The January 2012 issue of Juxtapoz has an interview with the incredibly talented Audrey Kawasaki. Along with it, there are some pictures of her beautiful art. You should run out and buy this issue immediately before it disappears, like it did at my local B&N, or February 2012 comes in to take its place.
There is a reason she was my first choice for #ArtistWednesday!
Stranger is a bounty hunter in the Mongo River Valley on Oddworld, a planet seven times bigger than Earth. He captures outlaws to earn moolah for a life-saving operation; along the way, he solves a mystery, defeats an army, and saves a race of people.
Not bad for a man with no name.
Hugo Cabret is a young orphan boy living in the walls of a Paris train station. Left there by his alcoholic uncle to fend for himself, Hugo takes care of the clocks and harbors a secret, something left behind by his deceased father, one that will lead him to adventure.
Hello! This weekend is another weekend off as the only movie opening is the new Twilight film.
Since they are not really my cup of tea, I am going to post at least one movie review over on The Examiner.
If you are looking for a movie, might I suggest Immortals?
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

This week before Immortals, there were extended trailers for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Grey and The Avengers. Just when I was beginning to think of online trailers to write about instead, two emerged from the digitally brightened screen, Act of Valor and The Raven, and demanded my attention.
Before man walked the earth, there were the Immortals. A war erupted between two rival factions and, when it was over, the Gods imprisoned the Titans beneath Mount Tartarus for their crimes.
Now a bitter and powerful King Hyperion scours the land searching for a lost weapon of that war, the Epirus bow. With it, he will free the Titans as revenge on the uncaring Gods who he feels let his family die.
Sworn to never interfere in the affairs of men, Zeus must have faith in a simple peasant, Theseus, to do what is right, protect the weak and defeat King Hyperion before he unleashes a hell that will mean the end of humanity.
I am taking this weekend off since there isn't anything out in the theaters I want to watch. On 11-11-2011 Immortals is released so i'll be back with a quick review of it as well as a brand new 2 trailers!
an·i·me: [an-uh-mey] noun
"a Japanese style of motion picture animation,characterized by
highly stylized, colorful art, futuristic settings, violence, and sexuality
however, stories do encompass everything from romance, SciFi, horror,
children’s stories, martial arts, sports, to animal stories"
Nothing exists in a vacuum. Behind everything that we love and inspires us are artists, producers, writers, actors and directors with their own sources of inspiration. Because of its unique storytelling styles, anime is one of largest influences in the world.
This week before In Time there did not seem to be many trailers and only one I had not written about yet that was of interest, so, it is to the internet I go for number two!
For your consideration, here are Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Immortals.
In the future, everyone is engineered to stop aging at 25 and to die a year later. The world now runs on time and the wealthy can live forever while the poor literally live day to day.
Working class Will Salas is given a gift of a hundred years by a centenarian who has lost the will to go on but is enamored by Will’s drive to survive and optimistic outlook.
He gives Will only one request; do not waste the time given.
