The Path To Justice: FEELING LEXTASTIC

0
0

There are several characters in DC Comics’ stable of heroes and villains who will make their long overdue debut on the silver screen when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits theaters on March 25th. We will also be introduced to different versions of familiar characters with a new actor stepping in to fill the role.

Jesse Eisenberg will be the next contestant to play Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor. While the Academy Award nominee (The Social Network) has a diverse body of work on his résumé, the reaction to his casting has been met with mixed reviews.


Some are cautiously optimistic that Eisenberg will fit the bill. Others find the 30-year-old Eisenberg is too stark of a contrast to the older and more established actors who’ve played the part.

Then there was a vocal group of fans who were extremely let down when learning that Bryan Cranston wasn’t even offered the role after rumors had him all but confirmed. Plus, Director Zack Snyder’s “Wunderkind” description of this incarnation was hard for some people to swallow.


Old, young, hair or no hair, Jesse Eisenberg is tasked with making this mere mortal become the Man of Steel’s villainous foe.

There are many actors who’ve played a more traditional Lex Luthor.

Most of them found a way to bring the character to life whether his superior intellect shined, or his ruthless nature highlighted his unadulterated evil in various forms.

Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2), Amy Ryan (Capote) and Jemaine Clement (HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords”) put a comedic spin on evangelical fraud in the wildly funny adventure, Don Verdean, which features laugh-out-loud performances by Leslie Bibb (Talladega Nights), Primetime Emmy nominee Will Forte (TV’s “Last Man on Earth”), and Danny McBride (The Is the End).

From the writers of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre comes a comedy of biblical proportions. Hired by an ambitious small-town pastor to find sacred relics in the Holy Land, a self-proclaimed biblical archaeologist comes up short and his attempt to cover up his failure fuels a comic conspiracy.

What if the person next to you was a psychopath? Or your boss? Even your spouse?

This is the chilling possibility brought forth in QUANTUM NIGHT, bestselling author and science fiction legend Robert J. Sawyer’s newest novel. Following bestsellers such as Flashforward, Hominids, Calculating God, and Red Planet Blues, this is Sawyer’s twenty-third novel and his first in three years.

This brand-new science fiction thriller explores the idea of psychopaths not just being monsters—in fact, anyone devoid of empathy and conscience can fit the bill, and QUANTUM NIGHT suggests that there are as many as two billion psychopaths worldwide. In the book, readers are introduced to Jim Marchuk, an experimental psychologist at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg who develops a flawless technique for identifying psychopaths. Suddenly, however, the finger is pointed towards him, uncovering the fact that not only was he a psychopath twenty years ago, but that he was also responsible for horrific suffering.

After the jump, check out an exclusive excerpt of this exciting new book!

Double Feature Movie Show: IT’S A WITCHUNT

0
0

When witches are being brought up, there’s always something else going on.

Typically, it’s some sort of sexism or fear of the unknown. It’s always about paranoia.

Here are a couple of movies about witches that are also about so much more.


THE WITCH (2015)
Written and directed by Robert Eggers


The horror sensation that’s sweeping the nation!

That was silly, but whatever. The Witch is part of a (hopefully) new wave of horror that is more about mood and terror than it is about shock and jump scares. It’s a slow-mover that knows what to show and when to show.

Take your mind back to the days of the Puritans. The days when religion ruled the few white people who were in the New World…well, more than it does now. A family of six is sent away from their settlement in New England for reasons that our modern heads won’t quite be able to wrap around. They now have to live on their own on land that is, according to them, cursed. According to reality, it is probably just infertile.

Not long after they’re settled in, the oldest daughter, Thomsin (Anya Taylor-Joy), is playing peek-a-boo with the baby, Sam, in the field. We’ve all seen that part of the preview. She opens her eyes after three seconds and the baby is gone. Nowhere to be seen.

Sam is taken by a witch. Not a wolf. Not another human. A witch. There is no doubt about it.

The witch is shown in the moments after that doing horrible things to Sam. Horrible, awful things. Things that you may not believe you’re seeing in a mainstream movie.

Not super-graphic, but the suggestion and the aftermath are there and it’s terrible.

The rest of the film is the paranoia that pervades people who are isolated and refuse to trust each other even though they’re family. Everyone accuses everyone else of being a witch. It’s not until the last half hour that the true consequences of their paranoia come to fruition.

From the moment the movie started, I was all in. The Witch may not be the best horror film of the year, but it’s certainly a very good horror film. It’s a fairy tale without the happily ever after. It’s not based in full-on reality, but it has a very real mood and a very real sense of dread.

Stream On: What to Watch on Netflix in March

0
0

I don’t know about you, but my Netflix queue is looking pretty pathetic these days.

What used to be a bounty of TV shows, quirky comedies and indie dramas in now just Amadeus and Old Boy.

Somehow, over the last few months, my queue has gotten absolutely decimated.

Unfortunately, March seems to be more of a lamb than a lion, with only a small handful of great selections, including Daredevil season two and a slew of cool ass documentaries.


MARCH 1

Adult Beginners (2015)
Starring everyone you love from all your favorite basic cable shows comes a very mediocre comedy about midlife crisis.



Ahora o Nunca (2015)
Spanish-language rom-com about an adorable couple and their wedding from hell.


Aldnoah.Zero (Season 2)
AKA: ΛLDNOΛH.ZERO, A Japanese anime about the human colonies on Mars who have declared war on Earth.



American Pie Presents: Beta House (2007)
American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile (2006)
Straight-to-video sex romps whose only above the title star is Eugene Levy. Oh, so don’t get me wrong. Eugene Levy is the fucking man and I would lay down my life for the guy, but the man obviously needed to clear some gambling debts or he was being blackmailed by Rogue Pictures.

There is no other explanation here.



Before We Go (2015)
Chris Evans put down the shield for a hot minute and opted to take a turn behind the camera. In this directorial debut, Evans spends 90 minutes meet-cute-ing Alice Eve to piano music.



Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland (2016)
Comedy based on Spike TV's Blue Mountain State follows Thad Castle has he moves on to fame...you know what. I don’t care. I watched the trailer, and it made me sad. Here. Weep for the future.



El Desconocido (2015)
Bank exec is held hostage by a car bomb and is forced to follow a list of instructions from an anonymous caller.



Fresh Meat (Season 2)
Brit comedy from the fine makers of Peep Show, follows six Uni students who share housing together.



Frog Kingdom (2013)
An amphibian version of Brave, but instead of good writing, honest characters, or heart, it just has a bunch of shitty frog puns.



Good Burger (1997)
Before Kel set up residence on Saturday Night Live and people were whispering rumors of Kenan’s demise, there was this movie.


Groundhog Day (1993)
Big Bad Bill Murray doing what he does best: grabbing hold of an unusual scenario and making it his bitch. Just an awesome movie that is so damn good, it elevated a mediocre and strange rodent centric holiday to a national sensation. That is the power of the Murray.



Heaven Knows What (2015)
Uninspired drama that once again spotlights the evils of heroin and life in the big bad city.



Hot Sugar's Cold World (2015)
A look at the life of electronic musician Nick Koenig, whose eclectic tastes and methods have him wobble along the thin line between genius and madman. Documentary inexplicably contains a cameo from Neil deGrasse Tyson.



Narcopolis (2015)
Sci-fier that takes place in a future where recreational drugs are legal but controlled by Big Pharma. When a new illegal drug begins to make the rounds outside of Big Business, cops must find the source.



Road Trip: Beer Pong (2009)
Like the American Pie off-shoots, this direct-to-DVD sex romp only features original stars DJ Qualls and Rhoda Griffis in brief cameos, as if they are too embarrassed to be seen for too long.


Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Want to see a version of “Robin Hood” where you can pick out the good guys by their inability to pull off an English accent? And an angsty Christian Slater? Did I mention the terrible Bryan Adams love ballad?

The only reason to really watch this is for Alan Rickman (RIP), who is a delight as the over-the-top Sheriff of Nottingham.



Scarface (1983)
A movie where ever scene is classic, every line is quotable and every performance is unforgettable.



Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Not the greatest of the Star Trek pics, but a good place to start, if only so you can understand what’s going on in Wrath of Khan.



Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
This IS the greatest Star Trek movie ever made. Yeah. I said it.



The Young Kieslowski (2014)
Two college freshman get preggers with twins after doing the deed only once. A cautionary tale for anyone moving into dorms.



MARCH 2
For Grace (2015)
Documentary on Curtis Duffy, a one-man cooking machine whose focus on his craft won him two Michelin stars but cost him his family.



MARCH 4

House of Cards (Season 4)
Frank’s back, baby.



Lego Friends: The Power of Friendship (2016)
Just because it’s Lego, that doesn’t mean it can’t make pandering crap for girls too!



Louie (Season 5)
This much shorter season of the beloved FX show got cut because of drug use. Really.

There are bunch of stories about it. Here’s one. Here is another. Doesn’t matter because genius is genius.



MARCH 7

Cuckoo (Seasons 1-2)
Brit series about a middle class family whose overachieving daughter falls for an American New Age slacker with hygiene issues (Andy Samberg).



Halo: The Fall of Reach (Season 1)
Animated series based on the original book that explains the origins of Spartan 117.



Sin Filtro (2016)
Spanish-language comedy about a woman whose life as a human doormat comes to abrupt end after a visit to a Chinese acupuncturist.



MARCH 9

The Returned (Season 1)
US version of the French supernatural drama about the dead reappearing. Not a zombie drama in that they don’t crave brains or rot. Yet.


MARCH 10

Comedy Bang! Bang! (Season 4, Part 3)
More comedy, more bang.


Hateship Loveship (2013)
Kristen Wiig’s continues her to dominate the indie movie scene with one pivotal performance after another. In this turn, Wiig plays a painfully shy woman who becomes the target of a teen girl and her iPhone.



MARCH 11

Dinotrux (Season 2)
Following the footsteps of Robotix, Zoids, and Transformer Dinobots, this is another stab at the robot-dinosaur animated market, starring the Reptools, dinos who both battle other dinos and fix things.



Flaked (Season 1)
Will Arnett stars in this original Netflix series about a con artist self-help guru.



Netflix Presents: The Characters (Season 1)
Netflix’s new sketch series with Lauren Lapkus, Kate Berlant, John Early, Tim Robinson and Henry Zebrowski.



Popples (Season 2)
Holy shit, it’s the fucking Popples. These were stuffed animals (I use the term loosely) carried by the braid-suckers in my second grade class that would fold into themselves thanks to a pocket on their back. Directly caused the Great Hamster Folding Massacre of 1985.

A Netflix reboot of a crap ‘90s cartoon with zero charm. Here's the original just to prove how bad the source material is.



MARCH 12

Shelter (2015)
Paul Bettany goes behind the camera force his wife to stand in unflattering lighting in various New York alleys. Pic stars Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackie as a heroine addict and a Nigerian immigrant who fall for each other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QWudLnDyZw


MARCH 15

10,000 Saints (2015)
Asa Butterfield, Ethan Hawke Hailee Steinfeld and Emile Hirsch star in this coming-of-age tale set in ‘80s New York about a group of outsiders who form their own little surrogate family.



4Got10 (2015)
Man wakes up in the middle of the desert with no memory, $4 million in cash, a pile of corpses and the law hot on his tail. Stars...wait for it...Dolph Lundgren.



The Falling (2015)
Maisie Williams stars in this quirky Brit drama about a young girl in an all-girls boarding school whose student body becomes subject to strange fainting spells.



Final Girl (2015)
The hunted becomes the hunter in this turn-the-tables blah thriller about a young girl who is more lethal than she appears.



Finders Keepers (2015)
Documentary about a man who finds an amputated leg in a grill he bought at an auction.
Ok, I haven’t seen this, but Jesus, that logline make me want to watch the hell out of this pic.



War Pigs (2015)
Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke are America’s last chance against the Nazis as...Jesus Christ., really? Our last chance against the Nazis? What are we fighting them for? The bottom of the barrel?



MARCH 16

Are You Here (2014)
Owen Wilson and Zach Galifianakis star in this buddy road trip movie as a womanizer takes his barely functioning friend on the road to his father’s funeral.



Charlie St. Cloud (2010)
Zac Efron stars in this supernatural drama about a young man who is unable to move on with his life as he is haunted by the memory (and sometimes ghost) of his younger brother.



Gridiron Gang (2006)
Juvenile delinquents learn to believe in themselves when the Rock teaches them football.



Larry Crowne (2011)
Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts star in this romantic comedy about corporate downsizing and a midlife crisis. Hanks stars in the titular role as a man who trades in his 401k for term papers as he returns to school after getting laid off.



Promised Land (2012)
Matt Damon, John Krasinski (who penned the script), Frances McDormand, and Hal Holbrook star in Gus Van Sant’s small town drama about a corporation vs. locals over drilling rights.



MARCH 18

He Never Died (2015)
Horror comedy(ish) in which Henry Rollins plays an emo cannibal. Hijinks ensue.

Punisher! Elektra! Still not sucking!

Netflix gave us this because it’s my birthday. You are welcome, everyone.



The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show (Season 2)
Mr. Peabody and his pet human Sherman return for another round of time-traveling shenanigans.


My Beautiful Broken Brain (2016)
David Lynch produced documentary about Lotje Sodderland, a woman who began seeing the world, “like a David Lynch movie” after experiencing a stroke.



Pee-Wee's Big Holiday (2016)
Everyone’s favorite man-child goes on holiday for the very first time ever.

Seriously. I’m more excited about this than I am about Christmas. And it’s not because I’m Jewish.

‘Cause honestly, I’m sort of a terrible Jew.



MARCH 22

The Art of Organized Noize (2016)
A look at the Dirty South movement and its impact on hip-hop culture. Featuring Outkast, 2 Chainz, Ludacris, Future and Lil Wayne.



The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2015)
The message board reviews on IMDb are more fun than this movie.



MARCH 24

The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)
An American teen travels to China where he joins forces with ninjas to try and free the imprisoned Monkey King. Stars Jet Li and Jackie Chan because, yes.



A Promise (2013)
Rebecca Hall plays a woman who has an affair with her husband’s (Alan Rickman) student in this epic drama set in 1900s Germany.



MARCH 31

Bachelor Party 2: The Last Temptation (2007)
Another straight to video sex comedy, because apparently there was a fire sale on distribution rights of some sort. Arriving 30 years after its predecessor, the only note of this drek was that it was directed by a Project Greenlight finalist.



Fright Night 2 (2013)
Substandard sequel to the beloved cult favorite, this time with a lady bloodsucker.



Murder Rap: Inside the Biggie and Tupac Murders (2015)
Michael Dorsey’s intriguing look at the murders of Tupac and Biggie using police files and interviews.



Sunshine Superman (2015)
Fascinating documentary on Carl Boenish, “the father of modern BASE jumping.”




FOG! Chats With ANNA AXSTER, Co-Writer/Director of 'A COUNTRY CALLED HOME'

Interview conducted by Stefan Blitz
After more than a decade writing, directing and producing shorts, Anna Axster's first feature film, A Country Called Home has been released. Starring Imogen Poots, Mary McCormack, June Squibb and Axster's husband, Academy Award, Golden Globe and Grammy winner Ryan Bingham (Crazy Heart), A Country Called Home is a coming of age story which tells the story of Ellie (Poots), a young woman living in Los Angeles who learns that her estranged alcoholic father has died.

Having had no contact with him since childhood, she’s reluctant to make the effort to attend his funeral, but something draws her to the dusty corner of Texas where he spent the last years of his life. At first dismayed by the small town vibe, she’s soon intrigued by the people she meets, among them a distraught stepmother, her apprehensive son, a gutsy young musician, and a set of doting grandparents she’s never met. As she finds glimpses of the father she once knew, she also discovers a new attitude towards friendship, loyalty, and family.

Anna took some time to discuss the film, her collaborators and working as a female director after the jump.

Vicarious Gaming (Pants Optional)

0
0
Written by John Teehan
If you're like me, wearing pants is optional.

By that, I mean I'm a freelancer, I get to work from home, and I rarely have to Skype anything from below the waist.

Many think, however, that working from home means copious amounts of free time.

Not really.

Yes, we have very flexible schedules, but if you ask around, you'll find most people who work from home probably work more hours than office drones.

Still, no regrets... and no pants.

But given that we tend to work insane hours, we don't get as much gaming time as we'd like.

For those of us who enjoy a good pencil-and-paper RPG, it can be tough to schedule in the time.

We work weekends, we work evenings. We take a nap around mid-day. We also have families and other obligations to meet. We are lucky if we can find a bi-weekly game to squeeze in, or a board game night once a month.

Fortunately, it is still possible to allow RPGing and gaming into our lives vicariously because the Internet is a thing--particularly YouTube and Twitch.tv.

I'm going to share four opportunities to enjoy gaming as a source of passive entertainment. They're better than cat videos, and because a lot of what makes roleplaying great is storytelling, you don't even have to watch these videos.

You can simply listen as you work.

THIS MARCH, THE FUTURE OF WAR ARRIVES IN A
HIGH-OCTANE THRILLER STARRING TOM SIZEMORE,
MICKEY ROURKE, JOHNNY MESSNER AND JON FOO

A damaged homicide detective must prevent a grieving father from unleashing a "robotic virus" in WEAPONIZED, an action-packed thriller arriving on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD March 1. Ripped-from-the-headlines horrors meets 21st century weapons tech in this muscular sci-fi film featuring an all-star action cast with Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Black Hawk Down, Heat), Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Iron Man 2), Johnny Messner (4GOT10) and Jon Foo, star of the upcoming CBS series "Rush Hour".

After a blatant terrorist attack on the Pentagon, and the resulting new war on terror, private military contractor Kyle Norris (Sizemore) facilitates the development of a bio-mechanical weapons program by Professor Clarence Peterson (Rourke). The next-gen program allows soldiers to swap consciousness with a target, giving them temporary, yet complete, control. While the program was intended to combat terrorists and safe guard American soldiers, abuse has been rampant. Enter down-and-out Detective Walker (Messner), who unwittingly stumbles upon the failing bio-weapons program, and he's forced to fight to both shut it down and protect his young family from those who'll stop at nothing to keep things moving forward.

Timothy Woodward Jr., the producer/director behind the recent action films Checkmate, starring Danny Glover, Sean Astin and Vinne Jones and 4Got10 starring Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Vivica Fox and Johnny Messner, delivers a non-stop genre film that delivers both thrills and a shocking twist of an ending that'll keep audiences guessing until the credits roll. Taylor Cole ("CSI: Miami" and "The Glades") and Michael Paré also co-star; bonus features include deleted scenes.

"WEAPONIZED gave us the unique opportunity to combine fast-paced action with an intellectual scientific element that really makes you think. With the plot being set in the future, we were able to really use our imagination and create our own world, making the storytelling more exciting and challenging," said Woodward Jr.

Academy Award Winner Leonardo DiCaprio Stars In Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s
Cinematic Masterpiece – Winner of Three Oscars, Including
Best Actor, Best Director and Best Cinematography

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in one of the most talked about films of the awards season with THE REVENANT, arriving on Digital HD March 22 and on 4K Ultra HD Disc, Blu-ray & DVD April 19 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Taking home three Oscars including Best Actor, Best Director and Best Cinematography, THE REVENANT captivates audiences and was one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the year, garnering over $380 million worldwide at the box office.

DiCaprio gives “a virtuoso performance” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) in Oscar Winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s (Birdman) cinematic masterpiece. Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT follows the story of legendary explorer Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) on his quest for survival and justice. After a brutal bear attack, Glass is left for dead by a treacherous member of his hunting team (Tom Hardy; Mad Max: Fury Road). Against extraordinary odds, and enduring unimaginable grief, Glass battles a relentless winter in uncharted terrain. This “boldly original” (Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch) epic adventure captures the extraordinary power of the human spirit in an immersive and visceral experience “unlike anything you have ever seen” (Jake Hamilton, FOX-TV).
