Art by Bryan Hitch (Hawkman) and Stanley Lau (Supergirl) Back in February of 2019, the Hawkman series by Robert Venditti revealed a former life of Hawkman, and it wasn't just any random character. This character was Catar-Ol, a Kryptonian who was living on Krypton at the time of its destruction. He appeared in a few comics during the next two or three years, but he has not been seen since 2022. Still, he was given a pretty important background. Hawkman Vol. V No. 1 (August 2018)He actually made…
After 15 years of training by the mysterious Yun Tai sect, Yun Xiang leaves to seek revenge for his massacred family. What he lacks in martial arts skills, he compensates by his huge intellect and ability to manipulate people to fulfill his plans. On his journey, he meets several people who would become his friends: Shu Yanan, a fierce female warrior, Jin Biao a master swordsman for hire, Su Ming Yu, a rich kid with martial arts skills and dreams of wandering around the jianghu like a hero. As…
Hollywood spends $200 million on CGI spectacles that make no sense and a billion dollars anyway. Meanwhile, some of the most brilliant science fiction ever made is buried in a streaming library with 400 reviews and a poster nobody remembers. These 11 films aren’t obscure because they’re bad. They’re obscure because they did something dangerous: they took the science seriously, trusted the audience’s intelligence, and refused to wrap everything up neatly. That combination tends to kill a box…
Currently reading: Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton 📚 Re-reading Jurassic Park, last time I read it was maybe 20 years ago. Realizing now how much of a metaphor for the AI age it is.
Good manic pervert movie, like a euro-arthouse John Waters, with rapid banter and exclusively eccentric characters. I’ve seen Kurt Raab in four other Fassbinder movies, always in minor roles. Here he’s the lead, a broke poet, having become violent and desperate with writer’s block. His put-upon wife and shut-in brother (a fly-plucker whom Kurt once calls a guter junge, hmmm) are supportive, but he finds a devoted fan of his work in Petra von Kant. Illness, murder and fake murder all follow, as…
The great Harry Dean Stanton would have celebrated his 100th birthday on July 14, 2026. Since I first saw him in Ridley Scott’s Alien, I’ve loved him in every film he’s ever done. I’m particularly enamored with his performance as Fat Trout Trailer Park manager Carl Rodd in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I...

Für alles, was mit Dips & Cremes aus Richtung levantinischer-arabischer Küche zu tun, haben wir hier im Greenwaycastle eine große Liebe.

An intentionally under-stimulating way to track your favorite movies and what you'd like to watch.
Phillip Maciak: There is something absurd about hearing a character in a movie utter the title of the movie they’re in out loud. It’s a moment that can be played for laughs, but it’s just as hard not to smirk when a film that takes itself seriously calls itself by its own name. Many filmmakers will go out of their way to avoid this moment of clunky announcement. You never hear, for example, Daniel Day-Lewis snarl, “Welp, there will be blood,” or Leonardo DiCaprio mutter, “You know, man, it’s…
l-r Francesca Amewudah-Rivers and Nadi Kemp-Sayfi in ‘Tender’ at Bush Theatre. Photo by Harry Elletson Tender is getting a second outing this time in the Bush Theatre’s larger space and is a play about a chance encounter that develops into something more. The encounter is between two women who are living with not wholly comfortable relationships. Ivy (Nadi Kemp-Sayfi) is living with her pushy boyfriend and has an equally pushy brother. Ash (Francesca Amewudah-Rivers) has returned from living in…
As you (may) know, at Kuriositas we like to showcase some of the best student-created animated shorts. Many, if not most of them, tell stories that are action-heavy, which helps show off the technical prowess of the students. Fire is something quite difference. While it certainly covers the elements that the students must show in order to complete their degree, this tells and altogether different story. As such it is refreshing to see a group of collaborators take such a distinct and different…
“For you the theatre is everything, for me it is nothing,” Ellen Terry tells Henry Irving in David Hare’s play Grace Pervades. She and Irving were the greatest actors of their generation, and it’s impossible to believe that the theatre was nothing to her. It was her life. As it was his. But for him nothing else much mattered, including his wife and son. The play tells the story of Irving and Terry, who worked together for 20 years at the Lyceum Theatre, and the contrast between them was at the…

Yes, I have read the book (all of Andy Weir’s books in fact) so I did know what was going to happen (especially since it did stick pretty closely to the story, perhaps due to Andy’s producer credit). Good things - Ryan Gosling, played it pretty perfectly, at least how I had imagined Ryland Grace to be; Rocky, the practical and visual effects team did a great job of making a lump of granite into a sympathetic and expressive character; and the environment of Rocky’s ship and his technology,…

by Nathaniel R Will Julianne Moore finally be back in the mix via THE DEBUT While it took me uncomfortably long to complete the first round of Oscar predictions of the year, I've finally done so ending with Best Actress, Best Picture, Best International Feature Film, Best Director and Best Casting as the final charts to go up. But what I want to talk about is, naturally Best Actress. Quelle surprise! There are film years where one or two titans feel all but certain this early. There are years…
We don't have a Midnight Special vs. In Concert or Kirshner's Rock Concert comparison this week, and it's probably just as well, as Special has a highlights show featuring the best of 1978, hosted by Wolfman Jack himself. You can see the lineup for yourself down there; I don't think any show could compare to this one. It's a good night's entertainment, and you're seeing in in this Dallas-Fort Worth edition. -4- KDFW (CBS) MORNING 5:30 NEWS 6 AM SUMMER SEMESTER Asia: Indonesia 6:30 JOYCE…
★★★★: RIP Sam Neill. Great movie though, per usual. So many fun details. And wild how it just established what a T-Rex sounds like. Everyone just agrees now. FYI: My reviews are scored out of 4. Also, thanks for subscribing to my RSS feed and supporting the indie web!
In 2013, the former Meltdown Comics shop in Los Angeles, California, held an art exhibition celebrating Mark Frost and David Lynch’s iconic television series Twin Peaks from June 8-21. Titled “Damn Fine Coffee,” this exhibition was curated by Nico Colaleo and featured 40 artists from around the entertainment industry. One artist from the show named Gina...

Last Christmas, I published a short article titled My Gingerbread Man Soap Dispenser, which was, as the name suggests, about my gingerbread man soap dispenser. I had purchased him at a local discount store called Lot Less on December 20, 2025, mostly for aesthetic purposes (I recall it was about $3 to $3.50, but I did not note the exact price in the original article). The gingerbread man was not all about aesthetics – mind you – he also held distinctly ginger-scented soap. While I would…
A Below Deck Med cast member came on a fellow cast member's sheets—and then didn't wash them or tell the person. I talked to specialist in infectious disease and sexually transmitted infections to find out if that's dangerous or not.
It’s no secret that the Hollywood Comet loves musicals. In 2010, I revealed I had seen 400 movie musicals over the course of eight years. Now that number is over 600. To celebrate and share this musical love, here is … Continue reading →

Almost surely, if you totaled up the number of hours of movie watching I’ve done and the hours of TV show watching I’ve done, TV dwarves movies. It’s not a conscious choice; just how it shook out for me. Via the internet, I “know” a couple of people who are consciously movie-only. Khoi Vinh does all these movie reviews and has more or less said he’s only got time for movies. Sean Fennessey, host of The Big Picture has said he only watches movies as well. Paraphrasing from what I remember, it’s…
