James Gunn’s “Peacemaker” Series – The Trailer is Here!
The trailer for James Gunn’s Peacemaker series is here. I liked Suicide Squad a lot more than I thought I would, so I am more than willing to give Peacemaker a chance.
The All-Time Best Noir Films Ranked!
Fiona Underhill at /Film came up with her list of The 14 Best Noir Movies Ranked. Underhill’s choices are excellent examples of the genre.
We both placed Double Indemnity in our top two (#1 for Underhill and #2 for me). Coming in first for me was The Postman Always Rings Twice (#7 for Underhill). My third spot went to The Big Sleep which surprisingly Underhill listed at 14th on her list.
One movie that didn’t make Underhill’s list and would have easily made mine was The Big Heat. (And now that I think about it, I would have also found a spot for Body Heat.)
“Reacher” – The Poster and Trailer are Here for the New Series!
I love the poster and trailer for Reacher. If you’ve read any of the Lee Child Reacher novels you know Alan Ritchson looks the part! Deal me in!
Based on the books by Lee Child, Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson) was arrested for murder and now the police need his help. Watch Reacher on Prime Video from 4th February.
“Run & Gun” – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
I’m not a big fan of the Run & Gun poster, but since it is art and not Photoshopped heads I won’t complain too loudly. The trailer isn’t great but by the end it had grown on me. I think Run & Gun might be an okay way to spend a late night when nothing was popping.
After leaving a life of crime and violence, Ray is a reformed good guy, enjoying a quiet family life in the ‘burbs. But when his past is discovered, Ray is blackmailed into one last job to collect a mysterious package. After a deadly double-cross, he finds himself wounded and on the run from ruthless assassins who will stop at nothing to get what he has. Now, with the lives of his loved ones hanging in the balance and danger at every turn, Ray’s only hope is to draw upon his violent past to survive.
Featuring: Ben Milliken, Brad William Henke, Janel Parrish, Mark Dacascos, Celestino Cornielle, Angela Sarafyan, Alison Thorton, Hudson Yang, Michelle Campbell, Ari Barkan, Rafael Cebrián, Richard Kind
“The Matrix Resurrections” Deja Vú Teaser is Here!
The Matrix Resurrections Deja Vú teaser below is the best thing I’ve seen yet promoting the new movie.
Gerardo Zaffino Takes on Marv from SIN CITY!
Yesterday we had Dan Panosian’s Marv from Sin City. Today we get a look at Gerardo Zaffino’s take on the big guy. While he may have gone a bit overboard with the damage inflicted on Marv, it sure is cool to see Zaffino’s riff.
Sin City’s Marv by Dan Panosian!
When one of my all-time favorite artists (Dan Panosian) draws one of my all-time favorite characters (Marv) from one of my all-time favorite series (Sin City), then I have to go for the all-time record for using the words “all-time” in a single post.
Rocky Balboa by Dan McDaid!
Dan McDaid is a quadruple threat artist – writer, penciler, inker and colorist! I first noticed his art on Twitter which led me to his Instagram. I liked McDaid’s art and through his Big Cartel Shop purchased his sketchbook and Dega deluxe pack. I requested his take on Sly Stallone as Rocky and McDaid came through like a champ!

Oleg Zatler’s Amazing Movie and Television Art!
Oleg Zatler has created art for both for movies and television. You’ve probably seen his art on posters for theatrical blockbusters like Batman, Hunger Games, District 9, Rambo, The Expendables and Star Trek. On television Zatler has created art for the Star Trek franchise, AEW, Longmire and Sons of Anarchy to name just a few.
Mr. Zatler has a website where you can see more of his art. He also has three sections for his posters (used and rejected) for The Expendables, The Expendables 2 and The Expendables 3. It’s interesting to see how far out some of the designs were as well as those that weren’t used but should have been!

Oliver Stone’s “JFK: Destiny Denied” – The Poster and Trailer are Here!
I believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed President Kennedy, but I have an open mind and am interested in learning more about the case. I’ve read the Warren Commission Report. I’ve watched documentaries and read many different theories. The “magic bullet” can be explained and really didn’t make the turns and twists some have speculated. With all that said, I’m interested in seeing Oliver Stone’s JFK: Destiny Denied.
JFK: DESTINY BETRAYED is #OliverStone’s four-part “deep dive” into the infamous Kennedy assassination. Over a period of months, Stone spoke to a diverse array of authors, historians, witnesses, and experts in forensics, ballistics, and medicine. Subjects covered in the mini-series include the early formation of President Kennedy’s foreign policy worldview, his travels to Vietnam as a senator (where he saw first-hand the French losing their colonial war), his support of fledgling democracies in Africa, and his anti-colonial convictions which put him in opposition to the Eisenhower administration, the CIA, and the Pentagon. Viewers are also given a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the post-assassination actions and initial suspicions of Kennedy’s brother, Robert, as well as his views on the official Warren Commission investigation. Additionally, assassination forensic and ballistic evidence is explored here in great detail. #JFK #JohnFKennedy #CIA
With narration by Whoopi Goldberg and Donald Sutherland.
