Huck #1 by Mark Millar and Rafael Albuquerque (Review)

By  •  Comics

A Mark Millar story is almost always going to have minor gripes. Speedbumps aside, Huck has everything going for it, for the most part: incredible art by Rafael Albuquerque, Millar at his most open and optimistic, and a lead character and supporting cast that you want to see more of. This is a great debut. As for the rest? Time will tell.

Review: Starlight TP by Mark Millar and Goran Parlov

Elevator-pitch: it’s Mark Millar writing his version of an aging Flash Gordon. This version of Flash Gordon goes by Duke McQueen. He saved a planet once. Down on earth, nobody believes him except his wife, who we learn has passed away in the first few pages. There’s a lot of room for this to go down heartless Millar territory, but what it actually does is much more valuable.

Movie Review: The Host (2013)

By  •  Movies

The film attempts to show a sympathetic body snatcher while telling a story of forever love, resistance, and perseverance. It dies trying. It is a galactic conceit that the alien souls have colonized twelve planets and yet never considered that hosts would care about their presence or eradication.

Movie Review: The Ice Pirates (1984)

By  •  Movies

1984 – Rebel filmmakers, striking from not-so-hidden studio bases in Hollywood and around the world, attempt to cash-in on the Stars Wars phenomenon. Most result in the deaths of many careers but one film rises above the dross to stake a claim to the heart and mind of one particular newly minted sci-fi nerd: The Ice Pirates.
