Overlord - This movie starts with a bang, with a gunfight
by air, that sets the stage for the duration of the film. American paratroopers
invade a Nazi fortified church in an attempt to destroy a radio transmitter. Once
inside, they happen upon an secret laboratory and engage in a brutal battle
against the undead. With a concept and production by JJ Abrams, it was written
by screenwriter Billy Ray, and directed by Julius Avery. The film was purported
to be 4th in the Cloverfield series, which Abrams denied. The film
stars Jovan Adepo and Wyatt Russell and features the track ‘Bridging The Gap’
by Nas.

THE WRITE PLATFORM - National Novel Writing Month - Medium
THE WRITE PLATFORM - National Novel Writing Month - Medium
THE WRITE PLATFORM - With the diminishing influence of the Big 5, up against almighty Amazon, authors need platforms. Why is that, you might ask? I'm a writer. Do I really need to bother with publicity? Yes. Do both, write material and engage in marketing.

RAY HARRYHAUSEN’S JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
Ray
Harryhausen’s Jason and the Argonauts - Directed
by Don Chaffey, produced by Charles H. Schneer, based on a myth by Apollonios
Rhodios, a 3rd century Greek author. With music by Oscar winning Bernard
Herrmann, Jason and the Argonauts is a cultural compass. This independent film
was made with material by stop
motion animation master Ray Harryhausen. The skeleton fight scene and battle are
pure fantasy. He made many other mythical creatures famous, along with himself.
Such as, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, The Three Worlds of Gulliver, and Mysterious
Island. The film score was composed by Hermann, who also worked with Harryhausen on the fantasy films.

FRAGMENTATION OF THE DEAD
FraGMENTATION of the
Dead - With confirmation Andrew Lincoln will depart in season 9, will
The Walking Dead be forced into cancellation without Rick or Carl? Although,
let’s be honest, Chandler could have never lived up to the part. Shh. Anyway, I’ve
been watching this news, and other rumors. Here are the highlights of what’s
going on right now. Producers confirm season nine will jump ahead 18 months
following last season's battle between Rick and Negan. Rick, Maggie and Daryl
upend an alliance and havoc breaks loose. Seems to me showrunners recklessly
killed off Shane and Carl, and now Daryl is the only one left, besides Carol.
Norman Reedus got $20 million to lead the show here on out. There are rumors Daryl will lead the show
into a spinoff unrelated to the TWD. Nobody could’ve predicted the extent of
this hit to bring strong interest for zombies of the apocalypse.

IN THE REIGN OF HARAD IV SHORT STORY REVIEW
IN THE REIGN OF HARAD IV
SHORT STORY REVIEW - A miniature maker--honored with a fur coat to
attend court—creates doll house furniture with incredible detail. He loses
himself in his own ambitions, ever creating things that are smaller and
smaller, that his apprentices check on him one day. He has made a doll house so
small, that it is invisible, even under powerful magnification. In The Reign of
Harad IV by Steven Millhauser the author explores themes common to his other
works, small moments, replicating reality, small models and exploration of the
literary fantastic. This Pulitzer prizewinning writer has authored Dangerous
Laughter, A Precursor of the Cinema and The Other Town.
