Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn – Deluxe Vinyl re-issue available on Jan. 13th from Mondo.
From “Mondo” comes the original score for the classic film “Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn” composed by James Horner. This deluxe re-issue is pressed on 180 Gram 2XLP Mutara Nebula colored Vinyl, features breathtaking original artwork by Matt Taylor, exclusive liner notes by Devin Faraci, and has been remastered for Vinyl by James Plotkin.
The score for the first Star Trek film, “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”, was composed by Jerry Goldsmith. So needless to say, Horner had some big shoes to fill when taking on it’s sequel. Luckily for us, he wholeheartedly lived up to the challenge. I have always been a huge fan of the late great James Horner. You’ve probably heard his music from James Cameron’s “Aliens” in a bunch of movie trailers, or his unforgettable themes from the box office juggernaut “Titanic”. But my personal favorite, hands down, has to be his score for the Don Bluth animated film “The Land Before Time”. Maybe I saw it at JUST the right moment when I was a kid, but that music really knows EXACTLY how to tug on your heart strings. “Wrath of Kahn” is no different. Having one of the most heart breaking scenes in Star Trek history, this Vinyl release is a must have for any self respecting Trekkie or Trekker.

Usagi Yojimbo has been around for thirty-one years, literally as long as I’ve been alive, and it’s still going strong. That is a huge feat for a comic, as many series usually run start to finish in the span of several years, not decades. This duration is a testament to the quality of the work. No comic could ever hope to last this long if it weren’t stellar, as this series proves time and again. I’m not lumping this title in with old school super hero titles such as Batman or Spiderman. Those series have been around for long time, sure, but they are handed off from writer to writer, from artist to artist, and rebooted on such a regular basis that it becomes difficult to perceive them as one, continuous body of work. Usagi Yojimbo, however, is precisely that; one massive body of work created, written, and illustrated by Stan Sakai. 
Arriving by way of Blu-ray on January 12th, from Director Ciarán Foy (Citadel), Sinister 2 is coming to seduce your children to project film onto your wall and then gruesomely murder you while recording it. If you were wrapped up in the ancillary character of Deputy So-and-So, played by James Ransone (“The Wire”) from the first film, you are in luck, because he is the star of the sequel. And he is back to make right the tragedy of his friend Ellison Oswalt, who never even asked his name, and to end the chain of murders brought about to appease the sinister Bughuul. When So-and-So runs into a hitch in his plan to put a stop to the murders, he finds himself aiding the family of Courtney, played by Shannyn Sossamon (The Rules of Attraction), Dylan, and Zach, played by real-life brothers Robert and Dartanian Sloan. In a race against time and the viewer’s patience, will So-and-So be able to stop Bughuul from claiming more victims? 
I’m a bagpiper. Yeah I know, what the heck does that have to do with comic books, right? Bear with me as there’s a point to this. In the bagpiper community, we have a running joke as to how the rest of the world views our music. It goes something like this, “There are three tunes played on the bagpipes; Scotland the Brave, Amazing Grace and everything else.” That stereotype likely came about due to how so many tunes sound alike on the instrument. The same can be said of comic book publishers to the layman. There are three names in the comic book publishing world; Marvel, DC and everyone else. However, that ‘everyone else’ group puts out some of the most incredible stories in the genre.
With the proliferation and international appeal of electronic music it is hard to explain why such a fresh and ripe new movement hasn’t garnished more attention from the film industry. The first feature film directed by Max Joseph(

2015 was a great year for movies and it seems that most of them, or at least most of the good ones, are saved for December. I was busy catching up on films right up until New Year’s Eve. I may be a week late but better late than never when it comes to film. This list is technically my “Top 11 or 12” but I could have made it bigger but then that wouldn’t be efficient. There are quite a few surprises in store, as well. In any event – I give you my favorite films of 2015!

This year I probably got to see the least amount of films I wanted to at the theater. Such is the case with a full schedule of work, school and an Irish dance show. So what did the year bring us? We got revisits from popular franchises like Mission Impossible and Avengers, though for only the second in the series, Avengers: Age of Ultron felt tired and rather boring. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise keeps chugging away putting out better spy films than the famed Bond series. As for the bottom feeders, although I did miss out on the often criticized Fantastic Four reboot, I do have plenty to talk about as far as the duds that hit cinemas this past year. Without further fluff and rambling dialogue, I give you my best and worst of 2015.
