Upcoming Articles

Hey all!

It's been a while since the last article. Unfortunately I won't be able to get anything up for a few more days, but I figured I should get an update up here.

Anyways, here's a preview of upcoming articles.


UNTITLED TWILIGHT REACTION

There are a lot of people criticizing the Twilight series for it's re-interpretation of the vampire mythos. In this article, I look at vampires through the ages and the legacy, for good or ill, the series is having on vampires in media and culture.


AVATAR AND THE EVOLUTION OF SPECTACLE

Avatar is set to become the highest grossing film of all time, but what's really going in beyond the hype and the counter-culture criticism.


TAC REVIEW: THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG

By the end of 2004, Disney had closed down it's traditional animation house entirely. Save for the actions of a few individuals, this may have been the end of a great history. Here I honor the rescued Disney tradition of 2d animation.


IN SEARCH OF THE INTERACTIVE REMBRANDT

Hidden in the corners of video game controversy is the debate over video games' legitimacy as an art form. In the last few years, it seems like everyone from Roger Ebert to Clive Barker have weighed in with their opinions. Join me as I journey into the nature of art itself to try and find a definitive answer.


ALIEN RETROSPECTIVE

From Riddley to Anderson, a look into the directors who defined the Xenomorph.


That's it from me for now. I'm off to bed to prepare for tomorrow's filming.
