  • Author, Kim Newman talks “Dracula Cha Cha Cha”

    Author, Kim Newman talks “Dracula Cha Cha Cha”

    If you’re a fan of Dracula novels then Kim Newman’s name will sound very familiar. He’s written a marvelous series of books that are alternate histories and weave their way through real events and fictional ones. The first book, “Anno Dracula” was about the main characters’ involvement with count Dracula in the 1880s when he…

    “World Without End”: Epic Mini Series

    Ken Follett’s much-loved novel “World Without End” was made into a mini-series.  It can be difficult to capture the depth of a novel; a challenge to find the same pace and ability to build character.  This mini-series is spot-on.  If you need a little bit of excitement to entice you well – there are epic…

    “Excision” Is An Insanely Good Film: A Hallowe’en Must-See!

    When I found out there was a movie that brought together Traci Lords, John Waters, Malcolm McDowell, Marlee Matlin and Matthew Gray Gubler I had to see it.  When I saw that it starred AnnaLynne McCord from 90210 I wasn’t so sure. I’m glad I took a chance on it.  I’m not gonna lie, AnnaLynne…

    “American Standards” Signs With “We Are Triumphant”

    You might not think it… but I’ve taken in my share of death metal, hardcore punk, speed metal – you name it.  Over the years the labels change but the sound is still there.  I’ve been front of stage for SNFU, Kentucky Church Bus, Hudson Mack, Sofa Kingdom and many others.  I’ve got a scar…

    Top Five Shopping “Get’s” – by Nancy M. Nelson When I sat down to pen this first ‘Get Real’ entry, I had intended to discuss the pro’s and con’s of this season’s continued obsession with printed pants.  But, as I began compiling my list, I realized jumping in feet first may not have been the…

    An eclectic group of actors has been brought together for an upcoming project.  “Windsor Drive” follows River Miller, a young actor living with bi-polarity.  River moves to Hollywood to try out for a role in a remade classic film and things begin to unfold.

    Kevin J. Anderson on “The Martian War”

    Author, Kevin J. Anderson took some time to answer some questions for IMP magazine this week. His book “The Martian War” is newly released by Titan Books.  Have you ever pondered the idea that H.G.

    If you take a look around any urban environment these things are always lurking.  Sometimes, I feel compelled to capture them where they’ve been left.

  • Review: “Looper”

    Review: “Looper”

    One thing is crucial when watching a movie that involves any kind of time travel: the ability to suspend your disbelief.  There’s really no way around the fact that any kind of time travel is a set up for inconsistencies and philosophical loops. That’s pretty important when you go to see “Looper“.  The interesting thing is that…

    REVIEW: “The Martian War”: New From Kevin J. Anderson

    In the late 1800s, H. G. Wells wrote “The War of the Worlds“.  This story was the crest of the wave of invasion stories; the aliens began arriving and were, more often than not, ready to get rid of humankind.  “The War of the Worlds” was a first-person recount of the invasion: a written version…
