LATE NIGHT'S ORIGINAL ROCK N' ROLL SHOW IS BACK!
Back in the early '70s, the only ways for fans to see their favorite rock stars were in concert or in the pages of magazines like Rolling Stone or Creem. So the idea for The Midnight Special, which ran on NBC from 1972 to 1981, came to creator Burt Sugarman in a light-bulb moment. A veteran of producing Grammy Awards telecasts, Sugarman was frustrated by the network's lack of programming after the The Tonight Show -- the screen reverting to test patterns at 1:00 a.m. A next-door neighbor to Johnny Carson, Sugarman recognized this TV wasteland for what it was: a place where he could cater to an audience that craved seeing its latest rock 'n' roll heroes brought into their living rooms every Friday night. And, with the pilot, which premiered at 1:00 a.m. on August 19, 1972 with Johnny Rivers rendition of "The Midnight Special," Leadbelly's classic gospel song, he did just that.

The Midnight Special's eclectic lineup reflected the show's commitment not only to rock, but also to mirroring the Top 40 melting pot of the 70s, including genres such as folk, blues, R&B, soul, country and pop. For much of the run, the show was presided over by the legendary, gravelly-voiced DJ Wolfman Jack (Brooklyn-born Bob Smith), who was recruited as a permanent announcer and made his debut in Episode 2; he would go on to become the living symbol of the show and a powerful draw for performers who were more than happy to share the stage with him. A variety of guest hosts appeared along with Wolfman Jack over the years including such '70s music icons as the Bee Gees, David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Loggins and Messina, Richard Pryor, The O'Jays, Electric Light Orchestra, KC & the Sunshine Band, plus frequent host Helen Reddy. Viewers and members of the studio audience were treated to one-of-a-kind concert events direct from The Midnight Special stages featuring anyone from Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Bee Gees and Earth, Wind & Fire to Electric Light Orchestra, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Jim Croce or John Denver, performing their biggest hits live. Additionally, The Midnight Special featured the day's top comedic talents, such as Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal, George Carlin, Andy Kaufman, Steve Martin and Freddie Prinze, among many others.

This September, the TV DVD archivists at StarVista Entertainment/Time Life will bring consumers back to the '70s for the seminal, groundbreaking live music TV show on DVD, featuring extensive bonus features! THE MIDNIGHT SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION, available exclusively online at MIDNIGHTSPECIALDVDS.COM beginning August 12, 2014 will be released in a beautifully-packaged 11-disc set, featuring nearly 5 hours of specially-produced bonus features and a 32-page collector's book.

My Top 10 Favorite Stories Written by PETER DAVID

As a young comic fan, I remember Peter David as being the first writer I became aware of.

I think every young comic reader goes through a phase of not associating real people with crafting the stories that are blowing their minds.

But I do remember PAD as being the first writer to capture my attention enough that I felt compelled to not only find out who he was, but what else he has written.

Last weekend I was the moderator of a panel at Dragon Con in Atlanta with Peter David as one of the panelists, and I was reminded of the pure brilliance of the guy and his influence on me not only as a comic reader but just as a fan of good stories.


For a while now, I have indeed had a list of my top 10 Peter David stories. This top 10 list is purely, 100% subjective. It’s complete based on what’s struck me over the years and it’s pertinent first and foremost to my tastes.

But worry not!

As a man of impeccable tastes, I’m certain this list is as near definitive as definitive can get.

Among The Panels: DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1, CLOAKS #1, HAWKEYE VS. DEADPOOL #1 & More!

September 5, 2014, 2:00 pm
$

0
A world of four color magic arrives every Wednesday.

Stories and adventures of heroes and villains, good versus evil.

Tales that entertain and excite by talented writers and artists.

Here are my thoughts Among The Panels.


The Names #1
Writer: Peter Milligan
Artist: Leandro Fernandez
Publisher: Image
Price: $2.99

The Names #1 is a mystery/thriller set in the corporate world of Wall Street. A secret organization forces successful trader, Kevin Walker, to commit suicide. Their weapon is a man only known to us by the moniker; The Surgeon.

The writer, Peter Milligan, has crafter a very strange and unhinged tale of deceit and murder. It doesn’t seem like any of the characters in this story have a moral code what-so-ever.

I remember reading a couple of issues of Constantine that Milligan wrote and I was not impressed, so I went into this title not expecting much.

After Kevin is forced to kill himself, the mystery falls on his 20 year younger wife, Katya, to figure out.

A lot happens in this issue that is kind of confusing. We understand that Kevin is rich, divorced, and has a new wife. His son, from his previous marriage, has selective mutism for some reason and has a seemingly sexual crush on his step-mom. We get all of this sporadically through 22 poorly thought out pages.

The rest of the story revolves around Katya’s search for the truth. After hearing that her husband’s medical records had been changed to imply that he was suicidal she is convinced that something is going on. She then receives a strange quasi-futuristic phone that plays a very stereotypical “if you are hearing this, than I am dead” sort of message complete with a coded message hidden in his final departing words.

I don’t really know who is more to blame for the confusion Peter Milligan or artist Leandro Fernandez. The vision of their world is dark and warped. The panels felt slapped together and the art is heavily inconsistent from page to page. The writing seems to not give much to go on for Fernandez and when there is, Fernandez fails to deliver. When a man is forced to jump out a window there are many different ways to portray this. Reiterating his last words to his wife while he is falling to his death is a very cliché and boring way to do it. It’s also probably not a good sign when I like the concept art in the back better than the art that made it into the actual book.

That being said this title fails on multiple fronts but it really falls in the writer to pull the premise off. I understand that most of America hates the #1 percent right now but this is not the right way to get people attached to a title. The evil is what you expect and the reveals are nothing shocking. Using the F-word repeatedly doesn’t make you stand out anymore. Using it sparingly and naturally to help with the drama of the situation is way better than just putting it in to make the story feel “more adult”.
I have been reading a lot of new titles lately and this one falls pretty low on my list. It’s not anything special but it’s also not the worst thing out there.

Score: 2 out of 5

Legendary Releases First Two Geoff Shaw Covers For A TOWN CALLED DRAGON

EVERY TOWN HAS ITS SECRETS. THIS ONE BREATHES FIRE.

Legendary Comics transports you to A Town Called Dragon. On the surface it seems like your average all-American tourist trap, but this snow-covered town hides a burning secret. After centuries of lying buried within the depths of an icy mountain, the world’s last dragon egg finally hatches – endangering modern life as we know it. Now an unlikely group of dangerously unqualified, ordinary citizens must band together, battling the elements – and each other – to slay this menacing creature.


In issue #2 (hitting stores in October), enter the town of Dragon, Colorado — a mountain community desperately trying to exploit their fantastical folklore in a hopeless attempt to lure in tourists. But the town's true legend is greater than they could possibly imagine...

When a German excavation team accidentally unearths the world's last remaining dragon egg, an ancient beast is born, destroying everything in its path. Now this menacing creature threatens to wipe the entire town off the map. How can one group of ordinary citizens stand against a monster when they can’t even stand each other?

The first issue (of five) written by Judd Winnick with art and cover by Geoff Shaw arrives in stores/digital on September 24, 2014.

After the jump, check out the cover to issue number two,available in October.

I once read that not liking The Beatles is like not liking the sun.

That’s one of my favorite quotes about The Beatles.

It pretty much sums up my feelings about them.

They have been my favorite band since I was about 6 years old and they mean the world to me. I see their influence everywhere and it makes me eternally happy.


When I see children singing along to their songs, I know that they’ll last forever.

Of course, The Fab Four didn’t just hold sway over music. They’ve influenced just about everything on the planet.

These are just two movies that show heavy influence from The Beatles.

MUSIC VIDEO MONDAY: TV On the Radio- Happy Idiot

After a three year hiatus, TV On the Radio has a new album coming out (Seeds out Nov. 18th) and a new single (Happy Idiot) which seems poised to become a permanent fixture on my, and everyone else's playlist. As many fans know, the long break between their last album, Nine Types Of Light, and this one stemmed from both the death of their bassist, Gerard Smith, in 2011 from lung cancer, and years of touring and putting out albums non-stop.

While a break of this duration could have spelled doom for the band, it seems that, in this case, it has been an advantage if Happy Idiot is any indication of what the new album is going to sound like. And I for one an thrilled, Happy Idiot is New Wave-ish, loud, melancholy and danceable...a combination that seems absolutely perfect for a Monday (or any day when you are not in the mood to face the world without some sort of battle cry).

So check it out after the break, but don't blame me if you spend the rest of the day singing it out loud to your co-workers, that's just the price you pay for awesomeness.

If you actually know what I’m talking about, then congratulations; you’re kind of old.

If you don’t, then I’m going to try my best to explain and hope you can understand.

There I was, with Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern, on our way to see the dead body of our friend, when the TV over at Milton’s Electronics started playing a commercial I have never seen before:

Right Now by Van Halen started to play.  A hodgepodge of video clips was shown; a baby on a beach reaching for the sky, a DOS screen, a rat on a wheel, a guy on a bike…

What was I seeing?  Some sort of glimpse into the future?  Where the Fates revealing what the world will be like in 20 years?

No; it was a commercial for the newest, extremest, freshest, clear soda.


I turned to Gordie and, in my best Richard Dreyfuss impression, told him that, “I must try this new, extremely fresh product.”  I never knew what happened to those tools, but whatever; they can suck a duck.

While those idiots where having a weird adventure with Keefer Sutherland, I was sitting in front of my TV and twisting open a Crystal Pepsi; the future of soft drinks.


Why was it the future of soft drinks?

Death of Wolverine #1 (of 4)
Writer: Charles Soule
Artist: Steve McNiven, Jay Leisten
Colorist Justin Ponsor
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $4.99


Peer pressure can be a wonderful thing sometimes. Especially when the nice lady at the comic book store plops this issue down in front of me with a look on her face that clearly indicated that my freedom of choice has been taken away from me.

Originally, I had zero interest in this series. The way death is handled in comics has slayed any sense of apprehension or mourning for a character in this situation because they always come back to life.

Charles Soule and the rest of the creative team on this issue did a stellar job at not only making you care about Logan’s time left with us, but also with sharing the pain and anguish he will endure on the way out.

Every page, panel, and word balloon increases the stakes for our Canadian hero. His healing ability is gone and, as a result, there are other issues plaguing him, one issue being the fact that if he chooses to fully defend himself, his date with the grim reaper will only come that much sooner. The artwork is truly something to behold and every image meant something and did a great job of executing those crucial moments.

Reed Richards’ cameo is an example of how the important moments carried such weight and the way he delayed telling Logan the final piece of bad news was drawn with detail and burden.

My favorite scene in the book comes when Nuke arrives on the island to take out a seemingly declawed Logan, only to find a plethora of bodies from the likes of A.I.M., The Hand, and other groups that came before him. The greatest thing the creators accomplished was making the reader feel every ounce of pain ravaging through Logan’s body, leaving you genuinely worried about him. I can’t remember the last time I was concerned for a super hero’s safety.

I think this speaks volumes to how well Death of Wolverine was produced because while he will be resurrected at some point, the road along the way towards his finale already boasts a sense of bereavement that is gripping and chocked full of exciting possibilities.

Score: 5 out of 5

Locke

Lionsgate / Released 8/12/14
Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) is a successful businessman dedicated to his loving wife and children. But tonight, everything will change, as a series of phone calls triggers a shocking chain of events - and unravels Ivan's seemingly perfect life over the course of a single, unforgettably intense car ride. Extras include commentary.

Last Word: Locke is a brilliant film.  Shot, for the most part, entirely in a BMW SUV on the M25 motor way in the UK and starring Tom Hardy. Locke is basically a one-man play about a man who has the life and family. He is dedicated to the building and construction of grand structures and has meticulously crafted the world around himself the same way one would build a skyscraper. After a phone call, on the night before one of his most important concrete pours for the UK's tallest building his world begins to crumble around him. He spends the entire film on the road trying to get to a fateful destination that will forever change the direction of his life.

Locke is another in a very long line of films showcasing just how brilliant an actor Tom Hardy really is. From the very real struggle of spending 8 days, nine hours a night alone in a car on the highway shooting the film to the filmic struggle of receiving and making a litany of phone calls from colleagues and loved ones and having to react to only a voice over a speaker, Hardy, truly shows you a man who is having one of the most difficult days in his life. I was riveted for the entire 85 minutes of this film and not only did I feel for Hardy, but I truly felt sympathy and anger for his wife, Katrina (played perfectly by Ruth Wilson), his scatter-brained but loyal colleague Donal (Andrew Scott, known for his amazing Moriarty in the BBC show Sherlock) and Bethan (beautifully played by Olivia Colman best known for her roles in Hot Fuzz and Doctor Who) as the catalyst for Ivan Locke (Hardy) to make this unfortunately timed trip to London.  It is a great testament to the writing of this film that not only do we feel every emotion of Ivan Locke as his world unravels but that we really feel for these disembodied voices that we hear over the crappy car speakers on his cell phone. From the utter disbelief of his boss and colleague to the upheaval of his wife and children's world when it is revealed what and why Locke has seemingly up and abandoned his life and family.

Writer and director Steven Knight (writer of the visceral and critically acclaimed Eastern Promises and Dirty Pretty Things) has created a world and slowly demolishes it around Locke. What makes this hardest to watch is that, Locke, is ultimately doing the right thing but in doing so he is sacrificing the family and work he loves more than anything. It is the struggle of a man faced with a moralistic "rock and a hard place".  Along with the terrific writing and acting, the direction and cinematography are perfectly crafted to make you feel the monotony and sometimes tunnel vision-esque of a long nights drive, coupled with what is happening to Locke throughout the film the shallow focus and blurred headlights and speeding by street lights heighten the disorientation of the viewer right along with Locke as he makes his journey to London to "right a wrong". I love films that take the "one-man-play" or "two person play" idea and interpret it for film, whether they are adapted from actual plays or are original ideas. The idea of having an actor or actress on screen for a whole film and carry the film with just themselves is just amazing, to me, when it is pulled off well. It shows me that they are capable of creating and being a believable character that you sympathize and root for. I knew, from his previous body of work, that Hardy was capable of this but he really, really blew me away in ways I didn't expect. It was refreshing to just watch him act. If you are looking for a brilliant film to go see with phenomenal acting, I can not recommend Locke enough. (– Benn Robbins)


Hercules

Disney / Released 8/12/14
Taken from the gods as a newborn and adopted on Earth, Hercules is just an awkward pillar of strength trying to fit in. What he wants most is to impress his father Zeus. When Hercules discovers Hades' sinister plot to take over Mount Olympus, he goes from zero to hero and, with the help of his pals Pegasus and Phil, discovers that real strength comes from the heart. Extras include making of, sing-a-long and music video.

Last Word: Disney's take on the Greek myth reminds plays a bit more like Superman than Edith Hamilton with a generous helping of Vegas Elvis on the side.  It's one of the rare Disney films in recent memory with a male protagonist and no time is wasted in trying to make it an entertaining romp.  With a light touch, some humor and monsters aplenty, Hercules might be one of the studio's tertiary properties, but it's understated charm easily makes it a must see.  On a critical note, supplemental features are disappointing and dated.

Muppets Most Wanted 

Disney / Released 8/12/14
Two frogs! One pig! Intrigue! Music! Mayhem! Muppets!  There's plenty of fun for the whole family as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Animal and the entire Muppets gang head out on a world tour. But mayhem follows the Muppets, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper. Now Kermit is behind bars at the mercy of prison warden Nadya (Tina Fey), and the World's Number One Criminal, Constantine - a dead ringer for Kermit - has taken his place! As Constantine and his dastardly sidekick Dominic (Ricky Gervais) plot the robbery of the century, they are pursued by Sam Eagle and Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell). Will Constantine get away with his nefarious scheme? Will Kermit escape in time to save the day? Packed with dozens of guest cameos and some great new songs, Disney's Muppets Most Wanted is the most hilarious, most wanted Muppet movie ever. Extras include featurettes, music video and extended blooper reel.

Last Word:  In just one movie, Muppets Most Wanted returns the iconic characters back to where they were prior to their 2011 reboot; tired and clichéd.  Once again bloated with celebrity cameos, this emotionless sequel puts the characters second fiddle to Gervais and the supporting cast.  Ultimately, who cares. The movie isn't funny, the gags less so and the meandering plot distances itself from the Muppets' greatest attribute: joy.   The Muppeteers themselves provide disappointing performances; in the past I have been able to accept the new performers handling the classic characters.  With Muppets Most Wanted I spent much of the film thinking, "that's not Kermit..."  The opening musical number about how the sequel is never as good as the original seems less than a gag and more like a warning shot prior to the film's release. 


The Blacklist: Season 1

Sony / Released 8/12/14
For decades, ex-government agent Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by as "The Concierge of Crime." Now, he's mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: he will help catch the world's most elusive criminals under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth "Liz" Keen (Megan Boone), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it's going to be one hell of a first day on the job. Extras include commentary, behind the scenes and 22 episodes of Beyond the Blacklist.

Last Word:  One of last seasons most addictively entertaining series, The Blacklist succeeds simply because of one thing: James Spader.  After a career of playing swarmy and overconfident narcissists, Spader has found a character that not only indulges those traits, but also truly makes him the smartest man in the room at all times.   The result is a series that plays out like the peeling of an onion, with each episode revealing layer after layer; with a villain in the hero role and a narrative filled with suspense, twists, turns, and sinister agendas, The Blacklist is highly recommended.

Tarzan 

Disney / Released 8/12/14
Disney's magnificent adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' story begins deep within the jungle when baby Tarzan is adopted by a family of gorillas. But his "Two Worlds" collide with the arrival of humans, forcing Tarzan to choose between a "civilized" life with the beautiful Jane and the life he shares with his fun-loving friends and his gorilla family. Extras include deleted scenes, featurettes, and music video.

Last Word:  Disney tarnished this otherwise gem with unnecessary songs and comic relief (from Rosie O'Donnell no less).  For the very first time, Tarzan was realized as only previously imagined; with the physical attributes of an ape and with the dexterity and confidence of moving through the jungle (by vine, tree, etc) as someone intimately familiar with his surroundings.  Animator Glen Keane brings Tarzan truly to life.  The voice cast which includes Tony Goldwyn, Glenn Close, Lance Henriksen, Wayne Knight, Minne Driver, and the previously mentioned O'Donnell all deliver solid work.  My issues with O'Donnell are with her character, a mowhawked ape who serves as a more of a distraction than as a smart addition to the narrative.  Nevertheless, there's plenty of action and fun (and some great animation with the title character) and Tarzan is definitely recommended.
