Next week is finals week and so we will be taking off the rest of the month to study and write some future reviews for the stock pile (shocker, some of our reviews are not just written two hours before they need to be posted). 

See you all in January. 

Well Internet, it was bound to have happened sooner or later. After spending the last three-to-three-and-a-half hours writing an article, I felt the need to sort through our comments section. It appears that whenever one of use links back to either someone else on the site or even our own posts, Word Press will count this effectively as a comment.  I tend to delete these, but I guess I missed a few so in the process of what I thought was removing the comments directly from the trash, I was actually sending all of the comments from the real comments folder to the trash to then removed from the trash folder. People that manage Word Press comment sections are familiar with what  I address.

Bottom line, if you have ever commented on this site, thus been involved in perhaps creating discussion in regards to what we find, I hereby apologize for my human error. I know for a fact that we have seen an original creator chiming in before and I myself have met in person another commenter, but I just feel that I cut our life blood by mistake. Let me speak for the writers of this site when I say that your feedback is the biggest part of the reason that we do this and to have that digital evidence removed oddly startles us. I will make sure that all efforts will be made to retrieve that data, and if that does not work then I promise that I will set up better percussions for this in the future. Thanks for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Children of The Blazing Fist Co-Founder and Head Writer Franklin Raines

Hey guys. Just wanted to inform you all out there that I have been drafted to write for a site run by friends of mine by the name of SciFiFx. So if you want to see specifically me cover more of a range of material, then I suggest you check the site out (and yes this is in place of an actual post this week).

So we will be taking a month long Hiatus through the rest of May considering that Finals have been placed on our plates. We have a ton of new material coming your way though starting in June, so you will not be lonely for long.

After such a long time coming we here have now created a Facebook group. Updates will be given and notifications will be sent when ever we post up a review or we just happen to be going to a local convention in the area.

Hope to see you guys there.

Hey everybody, I know we have not had any new post in a while due to Franklin and I having finals. Since school is now over we will be up and running for the summer and onward.

New reviews are coming and hopefully a change of appearance for the page.

New content by the end of the week, we promise.

Thanks for Reading

So you might have seen that we finally got to posting reviews. Yes, we have finally stopped sh*t talking and got to the critiquing. Thankfully Alex and I have gained a taste of what releasing something on a semi-regular schedule can feel like. Now for what is to come.

Alex is getting to the writing portion of his review of the Warren Ellis comic Supergod, I am writing about the Thai martial arts film Chocolate (with Black Death having to wait I thought that I would talk about another Magnolia released film).

Also, if you guys have anything you want to take us to task for, just write us something  in the comments.

Unfortunately Alex and I were not able to get together to do the first review (Alex was in the hospital for two days), so that first review won’t show up until Tuesday. But I’m free until Monday so I will be posting a review or two to finally get this train-wreck-a-rolling.

We have a few reviews in the pipe line: I am revisiting Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage just a little more before I work a review in for that, we’re watching Death Race 2000 for Alex’s review, we are setting up our first two books reviews (I just finished Larry King’s “My Remarkable Journey” and I am still feeling this Biography kick. Let’s just say that my first review might be about a man with a chin that can “kill”), and that Urusei Yatsura review will be showing up first.

Plus, we are getting together with our good friend Matt to do an The Illusionist (2011) review and a future review of the new Sean Bean film, Black Death.

Update:

Time changes all things, and this blog is no exception to that rule. I went on a huge shopping spree and now I more than enough stuff for both Alex and myself to review.

Now this is where it gets a little messy. The review of The Illusionist (2011) that our friend Matt was going to do didn’t happen; Matt forgot to write down notes and found himself not able to do the film justice. I mulled it over and worked with what I had. See I was planning on doing a review on the movie Milk, with Sean Penn, but thought that Matt’s focus on acting might come more in handy than my focus on special effects. So I basically had him work on the review, something he should finish after the fury of his future play subsides.

Black Death is also having a hard time getting a theater by us, so that will also have to wait.

Update 2: Black Death is playing in Dallas on a Friday that Matt has the play. I worked it over again and I decided just to sit him down with another film from Magnolia’s archive. Personally, it also gave me a blank check to do a review of the film Chocolate (which looks amazing). I considered an ultimatum, since Matt and I have been talking about The Thing for about a month now, I was thinking about all three of us doing a review each of John Carpenter’s Apocalypse Triology. Consisting of The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and In the Mouth of Madness.

Also Alex’s review of Death Race will be up today. His first review and the first for the blog. I am working on a review of both the AD Police manga and anime, which I should have finished by Friday. That Hokuto Musuo review should also be up then. I have half of it done, I just need to finish it and edit it.

I guess that is it for now.

Here’s a hint for what we’re starting off with:



That’s one way to start with a bang.

We promise something new while drawing from things that are old. Watch as how this statement haunts us for the rest of our days.  

Reviews to follow.
