I Am Not A Hero: Manborg

ManborgPic1

Hellbots. Katana blades. War. Cyberpunk-dystopia-supreme. Demonic first impressions going down like lead balloons. One hero must rise from the ashes of humanity, forged in the retro-futuristic technology of 198X to save us from the foulest evil of the darkest depths of hell and banal, idiotic mainstream entertainment. Welcome to Manborg, the newest addition to the [...]

We’re No CNN, But Here’s Some News That Matters.

I’m good with critical analysis, with asking questions (no matter how stupid), but God do I suck at keeping up with every single press release, trailer, and trivial tidbit that comes screeching down this collective set of tubes, viruses, and nudity known as the internet. But hey, the kool thing is I can handpick what [...]

New Figures for Mad Monster Party?

I love stop motion animation. It goes back to the same root as many other people who got into the genre many years ago with the classic Rankin Bass holiday specials. Die-hard RB fans don’t just check in at Christmas tho – and now, the wait is over for some truly excellent figures based on [...]

You Left A Hole In The Back Of My Head – The Second Self And Other Short Stories…

second self

Consider me splatterhoused. Ok, now what the hell’s that supposed to mean? I’m sure the vast majority of horror fans and pop-culture obsessives are familiar with the video game; Splatterhouse was a blood-soaked homage to monster flicks in 16 Bit form, where you play as a Jason-masked hulk obliterating everything in his path – at [...]

Ironhorse – The First Hourseman of the Cinepocalypse

51Bb2H77IeL

I previously touched on my delight for this movie when I debuted the trailer for Second Self, and while getting organized and answering messages, it came screaming through to my frontal lobe and I felt the need to expound a little further and share with you my borderline-inappropriate feelings for the fantastically depraved movie Ironhorse. One [...]

Time, Space, Family & The Underlife

It takes a lot to make me stop and say “I don’t get it”. I can usually understand or at least follow the plot of the most “out there” movies, no matter how bizarre, but Underlife left me scratching my head. That’s refreshing for me, it’s highly original and keeps me out of that nasty [...]

STOP THE INTERNET! Phil Tippett’s MAD GOD Needs YOU!

As of right now, Phil Tippett’s Kickstarter campaign for Mad God has reached its goal. That doesn’t mean we should stop contributing – every little bit helps. Who’s Phil Tippett, and why should you care? Tippett is an award winning director and FX / Stop Motion artist. A masterful one. His pedigree includes: The Original [...]

A Memorable Moment with ‘The Maker’

TheMaker1

Words sometimes fail me in my critical capacity, as oft noted, sometimes to talk about art is to dance about geometry. I try any way. It’s hard to encapsulate the mad, feverish creativity in The Maker, a blindingly epic short that clocks in at 5:31 from start to finish. The story: a rabbit like creature, [...]

Razorwire Pictures Show Off Their Second Self

If you aren’t familiar with Razorwire Pictures or their brilliantly demented 2010 film Ironhorse, then leave Cinemaglob immediately, not in shame, but to wrap your mind around your own copy. Ironhorse was Monty Python meets Evil Dead on whip its, an instant classic of mayhem and hyperkinetic visuals done with a razor sharp wit and [...]

Eisner & PES Set To Recycle Garbage Pail Kids; FLASHBACK: One Man’s Trash Is Another’s TORTURE.

soggy-oggie

There are rumblings from the underbelly of the internet that Michael Eisner, after having acquired Topps Co., is making a new Garbage Pail Kids movie. I stumbled on the news from two of my favorite sites, Strange Kids Club and Topless Robot. As far as gossip goes, the rule of thumb is if you hear [...]
