Head on over to Blood Blade and Thruster to read my review of the latest Indiana Jones movie.  I think it's one of my funnier reviews, mostly because it's so offensive.  Also, it's full of spoilers.

Hey I've got a new Soylent Screen column up, just in time for the triumphant return of Blood Blade and Thruster, where SoyScr made its debut oh so many months ago.  It occurs to me that there are more reasons for you guys to want to see this website of Speculative Fiction and Satire, beyond my snotty movie reviews.

For those of you who wished that Fahrenheit 451 looked A LOT like The Matrix, or perhaps you just wanted to watch Christian Bale suck on his cheeks for an hour and a half, I've got the movie for you. I actually enjoyed Equilibrium, even with it's ludicrous gun-fu and implausible plot. I am amazed that there is a major fan site devoted to it ( ( Read more... )

Hey, this time around I reviewed an absurdist Czech movie, based on a fairy tale, about a hideous chunk of root brought to life as a voracious infant that eats everything, including the frightening Eastern European cuisine that the camera lingers on, horribly.

This time I review Cast a Deadly Spell, a movie about the only non-magic using person in 1948 Los Angeles, a private eye named H.Philip Lovecraft.

Also, my brother brush_rat has reignited his comic Waiting for the End of the World into a web comic!

It's all thank to Blood Blade and Thruster magazine ( Read more... )

Four young men living the thug life plan one big heist to escape the street, or at least make life a little easier. They choose a small town bank to hit, but there’s one big problem. Wouldn’t you know it? The town is in the path of the zombie invasion.

In which I review The Host, a Korean monster movie. Read it here!

Also, my brother posted a gag panel that appeals to those who love npr and ectoparasites--in other words, me.

The story behind my review:
