Weapons Movie Review-Was it better than Barbarian?

YouTube Video Weapons   by Zach Cregger was a solid horror film, especially for fans of face mutilation and suspense. While the twist didn’t fully land for me, the movie picked up after a slow start and became quite engaging. I really enjoyed the eerie electronic score during tense moments and thought the cast was strong—The characters and actors playing Gladys and Alex were standout performances. The multi-perspective storytelling around 17 missing kids added depth, and I liked how it wrapped up. Not as strong as   Barbarian , but still a very good film—I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Fantastic Four: First Steps-Out of the Theater Quick Review

Jason and I give our quick review of  Fantastic Four: First Steps.  We both gave it a  rating of 7.9/10 . We praise the movie’s stunning production design, visuals (especially Galactus and The Thing), and soundtrack. Pedro Pascal stood out as Reed Richards, and the Silver Surfer was a highlight. While the film lacked some character depth and suspense, we still considered it the best Marvel movie of the year so far — surpassing  Brave New World  and  Thunderbolts. There were  two post-credit scenes: one worthwhile, one forgettable. Here's our out of the theater review A longer podcast spoiler review is coming soon.

Artwork-Actors Storming off Set

In the past, I would often draw an action scene.  My art inspiration comes from reading and enjoying comics.  Here, I just wanted to draw something a little different.  This drawing takes place on a movie set, and it seems that two actors are upset, with one storming off.  See the time-lapse video below from concept sketch to final product.  Please share your thoughts and comments below.  

The Complete Killer Comic Review

On this episode I discuss french comic (translated to english), The Killer.  Awarded IGN's 2007 indy comic of the year, this story follows the life and times of an assassin. A.I. Summary I read  The Killer  comic twice to fully grasp its story — it's a deep, violent, and philosophical ride that follows a contract killer through his long, complex career. The comic, originally French and available as  The Complete Killer  on Comixology, explores his internal worldview, his rise to wealth, and his struggle to escape the assassin life. He trains others, partners in business, and even starts a family, but never truly breaks free. I watched the Netflix adaptation (starring Michael Fassbender, directed by David Fincher) after reading the comic. While the film was solid, it only covers a small sliver of the full comic’s story and takes some creative liberties. The introspective voiceover from the comic is reflected in the film, but the comic is much richer overall. I st...
