Ninja Assassin – 2009 – English Movie Review
Mukund Creations - All In One Blog (Free subscription) | 26/11/2009
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a decent ninja flick. When the Golden Age of Ninja Cinema (also known as the Dudikoff Era) ebbed at the close of the ‘80s, the black-clad martial artists retreated to the shadows. This week, director James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) aims to resurrect them with Ninja Assassin, a hyperkinetic [...]

The 11th Hour - Burden of Grief (2009)
From the Dust Returned (Free subscription) | 03/11/2009
This 11th Hour has nothing to do with Leonardo DiCaprio or the environment, instead it is a doom metal collaboration between two very busy men. In one corner, you have the prolific Rogga Johansson, he of the many Swedish death metal revival bands ( Ribspreader, Demiurg, Revolting, Paganizer, Carve, and so forth). In the other, Ed Warby, of Gorefest, Demiurg, Hail of Bullets, and also many other projects....

Creative Costumes and Other Gory Things
The Geekwif (Free subscription) | 31/10/2009
Warning: Fake, not particularly realistic gore ahead. I'm not a huge Halloween person. I don't dislike it, I just don't generally get into it.

And by that I mean the two little kids in the...

Sinister - Diabolical Summoning (1992)
From the Dust Returned (Free subscription) | 26/10/2009
21 years have passed since the formation of Sinister , one of Holland's most persistent death metal acts. Though most of their albums are good, the band have never sadly achieved the level of recognition that many of their peers rose to. It's a shame, because the first few albums are better than the overrated early 90s output of a Deicide , Hypocrisy or Cannibal Corpse . I can't claim that any of the...
