Dallas Comic Con Adds Adam Baldwin

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Mon, 13 May 2013 15:14:00 +0000

It’s big, it’s expensive, but “WHOO! BOY!” is it fun! Dallas Comic Con will run from Friday May 17th through Sunday May 19th, 2013. If you haven’t got tickets yet, you might want to move fast. Head over to Dallas Comic Con Ticket page where you can also get autograph tickets for Nathan Fillion, William Shatner, and other assorteds.

A big guest (for FIREFLY fans) has been added to the line-up and that would be Adam Baldwin, known as Jayne Cobb on FIREFLY and Casey on CHUCK! I just spotted this in my email box, so here it is to you. Enjoy. You will be able to see Adam in the new Michael Bay TV show, THE LAST SHIP, on TNT sometime in 2014.

Out of all the Dallas Comic Con guests, which ones are you most excited to see?

Movie Review: IRON MAN 3

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:52:00 +0000

IRON MAN 3 has the second highest gross for a weekend, only behind THE AVENGERS (2012), and for good reason! We had a little get together at the Studio Movie Grill Spring Valley with The Fellowship of the Geeks and a some new friends and loved the movie.

I know that there are some fanboys and fangirls out there that are or will be totally horrified at this movie. I’ve always said that you should go into these things with this in mind. A movie is a totally separate entity from a book, comic book, or previous movie. There are too many variables, so get over it, watch it as an individual piece of work, and enjoy it on it’s own merits. With that in mind, enjoy the ride!

There is very little action in the beginning because there is an emotional set-up that has to be made. Tony is going through some mental issues after the whole Avengers-wormhole-aliens thing and he’s rethinking his life. I liked this part of it. For two movies, it was all about the suit and very little about Tony Stark. Yeah, you got to see him as the billionaire playboy and you got to listen to his snark, but now, you get to see him as a human being. And I really enjoyed it.

One of the great things about the first half of the movie was watching Tony Stark interact with someone who wasn’t a superhero, villain, or rich and famous. He meets a kid named Harley who likes to build things, too, and the relationship between the two is fun to watch because it would seem that Tony has met himself in a younger form. Great part of the story!

Colonel James Rhodes brings more to the table this time and I’m very pleased with what he has to offer. Action Flick Chick mentioned in her ‘12 Reasons Iron Man 3 Is Awesome’ that Robert Downey, Jr. and Don Cheadle have a great “buddy cop vibe” and I can’t agree more. Plus, you get to see that he’s just as good in the suit as Tony.

Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts? She starts as a damsel in distress, but after this? No more. That’s all I have to say about that because you need to see it to see what I mean. And it’s awesome!

Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin should get an Oscar for his portrayal of . . . . well, not The Mandarin per se. You’ll see what I mean. There is a definite plot twist and I liked it though it goes against Iron Man back story and I’m okay with that.

Guy Pierce as Aldrich Killian is over the top. I almost didn’t recognize him in the beginning, but his character is the one you want to watch out for.

As for plot and storyline, I don’t know what everyone is getting worked up over, but then again, I am a very forgiving movie viewer. If there were any plot holes, I either didn’t pick up on them or I did and pushed them aside to enjoy the movie. That’s just the way I roll. As for the ending, I believe it is very open-ended and could be the end or the beginning of the next Marvel Phase 2. We’ll just have to see.

Action sequences are amazing and the true thrill rides that you would expect from any Marvel movie. I really don’t think anyone would be disappointed here. Though I did enjoy the first half with Tony’s emotional set-up, it could have been paced a little faster and with that I give the movie a 4.5 out of 5 or an 9 out of 10.

In closing, I’ll never tell you to go or not go see a movie. In the end, that is up to you. But, I hope you’ll appreciate what I enjoyed or did not enjoy about the film.

Texas Frightmare Weekend Jumps Out At Us This Weekend!

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:46:00 +0000

The show is going to be phenomenal! If you haven’t got your tickets yet to the Texas Frightmare Weekend you need to take a look at their guest list and reconsider. Aside from Danny Trejo, one of the most requested guests, there are a lot of favorites that I would have never thought of seeing.

Tom Skerritt and Veronica Cartwright are making a mini ALIEN reunion. Walking Dead fans will find quite a few celebs, including Chandler Riggs, the Kid, in attendance.

One that is unexpected is Diane Franklin. Though it wasn’t a horror, unless you just don’t like John Cusack movies, she played the cute little French exchange student, Monique Junot, in BETTER OFF DEAD. She has done horror in her career, but that’s not what I remember her for.

And a very big surprise to me, but not to those that are fans of THE LORDS OF SALEM, is the presence of one Patricia Quinn! If the name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe the character Magenta does. Yes, that Patricia Quinn! All in all a very good list of actors and actresses for everyone and I’m now off to find a babysitter!

Movie Review: OBLIVION

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:00:00 +0000

My reviews are my own opinions and are merely posted as my own thoughts to the likeability of the movie. I will never tell you that you SHOULD or SHOULDN’T see a movie. You have to judge for yourself. What follows is what I liked or disliked about OBLIVION.

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I thought to myself, “finally an original thought in Hollywood.” That didn’t take too long to end. But more on that in a minute.

The visuals were stunning, the story was intriguing, and I wanted to see what would become of it. It seems that we’ve had nothing but vampires, zombies, wizards, and super heroes for so long, that I’d forgotten what a good science fiction movie looked like. The fact that it had Tom Cruise in it did not deter me from wanting to see it. His private life, quirks and all, are just that, his private life. He’s a good actor. Give him a screen and let him play.

The length of the movie seemed to be a little long, but it only clocks in at two hours and four minutes. I think that what lends to the time perception is the long lead into the meat of the movie. It takes a while to set up, but that’s a good thing. During this set up period, there is a lot to look at and digest and there is some action to make it not boring. My movie partner, on the other hand, thought that it was slow in the beginning.

Once it gets going, it’s pretty much a fun movie. Some folks have said that there are too many sci-fi movie clichés, and yes, you can point out some, but you’re going to get that with any movie you see. It does not detract from the overall movie.

The soundtrack for this movie was amazing. Very 70’s and 80’s sci-fi. The rock band M83 put it together and should get some award nods on it. It truly reminded me of old sci-fi movies I had seen as a kid, which just reinforced my enjoyment of the movie. It really helped to set the scene and the mood when coupled with the powerful visuals.

As for this being original, it seems that the graphic novel it was based on was an unpublished one that producer, director, and co-writer Joseph Kosinski had in the works about eight years ago. Thanks to a writer’s strike and the movie rights getting snapped up, it never got finished. Read the details of OBLIVION, the graphic novel, according to Bleeding Cool.

All in all, this was a good movie. There are a few little details that leave questions, but it doesn’t ruin the movie. I’d give it a three and a half or four out of five. Check it out and enjoy.

If you’ve seen it and didn’t like it, tell me why! If you saw it and loved it, what was your favorite part or parts?

Tyler Mane Brings COMPOUND FRACTURE to Dallas

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:29:00 +0000

You may recognize Tyler Mane as Sabretooth from X-MEN or as King Ajax from TROY or even as Michael Myers from HALLOWEEN. No matter how you recognize him, you’ll want to check these opportunities to meet him and see his new supernatural thriller, COMPOUND FRACTURE.

COMPOUND FRACTURE is a bone-chilling, independent, supernatural horror movie that brings together 3 iconic killers on the big screen. Discover how this movie will take you deeper than the normal horror-thriller fare into a world of family secrets, obsession and dementia. Just when it seems you might escape the mad house, you find that it’s the only thing keeping you alive. Watch as the family that was shattered needs to come together when faced with complete and utter extinction.

With consistently great reviews for the performances given by Tyler Mane (Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN and HALLOWEEN II, X-MEN), Muse Watson (Ben Willis in I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, NCIS), Derek Mears (Jason in FRIDAY THE 13th, HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS) and Leslie Easterbrook (THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN) this film will steal your heart and then take your breath away. Secrets are revealed and the father’s sins are always visited upon the son. This time in blood. Daniel Roebuck, Todd Farmer and Renae Geerlings (who co-wrote) are also in the cast.

With a cast like that, you can’t go wrong. Of course, I think I geek out more because it’s got Muse Watson who played Jethro Gibbs’ boss, Mike Franks, in NCIS. Great character and great company with the rest of the line up.

There are different types of ticket packages. You can just go to the movie, or you can go to a double feature with COMPOUND FRACTURE followed up with Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN and get a pre-show meet and greet with Tylor Mane and writer/co-star Renae Geerlings. There is also a collectible wrist band, post-show question and answer, and prize drawings. You could win Tyler’s jumpsuit that he wore as Michael Myers in HALLOWEEN or you could even be Tyler Mane’s next victim in a movie. Get your tickets at this link: COMPOUND FRACTURE movie tickets at the Texas Theatre.

Awesome Toy Collector Show April 28, 2013

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:34:00 +0000

Come on out to the Doubletree Hotel in Richardson to wade through the aisles and find that toy that you’ve been waxing nostalgic over since you were eight. You know the one. You used it to maintain control over your legions of army men, all the while striking fear and longing in the hearts of your friends. It was a miracle that it never put your eye out. But, it’s different now. You’re an adult. And you have money in your pocket. There it is. You see it? Go get it. Bring back the good ole days. And the fear (and wanting) in the hearts of your friends.

Doors will open up at 11:00AM and close at 5:00PM with admission at a mere two dollars. For $5 you can get in an hour earlier and scout out the good stuff. Drawing throughout the day can net you a $25 shopping spree, but you got to be there to win it. Come buy, sell, or trade vintage to modern toys of all sorts. Rebuild that childhood collection!

As you can see, my favorite was Raydeen of the Shogun Warriors! What was yours?

Another North Texas Comic Book Show in the Books

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:25:00 +0000

I have to admit, I’m beginning to enjoy these little shows. They are affordable, comfortable, and you still get to meet a pretty well-known “celebrity.” At previous shows, we were treated to the likes of Sam del la Rosa and Lou Ferrigno. This show we were treated to being seated between Carlo Barberi and Victor Gischler. If you are a Deadpool fan, then you know these guys and so it was like we had the best seats in the house.

Thomas Branch and Todd Boddy got to meet some of the guests as well as make new fans. One addition to our table was Andrew Purdum of www.modernreformers.com. He was promoting his works of short fiction and also soaking up the good time.

Did any of you get to attend and if so, pictures?

FAHRENHEIT 451 in 35MM at the Texas Theatre

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:03:00 +0000

The Texas Theatre and D Magazine will be joining together to bring the classic 1966 scifi movie FAHRENHEIT 451 to audiences for one afternoon only. The movie will be shown at 4PM on Sunday, April 14, 2013. The movie is based on the 1951 book by Ray Bradbury with the movie directed by François Truffaut and starring Julie Christie and Oskar Werner.

FAHRENHEIT 451 is probably one of my favorite books of all time and I will occasionally re-read it. In fact, I’m probably due for one now. I always liked to think that if we lived in a society where books were burned and there was an underground culture where a person was tasked with memorizing a book, what would I want to memorize?

That’s a good question. If you had to memorize one book, and that was the only book that you could remember and pass on to others, what would it be? I’ll get back to you on what mine is.

Galacticon Twitter Party

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:44:00 +0000

The local chapter of the Battlestar Galactica Fan Club will be gearing up for next month’s big Galacticon III by hosting a Twitter Party online Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 8pm central time. Galacticon III is the big 35th anniversary of the original series and 10th anniversary of the new series to be run as a side party to Comicpalooza in Houston this year.

All you have to do is sign on to Twitter, or sign up for an account, if you don’t have one, and follow the hashtag #galacticon3. If you’re new to Twitter, you have plenty of time to figure it out, as the folks that have put this together provide links about setting up and using Twitter.

In addition to all the great news, there will also be prize giveaways, so join in and have fun!

Lewisville Science Fiction Book Club Discusses

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:38:00 +0000

Eric Brown’s THE DEVIL’S NEBULA will be the topic of discussion Friday April 12, 2013 at 7:30pm in the Lewisville IHOP located at I-35 and Round Grove Road. Whether you’ve read the book, only skimmed it, read the back cover and thought it interesting, or just want to see what the group is about, head out to meet the gang.

I will have to admit that I have not read any of Mr. Brown’s works but am familiar with the names. This novel deals with human colonization, ancient alien evils, and lost worlds. Sounds like it might be fun? Have you read it?

Neil Gaiman To Stop By Dallas On His Last North American Tour

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:35:00 +0000

I can’t seem to find an answer to why this is Neil Gaiman’s last tour but I have a feeling it has to do with how busy the man has been. Yes, Dallas has been one of the lucky city to be listed as a tour stop and I have got my ticket! Follow the links below and you’ll have everything you need.

AMERICAN GODS was my first introduction to Neil, which in turn, led me to his joint effort with Terry Pratchett, GOOD OMENS. GOOD OMENS is probably my favorite to date, but we’ll have to see after I read this one.

What would be your favorite Neil Gaiman book? Any of his items fall flat? Do tell.

***UPDATE 4/19/13*** Forgot to put in here that he will be at the Majestic Theater 7:00PM on Monday, June 24, 2013. Purchase of ticket(s) includes a copy of the the book THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE.

RiffTrax Far Exceeds Goal to Riff TWILIGHT Live!

noreply@blogger.com (James Pickering) — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:10:00 +0000

With seven days to go as of this posting, the folks at RiffTrax have exceeded their goal by over $180,000 to secure the rights to riff TWILIGHT. They are hoping to have it in theaters for one night in August 2013. “The only way it could have gone any better was if we had come up with the idea to riff the Veronica Mars movie,” says the update on their Kickstarter update. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett were all members of the award-winning TV series MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000, and they carry that tradition on with the RiffTrax series.

If you’ve never seen them riff a movie live or via simulcast at your local theater then you are missing out. So far I’ve watched PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE, and BIRDEMIC. I’ll let you know if this one comes to fruition.
