“I Play the Girl” - Ten Questions for Keli Wolfe 
You walk out of a movie and, if the movie is good, you don’t want it to end. In the majority of cases you wait and hope for a sequel. In rare instances you continue the film on your own, as the guys over at ‘TheJokerBlogs’ did with their hit YouTube series that told the story of what happened to the title character after ‘The Dark Knight’ ended.
Daniella Brodsky is the author of six novels, a Pisces, a coffee lover and a transplanted New Yorker who describes her high-school self as “one who could get away with bizarre outfits cobbled together from the Everything’s $10 Store and [her] parents’ wardrobes under the guise of being funky.” In her most recent novel, Vivian Rising, she tells the story of Viv, a woman not wholly unlike herself, who grapples with the loss of her best friend and grandmother.
They glance at their phones to read their text messages, emails, and new postings on their facebook walls.
Our three-film bender the day before had left us all drained (and another late night of partying didn’t help) so we decided to tackle day three of the 22nd annual Vancouver Queer Film Festival with a bit of lighter schedule.
Drew Barrymore has been on the big screen for most of her life. She's gone from child star, to drug addicted teen, to adult actress/director. In many ways, she’s America's Sweetheart, giving audiences winning and heartfelt performances. Her latest, Going the Distance, will charm some and irritate others.
Twelve films and nearly twenty years later, I’ve come to accept the fact that Robert Rodriguez is simply not as good as he’s billed to be. He’s had some highlights to his career, true; Planet Terror was infinitely more entertaining than Death Proof, its Grindhouse companion, and From Dusk Till Dawn remains one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen.
The litmus test to determine whether or not Ultimate Avengers will be to your taste is your response to this question; how do you feel about a story where a supervillain throws a baby out the window of a ten-story building, just to show how evil he is? If you find that too sickening to think of, even in a fictional story, then you certainly won’t want to read this comic. But if you find that a darkly comic idea, you might get a kick out of Ultimate Avengers. Just don’t go in expecting much more than a perverse thrill.
George Clooney is one of the true movie stars left in Hollywood. He has the name recognition to open a film strong, regardless of the subject. In a world where special effects and planned tie-in are all a part of the matrix of moving making, he’s one of the few standouts, somehow above the fray of Tinsel Town. His latest, The American, is another push for Oscar gold.
Thanks to Alex and PopSyndicate, I achieved another ‘first’ in my (long) life: attending my first comic book convention, Wizard World Chicago Con to be exact. Driving up to the convention center, I actually felt a little nervous. I really didn’t know what to expect. And after stepping onto the convention floor for the first time… the best word that comes to mind is ‘overwhelmed.’ I ultimately had an incredible time, met some really great people, saw some old friends and logged in far too many miles on my poor choice of footwear (low top Chucks).
Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.
Batman has a problem. Gotham is being overrun by OMACs and even he's got to admit that's a little much for a guy dressed as a flying rat, even if he is Batman. So what's he gonna do? Luckily he's not even limited to calling in the Justice League, he has the Justice Society, the Teen Titans, the Outsiders, the Metal Men and so on and so on. He has a massive amount of options to help him deal with the problem thanks to a whole world of superheroes (and then some if you count the Green Lantern Corps). This is because Batman exists in a shared universe, where characters like Superman, The Flash, and Captain Marvel can interact with each other any time a writer or editor thinks it would be kind of cool.
