Looper: The Animated Trailer

Pretty damn awesome. So, an animated trailer for the sci-fi, time traveling Looper has made it’s way on the ‘net, and it’s a piece of work. The art style is scratchy, very Alex Maleev inspired in my mind (most well known for his epic work on Daredevil). The art, the musical score, it all works great for this! Plus, from […]

Then, the more I saw of the film, including the giant witch head in the […]

Movie Review: The Expendables 2

By Nolan Patrick Smith-Pastrami Nation Two years ago, The Expendables brought together a who’s who of the action film genre. With a blend of classic action heroes and more modern day ones, the film was a sight to behold. Stallone, Statham, Lee, Willis, Schwarzenegger, and more: it was an action packed blast.
