Future Flicks: Pedro Almodóvar’s “I’m So Excited”
December 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Is this a follow up to “Women on a Verge of a Nervous Breakdown?”
Probably not, but Pedro Almodóvar is finishing up a new comedy with a twist! Whether it be dark, far-fetched, somewhat trivial, a situation that references Spanish culture, politics or everyday life, he just manages to bring out something fresh and creative in his films and in his actors. You don’t even have to understand the language, you just have to understand character: their layers of issues, their actions, and the circumstances that would inherently push them to react in a certain way in a given time, place and situation.
Vintage Games

This is for vintage game snobs! If you don’t like the cheap feel of budget board games from the corner drugstore, might I suggest these retro vintage style games?
This Vintage Giant Deluxe Scrabble uses special wood and is also a Lazy-Susan, so the board can spin around to any player and raised grids to keep the tiles from moving. Weighing in at 17 pounds and 50% larger than regular Scrabble board games, this pricey board game will endure the rough and tumble Scrabble playing madness!
MSRP: $220.00USD
Buy it @ Restoration Hardware (RH) – Vintage Giant Deluxe Scrabble.

Pop artist Olly Moss posted a bunch of concept art, sketches, rough drafts and doodles on projects that never really went anywhere for 2012 on his blog site. But, hey, it’s Olly Moss art and I think the art posters and sketches look cool.

Future Flicks: Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM update!
December 12, 2012 by 1 Comment
I think Guillermo del Toro is about to crush the Transformers franchise with a single Pacific Rim blow!
The fact is, Pacific Rim touches on all popular elements of a fantastic science fiction in the near future which includes sleek but robust militarized technology armor suits, giant manned battle robots as tanks and a fight for humanity in a war against gargantuan beasts unleashed from the sea as it appears from the trailer. And from the trailer, I would have to say Pacific Rim is much more layered than a Transformer flick and promises to give us the equivalent of what Star Wars gave to audiences in 1980s – a jaw dropping awe. Watch out George Lucas!

I really enjoyed the first collected volume of Flash Gordon by Titan Books. And now the second volume is upon us – Flash Gordon: The Tyrant of Mongo, which collects stories from April 25, 1937 – January 12, 1941. The iconic Flash Gordon Sunday strips are restored in full color glory. On Planet Mongo, ruthless ruler Ming the Merciless is on the hunt for the Earth girl Dale Arden and Flash Gordon. Flash with the aid of Dr. Zarkov makes new allies as the fight off Ming’s various threats trying to stay alive on Planet Mongo.
Awakening: The Art of Halo 4
December 12, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Being a big Xbox gamer and Halo “fanboy,” I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this new art book from Titan Books titled Awakening: The Art of Halo 4. Like many Halo fans, I was a little weary of 343 Industries taking over the Halo franchise from Bungie. Though as the promotions started, then watching the exciting web series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, and seeing the game being released to great reviews, my fears were alleviated.

Assassin’s Creed Graphic Novel Volumes 1-3
December 3, 2012 by 3 Comments
When Ubisoft launched their video game hit Assassin’s Creed II in 2009, they also released a French-language trilogy of comics to fill-in the gaps and expand the Assassin’s Creed universe with writer Eric Corbeyran and artist Djilalli Defali. Now for the first time, Titan Books has translated the graphic novels to English.
