“Sicario 2” is “Sicario” on “Steroids”
Sicario was one of the best movies in recent memory. Naturally, a sequel is planned with Taylor Sheridan returning to write the screenplay which will focus Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) and Matt Graver (Josh Brolin).
To read more about Sicario 2 and how Taylor Sheridan describes it check out Jack Giroux’s “Sicario” Screenwriter Says the Sequel Is The First Movie on “Steroids” at /Film.

The Top Ten Toughest Heroines in Horror and SciFi
ComingSoon.net recently posted their choices for The Top Ten Toughest Heroines in Horror and SciFi.
Using just their list I would say the top three are Ripley from Aliens, Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road and Sarah Conner from Terminator 2.
My question is how could they not include: Lornetta “Mace” Mason from Strange Days, Charly Baltimore from The Long Kiss Goodnight and Michonne from The Walking Dead??
Dark Was the Night (2014) / Z-View

Screenplay: Tyler Hisel
Stars: Kevin Durand, Lukas Haas and Steve Agee.
The Pitch: “Hey, anybody remember the movie ‘Prophecy’?”
Tagline: “Evil’s Roots Run Deep”
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
Strange things are happening and the townspeople are on edge. Giant cloven hoof prints going through town, pets and livestock turning up missing or mutilated, strange sounds at night have people jumpy. Some think that a legendary creature is back.
They’re not far off.
Bonus points for the ending. Minus points for the CGI.

Dave Wachter and Jack Carter
Dave Wachter is back and he brought his take on Sly from the Get Carter. I met Dave several years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist?
It has become a HeroesCon tradition that I get Dave to draw his take on Sly. Somehow this one was never posted until now.
You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
Solomon Kane by Howard Chaykin!
Howard Chaykin is one of my all-time favorite artists/writers. I’m not a big Solomon Kane fan, but this sketch could win me over.
The Courier (2012) / Z-View
The Courier (2012)
Director: Hany Abu-Assad
Screenplay: Brannon Coombs, Pete Dris
Stars: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Josie Ho, Til Schweiger, Miguel Ferrer, Lili Taylor, Mark Margolis and Mickey Rourke.
The Pitch: “I’ve got an idea for a new ‘Transporter’ movie!”
Tagline: “He delivers”
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
A transporter courier is hired to deliver a briefcase containing who knows what. He’ll be paid a million dollars if he meets the deadline. If he is late his family will be killed.
I’m a Jeffrey Dean Morgan fan and The Courier starts out fun enough with a girl held at gunpoint on a plank from the top of a roller coaster. The clock is clicking down — will the courier get the money there in time.
I won’t spoil it for you but after that intro we’re off and running (the clock is ticking again after all). Great cast and a fun movie right up until the very end. Things seem rushed and convoluted as the movie comes to a close. Mickey Rourke has a glorified cameo.

New “Blood Father” Poster and Movie Clip
How about a new Blood Father poster and clip?
The Saviors by James Robinson and J. Bone
I am happy to see that The Saviors by James Robinson and J. Bone is getting a trade paperback release. I’m a huge fan of the series.
The Saviors is a comic for mature audiences due to drug references and language. If you’re a fan of 1950’s alien invasion movies [“I Married a Monster from Outer Space,” “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,”etc.] or well written, well drawn comics, then The Saviors is for you.
When Tomas Ramirez stumbles upon an extraterrestrial conspiracy to take over the world, his life is forever altered. Now he’s banding together with those other few souls who share the knowledge that we are under attack as they attempt to defeat a shadowy alien cabal that is both indestructible and eager to kill anyone who threatens it.
Eisner Award winner JAMES ROBINSON (Starman, Earth 2) and artist J. BONE (The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror, The Spirit) present an adventure story of monstrous proportions.

The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…

Rocky isn’t interested but before it is over Adonis and Rocky will both face the fights of their lives.
