In the very early days of prestige television, a series appeared (some say it began the prestige era) that gave us a glimpse of what the future would hold. That series was "Rome," the story of the rise and fall of Julius Caesar (Ciarán Hinds) and the romance and death of Mark Antony (James Purefoy) and Cleopatra (Lyndsey Marshal). The series was gorgeous and full of rich historical detail, and the performances were spectacular. 

The series, which ran from 2005-2007, came to us from John Milius, William J. MacDonald, and Bruno Heller. It nabbed talented actors like Hinds, Purefoy, Marshal, Lindsay Duncan, Polly Walker, Tobias Menzies, Kevin McKidd, and the late Ray Stevenson. It won a Director's Guild award, seven Primetime Emmy Awards, and quite a number of others. 

The sets were stunning and actually existed in the world, in the historic Cinecittà Studios, right in Rome, from the Forum...

Actor Brad Johnson, best known for “Melrose Place” and Steven Spielberg’s “Always,” has passed away. He was 62. He is survived by his wife and their eight children.

Johnson died Feb. 18 of complications from Covid-19 in Fort Worth, Texas, his representative, Linda McAlister, confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Brad was a true renaissance man. He was not only interested in all life had to offer, but was gifted in it as well,” an obituary for the actor read.

Johnson’s professional career began on the rodeo circuit in 1984, which is where he was first noticed by a movie scout. The Hollywood hopeful would work as a Marlboro Man in commercials and appear in multiple Calvin Klein ads before finding breakout on-screen success.

His first big break came in Spielberg’s 1989 drama “Always,” which also starred Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter.

Amanda Conner with Paul Mounts (Aftershock Comics)

In case you haven’t picked up any issues of SuperZero yet, I would like to take this moment to warn you that this review is full of spoilers from not only this issue but the past books at well. I highly recommend to go back and read the other five issues.

Through the first four issues of this series I have been back and forth on my opinion on whether Dru was delusional or if in fact she had a sixth sense about an impending attack on earth. The fact that her experiences had been grounded in reality (besides her dreams) really kept me hooked. I was rooting for her to get super powers but at the same time wanted her to get a grip on “reality” and that super powers only exist in fictional worlds. Lucky for Dru she exists in...

A few weeks ago Rough Riders had a solid start with an introduction to the leader of the team Teddy Roosevelt, and the first member Jack Johnson. This issue as expected we meet the rest of the team and set up for the mission at hand. First Teddy and Jack head to Coney Island to recruit the not yet legendary Harry Houdini. Unlike Jack, Teddy doesn’t as Harry if he wants to be on the team. Instead he knocks him out, chains him up and throws him into the ocean. But to their surprise, not only does he escape but he appears behind the and he takes Teddy’s gun and wallet. Classic Houdini at his best! Next on the list is Thomas Edison who doesn’t take much convincing, but it seems like he had been working on a bit more than light bulbs. The four men now...

The summer of 4001 A.D. is finally upon us! If I am going to be completely honest, I wasn’t as excited for this as I was for other events that they had done in the past. This is because I know very little about the book’s main character Rai. I recently got a crash course about him at Wondercon thanks to a great conversation I had with Dinesh Shamdasani at their booth and later at their panel. What also helped me was the Free Comic Book Day Special issue entitled “Valiant 2016” which includes a prologue to 4001 A.D. giving you a crash course as to what is New Japan, who Rai is and what is his current status. Lucky for me I had a very long week so I actually got to read the special first (which is why this review is so late, sorry life happens). In...

First of all let’s just get this out of the way, I am a sucker for books and movies that feature prominent moments and figures from American History no matter how ridiculous the concept seemed. For example in films movies like Wild Wild West and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Also in books titles like American Legends (Top Cow Productions Inc. & Image Comics) and All Star Western (DC Comics) and well you get the trend. Now Adam Glass through Aftershock Comics has released a very interesting book called “Rough Riders”. Which features a team of soon to be legends such as Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, Harry Houdini as well as others. They are set to travel to Cuba and defeat a threat using alien technology to destroy American vessels. The cover alone sold me the book as it features the team of Rough Riders in an antique style color palette...

The other day I was talking with editor Mike Gold about the political state of our country – Mike and I have marathon conversations about politics – and I asked him if he had seen and/or heard the nomination of Judge Merrick Garland of the D.C. Circuit Court by President Obama for a seat on the Supreme Court. “He’s into comics,” I said. Or was.

So how do I know about the comics connection? Just in case you missed the nomination or haven’t read it somewhere, here is the relevant part – at least for readers of comics and ComicMix – of the transcript of President Obama’s introduction of Judge Garland to us, the general public:

“He was born and raised in the Land of Lincoln, in my home town of Chicago, my home state of Illinois. His other volunteered in the community. His father ran a small business out of their home.

What does it mean to be Canadian? Aside from the geographically obvious, the question doesn’t evoke an immediate and clear answer that can be articulated. It’s like when Morpheus asks Neo “What is real?” in The Matrix. This question also apparently haunted sitcom writer Rob Cohen, as he embarked on a coast-to-coast quest to define his home country.

The film begins by exploiting one of the stereotypical character traits of the Canadians: being funny. Being Canadian is only a semi-serious sociological investigation into decoding the mystique of Canada, and since director Cohen’s day job is as a sitcom writer, producer and director, that should hardily be surprising. For talking head segments, he gathers a myriad of Canadian-born comedians universally recognized as some of the funniest people in the business. It’s a who’s who of who’s funny from Canada including Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Seth Rogen,...

In order to help introduce and reintroduce audiences to the cast of characters in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, 20th Century Fox has revealed a set of brand new posters in promotion of the film. Unfortunately, while the images are rather cute, they.re paired with some facepalm-worthy taglines. The poster above, featuring the dearly departed Robin Williams reprising his role as Theodore Roosevelt, is one of the better ones in the set, given that it.s actually a historical reference (a nod to the former president.s time fighting with the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War). But what exactly is the other half of this joke? Is it just because he.s shown here riding on a lion at dusk, or did Teddy have some kind of connection with the series Knight Rider that I don.t know about? Sadly, it only gets worse from...

“It’s Shakespeare,” historian George Will says in the opening minutes of The Roosevelts: An Intimate History, “to have a single family in which human flaws and virtues are on such vivid display—and the constant struggle between those vices and those virtues to try to do good and fulfill one’s duty.”

In his new PBS series, Ken Burns doesn’t need to embellish history to evoke Shakespeare—only poetically document it. The Roosevelts, then, is not just a fascinating account of one of the most sociopolitically influential families in U.S. history—but a testament to the truth...

This Monday on Major Crimes (TNT, 9/8c), the always composed Sharon Raydor feels a big chill when her Mia husband suddenly resurfaces — both in their home, and then at her work, where he’s serving as a public defender. Film vet and Emmy winner Tom Berenger spoke with TVLine about his imminent arc as Jackson Raydor, including the familiar faces on the cast who made him feel most at home.

The Movie Pool sits in on a Q&A with the staff of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. as they discuss the John Carter movie.

Victor Medina of TheMoviePool.com recently sat in on a Q&A with James J Sullos Jr. and Cathy Wilbanks, the President and Archvist (respectively) of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. Erb Inc. owns the rights to and preserves the legacy of the author's work, including John Carter, Tarzan, and The Land That Time Forgot. In this transcript of the Q&A, the two discuss Burrough's work and the recent John Carter movie. Questions by Victor Medina are noted.

Q - Is there anything in Princess Of Mars that you regret not being present in John Carter (the movie)?

A - Jim Sullos: On the contrary, the movie included a fairly faithful depiction of the storyline from the first book "A Princess of Mars" and actually...

For Phil Nichols, his fascination with the horror genre began at a very young age. The writer/director/producer/actor/special effects guru (how's that for being multi-hyphenate?) spoke about how being born into a family with an appreciation for the spookier things in life sparked his many interests in working within the genre.

"My love for horror started when I was three years old in 1967 when I started watching 'Dark Shadows' every day because my mom was addicted to it," Nichols explained. "My whole family was really different, almost like we were The Addams Family or something. We'd carve pumpkins whenever we wanted, and we'd go trick-or-treating in July if we felt like it. So I've always been around people who like to be scared and have an appreciation for scaring others."

"Dark Shadows" was a gateway drug of sorts for Nichols. As he became increasingly fascinated with creatures and monsters,...

From Mark Twain publishing Grant's memoirs to Nixon's unapologetic account, it's always controversial when a former president picks up a pen. But as Josh Robinson writes, few have stood the test of time.

Sitting at the Tehran Conference in 1943, as the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union shored up their alliance, Winston Churchill already had plans to set down his wartime memoirs, once the whole grisly business was done. So it was with great confidence that he turned to Josef Stalin and Franklin Roosevelt with a promise. "History will judge us kindly," he said in his growling baritone, "because I shall write the history."

Now this will be interesting to see! Actor Mickey Rourke revealed to the Orlando Sentinel recently (via The Wrap) that he will be playing Genghis Khan in a new biopic movie being directed by John Milius. "I’m playing Genghis," Rourke said. "John wrote [the] piece [as] told from the son and grandson’s point of view, how they saw this mythic figure from their family. You see him in flashbacks, back when he was in his mid-40s." Interesting concept and bold to cast Rourke in the role. I'll say that he has the potential to knock it out of the park with this one, although Milius hasn't directed anything since Rough Riders on TV in 1997. Milius is mainly a screenwriter, known for his scripts for Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Apocalypse Now, Conan the Barbarian, and Red Dawn. He also directed Dillinger, Conan, Red Dawn, Farewell to the King, and Flight...
