I made this little epic inspired by my Grogu Star Wars prints that are still available (at time of posting) from ACME Archives. I wanted to teach myself some animation techniques using Duik Angela and Joysticks and Sliders in After Effects and decided I'd already got a perfectly good design to work with that could […]
Viggo Tarasov: I heard you struck my son.Aurelio: Yes, sir, I did.Viggo Tarasov: And may I ask why?Aurelio: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog.Viggo Tarasov: [pause] Oh. The John Wick movies are a ton of fun. A barrage of brutal fights almost cover to cover but delivered […]
Following on from my Batman image I wanted to Create a companion piece of Superman, the last son of Krypton, in the dark of night but still imbuing the hope and light that his character projects. The Max Fleischer cartoons offered up a beautifully imagined take on Metropolis, frequently underlit by the glitzy city lights […]
Apparently today is Bruce Wayne's Birthday. I've said it before but Gotham By Gaslight was my first intro to American comics. The gritty darkness to that was a real shock. I had a similar reaction when I saw Se7en and for that reason I always wanted to see a Fincher directed Batman movie. The Batman […]
News is abroad, news that will shake the very foundations of all belief systems across this weeping sore of a civilisation.Messengers bring tales that the Very Reverend D Wayne Love has returned, back from the higher plain, back to spread the love and the teachings of Elvis The Divine. Witness! And sing!
I've long stood by the idea that in the political turmoil that is contemporary America the A-Team would be a fascinating property to revisit. 'A crack commando unit' on the run from the Military Police would be some folks' idea of a terrorist cell. On the flipside they frequently did battle against greedy landowners, corrupt […]
The intro and theme tune to The A-Team still triggers something in my brain similar to that burst of brass as the Star Wars theme ignites after the Fox fanfare. Its a primal, nostalgia fueled shudder of 'here we go!'. And Mr T. aside there is nothing more iconic from that show than that Van. […]
I went to see Jurassic World: Rebirth the other day. I'm relatively certain cinema was invented to feature dinosaurs (and spaceships)and while it was good fun, and probably my second favourite in that franchise there's nothing that can beat the innocent majesty of the original. Edwards consistently turns out great movies with glorious visuals and […]
Baby driver is 8 years old! Good grief those pandemic years really messed up my perception of time. Baby Driver is awesome. I remember not 100% clicking with this film on my first viewing, but liked it more than enough to give it another shot and then, then I saw soo much that I had […]
I've had Ludwig Goransson's score to Sinners a lot recently. Its great. If I haven't made it clear I LOVEDĀ Sinners. I'm trying to decide if I should watch it again now that its available on streaming or wait until they give it the super shiny SE 4K disc boxed set, with lashings of extras, that […]
Spent a couple of hours of the longest day of 2025 watching Jaws during a friends party. Antisocial? sure. Necessary? Absolutely! It was 50 years old this weekend and its a stone cold classic. I'm still spotting things after dozens of viewings. This time round Quint looking at Hoopers hairy chest and saying 'You're wearing […]
