Mike Torrance: A Tale of Two Carters
Mike Torrance aka The Krayola Kidd is back and he brought Jack Carter with him – both of them. Mike surprised me with this clever take on “Get Carter” at Heroes Con. Mike outdid himself with this one!
You can see more of Mike’s art at The Daily Sketch with The Krayola Kidd (and if you’ve never checked out Mike’s site, you ought to if only to see his Walking Dead cards!) and his Deviant Art site. Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.
The New “Red Dawn” Trailer
The new Red Dawn trailer looks pretty good, don’t ya think?
Red Dawn Rises Again
Although I haven’t watched it in years, I was a fan of the original Red Dawn. Released in 1984, Red Dawn starred Patrick Swayxze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, and Jennifer Grey before they had reached the height of their fame,
Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O’Neal, William Smith, Powers Boothe and Frank McRae also had roles and gave the movie the gravitas it would have otherwise lacked.
If the new Red Dawn looks half-way interesting, I think I’ll check it out. If not, then it’s time to fire up the original.
Mel Brook’s Young Frankenstein
If you’re a fan of Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, and who isn’t, then you might want to check out Eddie Deezen’s profile of the film.
Thanks and a ladle of hot soup to Neatorama.
One Huge Looper
I like this new poster for Looper, If you do as well, and would like to see one so big it could run from the past to the future, you can right here, thanks to the fine folks at ComingSoon.
Brad Pitt is Killing Them Softly
The new trailer for the crime thriller Killing Them Softly is perfect. I can not wait to see this movie.
Killing Them Softly is based on a George V. Higgins crime novel and set in New Orleans, and follows professional criminal, Jackie Cogan as he investigates the robbery of a high stakes, mob-protected, poker game. It stars Brad Pitt, Ray Luotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Sheppard and opens October 7th.
I’ll save you a seat.
The Expendables 2: Last Supper
I don’t know what prompted the idea of this “Last Supper” Expendables 2 banner, but I sure dig it. Check it out at full size to enjoy the details. – Craig
Phil Hester Roughs Up Jack Carter
Phil Hester writes and draws comics for a living. Phil was a guest at MegaCon this year and I hopped to get a sketch from him. As you can see, mission accomplished. What was great was Phil knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered big time. You can follow Phil on Twitter. You’d be crazy not to. – Craig
Judgment is Coming – Don’t Dredd It
The buzz on the new Dredd film is that it’s a throwback to the action films of the 80’s (where have we heard that before?), very violent (well, it is Judge Dredd after all) and very good (one can hope).
New Expendables 2 Poster
We’re less than three weeks away from the opening of Expendables 2 and this overseas poster is just what the doctor ordered!
Michael Duron Takes on Jack Carter
This week we have Michael Duron and his take on Sly as Jack Carter. Michael is from Florida and I met him at OrlandoCon where he was nice enough to fit me in on his sketch list. You can see more of Michael’s art at his site.
Russell Crowe’s Next 3 Days Aren’t So Good
The Pitch: “It’s like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ from the spouse’s point of view, but in this version the spouse plans and executes his wife’s prison breakout.”
The Tagline: “What if you had 72 hours to save everything you love?”
The Story: When a man’s wife is convicted of murdering her boss after an argument and appeals hold no promise, he decides to break her out of prison.
The Cast: Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Beghe, Brian Dennehy and Liam Neeson.
The Good: The planning of the escape and a brief scene with Liam Neeson. There’s a nice moment with the man (Crowe) and his emotionally-distant father (Dennehy).
The Bad: Liam Neeson is under-used. What happens when you are a “civilian” dealing with criminals. What happens when a man is pushed to the ragged edge. The movie is a bit long.
The Ugly: The wife’s attitude when she learns too late the her husband’s plan.
The Rating: D+
Wilfredo Torres Takes on Cobra
Wilfredo Torres makes his first appearance in my Stallone Sketch Collection Gallery. I had been a fan of Wilfredo’s art through his blog and got to meet him at MegaCon this year. Wilfredo decided to take on Cobra and produced this very cool sketch. – Craig
