I don’t know if Steven Spielberg is going for some kind of Guiness record for Biggest Blockbuster Turned Around In Shortest Amount of Time, but his new version of War of the Worlds is coming damn soon. The movie came together this summer and will be out next summer, and while there’s still extensive location … Continue reading
Let’s get this out of the way: Jessica Biel is completely and amazingly hot in person. Just gorgeous. Poke your eyes out sexy. It turns out she’s also really nice and funny. And a little bit weird. That’s rare with the pretty girls I have interviewed – they tend to be a little vapid, or … Continue reading
Let’s be honest, fans of hairy shapeshifters are not exactly inundated with quality werewolf movies. Ever since David Naughton became a hungry canine in American Werewolf in London, the only decent werewolf flicks have been low-budget entries that skulked in under the radar like Dog Soldiers and Gingers Snaps (and Wes Craven’s appropriately titled Cursed … Continue reading

Star Tony Jaa … Continue reading
Notes on SIGNS – Possibly my favorite of the spoofs. I love the way Lewis draws aliens (readers of our old Dead Squirrel Magazine can attest) and I think a film so homey and small is harder to do that ones with stuff that allows for broad comedy. Plus, I think this is a perfect … Continue reading
Notes on X2 – This turned out to be harder to spoof than we thought. First of all, it’s a really good movie and secondly… we didn’t want to have to cater too much to hardcore fans. I think that this is probably the most disjointed of our strips, probably because we bumped right up … Continue reading
