“War for the Planet of the Apes” from Weta Digital could well be on its way to the elusive VFX Oscar after winning four Ves trophies Tuesday night at the Beverly Hilton (including the top feature prize). Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” won for supporting VFX, Pixar’s “Coco” earned four awards (including VFX for animation), and “Game of Thrones” took home five awards (including VFX for TV).
The “Apes” finale, directed by Matt Reeves, benefited from a Shakespearean performance from Andy Serkis as Caesar, with Weta working its wizardry in much harsher conditions for the performance-captured animation. Not surprisingly, “Apes” additionally won for Caesar, the effects simulations for the thrilling avalanche, and compositing. However, although both “Rise” and “Dawn” captured Ves prizes, neither won the Oscar, so “War” is not a certainty in its race with “Blade Runner 2049.”

Horror enthusiasts all over the world are invited to read “The Uninvited,” a brand-new iPad app containing original tales of terror and sequential art. This anthology ($2.99) can be found on Apple’s App store, and it features work from contributors far and wide. More multimedia and literary content are planned for future issues, but as for when it happens will depend on the response, and the other struggles along the way.
That also includes embracing the digital generation, where almost any book can be found in electronic form, and adapting the software to run on other tablet computers. An iPhone version is in the works, but as for the desktop computer, who wants that? According to magazine founder, Adam Blainey, these computers aren't designed for reading a lengthy novel or a comic book.
“It works, but it just never caught on for psychological reasons,” says Blainey. Some people are probably afraid of transition.

With all their production values, multiple songwriters, and other studio/record label f*&kery, we don’t pay much attention to the pop album. Thank god for Lady Gaga, right? Shut up, The Fame Monster is amazing. At only eight tracks, the record doesn’t overstay its welcome nor does it feel padded with requisite show-offy ballads and other assorted filler. Even the song that does approach ballad territory sounds a bit like Queen, so it’s okay. In fact, it’s mostly heavy dance tracks, which is what you really want from a pop album, right? Well, that’s what I want, at least.
Oh, yeah. Welcome to this week in comics, where nothing gender-bends as much as Lady Gaga.

At first I wanted to feature this title because it reminded me of a John Woo film I haven’t seen yet.
