Reel Dread: The French are Coming!

By Desmond Reddick
02 July 2009 — Much has been made recently about the emergence of a new wave of French horror cinema. But six films over six years is far from a wave. The French don't make many horror films, and few of those make it over to the North American market. But their penchant for taking the art to its extreme is one that you would think would fit the horror genre to a T. Let's look at some of the recent films that have taken that artistic principle and spurred this "new wave," as well as the effect it has had on American cinema.

The Batman Adventures #4

By Erin Bentley
01 July 2009 — After having a less than spectacular introduction into The Batman Adventures, I had an interesting thought: comic book creating is a lot like baking. If something is not right, change the recipe up. And that is exactly what happened with this issue. There is a new creative team, as well as the debut of Robin in the series. Let us hope that the added spice makes the issue a little sweeter.

I Kill Giants

By Aaron Robinson
25 June 2009 — The real world doesn't make much sense to Barbara Thorson. While everyone else seems preoccupied with work or school, she only cares about one thing: killing giants. Every night she wraps herself up in an elaborate fantasy world — talking to fairies, constructing mythical weapons and working on powerful traps. Her lack of interest in the real world makes her an outcast at school, but it's something she gladly accepts. In fact, she's quick to snap at anyone who tries to influence her, making it hard for her teachers to deal with. At home things aren't much better. Her older sister, Karen, has to care for the family, and she has no idea how to handle Barbara's eccentric behavior. But it's Taylor, the school bully, who is angered the most by Barbara's attitude. Barbara refuses to back down to Taylor's threats, and that's not something Taylor takes lightly.
