Westworld coming to HBO

By

The teaser trailer for HBO's Westworld was released and is creating quite the buzz. The original film of the same name was released in 1973 and came from the mind of Michael Crichton. It pre-dated The Terminator and most films that had machines turn against man.

Yul Brynner who had already made a name for himself as a gunslinger in The Magnificent Seven films donned his black hat again to play one of the androids in the theme park known as "West World". Ed Harris is listed as one of the cast members for the HBO version and if +The Blogboard Jungle has a guess, he's playing the same role Brynner did.



Harris has been in the movie business for a while and most likely has been in more than one western, but his best role is in that of Appaloosa. In it he plays a hardened law man hired to clean up a town named from the films title. Anthony Hopkins makes an appearence in the teaser trailer but not a lot is given away. That's what teaser trailers are for anyway, to make you antsy for what is coming out in 2016.

If you are unfamiliar with Westworld, check out the original film and it should peak your interest in this show. Think Jurassic Park but with killer robots instead of dinosaurs. Crichton seemed to have a thing for theme parks. The original film was PG-13 but with HBO it'll most likely have an R rating. Westworld is a classic, if you would like to add it to your collection click the image to pick it up on Amazon. If you have not seen the trailer here it is below:

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
