| Posted: 19 Feb 2011 08:02 PM PST  Elektra Luxx DIRECTED BY: Sebastian Gutierrez WRITTEN BY: Sebastian Gutierrez STARRING: Carla Gugino, Timothy Olyphant, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emmanuel Chriqui, Arianne Palicki, Marley Shelton, Malin Akerman, Josh Brolin Sony Pictures RELEASE DATE: March 11, 2011 (limited) We all choose different career paths in life, and sometimes our path chooses us. Some people become doctors or teachers, while others become janitors or sales reps. And some don't take a path at all; they go off-roading with careers like, oh, say...a porn star. No guidance counselor sends you in THAT direction. But the lifespan of a career in the adult entertainment industry is a brief one, and before you know it you're out of work and trying to figure out what the hell to do with the rest of your life, which is the basis for director Sebastian Gutierrez's latest film, Elektra Luxx. This is the story of Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino), a legend in the porn industry with countless film titles to her name and an army of fans who have made her a star. Unfortunately for Elektra, she's getting up there in age and is blind-sided by the news that she's also pregnant with the child of recently deceased rock star Nick Chapel (Josh Brolin), forcing her to shockingly retire from the industry she's such a staple in.

| A Webcomic About ‘Doctor Who’ By Someone Who’s Never Seen The Show Posted: 19 Feb 2011 10:52 AM PST  Comics creator Kate Beaton posted a little webcomic to Twitpic about Doctor Who, stating that she's actually never seen an episode. The comic is just what she imagines the series is like from what bits and pieces she's seen around, and humorously, her interpretation is not too far off! See the full webcomic here. You can check out more of Beaton's work at her site Hark! A Vagrant [...]      |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2011 09:22 AM PST  The Eagle Directed by Kevin Macdonald Starring: Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Donald Sutherland Release date: February 11, 2011 What can we expect from a fearless director who documented mountain climbers' perilous voyage in Touching the Void and directed a film about ruthless dictator Idi Amin? Director Kevin Macdonald didn't flinch when making either of those films and he doesn't wince the least bit here when he decides to direct a film about a Roman soldier in search of Rome's lost pride (a golden Eagle statuette) during the 2nd century in Briton. An exuberant vitality is brought to this material, a characteristic that hasn't been put to adequate use in recent historical epics. No slouching is occurring here. Macdonald shows a deepened concern with emotion and the ways of how the Romans and savage races live. In The Eagle we see a juxtaposing of contrasting lifestyles. It's a treat to see this variety and vitality being distributed freely in an action film by a director who has respect for nature and the olden days of Hollywood's infatuation with adventure films [...]      |
