Warners Runs With "The Flash"

23 August 2011 4:49 PM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »

Warner Bros continues to develop a big screen adaptation of DC Comics' "The Flash", from a script by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim ("Green Lantern"), for Berlanti to direct as a 2013 release.

Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Harry Lampert, the original 'Flash' debuted in "Flash Comics" #1 (January 1940). In the origin story, 'Jay Garrick' accidentally inhaled hard water vapors that gave him super-speed, using heightened reflexes that seemed to violate all known laws of physics. He wore a winged metal helmet inspired by the Greek god Hermes (Mercury) .

'Barry Allen', the second 'Flash', was a police scientist, who gained his super-speed after being accidentally splashed by chemicals following a lightning strike.

Allen adopted "The Flash' name after reading a comic book featuring the adventures of Jay Garrick.

The third Flash, 'Wally West', formerly 'Kid Flash', gained his super-powers through an accident identical to Allen's. »

James Reviews Shout Factory’s Gordon’s War / Off Limits Double Feature [DVD Review]

3 July 2011 10:38 PM, PDT | CriterionCast | See recent CriterionCast news »

Shout! Factory once again is giving us a double feature DVD, one a blaxploitation film set in New York City and the other a gritty noir-flavored film set in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Both have the connection to the war itself. And I’ll be the first to say that they are both worth your time, forgotten gems that have never seen the light of a DVD release until now.

Ossie Davis directs Gordon’s War, actor and director who made what I consider the finest blaxploitation film around (Cotton Comes To Harlem) and he does wonders with a tried and through plot consisting of a man on a mission of revenge against those who wronged the people of his neighborhood in the mode of good ol’ 70′s vigilante justice. Gordon Hudson (Paul Winfield) comes home from the Vietnam War where he finds out that his wife has died from a heroin overdose. »

Looking back at Leviathan

4 April 2011 4:26 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

We take a look back at Leviathan, a sci-fi horror hotchpotch of Alien, The Thing and Jaws, in which Peter Weller takes on a vodka-fuelled fish monster…

As 80s B-movies go, Leviathan surely boasts one of the coolest casts of the decade. Even on paper, a film that stars RoboCop, Colonel Trautman out of the Rambo movies, one of the hapless villains out of Home Alone and its sequel, plus Ghostbusters’ Winston Zeddemore sounds great. As does its premise, which is essentially a schlocky rip-off of Alien and The Thing.

One of a flotilla of undersea sci-fi thrillers to drift out of Hollywood in the decade (see also James Cameron’s flashier The Abyss, Roger Corman’s Lord Of The Deep and Sean S Cunningham’s DeepStar Six, to name a few), Leviathan was the product of the late Florentine director George Pan Cosmatos, whose work also included train-based disaster flick The Cassandra Crossing, »
