Returning back from the land of celluloid, scooper 'Verbal Kent' fills us in with his take of
the upcoming John Travolta/Emma Thompson slice o' political life film, Primary Colors.
Verbal had some glowing comments to make about the Mike Nichols picture scheduled for general
release next March 20th, even going so far to call it "the Fargo of the politcal kind."

Alien Resurrection reviews are flooding in...
...and overall, audiences are embracing the film with open arms (or talons, if you're a
biomechanoid) and its opening weekend gross should turn out to be very healthy.
We spotted director Joel Schumacher (he of Batman and Robin infamy) taking in the
3:00 show at the L.A. ABC Complex theaters Tuesday afternoon; we thought it best not to tap him
on his shoulder during the coming attractions and ask if he felt an unpoliced Internet was watching
his every move. While Joel hasn't sent us his review just yet, die-hard Alien fans have sent in
their extremely detailed reviews as the American audiences
flock to see the show (the picture's released Friday in Canada and the United Kingdom.)

Technopolis Comic Book
Sure you know that X-Men, Batman and Spawn were all comic books before they
became movies...but did you know that Men in Black and The Crow were also comics before
they became box office sensations? Well, this might be your chance to take a look at the next big thing:
go sneak a peek at
www.technopolis.vividpage.net
where you'll be able to enter the world of Technopolis. Not only does it have the
distinction of being published last month by Caliber Comics (the same fellas who published
The Crow) but it also just happens to be co-written by yours truly (ah -- you knew there
was a reason to this, didn't ya?) It's made a small but notable ripple in the big ocean of comic
books, gathered some pretty decent reviews and sold out in a couple of parts of America!
Not only is the story is a cool mix of retro science fiction, film noir and pulp adventure, but
the art inside kicks some ass as well. Issue two is hitting stands next month, but you can get a jump on the rest of the pack and check out a
preview of the issue at the comic's website.
There's also samples from the artist's sketchbook,
pages of published and upcoming issues, clips of the reviews we've been getting and the story's
background and bible online. The comic can be ordered from any comic book store or from the
information listed on the webpage. Once you've read it send either myself or Adrie (the artist)
an email and let us know what you thought of it!

each battle sequence in Starship Troopers...
