Looper by Rian Johnson

My review of Rian Johnson's Looper is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

It's more of an impassioned speech about supporting originality in the studio system, but check it out all the same.  And, you know, go see the fucking movie already.

The Three-Day Affair by Michael Kardos

My review of Michael Kardos' debut novel The Three-Day Affair is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

If you don't believe the Nerd's rave review, hit up Kardos' name in the tags at the bottom of the review on the spinetingler site and scope Keith Rawson's similarly glowing review - the reason I picked up this beast in the first place.

The Prophet by Michael Koryta

My review of Michael Koryta's The Prophet is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

If you're not familiar with dude's work, hit up his name in the labels below on this page.  Envy the Night is second only to The Prophet.

Crime Factory Vol. 2 No. 11

The new Crime Factory is up and that means another Crime Sleeper Double Feature from yours truly, this time on Bob Rafelson's The King of Marvin Gardens (1972) and Louis Malle's Atlantic City (1980) entitled "Small-Time Dreamers on the Big-Time Boardwalk."

You can find that shit on pages 50-57 of the issue HERE.

When you're done with that beast, check out the other cool shit in there.  You'll find stuff from Max Allan Collins (holy shit!), Jimmy Palmiotti, Eric Beetner, Jonathan Woods, and a whole helluva lot more.

My piece on Breaking Bad's final episode of season five part I, "Gliding Over All," is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

They really broke the bank on source music this season, didn't they?  Not to a (say it with me) Sopranos level but still, lots of pricey songs this year, relatively.

Lake Country by Sean Doolittle

My review of Sean Doolittle's Lake Country is up at spinetingler.

Check that beast out HERE.

I'm a huge fan of Doolittle's previous work as well - Safer, The Cleanup, Burn, Rain Dogs - but his debut, Dirt, is kinda hard to come by.

Somebody should fix that toot-sweet.  We're in the ebook age now, after all.

My recap of episode seven of season five part one of Breaking Bad is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

One more episode left this season.  I'm already bummed.

If there's anybody out there who has a problem with what's been going down on BB as of late:

1) Explain to me what that could even possibly be

2) Kill yourself

Killer Joe by William Friedkin

My review of Killer Joe, written by Tracy Letts and directed by William Friedkin, is up at spinetingler.

Check that shit out HERE.

Glad I was able to make the packed early screening of this movie as it was great to see it in a crowd that was (mostly) down for the sick fun that is this fucking beast of a flick.
