A World That's Moving On
The Dark Tower - The Gunslinger Born
posted by Ezekiel on March 03, 2010
The Gunslinger. Some of you may have read it, many of you probably haven't. I didn't until just a few years ago. It's the first in a 7 epic volume series, The Dark Tower, by Stephen King. In this series King creates for us a world that is both horrorfying and magical. This series concluded in 2004, then a few years later Marvel gives us the opportunity to finally put visuals to our imaginations.
Written by Robin Furth and Peter David, art by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, they bring us... Read more...

I remember when a freind of mine asked me if I liked horror, and sure who here doesn't. What came next I didn't expect, that same friend asked if I had like horror literature. Instantly my mind went to one of my favorite authors, Stephen King and losely followed by some "horror" books I had read as an adolescent. My friend only smirked and said "Then you've not really read horror", and introduced me to SplatterPunks. A collection of short stories that bordered just on this side of depraved.... Read more...

So, one day, my alarm goes off, right? And I've got it set to play the radio instead of that annoying buzzer because it's easier for me to sleep through. The song it starts blaring at me is some sort of re-imagining of David Bowie's Space Oddity. I was half asleep so I didn't try to find out what it was right then, but I knew I really liked the song.
For four days in a row it played that song at the same time. It was like Groundhog Day. Then I realized it was part of a pre-recorded set... Read more...

Most of the time I don't really like animated shows that much, unless it's various types of anime. however in this film I can honestly say that the story was, albeit predictable as comic books go, fairly decent. Enough to earn it 3 glooms here.
If you're bored and want to be entertained with Marvel's least likely super hero, check it out!
Besides it's... Read more...

Hellboy
posted by Ezekiel on February 12, 2010
"Hellboy" stars Ron Pearlman, Selma Blair, and John Hurt. It's about a government funded group that battles the paranormal. This movie is one of a dozen comic book movies now, and yet not having read the comics, I still think that it's a better film than say X-Men, or Spiderman.
Largly due to the grittyness of the film's content than your average run-of the mill super-hero flick I'm giving this film 4 glooms.
If you haven't seen this film, where have you been the last 5 years, under... Read more...

Let's start with the Do's and Don'ts.
Do see this movie if you are an avid fan of all things paranormal, ghost, demon, or other-worldly. Do you like ghost hunting? Do you hear unexplained things in the night? Do you believe in other places more terrifying and haunted than our own? See this movie.
Don't see this movie if you are looking for a solid plot, storyline, action, gore, or otherwise script based media. This movie is loosely based on true events,... Read more...
