The new edition of Cinefex is out, and with June in full swing it's no surprise that this one's full of big summer movies. Dominating the cover, and roaring through the pages of Joe's story on The Jungle Book, is that ferocious feline Shere Khan. Joe also covered Alice Through the Looking Glass, while Jody went into battle with Captain … Continue reading “X-Men: Apocalypse” in Cinefex
“Perilous Crossing”
Typical, isn't it? You trek through an alien wilderness for untold weeks, take a rest stop at an ancient waystation on the brink of a fathomless canyon, restock your rickety wagon with supplies and an unusually large number of oversized firebrands, feed up the strong yet grumpy ultra-oxen ready for the next leg of your endless journey, then … Continue reading “Perilous Crossing”

In this case, … Continue reading Cinefex Takes On “Deadpool”

The Picture Strikes Back
Rummaging through the attic, I came across this half-finished painting. I started it in 1983, but despite an initial youth-fueled burst of enthusiasm, never summoned the energy to complete the damn thing. If you're a movie buff or science fiction fan, you'll see immediately that it's a hodgepodge of ships and characters from popular films including Star Wars, Blade Runner, … Continue reading The Picture Strikes Back
