10 Stephen King Novels That Would Make Great Comics

Posted: 28 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT

 

Marvel Comics struck a deal with Stephen King a few years back and it’s likely that they’re getting their money’s worth from the deal. There’s no doubt that the adaptation and continuation of The Dark Tower series has been a big moneymaker as has the long-winded and word-perfect adaptation of The Stand...

Sam Raimi returns to the horror genre which started his career many years ago with Evil Dead and shows he’s lost none of his ability to terrify, gross-out, and make viewers laugh hysterically.  Alison Lohman is Christine Brown, a bank loan officer who is vying with another employee for the assistant manager position...

The Taking of Pelham 123 DVD Review

Posted: 28 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT

 

The Taking of Pelham 123 is a remake of a 1974 film by the same name and it has some very big shoes to fill as the original was one of the best crime thrillers of the 1970s.  The plot is kept relatively the same with added nuances to modernize it somewhat although not necessarily making it better.  Four men hijack a New York subway train and hold the passengers for a ten million dollar ransom...

Wednesday brings a giant load of Blackest Night, which I would have been crazy excited about a few months ago but just can’t get any enthusiasm for any more. Is it just me or has event fatigue become super brutal? I’m reading books because I feel like I have to, not because I want to. Not a good sign...
