As I ended my review of this Devil’s Due series’ first issue (see it here), I was optimistic and hopeful that writer Stefan Hutchinson could progress the comic miniseries’ story and quality.

RESIDENT EVIL: DEGENERATION, the first full-length feature in the franchise to be created via CG, is also the first one to stay true to its video-game roots. Unlike the three live-action movies that came before it, DEGENERATION (hitting DVD, Blu-ray and UMD December 30 from Sony Pictures) moves the game’s plot forward and takes place after the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City and the fall of the Umbrella Corporation.

Genre fave Tony Todd told FANGORIA RADIO last week that the team behind FINAL DESTINATION 4, due in theaters August 21 from Warners/New Line, has yet to hire him to reprise the role of mortician Bludworth (pictured) that he played in the initial trilogy. “They sent me the script a while ago,” Todd said of the David (FINAL DESTINATION 2) Ellis-directed 3-D sequel, which opens with a spectacular racetrack disaster. “But they have yet to bring me in.”

A funky hat is truly the ultimate accessory, no matter what your style. It can add that extra flair to any look. Now, if you are the type of fashion savvy femme who shuns the mainstream and loves the eccentric, Noxenlux Chapeaux hats are undeniably for you. A mish-mosh of Victorian, steampunk, goth, pin-up and burlesque, these creations are little pieces of magnificent handcrafted artwork. Far from your typical baseball cap or Kangol, Noxenlux hats function to make a statement.

Robert Rodriguez was one of the first filmmakers to stand up and show mainstream Hollywood that they could in fact churn out elaborately rendered, hyperviolent pulp fantasy cinema on a dime using greenscreens and video technology and actually make it work. His graphic-novel adaptation SIN CITY still stands as a testament to this CGI inventiveness, a technique that was taken to another level in Zack Snyder's considerably pricier, but no less ingenious, gladiator gorefest 300.
