Zack Snyder who is always great with visual images, but not the strongest director when it comes to story, takes on Alan Moore’s epic iconic graphic novel, the next stop in the Sci-Fi Chronicles. Visually, the film tends to be very faithful to the original panels, of the comic book, capturing an alternate 1980s filled…

Superman: The Animated Series (1997) – Action Figures, Double Dose and Solar Power
On 20 September, 1997, Metallo (Malcolm McDowell), last seen lost in the depths of the ocean, strides ashore in Action Figures. And that could spell trouble for Superman (Tim Daly). However, it seems the cyborg is suffering from some sort of amnesia when he shows up on a remote island, where he is cared for…
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997) – Shuki Levy and David Winning
Gah. Let’s just get this one out of the way, if the first one was crap, can you imagine how I felt going into this one as I continue my time with the Power Rangers thanks to the Sci-Fi Chronicles book, and this one barely has Amy Jo Johnson in it. So why watch it?…
Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) – John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller
Four great directors give their own interpretations of four classic stories from Rod Serling’s fantastic television series in this big screen adaptation that is the next stop on the Sci-Fi Chronicles. Sure there is that shadow cast over the film with the death of Vic Morrow and two child actors in a helicopter crash,…
Village of the Damned (1960) – Wolf Rilla
The Sci-Fi Chronicles plunges me into B-movie horror filled with creepy blonde-haired children in this classic that is still a little unnerving. Based on the novel, The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham this one still has the power to make the viewer uneasy. Strange things are afoot in the English village of Midwich when…
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) – Paul W.S. Anderson
These films keep coming, and it’s a good thing, that for the most part, I am willing to indulge them as a guilty pleasure. The Sci-Fi Chronicles brings me the third sequel in the Resident Evil Series that sees Alice (Milla Jovovich) trying to catch up with those she left after the events in…
Issues Vol. 18
It’s a quiet week for me at West End Comics, but Kirk still had a couple of interesting titles to throw my way, so without further ado let’s see what I was reading this week… Wild’s End: The Enemy Within (Boom Comics) issue 1 (of 6), written by Dan Abnett, art and letters by I.N.J….
Issues Vol. 8
This week I’ve got four great books, and 1 miss, though that one was my choice and not endorsed by Kirk at West End Comics, so his status remains untarnished. That being said let’s dive in to see what I was reading last night, and allow me the opportunity, once again, to pop into West…
Superman II (1980) – Richard Lester
The Sci-Fi Chronicles book just keeps paying off, I’m loving this incredibly large tome, and I can’t believe how quickly I’m working my way through it (admittedly I’ve seen, and reviewed a lot of the stuff before). Having previously reviewed Superman: The Movie, I moved forward to the next title, Superman II. Now, I…
