In the five seasons that “Mad Men” has been on television that celebrated series set in the art-directed world of 1960s advertising has never marketed itself the way a ’60s ad man most certainly would have: by calling in a hotshot illustrator to do the job…Which explains how a 75-year-old illustrator living outside of Cambridge, England — highly regarded in his own country but little known in the United States — came to create the image that beginning this week will be emblazoned on buses, billboards, magazine pages, Web sites and TV.

Kratos returns…
Kratos returns in Sony’s Prequel to the God of War series: “God of War-Ascension”.
In this iteration “Six months have passed since Kratos stood over the bodies of his wife and child, his hands stained with their blood – tricked by Ares into murdering the only people he ever loved. Swearing to avenge them, Kratos broke the blood oath that bound him to Ares, but oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken… Sentenced to an eternity chained within a prison for the living damned, Kratos battles insanity at the hands of the Furies. He will be tested as he seeks freedom, redemption for his sins, and the clarity to avenge his family.”
In anticipation of the March 12 release date, Sony has posted out a demo on the PlayStation Network. aptly titled “Prison of the Damned”. Weighing in at a hefty 3.7 GB, the demo also comes with several behind the scenes videos, including the “From Ashes” Superbowl commercial, the Online Multiplayer preview, and a quick intro from the creative director behind the game.
The visuals and gameplay are fantastic. The folks at Santa Montica pushed the PlayStation to its limits, yet again.
I am definitely looking forward to the March 12th release.
Cue the drums and chanting!!
The Evil Dead Movies Part 2: Evil Dead II, Dead by Dawn!
Over the last few years Hollywood has become remake crazy, and it seems as if one of the more popular types of movies to be remade are horror films. One of the movies that’s in the process of being remade for good or ill is The Evil Dead.
What would become a trilogy of movies began with The Evil Dead in 1981, continued with Evil Dead II in 1987 and was completed with Army of Darkness in 1993. While The Evil Dead was mostly a straight horror movie Evil Dead II was a crazy mix of comedy and horror. But it’s horror by way of slapstick The Three Stooges.
