Coming Attraction: Tron Legacy

Action Flick Chick ~ March 11, 2010


Odds are that if you’re around my age, you’re not too familiar with Tron, or its upcoming sequel, Tron Legacy. Well, I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t especially interested in the new film. Until now. Watch the trailer and enjoy!

Tron Legacy comes out Dec. 17, and yeah, it looks absolutely awesome.
It’s missing something [...]

See the full-sized comic at http://rocketllama.com/actionchick/comic/action-chick-vs-3d/.

You can hear Peter Pixie and El Secreto interview my co-creator and Action Chick artist Nick Langley on Hour 42. Nick comes in half an hour into this past Sunday evening’s show, but it’s all worthwhile, especially if you’re a fan of comic books or comic-related movies.

Mini Review: Edges of Darkness (2009)

Action Flick Chick ~ March 8, 2010

Edges of Darkness is a zombie horror film with hardly any zombies in it. This is a tale of three different stories that take place during a zombie apocalypse. Now, based on that, you might be thinking that the film is about zombies, but it isn’t. Ha-ha! I made that mistake too. It only takes [...]

How Do Fan Convention Experiences Differ for Women and Men?

Action Flick Chick ~ March 8, 2010


The Action Flick Chick and some friends got to discussing Comic-Con dos and don’ts. This wasn’t the first time the topic has come up and won’t be the last. A couple of her blogger gal pals have posted some great guides. For example, Nerdy Bird Jill Pantozzi (@TheNerdyBird) had responded to the LA Times’ “Girls’ Guide [...]

Warriors of Stand-Up Comedy: Kate Micucci of Garfunkel and Oates (with G&O Tickets Giveaway, DVDs Too)

Action Flick Chick ~ March 8, 2010


Comedy can be lethal. Stand-up comics whose acts go over well “killed tonight” or “really slayed ‘em” because their audiences “died laughing.”
In the G4TV Women of the Web special in which Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill was announced as the winner of the Next Woman of the Web competition, G4 looked at 15 other women [...]

Blog-It Llama! ~ March 5, 2010

The Crazies (2010)

Action Flick Chick ~ February 28, 2010

On a separate note, did you hear what happened to me and my town. Sheriff Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) and his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell), started telling everyone that our citizens were “crazy” or something. I just don’t see where all the “craziness” is though. We aren’t crazy! Just accident prone!

Bioshock 2 Review: Another trip Under the Sea

Blog-It Llama! ~ February 27, 2010

Video game developer 2K’s hit game “Bioshock” won multiple awards for 2007’s Game of the Year, from television shows like Spike TV’s “Video Game Awards” and G4’s “X-Play” to magazines like IGN and Game Informer. The sequel, “Bioshock 2,” has a high standard to uphold. Is it successful? That depends on whether the player wants a return home or a revolution.

Award-Winning Best Worst Movie Coming to Theaters

Blog-It Llama! ~ February 25, 2010

Troll 2 is known as the “best worst movie” for many reasons. We unabashedly love this movie. Unlike Ed Wood’s masterpieces of terrible filmmaking, Troll 2 has no slow parts. It’s interesting and mind bogglingly weird from beginning to end.
After the Action Flick Chick reviewed it, (“Troll 2 (1990): Reasons Not to Eat Green Eggs [...]

Ultraviolet (2006): The Monster You Don’t Want Knocking Down Your Door

Action Flick Chick ~ February 25, 2010

As I’ve said before, Milla Jovovich is one hot lady. But she’s not just a hot lady, she does her share of kicking ass as well. Last year I inducted her into Chicks Who Don’t Want Flowers for Valentine’s Day for her role in Resident Evil. She’s so awesome that she is being added to the category again for her role in Ultraviolet.

Monsterplex was #1 at the time. Island Alone has moved into first place, but Monsterplex is running strong. So this week we asked Brock’s Monsterplex artist Dave Schlotterback about the whole process.
