Advance Review: 'Not All Robots' #2 Is A Dark Satire That Is Only Getting Darker

Advance Review: ‘Not All Robots’ #2 Is A Dark Satire That Is Only Getting Darker

While Mike Deodato Jr.’s artwork in Not All Robots #2 evokes a seriousness and a certain sense of realism Mark Russell’s writing continues to be written with his tongue firmly placed in his cheek.  This is, after all, a satirical swipe at our slavish acceptance and compliance to the technical wonders our modern world is throwing up daily. It may start with self-driving cars and friendly…

'Dune' Divides Critics At Venice Premiere

‘Dune’ Divides Critics At Venice Premiere

Normally, we don’t follow the advanced critical response to upcoming films, but Dune is not a normal film. Consequently, the response to Denis Villeneuve‘s adaption of Frank Herbert‘s novel, screened at the Venice International Film Festival last night, is polarized. Some laud it as a stunning achievement of filmmaking while others pan it in terms eerily similar to David Lynch‘s 1984 adaptation…

Action genre vet Maggie Q portrays Anna, the titular protege. As a child in Vietnam, Anna was rescued, brought to The States, and subsequently raised by an infamous hitman known only as Moody (Samuel L. Jackson). Of…
