Post by Your Urban Fantasy. Short list of celeb run-ins and spottings: Manu Bennett Olivia Munn Teen Wolf Almost Human (Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, etc.) Psych cast members Anne Rice The Walking Dead Big Bang Theory The Following (with Kevin Bacon) Chris Evans Samuel L. Jackson Neil Patrick Harris Hi everyone! So I recently returned from San Diego for Comic Con and I have to say it was my best…
Native American warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice. I’d like to think that remakes are a great way of introducing a new audience to an age-old, but beloved franchise. I personally didn’t grow up watching or following this show, but I knew a few things about it. Unfortunately, I don’t think this film did the franchise…
World War Z United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself. I just returned from a screening for it this evening and I have to say it was very good. I have not read the novels purposely so as to not have any bias toward the movie (positive…
If you live in the US we’ve got a pretty big weekend coming up. I got the chance to screen a few new films. Fast & Furious 6 Agent Luke Hobbs enlists Dominic Toretto and his team to bring down former Special Ops soldier Owen Shaw, leader of a unit specializing in vehicular warfare. If you’re a fan of the franchise (especially Fast 5), then I don’t see why you…
Synopsis: Hailed by USA Today as “a thrill ride best described as The Da Vinci Code meets Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Danielle Trussoni’s bestselling first novel, Angelology, wove biblical lore, the Orpheus myth, and Milton’s Rebel Angels into a present-day world tinged with the divine supernatural. The novel plunged two endearing loners—art historian V. A. Verlaine and Evangeline, a beautiful young nun—into an ancient battle between a secret society…
I was lucky enough to attend an early screening last night, so I just figured I’d share some thoughts. The pros: 1) Excellent use of 3D. Usually movies these days tack it on for the markup value, but the 3D actually enhanced the experience quite a bit. I’m one to be disappointed in a lot of 3D versions these days. It also didn’t give me a headache which tends to…
With the newly released film, this is a perfect time to promote the books. $2.99 is a pretty great deal. Even better it looks like you can get all four of the series for $2.99 a piece. Click here for the deal!
It’s taking a slightly different approach than the usual Harper Voyager link, but it’s easy to access all the same to read chapter 3: http://harpervoyagerbooks.com/2013/01/15/exclusive-chapter-three-of-kim-harrisons-ever-after-122/ Of course if you’d rather read through part of chapter 6, then by all means go here: http://www.harpercollins.com/browseinside/index.aspx?isbn13=9780061957918 Enjoy! P.S. And forgive me for being a little slow on the posts lately. Assassin’s Creed has pretty much occupied all of my free time! Ezio Auditore…
We’ve become so accustomed to vampires, werewolves and the like dominating as love interests in paranormal/urban fantasy realm. We may get the occasional demon or angel, but rarely do we see zombies fill that role, and for good reason. It’s really not that hott when the guy is rotting away and wants to take chunks out of you. Isaac Marion proves that he not only knows the rules, but he…
I’ll be honest and say that I really hadn’t heard much about this book before seeing the motion picture preview; it looked really funny and campy. I’m always up for a good zombie satire (I’m a big Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland fan), but in this case I wanted to read the book as well. Why not? It’s only 240 pages. Certainly doable. And boy am I glad I…
