The description is as blunt and to the point as the comic itself. Picking up right where the previous issue left off, new arrivals are helping to fight back the Decepticon Justice Division. It’s good to see the lost members of the crew coming back to help when the team has its back against the wall. We also see something which comes around once in a blue moon: Rodimus having to gravel and admit he was wrong. Considering how often he is, you’d think he’d be used to it by now.
The main bulk of the issue though is the showdown between Megatron and Tarn. What happens when a man who has walked away from his past meets back up with the student who regarded him as a prophet? Simple, Tarn (the student) is angry and he will hear nothing of this new life path Megatron has chosen. Just as it looks like Megatron is going down for the count another face from his past shows up who also wants a piece of him. The issue is full of such high tension, intense dialogue, and brutal violence you can’t help but read it through several times.
Milne’s art is as on point as it ever was. Some of the best panels include Tarn and Megatron’s talk amongst the field of spark flowers representing all the lives Megatron has taken over the years. Thanks to Joana LaFuente’s color work, the book is awash with colors which help to accentuate the actions taking place.
The team has built up the action to a new height. Now all they need to do is bring it home and let the real battle between the Lost Light Crew and the Decepticon Justice Division begin. Luckily, the action and art is so spot on the team won’t have to worry about losing any readers anytime soon. Unless of course the next issue is a bloodbath, but even then what a memorial issue it would be.
Sony released a behind-the-scenes look at Kevin from the ‘Ghostbusters.’ Chris Hemsworth plays the dim-witted administrative assistant.
April 27th is Administrative Professionals Day, and the new Ghostbusters’ assistant, Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), is here to remind you to celebrate your assistant tomorrow. Kevin sets his own unique (and extremely handsome) bar as an assistant. Not every office can have a Kevin, but if your assistant keeps you organized, running on schedule, and your workplace completely free of ghosts, then he or she is just the kind of assistant that deserves celebrating.
‘Ghostbusters’ makes its long-awaited return, rebooted with a cast of hilarious new characters. Thirty years after the beloved original franchise took the world by storm, director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy, joined by some of the funniest actors working today – Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. This summer, they’re here to save the world! The film is produced by Ivan Reitman and Amy Pascal, and written by Katie Dippold & Paul Feig, based on the 1984 film “Ghostbusters,” written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis and directed by Ivan Reitman.
‘Ghostbusters’ will be released in theaters nationwide on July 15, 2016.
Papa: Hemingway in Cuba is an ambitious, lovingly crafted portrait of an influential friendship between a young writer and one of the 20th Century’s literary giants. The film is well cast, beautifully shot, and seems to make every effort towards conveying authenticity of place, time, and emotion.
Unfortunately, the script is on many occasions throughout the film heavy-handed and overwritten, a tremendous irony considering its subject. The performers here do what they can with what they’re given, but scenes meant to deliver the film’s impact are diminished as they veer off time and again into ham-fisted melodrama.
What’s it about?
In the late 1950s, Miami Globe writer Ed Myers (Giovanni Ribisi) writes a letter to his hero, Ernest Hemingway, expressing all the ways Hemingway and his works helped him find his way in life. Hemingway actually receives the letter, thanks to the efforts of Ed’s Globe co-worker, Deb (Minka Kelly, TV’s “Friday Night Lights“), and remarkably, responds by calling Myers at his newsroom desk.
“Great letter, kid,” says Hemingway to an awestruck Myers. “Do you like to fish?”
So begins an astonishing friendship, as Myers gains a father figure and mentor, while Hemingway gains a kindred spirit. But as he becomes a part of Hemingway’s life in those twilight years, he comes to see his hero in a whole different light, and bears witness as the literary giant struggles with age, regret, his tumultuous relationship with his fourth wife, Mary (Joely Richardson), and revolution changing the Cuba he’s come to love.
A true story
The script for Papa: Hemingway in Cuba comes from the late Denne Bart Petitclerc, who wrote it based on his real-life experiences and his friendship with Hemingway. Petitclerc’s affection for his friend is evident in every frame of the film, but the film doesn’t lionize Hemingway. There is an effort to show the complexity of the man – his moods, his struggles with depression, his temper, and his propensity to overindulge in alcohol.
The production, touted as the first Hollywood film to shoot in Cuba since the 1959 revolution, makes a supreme effort to compliment the script with as much authenticity as possible. As a result, Papa: Hemingway in Cuba never fails to impress in terms of the look of the production. From the late 50s-era cars to the buildings and the many scenes shot inside Hemingway’s home, now a national museum in Cuba, it’s a feast for the eyes, especially for Hemingway fans.
Director Bob Yari, along with cinematographer Ernesto Melara, fill Papa: Hemingway in Cuba with sweeping shots of glistening ocean waters, swaying palm trees, and bustling Havana streets to fully immerse audiences in the film’s world, a world few outside the island have seen in more than 50 years. Though Cuba may become a more accessible destination for Americans in the years to come, for now, the film provides a sumptuous glimpse at the island nation, in order for audiences to better understand just why someone like Hemingway would fall in love with the place as much as he did.
Casting cannot overcome script failings
Though Giovanni Ribisi carries top billing in Papa: Hemingway in Cuba, it’s Adrian Sparks who dominates the film as he brings to life Hemingway himself. Sparks, a veteran TV and stage actor who played Hemingway to great acclaim in a 2005 one-man stage play simply entitled “Papa,” simply is Hemingway – he never fails to convince as the aging writer.
Joely Richardson proves a capable match for Sparks on-screen as Mary, who was a writer and war correspondent in her own right before her marriage to Hemingway, and thus had her own stories and ego to match his. As depicted here, theirs was a love characterized by emotions both grandly displayed and willfully withheld, one that tended to be explosive when the drinking went too far on both sides. Richardson and Sparks deliver the difficult scenes effectively – it’s tough to take your eyes off the spectacle when the two throw down.
Surprisingly, for all the skill displayed in the film’s cast, their work is held back by a screenplay that at times can’t get out of its own way. Reportedly, the screen story in Papa: Hemingway in Cuba is “100% true”, thus moving the film more into the realm of docudrama than biopic. However, the wordiness of many exchanges between the characters simply goes beyond suspension of disbelief. If anything, it’s almost impossible to believe that Hemingway, with his personal literary style so synonymous with economy of words and language, would ever talk the way he does in this film.
Papa: Hemingway in Cuba also suffers from pacing issues, lumbering from one difficult exchange between characters to the next the way Hemingway himself lumbers from room to room in the house. The last half of the film supposedly covers one long weekend, but with all that happens in that span, all unfolding at a glacial pace, it feels more like a month’s time.
Worth seeing?
If there’s affection in your heart for Hemingway and/or his works, or if you have some curiosity about seeing Cuba as it was in the 1950s (which, for the most part, it still is today), then Papa: Hemingway in Cuba will make for interesting viewing. It’s by no means a must-see in theaters, however – the breathtaking views of Havana’s streets and Cuba’s beautiful beaches, as well as the glimpses inside the Hemingway home, will all be just as effective on home video.

By the end of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ Rey (Daisy Ridley) was holding her own when it comes to Jedi skills, but she is still an untrained Force user. At the end of the film, Rey finds Luke Skywalker and gives him his lightsaber back. The stakes are always higher in a sequel, and it appears Rey has some Jedi training ahead of her.
Ridley gave Star Wars fans a brief glimpse of her lightsaber training in the video below. Yoda would be proud.
‘Episode VIII’ is written and directed by Rian Johnson. The film stars Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Benicio Del Toro, Gwendoline Christie, John Boyega, Lupita Nyong’o, Peter Mayhew, Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, and Jimmy Vee.
‘Episode VIII’ will be in theaters on December 15, 2017.
IDW’s Strawberry Shortcake comic is based on the newest incarnation of the franchise, Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventures. The first issue issue has her facing off against Steve Pieman, a Yootoobz (the book’s fictional version of the website) celebrity, who obviously turns out to be the Strawberry Shortcake’s old antagonist, The Peculiar Purple Pieman. Those who haven’t seen the new show but are familiar with the Pieman should know he has not made an appearance in the new serie at all. This is his triumphant return and it feels off.
Having an older character be modernized is one thing but now he’s an internet celebrity and constantly using a selfie stick. Yeah, he’s pulling his old tricks of cheating his way to the top but he’s lacking the over the top antics of his previous incarnations and he also doesn’t the signature dance (“Yah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah-tah, tah-tah-tah-tah! Cha!”). Luckily, this Strawberry Shortcake is more keen to his tricks and is quick think he might be up to something. Good to see her being more independent and not so easily swindled like she was in the old stories.
The art captures the style of the show well. The characters are all bright and vibrant especially with the effects during the bake off. The combination of art by Amy Mebberson and Fernando Peniche doing the coloring makes for a great product.
It’s not bad but it just seems like they can do so much more especially with the Pieman. Is he going to be plotting a scheme every issue he’s in to boost his viewership on Yootoobz? Let’s hope not. Hopefully the team will take a page from the My Little Pony comics (which most of the crew has already worked on) and do some things the TV ser[easy-tweet tweet=”The Pie Man is back!” user=”@IDWPublishing” hashtags=”#IDW, #Comics, #Strawberryshortcake”]ies can’t like exploring alternate realities or flushing out some plot holes which didn’t get covered properly in the show. This issue is a dull start but there is potential. With any luck this series will become one fans will definitely have to check out.
In our never ending societal need to label every day on the calendar, it seems April 26 (4/26) is “Alien Day,” referencing the planet, LV-426, where the xenomorphs were discovered in the film. It’s a stretch, but whatever. Let the people have what they want, ya know?
And on this Alien Day, the franchise is busy churning out not one, but two films. The first, Alien: Covenant, is coming from Ridley Scott. It’s an Alien movie but it’s actually a Prometheus sequel, which was a prequel to Alien, and this one will… My head hurts.
But what makes my head hurt even more is the fact that this Neill Blomkamp sequel to the original films is still happening. It wasn’t happening, then it was, and no matter where it is in pre-production, unfortunately Neill Blomkamp is still attached as director. And now he’s posted some concept art on his Instagram that tells us one of two things:
Yes, that’s an adult Newt. This means either Blomkamp is completely ignoring David Fincher’s much maligned but underappreciated Alien 3, which opened with Newt being found dead in her pod, or it means cloning is coming back to the franchise, the sole reason for Alien: Resurrection to shoehorn Sigourney Weaver into the credits. Either way, it’s probably a mistake.
Alien 3 is not a bad film, and a nice bookend to the trilogy. Ignoring it feels spiteful, though it happens in Hollywood. But if Blomkamp plans on making this film a true fifth entry into the franchise, then he plans on using the ridiculous plot construction of Resurrection. Odds are he is ignoring Alien 3, the lesser of the two evils I suppose, especially since Sigourney Weaver has already agreed to return. So this will probably be a reset of Alien 3, picking up where Aliens left off – or maybe picking up a few years later since Newt wouldn’t age in the hyper sleep. This is getting complicated, but the most disconcerting thing about it all is the involvement of Neill Blomkamp.
I don’t really want to sit here and bash a filmmaker, it feels dirty. But I think I will for a minute. As we get further and further from District 9, one of the best sci-fi films of the 21st century, Blomkamp has been busy proving that debut masterpiece was a fluke. Elysium is loaded with problems, from Jodie Foster’s weird over acting, to the fleeting nature of the plot, to Sharlto Copley showing up as the villain from what seemed to be an entirely different movie. And then there was Chappie (which has its defenders but, c’mon), a mean-spirited, grating movie length Die Antwoord music video. I aggressively dislike Chappie, and I have little to no faith in Blomkamp anymore.
What’s wrong with a Prometheus sequel? Well, besides it being a Prometheus sequel, that is. It’s a new adventure in the same universe, and might be able to rebound from the overwritten first film. We don’t really need a fifth Alien film with Weaver and the old crew. That story has been told. Tell a new story with new characters and see what happens. And let Blomkamp continue to Shyamalan himself with another original flop.
Many will site Rage Against the Machine’s debut, self-titled album as their best. It was (is) powerful stuff from a then 22-year old Zack de la Rocha and 28-year old guitar savant Tom Morello, when their album slipped in between the Nirvana and Pearl Jam grunge tidal wave back in 1992. But it was precursor, a raw album of a band seeking to fine tune its perfect blend of punk, funk, metal, and hip hop. The message was in the lyrics, one of revolution and civil disobedience, but the energy of the band hadn’t peaked.
Then in April of 1996 came Evil Empire.
Evil Empire is Rage Against the Machine’s signature work. It is a stirring, violent, whip-smart lyrical masterpiece with a flow from song to song lacking in the debut album. It was the album of my teens, the CD always in the changer or ready to alter the mood of a party. The past 20 years have only increased my admiration from what de la Rocha, Morello, drummer Brad Will, and bassist Tim Commerford created.
It kicks off with a get-you-off-your-seat rock wallop, the short and twisty “People of The Sun.” Then it follows up with one of the band’s biggest hits to knock you back down, “Bulls on Parade.” The one-two punch of Morello’s bendy chords and de la Rocha working to snap off his angry lyrics with a perfect hip-hop cadence is serene.
https://youtu.be/wH15-L9xnRY
From there, Rage Against the Machine settle into a steady and balanced groove of thumping funk charges (“Vietnow”, “Revolver”), spinning anger (“Snakecharmer”)”, and work their way to one of the other big hits of the album: “Down Rodeo.”
I had no reason to identify with “Down Rodeo,” a white teen from a decent small town without much animosity and social injustice in my life. Without wading too far into political waters, I didn’t have any reason for de la Rocha to grab me… but he did. It spoke to the power of his simultaneously shrill and grizzly voice, and to the lyrics he was spitting at me. They were eye opening, and they pointed me in the direction of questioning rather than accepting.
“Rollin’ down Rodeo with a shotgun/These people ain’t seen a brown-skinned man since they grandparents bought one.”
The refrain is deliciously layered, and these few words changed the way I perceived the world outside my bubble. It was time to step outside my comfort zone and question authority.
In the latter part of Evil Empire, Rage Against the Machine goes from hip-hop heavy (“Without a Face”) to anthemic (“Wind Below”), before flexing their punk muscles in “Roll Right.” And then, right when you suspect all the aggression has been spilled out on the studio floor, they tie everything up with “Year of tha Boomerang,” maybe the most balanced and fiery indictment of The Power Structure. And Morello screeching guitar intro tells the listener they aren’t off the hook yet:
Rage Against the Machine would have two more albums – Battle of Los Angeles and the fantastic cover album Renegades – before breaking up in 2000 and taking off into other projects (the announcement of de la Rocha leaving the band came on the heels of Tim Commerford climbing the stage decorations at the MTV Music Video Awards). And both have their merit.
But none of them hold a candle to the completeness of this sophomore effort. It’s Rage peaking, hitting their sweet spot before inner turmoil and political dissidence would dissolve the camaraderie in the band itself. Happy 20th anniversary, Evil Empire.
Disney and Marvel Studios released a new television trailer with new footage of Spider-Man fighting the Winter Soldier (Bucky).
“Dude! You have a metal arm! That is so cool,” said Spider-Man.

This week’s episode of Outlander, “Useful Occupations and Deceptions,” moved around a lot but didn’t accomplish much in the way of plot development. The only serious developments were Jamie and Murtagh’s developing a plan for stopping the Jacobite uprising and Claire’s realization that the stammering Mary Hawkins is actually her 20th-century husband Frank‘s ancestor. Claire’s inner monologue describing the implications of Mary Hawkins’s lineage represent another brief return for Outlander to the Fantasy genre, back from Romantic Historical Fiction. Also, Claire and company met Mother Hildegarde (Frances de la Tour)–the harpsichord-playing nun with a keen medicinal sense–and her dog Bouton–who can apparently smell infections (woof).
“Useful Occupations and Deceptions” – The Recap
While Jamie works to figure out a way to cut off funding for the Jacobite uprising, Claire feels unfulfilled in her life as an 18th century Lady. Of course, Claire’s lack of fulfillment may have something to do with her lack of intimacy. Jamie is still recovering from his rape at the hands of Black Jack Randall and is even unavailable lately as a bed warmer due to the demands on him in his twin roles as wine merchant/4th-dimensional battler of history.
Jamie’s quest to alter history keeps him out at brothels a fair bit: it seems this is where Charles Stuart holds most of his meetings. In one such meeting involving Jamie, Joseph Duverney, and Charles Stuart, Charles reveals that the Jacobite cause can now boast of having three wealthy English backers. This information catches Jamie off guard, convinced as he is that the only way the Jacobites will get their funding is through King Louis XV of France. Determined to learn the truth of Charles’s claims, Jamie enlists the services of a young pickpocket who will steal letters to and from Charles.
Back at the Fraser house, Claire’s sexual frustration builds to a fever pitch when she walks in on Murtagh and her Lady’s maid, Suzette, “frolicking between the sheets” as Murtagh puts it. After snapping at and then apologizing to Murtagh, Claire tells him that she recently found out that Black Jack Randall is still alive and can’t decide whether to tell Jamie or not. Murtagh commiserates but doesn’t offer much insight into the matter. As Murtagh returns to Suzette, Claire makes her way to her new friend Master Raymond‘s apothecary shop in order to get Suzette some prophylactics.
Claire runs into her newly minted nemesis, le Comte St. Germain, at Master Raymond’s whose ship was burnt after Claire identified it as being infected with smallpox. The two exchange frosty glances and pleasantries but nothing more. Master Raymond excuses his dealings with St. Germain reminding Claire that their shared profession often demands that they deal with a number of people they’d rather avoid. Raymond provides Claire with Suzette’s prophylactics and suggests that if Claire’s feeling unfulfilled that she volunteer her services as a healer at L’Hôpital des Anges, a nearby charity hospital run by nuns.
Claire’s into some freaky stuff
Claire’s new volunteer work makes her unavailable one night to help Jamie try to determine how to go about stopping the Jacobite uprising. So, when she comes home after a long day of tasting urine and exposing her unborn child to any number of infectious diseases, Jamie is a bit miffed. Claire agrees to avoid helping anyone who’s infectious–that’s always easy to do when treating the ill–and to try to be more available to Jamie.
At tea with Louise de La Tour and Mary Hawkins, Claire remembers why she recognized Mary’s name: she saw it in Frank’s family tree. More surprising than the realization that she’s been having tea with one of her husband’s ancestors is Claire’s memory of who Mary Hawkins’s husband was/will be, Jonathan “Black Jack” Randall. This means that Claire must not prevent the naïve Mary Hawkins from marrying the sadistic Black Jack. Otherwise, history would be altered in such a way as to prevent Claire from ever traveling back in time, because if Frank had never existed then Claire would have never gone to the circle of stones that brought her back to the 18th century.
While Claire treats wounds and is treated to the spectacle of Bouton’s diagnostic skills, Jamie intercepts letters to and from Charles. One such letter is written in musical code and (wouldn’t you know it?) the only person who can help interpret the code is Mother Hildegarde. Mother Hildegarde, after some “Baroque-ass” name-dropping–apparently she corresponds with Bach–, is able to identify that the piece of music changes keys wildly. So, Mother Hildegarde determines, as Jamie notes in a particularly uninspired bit of script-writing, “The key is the key.” The letter is decoded and the three learn that Charles’s English benefactors are real. The man who sent the letter turns out to be the Duke of Sandringham intent upon meeting Charles.
Sandringham’s involvement bolsters Jamie’s spirits, positive he can convince the Duke that the Jacobite uprising is a bad investment choice. Unlike Jamie, it’s not all smiles for Murtagh and Claire. The two realize that if Jamie meets with Sandringham then he’ll also meet Alex Randall, the Duke’s servant and Black Jack Randall’s brother, and it won’t take long for Jamie to learn that Black Jack isn’t dead. When Jamie leaves the room, Murtagh insists that Claire tell him that Black Jack is still alive. Instead, she simply remarks on how good it is to see Jamie so happy.
“Useful Occupations and Deceptions” – My Critique
Although “Useful Occupations and Deceptions” featured one of the show’s rare discussions of time travel, the only content that sets Outlander apart from similar Romantic Historical Fiction shows like The Tudors, my general complaint is that it’s too much of the same in a season that seems obsessed with setting the stage. And, it was a strange choice to have Claire note that she recognized Mary Hawkins’s name in “Not in Scotland Anymore” and then to confirm the relatively obvious reason for her recognizing the name in “Useful Occupations and Deceptions.”
Also putting my kilt in a twist is a problem I’ve been having with this season in general. As it seems that the Jacobite uprising could be unstoppable, why don’t Jamie and Claire just retire to a safe place, have several children, and raise them as Scots? That seems a more positive way to ensure that Highland culture survives. “Useful Occupations and Deceptions” should’ve addressed this problem if only by having Jamie or Murtagh dismiss the notion of leaving as cowardly.
Another month comes and goes in 2016. This means new releases are coming to Netflix. Strap yourselves in and find out what geeky shows and movies you should be watching this month.
1. Lolirock Season 1 (May 1st)
Did you binge Glitter Force and now need more magical girl in your diet? Then check this French animated series out. Looks to be a combination of Jem and The Holograms and Sailor Moon. Since it’s about a group of girls who also sing in a band, it will no doubt be filled with the sugary pop songs much like Glitter Force was.
2. The Nutty Professor (May 1st)
There was a time when movie fans actually looked forward to Eddie Murphy films. Want to know why people enjoyed them so much? Then look no further than the Nutty Professor, a comedy where Murphy plays multiple characters and drops so many one liners you’ll find yourself quoting them for days to come.
3. Sixteen Candles (May 1st)
The classic John Hughes film which showed how hard it is being a teenager. For those who are tired of My Super Sweet 16, check out this movie, where Sam’s (Molly Ringwald) family actually forgets her birthday and she has no choice but to deal with it. Combine this heartbreak with a day which just won’t end and you have a film you need to check out.
4.Pleasantville (May 1st)
Every wanted to live in the perfect sitcom world you used to watch on TV? No, of course not. You’re a geek; you want to live in a world where it’s possible to get bitten by a radioactive spider and take a ride in the TARDIS. Still, this film explores how the perfect worlds presented in TV just wouldn’t hold up when real world thinking is added to them and how a little emotion can go a long way.
5. The Replacements (May 2nd)
This is a sports movie for those who don’t like sports movies. Picture this, a group of former athletes including a SWAT team member, some bouncers, a soccer star are recruited to play football with Keanu Reeves as the quarterback and Gene Hackman as the coach. Sound entertaining? You have no idea and you owe it to yourself to check this gem out.
6. Shanghai Knights (May 4th)
Even Jackie Chan’s more hardcore fans will agree some of his films are hit or miss. Still, this one is definitely one to check out. The sequel to Shanghai Noon, Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson must team up once again to journey to London to find a missing Imperial seal and stop a plot to assassinate the royal family. Oh Jackie, how do you get into these situations?
7. Goosebumps (May 11th)
The surprisingly entertaining film about the classic scary novel series finally makes its way to Netflix. Watch as Jack Black plays R.L. Stine who has to go up against all the classic creatures he wrote about. It will make you want to go back and read some of your classic stories. Or at least watch the old TV series. All five season are on Netflix by the way.
8. American Dad: Season 10 (May 17th)
Despite the fact it had to switch networks, American Dad didn’t lose any of its charm in the transition. In the season, Hayley goes blond, Stan becomes a campus security guard, and Wheels and the Legman are once again on the case. This is definitely one you’ll want to binge on.
9. Lady Dynamite (May 20th)
A new series from the guy who created Arrested Development….what? You need more? This is a comedy from the guy who gave us Arrested Development. You owe it to him to check it out…wait? You’ve never seen Arrested Development? *Sigh* Okay. Then you have two things to watch this month.
10. The Do-Over (May 27th)
It’s an Adam Sandler movie…Wait, wait! This one looks like people are going to be shooting guns at him…Thanks for coming back. Anyways, this is the second of Sandlers “made for netflix” films. Though we prefer not to talk about the racial offensive Ridiculous 6, this new film has him starring with David Spade. So hopefully it will be entertaining at the very least.
