Humiston’s Jack Carter Gets a “Thumbs Up”

Posted on by

This is Erin Humiston’s first appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery.

I met Erin a couple of years ago at a MegaCon Convention.  I liked Erin’s animation style and thought it would be cool to see his take on a Sly character.

Erin did a sketch of Sly from Paradise Alley.  I actually thought I had shared it earlier, but in checking today see that I didn’t.  I’ll fix that and post it in a week or two.  In the mean time we have Erin’s take on Sly as Jack Carter.

You can see more of Erin’s art at his website and Facebook page.

 

The 20 Scariest Movies of All Time

Posted on by

Recently The Hollywood Reporter compiled their list of The 20 Scariest Movies of All Time.  I’ve seen 15 of the 20 and agree that they’ve come up with a good list.

My choice for number 1 scariest movie would be The Exorcist.  My favorite of the 20 listed would be Night of the Living Dead, but there are many other excellent scary movies on the list.  Any of you seen all of them?

“American Muscle”: Drive-In Worthy?

Posted on by

Regular visitors know of my love for drive-in movies.  Although most drive-in theaters have gone the way of laser disc players, drive-in movies continue to be made.

Which brings us to American Muscle.  That’s the one sheet for American Muscle posted above.  There’s no doubt  American Muscle falls into the drive-in movie category.

Don’t believe me?  Here’s a summary of American Muscle by Travis Stevens (who produced the movie)…

The movie’s about a guy, who’s been in prison for 10 years, gets released, and over the next 24 hours kills every single person who had a hand in him going to jail…

Yep.  American Muscle has drive-in movie written all over it.  In the old days I’d be looking forward to seeing it as the second or third feature at the local drive-in.  Now I just have to wait for American Muscle to arrive at Netflix.

Remastered “Nosferatu” Coming Soon!

Horror fans are going to love the newly remastered Blu-Ray edition of F.W. Murnau’s classic Nosferatu.

Filmed in 1921, the film borrowed…

“heavily from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, Dracula without permission… All known prints and negatives were destroyed under the terms of settlement of a lawsuit by Bram Stoker’s widow. However, the film would subsequently surface in other countries…“

and will soon be available for collectors.



Hercules: The Rock & Steranko

Posted on by

The picture above is the latest in a series of set photos that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has shared from location filming of Hercules: The Thracian Wars.  If you’d like to see the other photos, Coming Soon has them.

Set for a July 14, 2014 release, Hercules: The Thracian Wars is directed by Brett Ratner and based on Radical Comics series of the same name.

If Johnson’s photo as Hercules seems familiar, you probably remember seeing this version of Steranko’s cover prelim for Radical Comics or this Steranko prelim or perhaps Steranko’s finished cover.
