The Image Revolution (DVD Review)’

Little Loopers (DVD Review)

Little LoopersLittle Loopers is a young teen-focused film that is not so entertaining for older crowds. Full of fart jokes and other juvenile jokes, it is kind of hard to watch for this viewer.

Hidden (DVD Review)

Hidden (DVD Review)A family has been hiding in an underground bunker for almost year as they live in constant fear of a dangerous entity that lives on the surface.  The story takes place in the small town of Kingsville.  Though they never really tell you which State it is, Alexander Skarsgard does try to effect a bit of a southern accent that sounds somewhat Virginian.  This is the kinda movie that relies pretty heavily on the big reveal of it’s titular villain.  And being that this is such a small film, there isn’t too much that I can say without spoiling it.  This is probably one of the smallest Sci-fi films I’ve ever seen.  And by small I mean most of the movie takes place underground in a space the size of two living rooms pushed together!
