DVD Review: Tabloid Posted: 13 Nov 2011 03:00 PM PST Tabloid DVD Directed by Errol Morris Starring Kent Gavin IFC/MPI Home Video Release Date: November 1, 2011 With the current state of popular culture looking more and more like the pages of the tabloid rags any person is able to find at the local grocery store, it's important to see where that storied tradition of possibly slanderous, yet shockingly gripping faux-journalism has come from. You know, it's always important to know history. And who better to take something like this on than Errol Morris? Decades prior to when names like Brett Ratner or Charlie Sheen ever graced a single magazine, a woman by the name of Joyce McKinney came onto the scene, and took the world by storm with her larger than life persona, and even weirder (albeit alleged) actions [...]

Comic Review: Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth Posted: 13 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth Written by Malachai Nicolle [Age 6] Drawn by Ethan Nicolle [Age 30] Colors by Dirk Erik Schulz [Age 27] Dark Horse Comics Release Date October 5, 2011 Price: $12.99 What started out as a weekly web comic two years ago has quickly become one of the most fun comic book titles in recent memory. Written by a 6-year-old boy, Axe Cop is about a cop who carries an axe and who is called in to save the world from various crazy bad guys. Axe Cop: Bad Guy Earth centers around the "Psychic" brothers who are sent out to take over the world by turning everyone into bad guys. Axe Cop and his crew of dinosaurs and other interesting characters not only travel through time, but also space to figure out the mystery behind the two brothers. This is a book that is so crazy and over the top and funny that you can't help but laugh [...]

Pink Floyd Celebrates the Rerelease of 14 Studio Albums by Flying a Pig Over London Posted: 13 Nov 2011 01:00 PM PST Never let it be said that Pink Floyd doesn't know how to mark an occasion in grand style. Back in September, to celebrate the start of EMI Records' "Why Pink Floyd?" marketing campaign that will see the rerelease of 14 of the band's studio albums among other things, organizers staged a recreation of the famous cover art for the band's 1977 album Animals. You can watch a video the staging here below [...]

Book Review: Someone’s Watching You! Posted: 13 Nov 2011 12:00 PM PST Someone's Watching You! Paperback | Kindle Written by Forest Lee Adams Media Release date: June 18, 2011 If you've ever wondered just how plugged in we all are to the Matrix, you must read Someone's Watching You!, Forest Lee's thorough examination of how all of our personal information is gathered, stored, used, and who's collecting it and why. When it comes to technology, we all have our personal comfort zones. We're highly selective about who we give our name, address, and phone numbers to, among other precious data. Some of us are fine with finding friends on Facebook, but panic at the notion of online banking. Some folks still refuse to shop online, lest some hack pilfer their credit card number [...]

Movie Review: Melancholia Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:00 AM PST Melancholia Directed by Lars von Trier Starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Alexander Skarsgard, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgard and Charlotte Rampling Release Date: November 11, 2011 To watch Terrance Malick's distinct, creative rendering of the beginning of the universe in The Tree of Life and then experiencing Lars von Trier's incendiary vision of the universe plummeting to eventual debris is to witness two artists displaying unseen audacity as they tackle subjects (beginning and end of times) that once seemed un-filmable. The caustic, operatic, haunting and celestial opening shots to von Trier's Melancholia, which are set to the Tristan and Isolde Prelude in slow motion, depict a world, from an intimate perspective, gradually proceeding to its imminent demise. These horror-laden images, which are intimations of what will transpire later in the film, are surpassingly beautiful and an overwhelming indicator of the astonishing horror and gloom that will pervade the entire film [...]

3D Blu-ray Review: G-Force Posted: 13 Nov 2011 10:00 AM PST G-Force Blu-ray 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack Directed by Hoyt H. Heatman Jr. Starring Bill Nighy, Nicolas Cage, Zach Galifianakis, Penelope Cruz, Tracy Morgan, Jon Favreau, Dee Bradley Baker Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment Release Date: November 8, 2011 A specially trained squad of guinea pigs is dispatched to stop a diabolical billionaire from taking over the world. G-Force is a harmless family film which sticks to an established formula that appeals to a mass audience. Kids will enjoy the talking animals and the action/epsionage plot. Adults will enjoy seeing and hearing from some of their favorite hollywood actors and actresses. It's revealed in the special features that the director's five-year-old son was the mastermind behind the film. Don't expect too much cinematic depth here. Do expect a new Black Eyed Peas song every five minutes though [...]

Watch Footage From The Big 4 Metal Concert At Yankee Stadium Posted: 13 Nov 2011 09:00 AM PST If you follow me on Twitter [@eveofdoom] then you know I spent a very headbanging day at Yankee Stadium in New York at The Big 4 metal concert back on Wednesday, September 14, 2011. For an old-school metalhead like me, seeing Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax share a concert bill is a dream come true, and this 7-hour metal extravaganza did not disappoint. Metallica recently released an official 30-minute video with behind-the-scenes footage and sound check, as well as their performance of "Blackened" (complete with lots of fire and laser-show action) and the encore jam of Motorhead's "Overkill" including members of all four bands. Watch it here below [...]

3D Blu-Ray Review: Toy Story 3 Posted: 13 Nov 2011 08:00 AM PST Toy Story 3 3D Blu-Ray Combo Pack Directed by Lee Unkrich Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Ned Beatty, Micheal Keaton, Jodi Benson Walt Disney Home Entertainment Release Date: November 1, 2011 It's not always easy being a collector. If you are one of the many out there who, like me, find something they are passionate about and pursue it to the fullest, a lot of time, effort, and money can be spent doing something that others find trivial. For those of us bitten by this bug, it's not about simply possessing a thing. Anyone can possess a thing, but when you collect something, its more about what that item means to you as a whole. On the surface, I buy the Blu-Rays and DVDs I buy because I am a fan of the film first, and want to enjoy it again in my home [...]
