By Giallo Julian By Giallo Julian & Zane Whitener What is it about werewolves that people find so interesting? Is it the duality of man and beast, an innocent person forced to live out primal desires every full moon? Is it the fear that someone isn’t always who they seem, a wolf in sheep�...

That opening Superman scene This weird little home video segment of a kid talking to Supes is a double whammy of existential pain. First, you have the whole CGI mouth thing, which is extremely obvious throughout. Then you have Superman refusing to answer the kid’s question about what his favorite thing about living on Earth is. There’s no thematic payoff to the scene later in the movie, and so it plays like the movie is just trying to dunk on itself. Clark and Lois hanging out in a CGI corn...

WARDS WORLD: Essential whatever Published: 14:30, 14 February 2021 I think I must be a bit slow in coming to terms with the meaning or the definition of the word ‘essential’ it seems My dictionary must be way out of date as it defines the word as being ‘fundamental – absolutely necessary - extremely important’ etc, etc. I mention this in passing as I would like to get my hair cut as I know it’s getting quite long as I have worn out two combs, one each side, tryin...

‘Al Davis vs. the NFL’ fumbles away a great story with a bad ‘deep fake’ call The legal feud between Raiders owner Al Davis and the National Football League is the kind of juicy stuff that ought to be hard to screw up, but ESPN manages to do just that with “Al Davis vs. the NFL,” a “30 for 30” documentary that fumbles away a juicy premise with one exceptionally bad call: Using “deep fake” replicas of Davis and NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, both long deceased, to tell the st...

It was 1973, The Satanic Rites Of Dracula — I was Jessica Van Helsing, Peter Cushings granddaughter, and Christopher Lee as Dracula chose me as his bride for eternity, to walk by his side through darkness. That might have been more impressive if half the places she visited, on her journey from Tilbury Docks to the Lake District, didnt seem to remind her of some ro...

Ah, what could have been in the Star Wars spinoff movie.

Part of the Warner Archive Collection, this new presentation was derived from a recombination of separation masters scanned at 4K 16 bit by digital movie wizards MPI Film, before undergoing a full restoration and color correction. Although the final results are better visually then ever released, unavoidable soft focus and occasional color shifts still exist in segments. However, those moments can be ignored, especially while basking in the new clarity and enhanced colors. The overall visual up...

Starlog. Starlog focused more toward the sci-fi side but often they would overlap. I ran into our local mall’s Waldenbooks to grab the new issue of Fangoria sporting a cover and center story to Prophecy, the environmental monster movie (NOT the series of warlock movies with Christopher Walken that would come years later). Monster movie. That’s all I needed to hear. Its poster glared back at me in glorious double-paged insert color spread from my parents’ Rolling Stone magazine. Some ...

George Orwell is out of copyright - now the fun begins For 70 years the famous authors literary estate has kept control of the way his work is adapted for the screen. Thats about to change. Scene from a 1956 film adaptation of George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four.  Jake Kerridge Share George Orwell died from tuberculosis in January 1950, aged 46. Writers who can combine such originality of thought with such clarity of expression are rare enough that even now its difficult not to be grief-struck...
