Trailer Tracker: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, War Horse and more

Our featured clip this
week, though quirkily named, will offer all that international intrigue fans of
spy thrillers crave with the adaptation of Tinker,
Tailor, Soldier, Spy led by Gary Oldman. Back in the saddle, so to speak,
Steven Spielberg returns to directing with War
Horse which should be good for absolutely everything. Rounding out the top
four freshest clips this week is the action-packed warring assassin flick Killer Elite with Jason Statham and
Clive Owen, and finally from director Renny Harlin comes 5 Days of War, an explosive but true-to-facts account about the
brief clash between Russia
and Georgia.
All we have here is five days worth of fun packed into one feature – it’s
Trailer Tracker.

True Blood – You Smell Like Dinner

After last week’s season opener introduced us to a wealth of new information as far as Bon Temps and the canon of True Blood goes, this week’s “You Smell Like Dinner”, followed suit. Continuing to fill in the gaps of Sookie’s missing year as well as fleshing out the present day story line to a thoroughly interesting point, Sunday’s True Blood just about perfectly set up the remainder of the season, leaving several avenues for it to follow (Or not, if it follows the books). The episode essentially revolved around two main themes: Sookie (as always) and the vampires. Sookie’s plot points largely center around the vampires as well, so at its core, it was a fang-packed week. Following on from last week’s unfinished plot threads, Jason remained a captive of were-panther Crystal’s family, and Eric had laid a claim to Sookie. 

Jason’s story wasn’t touched upon nearly as much as I’d have liked, especially given how the episode opened, but in essence – Crystal is once again hooked on V thanks to her abusive boyfriend and they’re failing to have a child. Needing to carry on the were-panther bloodline, their plan is to turn Jason into one of them and then he and Crystal can be together in every sense of the word. By the culmination of the episode, Jason appears to have been turned, and as a result, one would imagine that another bizarre sex scene involving Jason Stackhouse is soon to appear on screen.

IDW – All The News You Need 6/29 Edition

You know what’s annoying? Not getting all the news for one publisher in one place outside of huge press releases on that publishers site. What I’ve done here for you, and really this is for your benefit, is take all of that information and condense it down onto one post that contains everything that IDW has going on right now. Fun right? Let’s begin.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon Review

Michael Bay has expanded his final Transformers movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, to
2.5 hours. Those extra minutes include the introduction of a half dozen
new human characters, twice as many unnamed Decepticons, and meandering
human drama and backstory. Although it drops many of the issues of the
previous sequel, it picks up quite a few issues of its own. So the final
result is mediocre. “Dark of the Moon” never rises to the level of
greatness you keep hoping for. It’s just good.

Magdalena #7 – Review

A new Magdalena is out this week and this time is not only a new issue. Magdalena, issue seven, is the start of a new story arc by the creative team of Ron Marz and Keu Cha. It is really a great jumping on point for new readers. Although the story is continuity-driven, you don’t need to pick up the last few issues to know what the gist of the story is.

More Than a Few Words with ‘True Blood: Tainted Love’ Writer Michael McMillian

As both the evangelical
anti-vampire rights activist Rev. Steve Newlin on HBO’s True
Blood and the writer of its
companion comic Tainted Love, Michael
McMillian is a huge player in the incredibly popular series. Known also for his
own title LUCID, McMillian is no
stranger to the world of comics. I recently got the chance to ask the writer a
few questions, and his answers don’t suck
– eh? Right? Sigh…
