...more poppy Frenchmen, Octet, steal the show by recasting bubblegum gem “Girl” as a melodramatic aria, sung at the climax of a new-age murder opera. They cut out all the lead vocals of the chorus, thus negating the longstanding debate over whether our hero is saying “sun-eyed” or “cyanide.” This leaves only the eerily manufactured choir of “aah-aah-aahs.” Then the whole thing descends into breakcore entropy while the lady gets slaughtered.Underground robot heroes...
Okay, so maybe I’m overstating things. Some dudes named “Motion Theory” directed this clip, and most likely they just watched that classic “Rowdy” Roddy Piper flick, “They Live.” Our hero wanders around the City of Angels, while the background keeps folding in on itself to reveal scary messages, a la MAD magazine’s infamous fold-in back pages.

Which gives Driscoll a motivation to become an action hero after Darrow is kidnapped by the crreeeppy “28 Days Later”-esque natives of Skull Island as a sacrifice for their God, Kong, who is computer generated version of computer captured movements of Andy Serkis—the same process used to make Serkis into Gollum in “Lord of the Rings.” After many action...

He is a major supporting character in erstwhile vampirologist Anne Rice's current best seller, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. And he has a lead role...
...moment the believer imagines himself or herself into the biblical story, Joseph explodes back onto the scene. Scripture plain may not spend a sentence describing the Egyptian sojourn, but anyone reconstructing a narrative of the Bible will recognize it as an episode and Joseph as its hero. The same holds true for those extensive yet ill-chronicled Nazareth years...
