Interview with a Vampire: Season 2 – “Start the Tape Teaser” is Here!
What really happened in Paris?
ABOUT INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
A luxury apartment covering an entire single floor of a high rise. Where the Vampire has granted the interview with the man he once judged to be unworthy. And where the journalist Daniel Molloy has hustled, for a second shot at the interview that got away from him 40 years earlier…
Based on Anne Rice’s iconic novel, Interview with The Vampire follows Louis’ epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900’s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement. A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel.

This Summer the American Saga begins. Horizon: An American Saga – Only in Theaters June 28 #Horizonamericansaga
Academy Award-winning visionary filmmaker Kevin Costner directs New Line Cinema’s vast “Horizon: An American Saga” Chapters One and Two, a multi-faceted chronicle covering the Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. A story of America too big for one film, this true cinematic event also stars Costner, who co-writes with Jon Baird (“The Explorers Guild”) and produces through his Territory Pictures.
In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, “Horizon: An American Saga” explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.
Costner stars alongside an impressive ensemble cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Owen Crow Shoe, Tatanka Means, Ella Hunt, Tim Guinee, Danny Huston, Colin Cunningham, Scott Haze, Tom Payne, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Will Patton, Georgia MacPhail, Douglas Smith, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Alejandro Edda, Wasé Winyan Chief, Michael Anganaro, Angus Macfadyen, Jon Beavers, Alex Nibley, Kathleen Quinlan, Etienne Kellici, Amos Jason Charging Cloud, Bodhi Okuma Linton, Gregory Cruz, James Russo, Jeff Fahey, David O’Hara, Chris Conner, Leroy M. Silva, Bernardo Velasco, Tom Everett, Glynn Turman, Giovanni Ribisi and more.
Costner returns to directing for the first time since his 2003 critically acclaimed hit “Open Range,” and revisits Civil War-era America, the setting for his 1990 blockbuster and directorial debut, “Dances with Wolves,” which won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. He produces alongside Howard Kaplan and Mark Gillard, with Danny Peykoff, Robert Scannell, Armyan Bernstein, Charlie Lyons, Barry Berg and Rod Lake executive producing.
Costner is joined behind the camera by director of photography J. Michael Muro (“Billionaire Boys Club,”“Parker”), production designer Derek R. Hill (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” “The Magnificent Seven”), editor MiklosWright (“For All Mankind,” “Open Range”) and costume designer Lisa Lovaas (“Ambulance,” “Transformers: The Last Knight”). The music is by Oscar nominee John Debney(“The Passion of the Christ,” “The Greatest Showman”).
A New Line Cinema presentation of a Territory Pictures production, “Horizon: An American Saga” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The films will be released in theaters nationwide, the first on June 28, 2024, the second on August 16, 2024.

The Plot…
The League details the birth, rise and demise of the Professional Negro Baseball Leagues and the outstanding players who made it popular.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
The League shows that black players have been playing baseball since it’s invention. It wasn’t until the major leagues wouldn’t allow players of color to participate that the Negro leagues came to be. Cities that had a Negro League team saw their economies improve. Fans saw a faster paced, more exciting game.
The League does an amazing job of presenting the social issues and history that brought about the formation of Negro Professional Baseball Leagues. In addition to learning about the stars who played the game we learn about the folks behind the scenes who made the leagues possible.
Recently Patrick “Patch” Zircher announced that for a $100 donation (or more) to any homeless charity, he would create a pencil drawing for the person making the donation. Zircher took on several dozen commissions. The idea caught on. Artists who saw what “Patch” was doing offered the same deal! By the time Zircher called an end to the offer, over $10,000 had been raised for homeless shelters!
I got in. Patch created his riff on Sly Stallone as Jack Carter for me. I’ll post it once the original arrives. In the mean time, Patch posted his take on Conan for a person who made a donation. I love it. If you want to see more of Patch’s art (as well as the commissions he took on for this project), you can here.
The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. is documented using primary sources, some never seen/heard from television and radio reports as well as police communications. Director Tom Jennings does an amazing job of setting up the events that brought Dr. King to Memphis as well as his assassination and aftermath.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
MLK: The Assassination Tapes gets my highest recommendation.
MLK: The Assassination Tapes (2012) earns 5 of 5 stars.
Directors: Brit Marling (eps. 1, 5 – 6); Zal Batmanglij (eps. 2 – 4, 7)
Teleplays: Brit Marling & Zal Batmanglij (eps. 1, 4, 6 – 7); Brit Marling & Zal Batmanglij and Melanie Marnich & Rebecca Roanhorse (ep. 2); Brit Marling & Zal Batmanglij & Melanie Marnich (ep. 3); Brit Marling (ep. 5)

The Plot…
Darby Hart (Corrin) is an amateur detective and author of a book detailing how she solved a cold case where a serial killer had murdered several women. Darby accepts an invitation from billionaire Andy Ronson (Owen) to attend a retreat being held in a remote location in Iceland. Ronson has invited nine people from different walks of life who think out of the box.
When Darby arrives, she is surprised to discover that Ronson has used his billions to create a home that is like a fortress from the future. Artificial Intelligence responds to commands throughout the mansion. Even more surprising is that her former boyfriend, Bill Farrah (Dickinson) is there. Bill was her partner when she followed clues to solve the cold case. They haven’t seen each other in six years.
Ronson explains that the guests are there to brainstorm ideas to make the future better. The guests mingle and begin to get to know each other. After everyone has retired for the night, Darby decides to go to Bill’s room. Through the window Darby sees Bill on the floor bleeding and taking his last breaths. By the time Darby gets help, Bill has died.
It’s obvious Bill was murdered. Since no one else could have gained entrance to Ronson’s estate, the murderer is one of them. Will Darby figure who before the killer strikes again? Who can she trust?
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
A Murder at the End of the World is a clever whodunnit. Emma Corrin is outstanding as Darby, the socially awkward amateur sleuth. I love that the story takes place in a rarely used location. If you’re a fan of Nero Wolfe, Benoit Blanc and/or Hercule Poirot then give this one a shot.
A Murder at the End of the World (2023) earns 4 of 5 stars.
I’m looking forward to Season 2. Hopefully it will be as good as the first.

FULLY LOADED by Jimmy Broxton is a 100-page deluxe softcover. Described as…
Blade Runner meets Sin City in a Neo-noir, Cyberpunk crime thriller. Art to die for, a story to kill for, and a shattering finale you wouldn’t see coming in a 100 years.

It’s 2065, Carson Blake is 100 years old, fully loaded, and tired of asking nicely.

The Plot…
Everyone knows that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln. What many don’t know is that Booth was in a conspiracy that as he killed Lincoln, his associates would also kill Secretary of State William H. Seward and Vice President Andrew Johnson. Lincoln’s Last Day details the plot as well as an almost hour by hour movement of all involved.
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…
Lincoln’s Last Day is extremely well done. Seeing actual artifacts worn by Lincoln on his last day as well as the derringer Booth used to kill the President add gravitas.
In 1884 a mine collapsed into itself. What was the dark substance found 666 feet underground?
Blending modern horror, historical fact and Western lore, Scott Snyder and Dan Panosian have created a uniquely terrifying thriller with Canary.
During the final days of the Gold Rush, one mining company in Utah pulled up radioactive Uranium, and then the mine then collapsed in on itself. Legends sprung up about the mine being cursed or even haunted.
Now the Frontier is closed and the gold and silver mines have dried up. The country is becoming “civilized,” and yet, in one stretch of the Rocky Mountains, a terrifying, new kind of violence is suddenly emerging. Random killings. People going mad and murdering neighbors and classmates without real cause. When a schoolboy kills his teacher with a hatchet, a famous federal marshal named Azrael William Holt is called in to investigate the killings. What he and a brilliant young geologist uncover is stranger and more horrifying than anything they could have ever imagined.
