Superhero Shorts: Death of Spider-Man

Death of Spider-Man Motion Comic

Welcome to this week’s edition of Superhero Shorts where I take a look at a different superhero themed short film and get the creator of the film to answer a few interview questions. This week I’m talking with Andrew Bates and Drew Lawson who came up with their own motion comic for Ultimate Spider-Man #158-160 written by Brian Bendis where Peter Parker dies. It’s very high quality both in terms of the animation as well as the voice work, it’s on par if not better than the few professional motion comics I’ve seen before. It’s a bit longer than many of the shorts I feature here with a runtime of just over 20 minutes, but it’s worth the watch.

Superhero Shorts: Disassembled

Superhero Shorts: Disassembled

Welcome to this week’s edition of Superhero Shorts where I take a look at a different superhero themed short film and get the creator of the film to answer a few interview questions. This week I’m talking with Junaid Chundrigar and his animated short film Disassembled. While the Avengers movie was all about how the heroes assembled together to form their team, this is what happens on a bad day when they get disassembled. It’s very Robot Chicken-esque with a bunch of very quick mini-scenes. And it’s not just the Avengers that were featured in the movie, it also features several other famous Marvel characters, many of whom I believe were also Avengers at some point in time. As always, you can watch the short right below, or you can watch it at Junaid’s YouTube Channel

Superhero Shorts: Gremlins 3 Warm Up

Superhero Shorts: Gremlins 3 Warm Up

Welcome to this week’s edition of Superhero Shorts where I take a look at a different superhero themed short film and get the creator of the film to answer a few interview questions. This week I’m talking with Sacha Feiner who created an absolutely astounding fan version of a scene in Gremlins 2. In the movie, there’s a scene where the film breaks and it turns out that the Gremlins are messing with the projector in the theater. For the original VHS release, that scene was updated so that it looked like the VHS messed up and the Gremlins invaded a John Wayne movie. But for the DVD release, they just went back to the original version. Sacha decided that it needed a version that was made for the DVD release, so he made one. But it wasn’t just a simple thing, he actually created brand new Gremlins based on the original designs and had them cause a ruckus in other movies. But don’t take it from me, check it out right below.

Follow Friday: The Droid You’re Looking For

Follow Friday: The Droid You’re Looking For

Welcome to another edition of Follow Friday where each week I feature and interview a fellow blogger and follow their suggestion to another blog to feature next week. I prefer this over a blogroll because it gives each blog their own time to shine, plus I personally rarely click on blogrolls so why would I expect you to? Not only that, but I get the chance to check out some great blogs I might not have found otherwise found, talk to some great people, and share the conversation with you. This week I was directed by Steve over at Anti-Film School to check out The Droid You’re Looking For aka TDYLF which is a great site with a lot of humor along with the movie reviews.

This week I was directed by Shaft over at Cool Awesome Movies to check out Twisted Flicks which is a nice site, but the writer isn’t too active and didn’t get the chance to respond to my E-Mail, so once again it’s back to one of my personal recommendations for Anti-Film School

So this week I was directed by Paul over at Paragraph Film Reviews to check out Cool Awesome Movies that focus on some pretty cool, pretty awesome movies, if you tend to like your awesomely cheesy B-Movies. And they also celebrate one of the best things to come out of B-Movies, gratuitous nudity, so there’s an NSFW warning for you before you go check out the site.
