THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 11: Cemetery Man

This is it. The last thing to see before you watch The Walking Dead tomorrow night on AMC. The 1994 Michele Soavi film is kind of like Buffy The Vampire Slayer for zombies. Rupert Everett stars as a cemetery groundskeeper who makes sure that the dead stay on his side of the gate. It has [...]

THE DEXTER MOTION COMIC: DEXTER THE EARLY CUTS

I thought this was pretty cool . . . A Dexter motion comic illustrated by two of the greatest comic artists of the past 30 years, Bill Sienkiewicz (“Elektra” and “Moon Knight”) and David Mack (who, along with Brian Michael Bendis, reinvigorated “Daredevi”), with voicework by Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall.  It will be available [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 10: Thriller

Continuing my salute to my second-favorite B-Movie genre (nothing tops women’s prison movies, of course) and the ramp up to the Halloween-night debut of AMC’s The Walking Dead T.V. adaptation of one of the greatest comic books of all time, I thought I’d go this time with one that influenced Adelard’s amazing black and white [...]

Comics Review: HARBOR MOON

First off, before I even talk about the horror graphic novel Harbor Moon (from Arcana Comics) I want to get a couple business items out of the way: (1) If you send me a link to an on-line comic, I’m unlikely to read it.  It’s the same with music submissions: I’m simply too busy and [...]

THE 12 DAYS OF ZOMBIES: Day 9: Fido

A small, independent film about a world in which humans actually won the battle against the living dead, and turned them into domesticated pets. I love this movie. You need to see it.  Here’s the trailer:

DUKE & THE KING-Long Live the Duke and the King

Remember that indie gospelish/folking/rockish band, the Felice Brothers?  No?  Well, you can be forgiven–the band wasn’t around nearly long enough.  But Simone Felice rose as part of Duke & The King (along with Robert Chicken Burke),whose 2009 debut, “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” was awesome.  Their sophmore release, is even rootsier and more soulful.  I mean, [...]

COMICS REVIEWS, IN SHORT

Fast reviews of last week’s comics! Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #5. Best issue of the series ever, due largely to the amazing artwork by relative newcomer Ryan Sook (of “Seven Soldiers”) and also because, finally, something relevant happened.  I get the sense that most of issues 1 through 4 are, and will be, [...]
