I always feel as though I need a shower after reading Peepland. This is not the nostalgic 1980′s of a John Hughes movie, this is a dark, seedy underbelly peopled by bad people doing very bad things, and good people doing bad things for good reason. Or so they think. Sex worker Roxy and boyfriend Nick, in dragging that tape with the murder on it all over town, have inadvertently escalated events as rich slime ball Simon Went tries to find them, killing everyone in his way. There’s a whole lot more going on than that of course, but Roxy and Nick are the hooks on which everything else hangs.

Three issues behind us, and things have really started to move forward at speed. Although the central story follows sex worker Roxy and on/off boyfriend Nick Zero, and the bad guys in pursuit of the tape they possess showing a murder, the book excels by juggling this with all those other characters and subplots. The central plot is like the middle of a wheel, with all the subplots moving outwards from it. Roxy with Nick (and Kat), Aiesha with son Zee, Simon Went protecting his son, and a handful of other minor characters coming and going. It’s a well written tapestry of a place and time that although not that long ago, seems to be of a completely different age.

The first two issues of this title really took me by surprise as I was kind of expecting not to like it. T&A has always sold to a certain demographic, and I thought this was a case of making an easy buck or two. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Yes, the book has very adult themes, nudity and sex, but it is a realistic sex industry we see here. Seedy, dangerous, but made up in part by ordinary people like you and I. Christa Faust, co-writer with Gary Phillips, was around in that 80′s New York sex industry, so you know it’s as authentic as it comes.

Sex sells, right? Well, that’s what Titan and Hard Case Crime are hoping with the launch of this new series. Co-written by Christa Faust, who as a former fetish model and dominatrix knows of what she speaks, and Gary Phillips, another prose crime fiction writer. This is very much Faust’s baby, set as it is in mid-1980′s Times Square, New York, the exact time and place Faust was manning those same peep booths. The characters are also based on real people she knew and interacted with, so Peepland sure won’t lack for authenticity. I’m reviewing the first two issues together, which should give a good feel of how the book will be.
The first half of Issue 1 does two things. We get a passing introduction to the mid 1980′s sex trade in Times Square,...

With 2015 looking like the year of the sequel, 2014 is very much an original affair with the likes of 12 Years a Slave, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Lego Movie and George Clooney’s Monuments Men all being released. That said, there are still a fair few sequels being released this year including the likes of Captain America: Winter Soldier, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, 300: Rise of an Empire and Muppets Most Wanted and The Raid 2: Berandal. Reboots this year include the latest Jack Ryan movie with Chris Pine taking the lead role in Shadow Recruit and a remake of Robocop.

We told you last month about the PBS special presentation Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle that would be premiering in October, and tonight’s the night! Tuesday nights are pretty jam-packed for Our Kind of Viewing, but this one looks like it should get some priority.
We have a TV spot and the clip from the first hour to get you primed, and the press release is included again below so you’ll get the full details, including the info on the accompanying book and Blu-ray.
Here’s a quick scheduling note: After the initial broadcast the three hours are broken into three one-hour parts and have slightly different titles, though at least in my area they will still be aired one right after the other. So if you’re thinking of DVR-ing it, check the titles and time carefully so you don’t miss out on any of the three hours.

I still have a lot of new pictures to preview from the films that will be premiering at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival and I'm hoping to get to a lot of them today and first up is The Railway Man from director Jonathan Teplitzky (Burning Man) and starring Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine (War Horse), Nicole Kidman, Stellan Skarsgard and Hiroyuki Sanada. And just above is a new look at Firth in the film which was shot by Garry Phillips. Based on the bestselling novel, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax (Firth), a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labor camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past. The film...

Tragically overlooked by much of the Western cinematic consciousness this passed year, Burning Man came to be one of the biggest films of the year in its home country of Australia, taking the Awgie Award from the Australian Writers’ Guild for best picture and host of nominations from the Film Critics Circle of Australia along the way. Like its shattered protagonist, the film’s narrative arrives in a series of vibrant and intense flourishes trying recklessly to place the images into some form of understanding. Slow motion car accidents, occasional skin exposure, lots of shouting accompanied by tears, plenty of moments with obvious impact are presented, but no context. That arrives in carefully mapped out bits and pieces to provide an excellently executed emotional punch to the gut that while not being completely autobiographical, does draw authenticity from the heart and soul of writer/director Jonathan Teplitzky’s own experiences.

“I don’t wash.”
Westpac in New Zealand has followed up a campaign that invited kiwis to start asking questions about their money with a comedy ad introducing a group of ageing flatmates still forced to share because they haven’t got a home of their own yet.
The ad from Ddb Nz was directed by Tim Bullock, one of agencies’ favourite choices for directing funny commercials.
One question the bank has been asked through its Facebook app is: ‘What do I need for a house of my own?’

When the news broke last night that Disney were to buy Lucasfilm and that a new Star Wars movie will be out in cinemas in the same summer as The Avengers 2 sent the internet as close to meltdown as I’ve seen it.
Rarely have I seen so many Photoshopped mash-ups (Disney Princess Leia, The Emperor’s New Groove etc) thrown out into the twittersphere so quickly. Few saw it coming and yet as the disbelief subsided there was an outporing of opinion and conjecture as to what this all meant.
Disney now own Marvel, Pixar (which begin as part of Ilm) and now Lucasfilm and this summer’s The Avengers proved that Disney can deliver up a fine film, exceeding expectations of critics, the fans and their shareholders, in this instance by employing the right people to do the job. But is the continuation of the Star Wars...

Tinker Troubled Trashed Tom: Teplitzky’s Unconventional Debut Rises to the Occasions
Like its shattered protagonist, Burning Man‘s narrative arrives in a series of vibrant and intense flourishes trying recklessly to place the images into some form of understanding. Slow motion car accidents, occasional skin exposure, lots of shouting accompanied by tears, plenty of moments with obvious impact are presented, but no context. That arrives in carefully mapped out bits and pieces to provide an excellently executed emotional punch to the gut that while not being completely autobiographical, obviously bares authenticity from the heart and soul of writer/director Jonathan Leplitzky.
We are introduced to Tom (Matthew Goode) as a successful chef, but a man trying to fill a very dark void. His short fuse and spitfire tongue can’t seem to be tamed, and hookers just don’t seem to be doing the trick in bed. Soon we...

Perfectly timed, this essay penned by mystery writer Gary Phillips, was actually posted on the La Times' Hero Complex site a day Before last night's report that Marvel Studios might be pushing forward with a Black Panther movie. It doesn't seem like it was read by many, so I'm sharing it here so you can check it out. Here's a snip: Gone are the days when every African-American hero needed the word “Black” in their name (why limit the mandatory skin-color identification? Ladies and gentlemen, meet White Flash, Magenta Sinestro and Green Hulk). But when curious fans and frustrated creators ask why comic book titles are dominated by white...

This week down at the comical book shop: The super-heist is put into motion; You can launder cash, but not your soul; Gangster, guns, and girls; The fall of the homemade superhero.
Supercrooks #3–I think this book will go down as Mark Millar’s most well put together series since Wanted, or maybe the first Kick-Ass. This is likely the least eye-rolling of the many eye-rolling books the guy has put out over the years. The characters are believeable–sympathetic without sentiment. The antagonists are not as off-the-charts bugfuck as most Millar antagonists are, but are still genuine shitheels. And Leinil Francis Yu has been turning in some of the finest art of his career. By this point, if you’re not buying these in single issues, you’re waiting for the trade, and I don’t think there’s much I could say to dissuade you from that. But...

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window is easily one of my favourite films, with James Stewart and Grace Kelly never better than in Hitch’s textured tale of the mystery of the sudden disappearance of a neighbour.
Artist Jeff Desom has created a visual installation based on the film, taking each individual component of the impressive set and aligning them as it would be seen if we were standing at the window of Jefferies’ window.
This video shows how it was done and then runs the events of the films in order. For more information on how it was done click here.
Sadly what you don’t get to see from this vantage point is the best kiss in cinematic history.
Here’s the video, thanks to Gary Phillips for the heads up.

Burning Man, Jonathan Teplitzky’s third cinematic offering, proves a small budget Australian film can stand tall on a global stage. Georgina Pearson spoke with Teplitzky about the film’s creation.
Within our society there is a common underlying thread. That unspoken C word, only ever briefly discussed or tentatively skirted during dinner party conversation. Despite a growing abundance of people living with or affected by cancer, it still remains the elephant in the room. Jonathan Teplitzky’s, Burning Man does no such tiptoeing.
Trailing the wake of one man’s grief, it provides a harrowing snapshot of the devastation such a disease can cause. Based in-part on Teplitzky’s personal experience, viewers are plunged headfirst into the fragmented world of Tom (Matthew Goode), a British chef living in Bondi whose wife is dying of breast cancer. Unconventionally raw, Burning Man showcases the often ignored emotional fallibility of the male.

The Opera House is hugely recognisable – but there are literally millions of people who visit it each year, who have never been to an actual performance there,” says Caroline David, producer of the Ship Song Project. Based upon Nick Cave’s “The Ship Song”, it is an online campaign that invited Australian and international musicians to pay homage to the theatre.
“The Opera House like all businesses needs to make money to survive, so the aim with this project was to de-mystify the House and make it accessible to everyone and in particular the youth market,” explains David, a producer at Exit Films. The film moves through both back and front of house, introducing performers such as Silverchair’s Daniel Johns, Kev Carmody, Sarah Blasko, Martha Wainwright, Sydney Symphony, The Temper Trap, The Australian Chamber Orchestra, and John Bell of Bell Shakespeare who all offered their time for free. On their scheduled shoot day,...
