[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/hannibal.mp3] After two truly excellent films and a somewhat passable prequel, we come to the fourth and final installment in our look at Hannibal Lecter. Like the other movies based on the novels of Thomas Harris, we’re presented with a charismatic and compelling villainous protagonist, shown dark recesses of the human condition and are at… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX!

It looked for all the world that he was destined to return to his quiet incarceration, sketching and reading while infurating his smarmy overseeing psychiatrist, Dr.… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Silence of the Lambs
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Red Dragon
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/red_dragon.mp3] When we last left our dear Doctor Hannibal Lecter, he was completing his tenure at a Parisian medical school while enacting bloody vengeance upon the Nazi war criminals that devoured his sister and his innocence. While he did have run-ins with the law, he did not truly meet an equal or memorable rival the… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Red Dragon
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Hannibal Rising
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/hannibal_rising.mp3] October has arrived. It’s a month that brings a change of seasons, a decrease in termperatures, post-season baseball and a plethora of colors. Oh, and I think there’s some holiday at the end of it. In honor of a time where folks fly their freak flags, culminating in a celebration of sugary or other… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Hannibal Rising
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Centurion
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/centurion.mp3] The movie version of 300 has definitely made an impression. It’s given us a ton of Internet memes, helped shape all sorts of workout regimens and pushed Gerard Butler towards being the stereotypical big scowly action star. But it also had the subtle benefit of introducing the world to Michael Fassbender. In between his… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Centurion
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/buckaroo_banzai.mp3] We call them Renaissance men, polymaths or omnidisciplinarians. The last two are more friendly for people of all genders who dabble with success in multiple fields of interest, but one of the first was Leonard da Vinci. Benjamin Franklin is another, but neither he nor da Vinci ever developed supersonic cars, practiced neurosurgery or… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Expendables
[audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/expendables.mp3] With the unfortunate shutdown of Non-Social Media, I’m under no further obligation to do video versions of this feature. This may be a blessing in disguise, as I’m unsure how much free time I’ll have on my hands in the future, not to mention the fact that I’m not feeling very well. On a… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! The Expendables
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Original Text: [spoiler] Joseph Campbell is famous for basically saying that all storytellers are essentially telling the same story. Be it a myth based on the perceptions of the ancient Norse of their weather patterns or the all-caps melodrama and bright, splashy colors of a comic book by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, our stories… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Ringu
Original Text: [spoiler] This is Darth Vader. Right-hand man of the evil Emperor Palpatine, Lord of the Sith, and lately the poster child for the outcry of “They changed it, now it sucks.” While in that case we’re talking about a man somewhat bloated by his own ego ham-handedly forcing things into what were perfectly… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Ringu
IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Robin Hood
A little something different this week… thanks to Jonny at Non-Social Media. Original Text: [spoiler] You wouldn’t think, at first glance, that the actors Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner, Cary Elwes and Russell Crowe have all that much in common other than their profession. We are, after all, talking about actors from different genres and even… Continue reading IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Robin Hood
