Tex: Vampire Hunter to screen at Beloit International Film Festival in Wisconsin
Last year I was able to catch up with Gabriel, filmsmith and all around cool guy who was developing Tex: Vampire Hunter (or) Make Thick My Blood: A Tragedy in One Act. The film had a bunch of stuff going for it right from the outset. Vampires. Cowboys. Jen Page. Blood and gore. All the good stuff.

25. November 2009
Escape from City 17 is amazing. The film-makers have combined life-action with elements of Half-Life 2 for the special effects and a lot of the sound work. It's set in the Half-Life universe, near the climatic events of Half-Life 2 as the city nears complete destruction. Enjoy.

21. November 2009
So, I just got back from watching New Moon with my family, (it’s my Sister-in-law’s birthday) and I have to say, it was better than I thought it would be. Is it worth seeing, assuming you didn’t hate Twilight? Yes, I’d definitely say it is. Overall it improves on its predecessor, and certainly it is better than most of the other movies currently out. New Moon is an entertaining romp of romantic fancy with enough action to keep the guys happy. It’s not high art, but then, high art is rarely fun.

15. November 2009
Due to ordering in advance from Play.com I happily opened the door to my postie Saturday morning as he was delivering my copy of Star Trek XI (two days before official UK release). Now, when I saw the movie at the cinema I was totally blown away and wanted to go see it again – unfortunately [...]

26. October 2009
I saw this and just had to pass it along. I love the first Left 4 Dead even if it does scare the heck out of me. There's a new set of people and it looks like there's new types of zombies as well. I'm ready to get scared all over again. November holds so many great releases I just can't wait!

26. October 2009
Castle is an ABC crime show, in the more humorous vein of shows like the Mentalist and Psych. The shows titular lead, Richard Castle, (Nathan Fillion of Firefly and Dr. Horrible fame) is a mystery writer on par with Patterson or Cannell, fresh off killing his main character out of boredom. Meanwhile Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic, The Spirit) is looking at two seemingly unrelated murders with one odd thing in common: Both were killed almost exactly like murders out of Castle’s books. She brings him in for questioning, leading to him volunteering to help with the case because of his familiarity with the crimes, which turns into a more permanent partnership as he decides to base his new book on her. But that's not why I've writing on the show, great as it is. I'm writing about Castle because they actually wrote the book he finished about Beckett last episode. So what is it when you have a book purporting to copy a book that doesn't exist? Welcome to third order simulacra and the blurring of reality.

25. October 2009
It’s half-term and my daughter wanted to go out somewhere so we ended up at our local cinema to watch The Vampire’s Assistant. I did mention that it’d better not be frightening! I’d heard of Darren Shan but never read any of his books and didn’t even know this film was based on one til just [...]
