We’ve got more Spaghetti western action from Guest Reviewer Lee Broughton — the more obscure they become, the more fanciful the concept. This creative 1968 entry foregrounds a gothic vibe and employs imagery and narrative devices that Lee says would fit well in a horror movie. Italo western fans know the regular actors Fernando Sancho, Femi Benussi and Aldo Sambrell, who star alongside Lang Jeffries and future Pedro Almodóvar star Marisa Paredes.

Let's give a cheer for the lowly sword 'n' sandal epic. This persecution and torture spectacle also takes in the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. The impressively mounted Italian-Spanish production stars Rhonda Fleming, Fernando Rey, Wandisa Guida, and as the slimy villain, none other than Serge Gainsbourg.

The Details
Directed by Jacob Aaron Estes
Written by Jacob Aaron Estes
USA, 2011
Tobey Maguire exists in a kind of netherworld as a performer. When he played Peter Parker in the original Spider-Man trilogy, he was often criticized for looking too old to play a high school senior or, later, a college freshman. (This, despite the fact that Maguire displayed the right mix of goofiness and angst as Peter and his masked alter ego, more so than Andrew Garfield.) However, though he may look too old to play 20, he’s not yet fully believable as a husband and father, a family man rent asunder by his own dark temptations. Thus, as the foundation of The Details, a twisted new suburban satire, Maguire’s not fully able to sell the adult struggles his lead character goes through.

Fantastic Four: Doomgate by Jeffrey Lang (Pocket Star, pb, 309 pp, $7.99)
It’s clobberin’ time as the Fantastic Four—that Marvel Comics family of superheroes created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby almost half-a-century ago—get involved in another adventure. This fourth in Pocket’s series of original Ff paperback novels (out months ago though we just bought it at the comics store and read it Sunday) hinges on a “failed” experiment by Victor Von Doom (from back when Doom and Reed Richards were college classmates), now resurrected by a current Empire State University grad student. Suddenly, an evil darkness overshadows New York City (again with the evil darkness!), prompting some of its citizens to exhibit their inner monsters. Chaos ensues!
As in many classic Ff comics tales, the team faces this latest challenge in solo one-on-whatever confrontations. High above the U.S.A. in the S.H.I.E.L.D. heli-carrier, Richards (a.k.
