Starburst Magazine Issue 403: Turtles, Transformers and another short story!
In the latest issue of Starburst Magazine, there are three of my pieces of writing in it.
Firstly, there is the preview of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then there is my review of Transformers: Age of Extinction (which you can also find on the website here) and finally there is a horrible little short story that I wrote called The Nurse and the Butcher.
I hope you will consider picking up a copy either online or in your local newsagent!

Transformers 4 teaser trailer is long but promising
Aren't teaser trailers supposed to be short, mysterious, and well... teaser-y? The Transformers: Age of Extinction teaser clocks in at a whopping 2 minutes and 33 seconds, begging the question: how the hell long is the theatrical trailer going to be? Will it be 6 minutes of Baysplosions, Nicola Peltz being ridiculously good looking and Wahlberg doing an admirable job of adding some gravity to proceedings?
I went into this trailer expecting the worst. The Superbowl snippet left me completely underwhelmed. The inclusion of the Dinobots doesn't excite me and the focus on the effects and big action scenes just didn't make my jaw drop the way it did the first time I saw Bay's Transformers. After the two robotic and head pounding sequels, I was ready to give Age of Extinction a miss. I always liked the comedy that Shia brought to it too so the thought of Mark Wahlberg getting all serious with the franchise wasn't too appealing.
But this teaser actually brought me back from the brink. It might not strictly be much of a tease, looking like it reveals a hell of a lot more than it should but at least there is some sense of the characters and the new story that will bring the Transformers back to life. There are also hints that it will not ignore the events of past Transformers movies which is kind of cool. Though Nicola Peltz looks like a very typical Michael Bay hand picked 'hot girl' in need of rescue, Wahlberg and his mechanic character and father looks like he might be interesting enough to keep us all engaged beyond the promise of explosions and giant robots beating the shit out of each other.
Teaser Trailer
Superbowl spot
There's also three new posters that declare that 'the rules have changed'. I don't know what rules they are on about but at least we get a good look at the three main characters.

2014 Movie and TV Preview
The latest issue of Starburst Magazine has recently hit shelves and you can order it directly from Starburst here.This month is mostly about a preview of horror, fantasy and science fiction films that are on their way in 2014. I contributed short pieces on lots of the films you can expect to see next year. It might not be quite as exciting as the ridiculously stuffed 2015 slate but 2014 still has many surprises in store and plenty of reasons to get excited. Here are the ones I wrote about for Starburst. Check out the magazine for full details and more:
[REC] 4: Apocalypse which you can expect to reanimate the seriously scary franchise.
Seventh Son: Will it become a huge (13 books!) franchise or falter at the first hurdle?
Maggie: Arnie plays a father who must over see his daughter's slow transformation into a zombie
Hot Tub Time Machine 2: John Cusack jumps out of the tub for the sequel with Adam Scott instead dipping a toe in
Pompeii: A disaster movie of Titanic proportions with Game of Thrones' Kit Harrington and his ridiculous abs.
Transformers:: Age of Extinction Mark Wahlberg and others have signed up for a three picture deal suggesting Age of Extinction is definitely not going to be the end of this franchise.
Divergent: Just in case The Hunger Games isn't enough dystopian future teen rebellion for you, why not try Divergent?
Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1: Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2 will be released a year apart with the first hitting in 2014.
These are only the tip (or bottom) of the iceberg so pick up a copy of Starburst today for more on what will be filling screens in 2014. Other potential highlights include:
Robocop, Noah, Game of Thrones Season 4, Godzilla, Edge of Tomorrow, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Maze Runner, The Walking Dead Season 5, Interstellar, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, The Green Inferno, Tusk and Wolf Creek 2.
