Harsh Language Not Required: A Little Chat with Aliens Legend Ricco Ross

What do movies such as Alien, Aliens, Predator and The Thing all have in common? Well, apart from being awesome, they all manage to bring together large groups of characters and effortlessly make viewers care about each and every one of them, despite varying amounts of screen time. It seems to be a skill that

Aliens the Lego Edition: My Q&A with its Architect ‘Missing Brick’

I’ve seen a LOT of custom Lego work over the years, online and at shows, but these Aliens movie scenes that were planned, built and photographed by Flickr resident ‘Missing Brick‘ are some of the best I have ever encountered, if not THE best!

I love the TV show and what they have managed to create but when I think of The Walking Dead I think of the comic book first and probably always will. I’ve followed it from the beginning and despite the occasional bump in the road it remains an unmissable and truly unique publication where anything

So Bad They Were Good?: The Insanity That Was Kenner Aliens

H.R. Giger: A Tribute

Legendary artist H.R. Giger has passed away at the age of 74. I first became aware of his work in my very early teens when a shopping trip with my family led me to start exploring the depths of a local book store. At the far end was a large display unit that held the
