The poster and trailer for Neuromancer is here. William Gibson was way ahead of his time when he wrote the novel in 1984. The trailer has my interest so…
Deal me in.

Deal me in.
She’s ready for a fight.

A poster and teaser for Mike Flanagan’s series adaption of Stephen King’s Carrie have arrived.
I like King’s novel and am a huge fan of Brian DePalma’s movie adaptation. Since I’m also a Flanagan fan, and the trailer works, I’m looking forward to this. The fact that the entire series drops on October 7th is a plus.
Deal me in.
She just wanted a friend. They gave her a fight.
All episodes of Carrie, a new series from Mike Flanagan, premiere October 7 on Prime Video.
Well, this is certainly a first. Bruce “The Batman” Wayne vs Rocky “The Italian Stallion” Balboa by Tokaji. I’m putting my money on The Stallion.
This 30 Days of Night Alt Poster by Fredlobo Lopez is money. It captures the start of one of my favorite scenes in the movie. The vampires are about to attack the citizens of the village and all hell breaks loose. It is complete chaos and the movie captures it perfectly. Click on the image to see a biggie-sized version.

I got this sketch of Sly Stallone as Jack Carter at a HeroesCon. The scan doesn’t do the original justice.

Us (1927)
Director: James Parrott
Screenplay: Leo McCarey, H.M. Walker
Stars: Charley Chase, Margaret Quimby, Jim Mason, William Orlamond.
Tagline: None.
The Plot…
Charley dreams of flying. Every day Charley goes to the airfield where for a small price a pilot will give you a plane ride. Every day Charley gets in line with his money ready. And every day, Charley chickens out.
Today is no different. Well… except for one small change.
Charley went to the airfield. He got in line with his money. He chickened out. Instead of leaving he went over to stand by one of the airplanes. When a cute woman came by, Charley acted as if he was a pilot and the plane was his.
What Charley didn’t know is the woman is a pilot and the plane is hers. She thought Charley was cute by trying to impress her as a pilot when it was so clear, he wasn’t.
But she played along. She asked Charley to take her up for a ride. At that point Charley couldn’t refuse.
Better buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Charley Chase was an writer, director and actor. Although he died at a relatively young age (46), his resume includes 282 acting roles, 174 films as a director and 37 as writer.
Us was directed by Charley Chase’s brother.
Us is a play on the title of Charles Lindberg’s account of his solo flight across the Atlantic, titled We.
Us (1927) rates 3 of 5 stars.

This cool Rocky Tribute Poster by Riccardo Rosanna features all of Rock’s opponents! Well done, Riccardo Rosanna.
I love the absolute look of terror on the woman’s face as she is kidnapped by The Creature from the Black Lagoon. JK Woodward created this beauty!
Hallow Road (2025)
Director: Babak Anvari
Screenplay: William Gillies
Stars: Rosamund Pike, Matthew Rhys, Megan McDonnell.
Tagline: None.
The Plot…
Late one Halloween night Frank and Maddie Finch get a call from their eighteen year old daughter Alice. Alice, driving on a remote forest road struck a girl. Alice said the ambulance is going to take a long time to get to them because she is so deep in the forest. Frank and Maddie jump in their car. Maddie is a paramedic and they are only 30 minutes away.
As they drive to the site of the wreck Frank and Maddie keep talking to Alice… but Alice’s story keeps changing… and getting worse.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Hallow Road feels like a play. Most of the action takes place in the front seat of the car with Frank and Maddie talking to Alice. Rosamund Pike and Matthew Rhys acting along with William Gillies screenplay keep us interested. Unfortunately the payoff isn’t as good as the journey.
Hallow Road (2025) rates 3 of 5 stars.
