This week I’m giving my (belated) thoughts on Kumoricon 2016, along with brief thoughts on Eva 3.0, and my thoughts on seeing Akira on the big screen for the first time. Read more
This time we team up with another old Krogan buddy to investigate some missing Krogan scouts, and signs of the Rachnai.
Arguably, the best films of Roger Corman’s career were his adaptations of the works of Edgar Allen Poe he made with AIP. They had some of the highest on-screen production values of the films he directed, and had some of the finest actors he ever worked with – especially this film’s stand out star, Vincent Price.

It’s interesting having viewed the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers after I’ve seen the remake. It’s interesting to see how many beats the remake cribbed from the original, but which executes on them so very differently, with a different emotional payoff. Read more
This time we take down a Cerebus air defence installation.
This time we’re continuing with Legends of the Force with a look at the first third of Marvel’s initial take on Star Wars – how it came to be, who wrote it, and the stories that were told. Read more
This time we take a moment to chat with the crew, particularly our party members, and see the state of the party.
My prose review of the horror film Death Valley is up.
What’s worse than a horror film that’s bad? A horror film that’s bad because it’s boring and annoying. This is the issue with Death Valley, a slasher film with an interesting concept, that fails in the execution in multiple respects. Read more
My prose review of Phase IV is up on the blog.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/11/film-review-phase-iv/
Phase IV is an underrated, very weird film – the only dramatic film directed by Saul Bass, who is best known as designing the movie posters and opening credits sequences for the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Read more
Cerebus has seized a colony world, and is murdering the populace, so we move in for a rescue op.

I saw Doctor Strange last weekend, and video recorded myself talking about it! There are some minor spoilers towards the very end of the video.
My prose review of the 1990 SF action film Dark Angel went up on Monday . I’ll have the link to the latest installment of the Mass Effect LP up a little bit later today.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/07/film-review-dark-angel-1990/
This time we cure the Genophage.
Dark Angel (originally released as I Come in Peace in the US) is the film I wish Predator 2 was. Read more
Quick question for my backers. I’m planning on doing a bonus episode of Legends of the Force giving a general overview of the West End Games books, but without going into details, which will not get a related blog post.So, some brief research on the Ewok films caused me to find that one of the characters from those films shows up later in the Black Fleet Crisis novels, which leads me to my question – would you be interested in videos on the two live-action Ewok films?
My Prose Review of Mr. Vampire is up.https://countzeroor.wordpress.com/2016/11/04/film-review-mr-vampire-1980/
I’m planning on covering more Hong Kong martial arts films in the future, though much of November, blog wise, will be leftover horror films from October. Think of it as pacing yourself with that leftover Halloween candy.
Jackie Chan, as a performer, is frequently compared with Buster Keaton and, as I’ve mentioned in my own review of Police Story at Letterboxd, Charlie Chaplin.
Well, Mr. Vampire, a martial arts horror-comedy film produced by Jackie Chan’s friend and fellow member of the Five Little Fortunes, is what I’d probably describe as the Hong Kong equivalent of the Abbott and Costello Meet… movies. Read more
This time we’re helping complete the Turian scout mission (and referencing one of the oldest memes on the internet).
This week I have a video of my pickups from Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2016, with an unboxing of Hyperkin’s Gen6 Controller. Read more
Cerberus troops have taken over a ground-based orbital defense platform on Tuchanka, and we’re taking it back.
