This is a triumph for B-Movie Fans around the world. Night of the Comet is now on DVD. With a modest budget and a handful of great B-List actors, this film would go on to become the best zombie-comedy-action flick of all time. The second best, Shaun of the Dead, came out just a couple of years ago, but thank goodness it did.
If it hadn't, this movie would still only be availble of videocassette. Most exposed individuals were instantly turned to dust, but some, who were partially exposed, turned into blood-thirsty zombies.
Along the way, they meet a young truck driver named Hector Beltran who helps them fight off the the baddies. Despite it's premise, NOTC is a clever, fun, well-paced film. It's a movie that knows that it's goals are not lofty and comfortably takes us along for the ride. Also, aside from the supporting roles which are expectedly two dimensional, the movie is surprisingly well-acted.
Voyager are do an awesome job with this light material..
The special effects are an exercise in budget control, but director Thom Eberhardt does the best he has with what he's got. This film is scary, funny and more than worthy of a viewing, if not a being a permanent part of your dvd collection. After being hit by a car while apprehending a murderer in , Det. Sam Tyler Jason O'Mara regains consciousness to find himself working as a detective in the s. As he struggles to figure out if he is truly stuck in the past or stuck in a coma, he does what he does best - bring in the bad guys. I loved this show and I wish it had found the audience it was looking for, but it never did.
Harvey Keitel as Gene Hunt seems a bit heavy handed at first, but when you consider that he is channeling a 's police lieutenant, it starts to work very well. The music for this series deserves to be noticed as a character as well. Even though this ABC series was short-lived, they gave the producers enough time to give the show a proper ending. While the final result was only semi-satisfying, at least some closure was given to viewers.
Book Review - Industry Talk. Copyright , Written by Jennifer Brozeck.
I have been a fan and follower of Jennifer Brozek for some time now and when I discovered she was publishing Industry Talk: As an RPG writer with a handful of published adventures under my belt and a full length tabletop game on the way, I figured that indirectly picking Mrs. Jun 10, Steven rated it it was amazing Shelves: That's not really what I do.

Brozek has done elsewhere. First up is the part I was expecting: While I don't have a ton of experience working in that industry, I've got enough time doing freelance work to know that this is also a valuable reference for anyone doing any freelance writing work It's a very useful guide, and Ms. Brozek writes in a comfortable, casual style that helps pass along the attitude needed to make this all work.
The second part is advice on how to put together an anthology for a publisher. Remember, I'm not just an author, but also a small or micro publisher. Over the last years I've worked with five anthology projects from the publisher's point of view. And let me tell you: Industry Talk is so spot-on that I am making it required reading for anyone pitching anthologies to me. If you've ever thought about freelance writing or putting together an anthology and especially if you want to do either in the games industry , this book is well worth the price of admission.
Sep 30, Ableabelian rated it liked it. This is really a collection of essays that were published online for different topics.
