Stephen King
is making a foray into the world of comic books. Vertigo,an imprint of the American comic-book publisher DC Comics,is launching a new monthly comic book series from short story writer Scott Snyder. American Vampires first story arc,to unfold over the course of five issues,will feature a story line by horror novelist King. He will provide the origin story of the first American vampire: Skinner Sweet,an outlaw of the 1880s.
Tony Jaa,
Thailands biggest action hero,returns to inflict more damage in Ong Bak 2: The Beginning. Given its title,you might expect that this film has some sort of plot connection to the original Ong Bak of a few years back,but you would be wrong. The only thing that links these pictures is its star,who is such a big deal in the action world that the Hollywood Reporter called Ong Bak 2 arguably the most anticipated Thai movie ever.
Lars von Triers
new film,Antichrist,features in the credits therapeutic consultants for cast and crew. For,the story,of a couple broken by the death of innocence,is a tangled mess of sex,evil and death,with Von Trierquite the Marquis de Sade of filmmaking making a stab at allegory and old-fashioned horror. There is a seductive beauty to the film,but the artistry that made Von Trier so compelling as a filmmaker with a great deal to say is nowhere to be found here.
Wear this: Sequins
They can look like a sparkly 1970s disco ball spinning out of control or the remains of an 80s Jazzercise get-up. So why,with so many ways they can go wrong,are sequins so big this fall? Fortunately,the sequins were seeing this season arent over the top and tacky. This season,sequins are being worn as a daytime wardrobe staple rather than just to add glitz to an evening ensemble. Try casual items such as a T-shirt or cardigan with a light dusting of a neutral-coloured embellishment.
