“The Last Stand” / Z-View

The Pitch: ”Hey, what do you think about having Arnold as the police chief of a small town up against a Mexican cartel? 

“Let’s do it!”

The Tagline:  “Not in his town.  Not on his watch.”

The Overview:   *** Beware –  spoilers are found below ***

When a Mexican drug cartel kingpin busts out of custody and makes a break for the border surrounded and supported by his hired killers, the only thing standing between him and freedom is a small town sheriff and a couple of green deputies.

The Good

  • I like the premise.
  • It is always great to see Forrest Whitaker, Luis Guzman and Harry Dean Stanton.  Arnold is Arnold!
  • The kingpin’s escape is well done.  The magnet was a nice touch as were the orange suited running men. [I really liked Forrest Whitaker’s interrogation scene with the Dutch soccer fan.]
  • There is plenty of action.

The Bad:

  • Some of the humor felt out of place [Arnold telling the diner people to leave, the “schmuck” line at the beginning and end of the movie, etc.].  Let Johnny Knoxville be the comedy relief and let everyone else play it straight.

The Ugly:

  • What happens when Arnold dives into you knocking you both off a two-story building.  And landing on a car with Arnold on top of you will be the least of your worries.

Rating: 3 out of 5

That’s Eric Powell’s cover (one of many variants) for the new Big Trouble in Little China comic series coming from Boom! Studios.  Eric “The Goon” Powell will be taking on the writing chores with art from Brian “The Sixth Gun” Churilla.

Powell and Churilla were recently interviewed about the project at CBR,com so if you’re a fan you ought to click over.

Josh Cooley’s Movies R Fun


Josh Cooley is a storyboard artist for Pixar.  In his spare time Cooley works on personal projects.

His latest is Movies R Fun described as a “children’s picture book parody for grown-ups.”  

If you check out the trailer (yes, the book has a trailer) for Movies R Fun you’ll see that Cooley’s fun children’s book drawings of “age restricted” movies aren’t for children, but instead for the kid in all of us grownups.

Which Avenger Are You?

Today’s question is… Which Avenger Are You?

I demand a re-do.

While I would have liked to have been Captain America, I figured I’d just have an outside chance at him.

I don’t drink enough or am rich enough to be Tony Stark, so Iron Man was out.

Perhaps the Beast or maybe Hawkeye?  But noooo!

Instead I came out as Dr. Druid!  Dr. Druid?

How about I be Jarvis and we call it a day?

Which Big BangTheory Character Are You?

I’m certainly not bragging about being most like Howard Wolowitz.

He’s the character I got when I took Zimbio’s quiz, Which Big  Bang Theory Character Are You?  

I was surprised that I came out as Wolowitz.  Maybe I shouldn’t be though.  

I am fairly confident… probably a bit quirky too.  I definitely use humor and I do love my mama. [“Always be kind to your mother.”]

Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised at all.
