Movie Review: Guns Akimbo (2019)

Miles (Daniel Radcliffe), is a real nerds nerd… a trolling mother fucker of a game designer, who loves nothing more than pissing off the fanatics of “Skizm”, a deathmatch club streamed live online. As one would guess, Miles luck in the ball bustin’ game only lasts so long, and he pisses off the wrong motherfucker and winds up with guns surgically added to his hands in a manner most crude, which makes him a perfect candidate to participate in Skizm whether he wants to or not. Sounds like a total shit show… but it’s going to get a ‘titch worse as our hero soon finds himself in a life and death struggle with Skizm’s best, the violence crazed maniac Nix (Samara Weaving). Akinbo ensues… and carnage. Mostly the latter. the first thing you may notice about Guns akimbo is that the film’s writer/director Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm) has infused the comic book style proceedings with enough panache and flair to

Daniel Radcliffe Wakes Up With Pistols Bolted To His Hands In New ‘Guns Akimbo’ Trailer

The insane trailer is here for the must-see dark, comedic, sci-fi thriller Guns Akimbo starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter franchise) and Samara Weaving (Ready or Not). Writer-director Jason Lei Howden (Deathgasm)’s flick made its World Premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and is now headed to theaters, Digital and On Demand this February. Miles’ (Daniel Radcliffe) nerdy existence as a video game developer takes a dramatic turn when he inadvertently gets caught up as the next contestant with SKIZM, an underground gang live-streaming real-life deathmatches. While Miles excels at running away from everything, that won’t help him outlast Nix (Samara Weaving), a killer at the top of her game. Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Ned Dennehy, and Rhys Darby also star in this action-packed thrill ride produced by Joe Neurauter, Felipe Marino, and Tom Hern. Guns Akimbo blasts its way into theaters and slashes its way on to Digital and Demand on February 28th, from Saban Films.

Blu-ray Review: Neighbors (1981)

At the end of a cul de sac sits two homes; one a picture of middle class normalcy the other a dilapidated, empty Victorian affair that Gomez Addams would dig. Well, that diabolical dwelling doesn’t stay empty for long as Vic and Ramona (Dan Aykroyd and Cathy Moriarty respectively) move in and immediately begin intruding on the lives of their neighbors the hen-pecked, milquetoast Earl and put-upon Enid Keese (John Belushi and Kathryn Walker)…with Ramona turning on the seduction and Vic fleecing Earl. Of course shit gets waaaay out of hand (and right quick too)…and soon blackmail, questionable Italian dinners, Nazi connotations, and outrageous rivalries are the order of the day…and that’s not even to mention the swamp full of chemical waste and quicksand, or the ultra-strange (and close) electrical tower that seems to electrocute animals as it sees fit. Neighbors is one hell of an underrated surreal gem…seriously, why this flick mentioned in the same breath as The Burbs

‘My Name Is Death’, The Perfect Dark Humor Webtoon

Again on Line Webtoon, I’ve discovered a little gem, a comic by Spanish artist Rumbo (Josué Rumbo) titled My name is Death. The comic follows the grim reaper himself and the shenanigans that arise as he works. Death himself looks a bit different from what we think of him, he’s a little guy with a wicked sense of humor that resembles Deadpool (who makes an appearance in one of the comics.) The comics are a perfect mix of silliness, pop culture references, and at times social commentary. When the series first started the drawings looked different but as the series progresses the drawings become cleaner (thanks to donations from readers) Overall, My name is Death is a funny little comic strip that updates weekly if you like dark humor, sarcasm, and even a little cuteness; this comic is for you! You can read it HERE, you can also check out My name is Death on Facebook and Twitter and you
