Every single day of the week, a new Graboid appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be as obscure as obscure gets. So read the news, read the reviews, … Continue reading
Welcome to week two of Thor’s Creature Comics Feature, the second in a three-part series which looks down the (recent) annals of Thor’s reviewing history to remind you of some of the best, the worst, and those inbetween comics which ever so conveniently fit the genres we’ve picked out. Just think of it as a … Continue reading
The first Fantastic Four movie, which ended up being way more fun than I ever expected, especially after suffering through as much of Taxi as I could tolerate, was originally slotted for a July 4th release date to take advantage of its title’s numericality (not an actual word). But Marvel’s first family flinched in the face … Continue reading
I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading

Brad Pitt is currently filming his adaptation of the book The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (which I anticipate will get a name change), in which he plays the infamous Old West bandit who ultimately gets gunned down by his chum (played, appropriately, by Pitt’s chum Casey Affleck). Winnipeg (of all places) … Continue reading
It’s gotta be pretty neat being Johnny Depp now, especially since his presence in Pirates of the Caribbean is (rightfully) perceived as a major reason for that flick’s colossal success. Now if Depp wants to adapt a book for the screen, he gets top treatment. The book is called Shantaram, and the treatment will come from … Continue reading
Canada may be a haven for talented comic book writers and artists, but there’s never really been a major comic book publisher around, that is until Adam Fortier came on the scene. Getting his start in “the industry” during his teen years as a volunteer stock boy in Scarborough’s 1,000,000 Comics, he was eventually hired … Continue reading
