By the way, when I went into theaters and watched the trailers, I was able to catch the upcoming preview for Universal’s THE WOLFMAN. I thought Universal really killed their ability to resurrect their monsters with the awful VAN HELSING but it looks, instead, that they learned their lesson. THE WOLFMAN will be a serious remake with a lot of spills, chills, and thrills….as the saying goes.

I did get the chance yesterday to check out the new Rob Zombie shock fest HALLOWEEN 2 and I have to say all things considered he did a fine job putting together a decent sequel considering the time constraints on the film. Zombie had less than a year to write, direct, and edit the film in order to get it into theaters for a proposed release date of August 28. Another film that was famously put together in such a manner was Terminator 2. Of course, the end result of T2 was quote impressive. With Zombie’s film, we get a solid effort that has its merits and its flaws. Personally, the Dr. Loomis character added little to the film in this venture and the ghostly imagery of Michael’s mother did not really work for me. What did work was the realism in the film. Yes, this is a hyper-violent venture that many will find disturbing. However, it reflects a realism that is does not try and glorify the main villain. One of the absolute worst aspects of the 1980s horror films was the slow decent of the villains into comedy characters. Not only did such an approach not work it turned the entire horror franchise on its ear and killing the genre for over a decade. Zombie’s serious approach – and the financial success of it – ensures there is still a market for edgy, serious horror movies that go for the rawest of emotions. Zombie has announced he will be directed a remake – of all things THE BLOB – as his next feature. The Halloween franchise will continue with a new director and the third outing will be in 3-D. ============================================================================================

I thought it was kind of mind blowing that Final Destination 3-D would beat out Rob Zombie’s Halloween II at the box office. I did see Final Destination 3-D and will be checking out Halloween II today and I know why I went to see FD before H2. The main reason was I had been working 8 straight days without time off and knew I needed a break. I also knew that I was so weary from the week I probably would not concentrate on the movie I opted for FD because it was (is) a no-brainer of a film. So, if I dozed off and went to sleep, I wouldn’t miss much. (I was right on all counts) The second reason was that I wanted to check out the 3D effects because once the current 3D fad passes, it may be 25 years before we get any more 3D flicks. The last 3D craze saw a bunch of films starting with COMING AT YA! In 1982 and lasting through 1983 with such forgotten films as THE MAN WHO WASN’T THERE and STARCHASER: THE LEGEND OF ORIN. Really, the main big hit from that past 3D craze was JAWS 3D which tells you all you need to about how bad the films released at that time were. Speaking of bad, one of the absolute WORST films ever made was the RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK rip-off TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS. Honestly, as bad as it was, I would dig seeing it again on the big screen one of these days!

The other note about the less than top box office performance of HALLOWEEN II centers on its nihilism; Zombie focuses his attention on the dark, depressing, grim aspects of the horror genre. While some of the better horror films ever made possessed such attributes, audiences looking for escapism may opt to look for something a little light hearted instead.

This is certainly not to say the film was a flop. It cost $15 million to produce and as of Friday the 4th it earned a little over $20 million domestically. Clearly, this was solid enough box office that the official announcement of a third film was made. And – get this – plans are to make HALLOWEEN 3-D. Now, who would have thunk?

Sigh. Why do some of the really great books have to fall by the wayside? It has come to my attention that the brilliantly crafted sci-fi comic GODLAND will be cancelled with issue #36. This news brought a proverbial tear to my eye since the book remains one of the more eclectic and stunningly original works of creative satire I have ever read.

For those not familiar with GODLAND, it is a modern sci-fi comic that is a homage to the classic works of Jack Kirby. The art and dialogue are very akin to the type of material Kirby presented although it appears side by side with modern sarcasm that skewers heroic conventions and devices. This is not to say GODLAND is condescending to its source material. On the contrary, reading the work gives you a bit more appreciation for it. In some ways, you need to look at things from a satirical perspective in order to truly understand and appreciate the wonder of the source material.

Then, there is another benefit to GODLAND that makes it enjoyable to read: it is original. After a while, a person can get more than a little tired of reading the same old story structure in comics. That is why the presence of GODLAND on store shelves is such a plus. It is unique and different and presents a perspective that few other books are capable of delivering. Again, this is another reason why GODLAND will be missed.

Then again, how many times did they cancel MOON KNIGHT and SWAMP THING over the years? Who Knows? Maybe GODLAND will comeback sooner than we thought.

Yes, I was going to sit down and write a number of mini-reviews on several excellent comics that I recently perused. (Luke Cage Noir and Superman and Batman’s dealing with the Black Lanterns definitely deserve a mention) Unfortunately, my time commitments got the best of me and I was stuck doing a lot of extra work this week. Rather than skip out on making a new entry I though I would return to an old staple that I have not updated in a while – CLASSIC COVERS! This time, we turn the clock both to 1974 and the early inception of this blog and check out the cover to The Incredible Hulk 171.

We last looked at this issue a couple years ago when we mentioned the classic Power Records book and record set of this particular comic. As a comic book, the issue is okay. It really should have been a three part story arc. In the book and record form, it is so well put together that it really deserves a solid look and listen. Now, the cover itself is utterly brilliant. It is most definitely the type of cover that will make you want to rush out and purchase the book. So, here it is, the cover to Hulk 171.
