Tears In Rain – Legendary Actor Rutger Hauer Passes Away At 75
Rutger Hauer, legendary Dutch actor passed away on 24 July at the age of 75. Upon reading the news on the BBC website, I was genuinely upset, Rutger was one of my favourite actors of all time.
I was an 80's kid, that phenomenal decade encompassed my formative years, all the greatest cult and horror movies emanated from the eighties, as well as some of the greatest action stars in history – Arnie, Sly, Wesley but most affirmably Rutger, who was very, very much different to his peers as an actor, yet walked along a similar cinematic line… of the names mentioned (all of whom I adore, especially Wesley Snipes) Rutger was, without a doubt, streets ahead in both acting talent and charisma.
From the seventies, throughout the eighties and beyond, Rutger starred in a plethora of cult and blockbuster movies, with personal favourites including – The Hitcher, Blind Fury, Split Second, Wanted: Dead Or Alive, Ladyhawke and Salute Of The Jugger. Though he was most fondly remembered for his astonishing turn as Roy Batty, the replicant antagonist from Ridley Scott's Sci-Fi opus 'Blade Runner'. Though titular star of that seminal movie – Harrison Ford was billed as leading actor, it was Rutger who stole the movie as the tragic antagonist Batty. Rutger brought much needed pathos to the role and ended up not only eclipsing Ford's performance but also had the best lines, especially his famous "Time to die" monologue (actually written by Rutger himself!) which cemented his status as the celluloid legend he will always be…
R.I.P Rutger Hauer, we shall miss you sir.
Modern British Cult Cinema: HOWL
Director: Paul Hyett. Writers: Mark Huckerby, Nick Ostler. Cast: Ed Speelers, Holly Weston, Shauna McDonald, Sean Pertwee, Rosie Day.
Werewolves are awesome aren't they? howling at the moon, voraciously stalking their prey, fighting vampires (but mostly losing, 'cause Kate Beckinsale kicks arse… obviously!) Over the decades there have been a fair few great movies based upon the shape shifting lycanthropes, dating back as far as 1935 with 'Werewolf of London' through classic Lon Chaney's 'The Wolf Man' from 1941, and beyond with such deliciously depraved delights as The Howling, An American Werewolf In London (my personal fave), The Company Of Wolves, Ginger Snaps and the aforementioned bad-arse Beckinsale movie series 'Underworld' , this particular horror sub-genre has been well served over the years.
In 2002, British director Neil Marshall (Descent, Centurion, Hellboy) gave us his own vision of the classic genre with the stupendous 'Dog Soldiers' an absolute gem of a movie that followed a small group of British soldiers on a training mission against the S.A.S in the Scottish Highlands, but the Special Air Service turns out to be the least of their worries as they are assailed by an even deadlier force (yep, deadlier than the SAS!) a pack of ravenous lycos! The low budget horror/comedy was a huge smash hit not just in the UK but worldwide, and helped propel the career of it's helm Neil Marshall to international stardom.
'Howl' is the most recent Anglo entry into this lycanthropic category, and feels very much like it's embedded in the same universe as Dog Soldiers, in fact there's even a cameo by brilliant British thesp – Sean Pertwee (this time with entrails intact!) though in the popular tradition of English actors named 'Sean' he doesn't last too long! (seriously, English actors bearing that titular name have about the same amount of movie survivability as a red shirted Star Trek security officer!)
Train guard Joe, winding down after a long shift, is pushed into taking on a red eye journey by his new (sneery and unpleasant) supervisor. Tired but unwilling to rock the boat (train?) Joe agrees, and boards the non-stop train from Waterloo, yet his resolve and that of his fellow commuters will be tested to the utmost when the train seemingly breaks down in a dark and ominous stretch of forest miles from anywhere. With communications down and the train driver inexplicably missing, Joe attempts to keep the passengers calm, which ultimately proves futile as the train is assailed by an unknown animal, large of stature and with a blood lust for the occupants of the stricken carriages.
Howl is a tense, fun and rollickingly wild Werewolf siege movie, in the style of the aforementioned Dog Soldiers. Some decent acting from a great cast (which includes Ed Speelers of Downtown Abbey, Shauna McDonald of The Descent, and of course the legendary Sean Pertwee ) a superbly creepy setting, but most importantly of all, the gore and werewolves themselves are top notch, though the film isn't quite up to the standards of Dog Soldiers, the creature effects in HOWL far outstrip those in Marshall's earlier lyco opus, in fact the practical effects are some of the best I've seen in a UK horror for years especially considering the rather low budget nature of the film (a measly £1,000,000) Highly Recommended!
Precinct1313's Top Ten Favourite Feisty Female Fighting Furies…
Mmmmm, we haven't dared to tread the perilous path of the infamous Top 10 list so far here in the darkest depths of Precinct1313, never really gave the idea of doing one much thought to be honest. That is until recently, when blogging buddy 'The Vintage Toy Advertiser' rendered his very own (and really rather amusing) Top 10 masterclass (which you can indulge your senses in right here) that we thought, suffering sappho, let's do one of them there list things then, and thus…
Precinct1313's Ten Favourite Furiously Fierce Femme's Fatale
NB: This list will contain both fictional and non-fictional wildly wondrous warrior women for your delectation…
No.10 – Big Barda
No list of vivacious virago vixens should ever be without the formidable presence of fighting fury and thorn in Granny Goodness' side – Big Barda, for she truly encompasses everything to love about powerful, vibrant female characters who are easily able to match and (in most cases for Barda especially) surpass their male counterparts. How tough is Barda? we'll let the picture below answer that query…
No.09 – Lara Croft
Quintessentially British acrobatic archaeologist Lara Croft has been raiding tombs, securing ancient artefacts and performing perilous platforming since she was first unleashed unto the gaming world by Core Design in 1996. Since that time she has become one of the most recognisable video-game characters of all time and sits proudly in the upper echelons alongside Master Chief, Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.
No.08 – Moon Lee
I'm an 80's kid, I grew up during that phenomenal decade alongside many classic onscreen action stars and martial artists, even as a youngster my preference was always female characters/fighters and one of the biggest influences for me then was the magnificent Moon Lee. Hong Kong action star supreme, Moon Lee Choi-Fung starred in close to a formidable fifty films during her heyday of the 1980's!
No. 07 – Batwoman
Kate Kane's Batwoman alter ego first debuted in the 1956 issue of Detective Comics #233 created by Bob Kane and Sheldon Moldoff. Initially created as a female counterpart and love interest to the Batman, Kate has over the past sixty years (thankfully) shed that unfortunate creation calamity and has now become one of the biggest and most beloved of female comic book characters, with a much needed revamp and resurgence through the hand of artist/writer JH Williams III. Reversing the inauspicious and unenlightened conception and delivering a new standard for empowerment in the burgeoning female Superhero market.
No. 06 – Catwoman
Though most Bat-fans see The Joker as Batsy's biggest foe, for me personally the character that inhabited that perch was always anti-hero cat burglar Selina Kyle. Though Mr J is without a doubt the bigger threat to the dark and surly one's psyche, Selina holds something over Bats that the jester of genocide never, ever could… his heart. She has been Batman's most enduring love interest since her inception in Batman #1 in June of 1940… puuuurfect!
No. 05 – Cynthia Rothrock
As previously mentioned some of the biggest influences on me growing up were the plethora of fantastic fighting females that occupied the realms of martial arts cinema, and my most beloved and admired is none other than scintillating Cynthia Rothrock. American born Cynthia is quite possibly the most successful female martial arts master in history – she is five times world champion in weapons and forms and currently holds an astonishing seven black belts in varying martial disciplines! She has also starred in over fifty movies throughout her career, and has acted alongside greats such as Sammo Hung and Michelle Yeoh.
No. 04 – Batgirl
Though the Batgirl name and costume have been inhabited by several different women over the years, the most beloved and well known is assuredly the second holder of the bombastic bat mantle – Barbara (Babs) Gordon. Replacing original holder of the title – Bette Kane (who was created in 1961) Babs debut was in 1967, daughter of Gotham Police Commissioner James Gordon and head of Gotham City Library. Her auspicious crime fighting career began with a triumphant save of Bruce Wayne from a kidnapping plot wrought by SuperVillain Killer Moth, and cemented her place in Bat history!
No. 03 – Elvira – Mistress Of The Dark
Elvira may not be a martial arts action star or female fighting force but what she definitely is, is a sensation of female empowerment and positive attitude. A strong, outspoken comedienne who used her innate sexual prowess to turn the tables on mysogynynistic and prejudice laden media from her first appearance courtesy of actress Cassandra Peterson in 1981. Self deprecating and dripping in risque double-entendres, her campy humour has propelled the voluptuous vixen vamp to celebrated cult status, and beyond!
No. 02 – Starfire
Fiery alien princess – Starfire has been a favourite of the Precinct since she was first unleashed in the pages of DC Comics Presents #26 in 1980. Created by the legendary pairing of comic book royalty – George Perez and Marv Wolfman, Koriand'r instantly became a much beloved character and mainstay of The Teen Titans. Hailing from the planet Tamaran, Kory escaped the ravaging of her home by Tamaran enemies The Citadel and her own feuding sister Komand'r (aka – Blackfire) and made a new life for herself on Earth. She is currently the leader of the Teen Titans and founding member of Justice League Odyssey alongside Jessica Cruz, Azrael and Cyborg.
No. 01 – Wonder Woman
Well, if you've been following the Precinct for any length of time then you probably knew that the Themysciran Titan would, of course, occupy the titular top spot, and hey, guess what… you were right! I've been a WW fan since I was around nine years old she is truly the greatest fictional female character ever, and has had the most significant and profound effect upon female empowerment of any fictitious persona ever created. Her genius creator William Moulton Marston first envisioned the Amazonian warrior princess in 1941, when she took the covetous cover appearance on All Star Comics #8. Marston was a supporter of the Suffragette movement of the 1940's, of whom his own wife Elizabeth was a founding member.
All hail the wondrous one!
If you've managed to stay the course of this list, then thanks fellow Agents. Who are some of your personal favourite female furies of all time? let battle commence in the comments below…
The Week In Geek… With Precinct1313 – SDCC Special
Welcome fellow Agents of Precinct1313 to another exhilarating episode of 'The Week In Geek' where we love to share our favourite – Comic Book, Video-Game and Cult Movie news for your perusal and pleasure. And so once more unto the geek dear Agents, once more…
A veritable feast for the eyes was unveiled at this years largest American geek gathering – San Diego Comic-Con, in fact smorgasbord would be a rather more fitting word for the absolutely astonishing avalanche of DC Comics greatness that was available… and, of course, your ever prescient Precinct1313 is here to share said greatness with you, it's fellow Agents, beginning with…
The First Trailer For Shazam… Blew Minds!
It's an unfortunate thing being a geek sometimes… especially when awesome stuff comes along that literally explodes your head, I mean it's such an unpleasant and rather icky chore to constantly pick up brain matter and skull fragments from the floor every time something uber cool makes an appearance… and the trailer for DC Comics' cinematic adaptation for the coming of age Superhero – Shazam is just that thing. In fact the trailer is so damnably great, that I rigorously had my hands pressed hard against my head to stop the inevitable explosion of said geeky brain matter (more fool me of course… implosions are just as goddamn messy!)
Indulge in the trailer below fellow fans of fantastic fiction…
Aquaman Trailer Makes Waves At SDCC…
Sorry folks if you've just finished scooping up your inevitably exploded heads from the floor after watching the stonking Shazam trailer, cos it's about to happen again with the premier for James Wan's adaptation of DC's king of the seas, Aquaman. Atlantis' favoured son, Arthur Curry, will be surfing his way towards the big screen this Winter, and under the guidance of film auteur – the aforementioned Wan, everyone is expecting great things… and this first glimpse definitely does not disappoint… it's looking like the tide has finally turned for Aquaman.
Luxuriate In The Trailer Below My Astonishing Atlantean Associates…
Stargirl – Coming Back To A Small Screen Near You Soon…
We love the character of Stargirl here in Precinct1313's comic crypts, she has been a favourite of ours for many a year now. So it was with great delight when we saw her pop up in CW's live action Legends Of Tomorrow series, and she was actually rather well realised in the episodes. Yet, we were really hoping she would ultimately become a team mainstay, alas that never happened… luckily though, one of her creators, the fantastic Geoff Johns is currently working on bringing Courtney Whitmore back for her own series, for DC's upcoming digital streaming service – DC Universe.
The project is an emotional and significant one for Johns, who based the character on his sister, Courtney, who died in a plane explosion in the 90's. Johns will both write and produce the series along with cohort Greg Berlanti, who has been the driving force behind DC's commanding Superheroic presence on the small screen with such shows as Supergirl, The Flash and Arrow.

Lara Croft Triumphantly Returns To The Silver Screen In First Trailer For Her New Movie…
Quintessentially English archaeologist and raider of tombs, Lara Croft will triumphantly return to the big screen in 2018, with Swedish actress Alicia Vikander portraying the much loved iconic video-game heroine. It has actually been an astonishing fourteen years since the much beloved character was last seen in a live action role, as depicted by Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider: Cradle Of Life, so let's be honest, a new movie following our favourite globetrotting, relic hunting bad-ass superheroine is looooong overdue!
We are huge fans of the lovely Lara here in the Precinct and have been ever since we got our hands on her original video-game outing way back in 1996 on our my highly missed Sega Saturn. The original game by British developers Eidos Interactive revolved around the exploits of super archaelogist and adventurer Ms Croft and tasked the player with guiding the titular heroine through various tombs and ruins searching for long lost mythological artifacts whilst avoiding death traps, wild animals and solving puzzles.
The new film is based upon the 2013 reboot and is looking really rather wonderful, one of the things we were worried about was whether or not Alicia would be able to nail Lara's extremely British accent, but judging by the first trailer for the film, it's sounding pretty damn good (being English myself, I approve!) Revel in the first trailer for the film (below), and then lament that we have to wait until March 2018 to see it:
Shazam Movie To Start Pre-Production Early 2018…
"SHAZAM!!" *looks at self, realises nothing has happened* "dammit, it doesn't seem to work for mere mortals such as myself (sigh)…" you see whenever classic DC character Billy Batson utters the magical phrase 'Shazam' he turns into the iconic and mystical superhero… uh… Shazam! (formerly known as Captain Marvel)
Shazam's first appearance was in Whiz Comics #2 in 1940, and revolved around the adventures of 12 year old Billy Batson, who upon speaking the magic word of the six immortal elders: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury transformed into the adult Superhero with powers that include, flight, super strength, super speed, magical lightning and spell casting. The long awaited movie adaptation has been waiting in the wings for what seems like forever, but news has emerged that principal photography will begin early next year. Apart from that little else is known about the project including casting details… more as we hear it fellow fans of fantastic fiction.
HBO Confirms Watchmen TV Pilot Episode…
Yes, yes, yes… YES! I love Watchmen, it is without a shadow of a doubt my absolute favourite comic book series of all time, the Zack Snyder directed 2009 movie adaptation was a masterpiece, and now it seems we are going to be getting an episodic TV series based upon the masterful 80's series, and by HBO no less… so quality is mostly assured!
The Cable network company has officially ordered the pilot and also commissioned extra scripts from screenwriter and producer Damon Lindeloff (Lost, Star Trek) for his take on Alan Moore's iconic series. Lindeloff is a huge fan of both the original source material and Zack Snyder's own take, and mentioned in a recent interview with Hollywood Reporter that – "The original comic series continues to influence my work, from the flashbacks to the non linear storytelling, to the deeply flawed characters, these are elements I try to put into everything I write" Soooooo exciting, I literally cannot wait for Rorschach's rambunctious return!

Modern British Cult Cinema: Franklyn
Franklyn paints a portrait of four lost souls – Jonathan Preest, a masked vigilante who seeks revenge against the overseer of the religious regime of Meanwhile City. Manic depressive Emilia, who concocts suicidal art performances. Forlorn Milo, who is desperately searching for his one true love, and Peter, who is investigating the disappearance of his missing son, an ex military veteran. These four lives intertwined by fate across parallel worlds eventually collide, as a single bullet determines their destiny.
Cast: Eva Green, Ryan Phillippe, Sam Riley, Bernard Hill, Richard Coyle, James Faulkner. Script by: Gerald McMorrow. Directed by: Gerald McMorrow.
Franklyn is a visually rich and stunning film set across the dystopian landscape of parallel dimensions, Meanwhile City and contemporary London. It is within these dark ethereal perspectives that we encounter our four protagonists, each lost within themselves, and on an intertwined and fated path to ultimately affect each others lives, for good or ill.
Ryan Phillippe plays Preest, a masked atheist vigilante who resides in the religiously fervent Meanwhile City, a multi-faith metropolis that encourages the practice of all forms of religious reverence… except atheism. Cults and sects proliferate the city, and Preest has tasked himself with rescuing the unfortunate souls who have been kidnapped and converted into their nefarious schism. But tonight, on the rain sodden streets of this dark conurbation, loomed over by miles of cathedrals and temples, Preest is planning his revenge on the city's religious rapture.
Eva Green gives up an emotionally charged performance as Amelia, a gothic art student who is eternally embedded in a state of manic depression, rage and sorrow. Repeatedly committing attempts of suicide, for what she constantly tells herself is just part of her art project for her course, but each venture into self-sacrifice becomes decidedly more and more risky.
Bernard Hill plays Esser, a father agonising over the disappearance of his estranged son, an ex military vet with psychogenic problems, with our quartet of protagonists rounded out by Milo, played by Sam Riley, a previously jilted spouse, whose life is thrust into emotional turmoil by the reappearance of his former childhood sweetheart.
When these parallel worlds eventually collide, a prescient bullet will inextricably change the course of these four strangers, linking their disconsolate lives in a single moment of coherence.
Franklyn is a haunting rhapsody of gothic imagery, fantastic performances from the lead actors and a nonpareil story that slowly weaves itself from from four distinctly separate storylines into one beguiling twist that brings together the protagonists of the film, changing them irrevocably.
Gerald McMorrow adapts his own script with a promising debut as a director, beautifully shot around various boroughs of London, with a solid and talented cast, and especially noteworthy performances from Eva Green and Ryan Phillippe. Franklyn is an evocative dark fairytale that provides a fascinating journey into life, love and loss. Highly recommended.

Big Trouble Is Heading To Your Tabletop…
We are huge fans of director John Carpenter here in the Precinct, which will be obvious to most considering the name of our website is a riff on one of his greatest movies. After Halloween and The Thing our third favourite Carpenter classic is the fantastically funny "Big Trouble In Little China" the Kurt Russell starring martial arts/comedy combo is an absolute gem of a film, and now you can recreate the quintessential classic at home thanks to a new board game based upon the cult movie.
The game itself is currently still in development, but designers Chris Batarlis and Boris Polonsky have revealed the workings of the game itself and images of the fantastically recreated board and pieces, which look remarkably like their cinematic counterparts.
"It's a thematic, co-operative, strategy, miniatures adventure game that allows 1-4 players to experience the events they remember from the film as well as create new adventures of their own. The game plays in two acts – Act One uses the front side of the game board: Chinatown, whilst Act Two takes place on the back: Lo Pan's Lair"
Batgirl Joins DCEU Courtesy Of Joss Whedon…
That's right Bat-fans, everyone's second favourite bat eared, cape wearing vigilante, Batgirl will be starring in her very own movie… directed by Joss Whedon no less! It has been confirmed by entertainment magazine, Variety, that Babs Gordon's red haired costumed crime-fighter will follow Wonder Woman into the annals of female led Superhero movies… great news indeed, the diversity will surely help balance out the overabundance of male driven comic-book films and pave the way for more classic female heroes and villains (Come on Batwoman!!)
Variety also confirmed that the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Avengers director is currently in talks with Warner Bros to write and direct the comic-book spin off, which should help the prospective film to gain traction amongst fans and critics alike… exciting news indeed.
Black Lightning Strikes: First Look At Cress Williams In Costume…
Our first glimpse at actor Cress Williams in the iconic Black Lightning costume was revealed this week, the upcoming CW show is being produced by Greg Berlanti and is currently still in production.
Black Lightning (real name Jefferson Pierce) was created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden, and made his debut appearance in 'Black Lightning #1′ in April 1977. Jefferson is one of the first major African-American Superheroes to appear in comics, he has been an on/off member of the Justice League and a regular in the Batman created team 'The Outsiders'. Jefferson's power set includes – the generation and manipulation of electricity, flight, and the ability to conjure force fields.

Lara Croft Returns…
Lara Croft, the quintessentially English raider of tombs will be returning to the silver screen in 2018 courtesy of Swedish actress Alicia Vikander. The adventurous archaeologist was last seen at cinemas in the 2003 "Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life" starring Angelina Jolie. The new movie seems to be following heavily in the footsteps of the recent reboot of the game itself in 2013, right down to digital Lara's actual outfit, as these recent set photos confirm.
The movie is set for release in March 2018, starring Alicia Vikander, Walter Goggins, and Dominic West. Directed by Roar Uthaug.
2000AD Gets Set To Celebrate It's 40th Anniversary…
Stalwart British Sci-Fi/Fantasy anthology comic (or Prog, as we call it here in jolly ol' Blighty) 2000AD is preparing itself for celebrating it's fortieth year in print! The Zarjaz zine was unleashed onto the British comic book scene in 1977 and has gone on to be the biggest selling and most loved comic book in the UK's history, the classic comic has introduced such legendary creations as – Judge Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, Slaine and Zenith amongst a cavalcade of others too numerous to mention.
Not only has this groundbreaking comic given us a cadre of classic characters, but it was also responsible for letting loose some of the UK's most famed comic book creators, such luminous lights as – Alan Moore, John Higgins, Brian Bolland, Alan Grant, Grant Morrison, Simon Bisley, Pat Mills et al. And on February 11th, these creators and more will be attending Hammersmith, London in a celebration of mighty magnitude for a "Forty Years Of Thrill Power" festival that includes panel discussions, live drawing exhibitions, exclusive film screenings and prop displays. Happy Birthday 2000AD!
Netflix To Unleash Castlevania TV Show…
Netflix have announced an upcoming series based upon Konami's much loved video-game franchise Castlevania. The Japanese action adventure game debuted way back in 1986 to instant acclaim, it is centered around the Belmont family, a clan of vampire hunters and their protracted war against Count Dracula and his minions.
Apart from this initial announcement (contained within a press release) very little else is known about the project, except one tantalising nugget, that the first season will be penned by none other than the great Warren Ellis, Comic Book author extraordinaire, who has given the world such astonishing series as Hellblazer and Transmetropolitan. If this turns out as great as I hope, maybe we could see more production companies mining the vast annals of video-game lore… Dark Souls TV series anyone!

Modern British Cult Cinema – Halloween Special: OUTPOST
(Warning: Minor Spoilers Ahead)
Former Royal Marine turned mercenary, D.C. (Ray Stevenson) and his ragtag group of ex-soldiers take on the task of protecting scientist, Hunt (Julian Wadham) as he searches for an old military bunker deep in Eastern Europe. Little do they know that this seemingly innocuous task will lead them straight into the hands of a long dormant and malevolent enemy… that cannot die.
Cast: Ray Stevenson, Richard Brake, Julian Wadham, Paul Blair, Enoch Frost, Michael Smiley, Brett Fancy. Writer: Rae Brunton. Director: Steve Barker.
Outpost is a fantastic British suspense/horror movie in the vein of the excellent 'Dog Soldiers' and Norwegian horror/comedy 'Dead Snow'… but played straight. Ex Royal Marine D.C. (played by the always dependable Ray Stevenson of 'Punisher Warzone' and 'Rome') is tasked with guiding and protecting scientist and businessman, Hunt as he searches the depths of war torn Eastern Europe for a long forgotten WWII outpost, under dubious pretences.
Accompanying D.C. on his expedition are his mainstay group of experienced ex-soldiers, each eager for the promised large payout for what seems an apparently routine job. Upon reaching their goal however they realise that what previously seemed an effortless undertaking, gradually turns into hell on earth, as they are slowly consumed by an ancient evil, that cannot be killed by conventional means.
The intriguing central story premise surrounds the character of Hunt, a scientist sent by an unknown shadowy third party to uncover an old WWII bunker in search of, what initially the mercenaries think is lost nazi gold, but actually turns out to be a rather unusual generator with strangely supernatural properties.
English film director and screenwriter Sean Barker presents us with a fabulously creepy and chilling horror movie that really piles on the suspense to unsettling effect. The locations are shot completely in Scotland, and are a convincing replacement for the supposed Eastern European setting, especially the dark foreboding woods that surrounds the WWII bunker delivering a supremely brooding and disquieting presence and giving the film a distinctly claustrophobic effect. The gore quotient is quite high, but the film is definitely more suspense horror than out and out splatter flick.
Some well paced action sequences punctuate the slow suspenseful build up, and the enemy themselves are fiendishly well realised and exude a tone of disturbing malevolence that eminently serves to heighten their revenant revival at the halfway point of the film.
A brilliantly suspenseful British chiller, that treads well used ground but still manages to make the genre feel fresh and innovative. Some excellent acting turns from the mainly British cast list, phenomenal make up and gore effects and a notably effective and creepy setting all combine to form an extremely re-watchable zombie flick.

'No Capes Darling!'… Behind The Scenes Shots Of Gal's Wonder Cloak…
Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice was awesome, and even more awesome was the big screen debut of the amazing Amazon in said movie. Gal Gadot's outstanding performance just oozed a regal sense of beauty, honour and strength, she was in fact not just the Wonder Woman we needed, but also the one we deserved! Her film costume honoured her comic book roots, but also added a splash of originality all of its own, the one thing we didn't see her wearing in the movie though was her cloak. These pictures of the Themysciran Titan replete with mantle were released recently thanks to the special features section of the digital download ultimate cut of Bats v Supes, with the avian-esque look of the cloak showing deference to the iconic Amazon Herald eagle motif.
New International Suicide Squad Posters Revealed…
Oooooh, not long now my fellow fans of fantastic fiction, Suicide Squad is only just over a month away from cinematic release. David Ayer's take on DC Comics' group of Super-Villain badasses is looking all kinds of crazy in the best possible way… oh and Jared Leto's Joker… nuff said! Until then though, why not feast your eyes on these new international posters.
Gal Gadot Honours Lynda Carter With Her Very Own Wondy Spin…
Lynda Carter in the seventies and early Eighties 'WAS' Wonder Woman… the iconic music, camp nature, oh and, of course, the classic spin transformation…
In a fun little behind the scenes clip, Gal Gadot recently gave everyone exactly what they had been waiting for… her own take on it. And it is ridiculously awesome and strangely mesmerising (in fact I can't stop watching it!)
And now, neither can you!

JK Simmons Cast As Jim Gordon In Justice League Movie…
Award winning actor JK Simmons has been cast in the role of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon in the 2017 dated Justice League movie. Simmons will follow in the footsteps of Gary Oldman, who played the role (fantastically, I might add) in Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight Trilogy'.
Of course this isn't the first time that the Oscar winning actor has had a major role in a comic book franchise, he portrayed Chief Editor of the Daily Bugle – J. Jonah Jameson in the original Sam Raimi directed 'Spiderman' trilogy.
Cult British Game Developer – Lionhead Studios Are Being Shut Down…
Classic and much loved English video-game creators Lionhead Studios are being shuttered by their parent company Microsoft in the very near future it has been announced. Lionhead was founded by Peter Molyneux and Steve Jackson in 1996, and has given the gaming world such iconic delights as – the Fable trilogy and Black and White.
Lionhead were deep in development of the persistent online Fable Legends game when the announcement was broken, Fable Legends has also been canned. A very sad day for gaming, Lionhead have always been one of the very best when it comes to British video-game creators, Microsoft have said that they would seek alternative employment for their staff at Lionhead once the layoffs become official.
Crimson Fox Will Be One Of The First Superheroes To Join DC Comics' "Powerless"…
The currently filming NBC comedy "Powerless" which takes place in an insurance agency office that deals with claims arising from Superhero destruction, has announced that one of the first DC characters to appear on the show is French superhero and former member of Justice League Europe – Crimson Fox.
Crimson Fox is actually two different people, identical twins Vivian and Constance D'aramis, who share the role. Fox was created by Keith Giffen and Bart Sears in 1989 and made her (their) first appearance in JLE #6. This is a fantastic idea for a Superhero TV show, and it will be intriguing to see each week what obscure DC characters will show up. More news on this as we hear it.

Suicide Squad Film Posters Unshackled
Warner Bros have unleashed a spectacular set of film posters for their upcoming Suicide Squad movie. The unique and stylish posters show each of the individual Villains as skulls with a distinctive visual flair that represents the character it's based upon (Joker's manic grin and green hair, Deadshot's cybernetic eye-scope… )
Extreme situations sometimes call for extreme action, which is where the Suicide Squad (aka – Task Force X) come in. The group of Supervillains and Metahumans who reside in the Government controlled penitentiary of Belle Reve, are tasked with taking on situations deemed too risky for normal operatives. Flying under the radar and with full deniability from the Government, these powerful yet unstable individuals must face the worst the world has to offer, with each member considered an expendable asset… sometimes evil can only be bested by something even more so…
Look out for the highly anticipated second trailer releasing on Tuesday 19 January as part of the CW channel's 30 minute special titled – "DC Films presents: Dawn of the Justice League" right after the mid-season premiere of the second series of The Flash.
Happy Inception Day Roy Batty
That's right fellow Blade Runners, today marks the incept date of one of celluloid's coolest ever antagonists; the Nexus 6 designated: N6MAA10816, better known as Roy Batty. It has been an astonishing 34 years since Rutger Hauer's cool as ice, enigmatic psychopath Batty was first introduced in Ridley Scott's ground-breaking dystopian sci-fi flick "Blade Runner."
The Tyrell Corporation's genetically engineered 'replicants' are virtually indistinguishable from humans and are created to mostly perform hazardous tasks on off world colonies. The use of replicants on Earth however is banned, and any stray replicants who defy this are hunted down and 'retired' by specialist government agents known as Blade Runners. Hauer's Roy Batty is the leader of a renegade group of Nexus-6 replicants, who are faster, stronger and considerably more intelligent than the average human but are still learning to deal with slowly developing emotions. Ultimately returning to Earth to confront their creator Eldon Tyrell on a quest to extend their meagre 4 year lifespan.
Happy Birthday Roy…
Precinct1313's End Of The Year Geekstravaganza!
The space year of 2015 comes to a close, fellow agents of Precinct1313, and with its inevitable demise comes our 13 favourite moments from across the comic-book, movie and videogame spectrum.
No.13: The Dark Knight Returns!
After a 14 year hiatus, veteran comic book creator Frank Miller returned to his genre bending masterpiece Dark Knight saga with a third instalment, titled DKIII: The Master Race. This final (maybe) chapter takes place chronologically three years after 2001 mini-series "The Dark Knight Strikes Again," and continues to chronicle an ageing Caped Crusader and his allies in an increasingly violent and turbulent Gotham.
Thematically this series picks up from the 'Strikes Again', but this time Miller has brought along some fellow superstar creators for the intense and dark ride, as he is joined by, writer Brian Azzarello and artists, Andy Kubert, Jim Lee, and original collaborator Klaus Janson. Like its previous instalments, DKIII concentrates on the Batman as a symbol, an almost mythological character of inspiration and a catalyst for the weak and oppressed of Gotham.
No.12: Resident Evil Games Are… Good Again!!
2015 is the year that survival-horror veteran Resident Evil became great once more, as Capcom released not one, but two terrifyingly awesome instalments in the long running zombie franchise. After the awfulness of Resident Evil 6, even die-hard fans weren't necessarily looking forward to whatever would come next in the once predominant horror gaming series. The sixth game in the franchise took a downward spiral into bland third person action/shooter territory, leaving behind most of what made the earlier games so much fun to play, namely the tension, spookiness and survival aspects.
Then in early 2015, an HD remake of the original game digitally graced home consoles, with the same intense and creepy vibe of the original, but with much improved visuals, soundtrack and most definitely improved in the acting department (though Jill still, humorously remained – "The Master Of Unlocking" .) And less than a month later Resident Evil Revelations 2 was released episodically across all formats, initially digitally only, though later on disc. This 4 part series was a hark back to classic Resi , tense and horrific with much more limited supplies and the difficulty switched up a notch from the mediocrity that was Resi 6. Capcom redeemed themselves in my eyes after the Resi 6 debacle, and I look forward to their next game with bated breath, the much touted remake of most fans favourite in the series, Resident Evil 2… can't wait.
No.11: Starfire Goes Solo…
Everyone's favourite flame haired, orange skinned alien princess finally flies solo in her own, rather marvellous, monthly series. Tamaranean native Koriand'r most recently starred alongside one time Robin, Jason Todd now known as violent masked vigilante The Red Hood, and former Green Arrow sidekick Roy Harper, aka Arsenal, in the highly recommended series "Red Hood and the Outlaws." With the shake-up of DC recently with "DC You" Koriand'r was finally deemed a character strong enough to hold her own monthly series, and the creative reins were handed to the married, dynamic duo of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, to great effect.
The series has been a joy to read so far, we are huge fans of Starfire here in the Precinct and could think of no better team than Conner and Palmiotti to be given control of the series, but what has really drawn us into the series the most are the sublime visuals rendered by Emanuela Lupacchino, each panel is a masterpiece and the book is worth reading for just this alone. This has been standout my favourite comic series so far in 2015, and I'll just say it's been a great year of comics, which makes Kori's solo debut even more impressive.
No.10: Jared Leto Cast As The Joker…
Well dye my hair green, bleach my skin and call me "puddin" if this isn't just a superlative casting choice, Jared Leto as the Clown Prince Of Crime!?… oh hell yes! The term "Method Actor" could of been created for Mr Leto, as he is one of the most dedicated character actors you could ever come across, his casting in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie as the Joker, has me very excited indeed.
No.09: Mad Max – Fury Road…
Now then, I know that this is going to appear on a lot of end of the year lists, but if you had told me a year ago it would be on mine, I'd have thought you were the mad one himself! You see, as much as I like the director George Miller, and the acting duo of Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, not to mention, I adore the original Mad Max trilogy, what I don't like are lazy remakes of classic films from my youth, and for a long time that's what I thought this was, I was sooooo wrong.
The film is a marvel to behold, an almost perfect blend of real time practical effects, mixed with limited but extremely well implemented CGI. Tom Hardy gives a good performance as the antipodean crazy ex-cop, Charlize Theron is fantastic as Furiosa, but it really is the crazy action and fantastic directing style of George Miller that are the stars here. Shiny and Chrome indeed!
No.08: New X-Files Series Begins Filming…
I love the X-Files, I have been a super fan since it first began way back in 1993, my interest in the unknown and supernatural initially drew me into the show but it was the performances by the leads, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson and the increasingly emotional and complex relationship of their characters – Mulder and Scully that kept me coming back to the show time and time again.
Of course the writing was top notch, the episodes were always extremely well made and directed, but ultimately it was that relationship between the main players that drove the series to the cult and beyond status that it now has. Let's hope the magic is still there over 13 years later, when the much anticipated tenth season finally appears in January 2016.
No.07: Supergirl Soars Once More…
Kara Zor-El is awesome, one of the most iconic female Superheroes of all time, Superman's cousin has been with us now since her initial introduction in 1959, created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Originally hailing from Argo city, a fragment of the planet Krypton that had managed to survive destruction.
She is one of the few female comic book characters who has appeared on the big and small screen several times in the past few decades (only Catwoman has had more live action appearances.) Played by Helen Slater in the 1984 movie, by actress Laura Vandervoort in TV series Smallville (strangely enough, Laura was born the same year the original movie was released) And now as of 2015, we have a new girl of steel, Melissa Benoist has taken up the cape and red boots of the seminal character in what has become a fantastic and fun interpretation, another quality Superhero show that stands tall amongst its peers.
No.06: Margot Robbie Brings Harley Quinn To Life…
Mistress of Mayhem, Harley Quinn is one of those characters that everyone loves, but have always believed would be almost impossible to bring to live action successfully. There have been attempts, the short lived Birds Of Prey series had a version of the character played by Mia Sara, who, while okay in the role, didn't really capture Harley's perfect blend of crazy cool and sociopathic tendency.
Then we got a glimpse at actress Margot Robbie in the Suicide Squad trailers, everything about her portrayal seems to scream Harley, she looks perfect and I have high hopes for the character, she is definitely the most anticipated of all the Suicide Squad members so her portrayal will be of paramount importance to the film itself (along with her 'puddin', the Joker of course.)
No.05: Twin Peaks Season 3 Announced…
I'll admit, I am both elated and worried at the idea of Twin Peaks returning for a third series, I love Twin Peaks, it is without a shadow of a doubt my favourite TV show of all time, but the perfection of the originals will be very hard to recapture I believe. Though this is David Lynch we're talking about, a 'mad genius' of a director and film maker and I have adored virtually everything he has ever put out, so there is hope. Please be good… please!!
No.04: Convergence Was… Awesome!
DC Comics are the master of the epic crossover series, their "Crisis" stories have always been bombastic reads of monumental proportions. The more recent Blackest Night maxi-series was also phenomenal, but for me, it was this year's "Convergence" that really blew my veritable bat-socks off!
Convergence was a limited series that released weekly and ran between April and May. The story span out of two earlier mini-series – "New 52 – Futures End" and "Earth 2 – World's End." The storyline follows Braniac as he gathers Cities and their inhabitants from across different timelines and alternate Earths. Really there aren't enough superlatives to sum up this fantastic mini-series, all I'll say is buy it, read it, thank me later…
No.03: Suicide Squad Trailer…
DC Comics' ultimate team of anti-hero badasses finally achieve cinematic glory in 2016, courtesy of David Ayer (director of Sabotage and Fury) in what looks to be a gritty, violent adaptation of the comic book classic. Where this movie differs from all other Superhero films of recent years is the fact that it offers up a different perspective on the comic book adaptation, it focuses solely on the bad guys, the Supervillains and the crazies.
Director David Ayer is well known for his dark and gritty cop thrillers, and is the perfect choice for this live action version of the popular comic series. Peruse the trailer below and bask in the glory of seminal DC characters that include – Harley Quinn, Katana, Enchantress and Deadshot, and lest we forget, what may turn out to be the biggest draw of the film… Jared Leto's Joker.
No.02: Wonder Woman Solo Movie Begins Production…
It may of come to your attention that we quite like Wonder Woman here in the Precinct, so we are rather excited that her long awaited silver screen appearance has finally begun production, and in the UK no less. Gal Gadot will make her first appearance as the amazing Amazon in March 2016 "Batman v Superman" movie before her 2017 solo film. Seriously it is about bloody time that the most iconic female comic book character of all time got her own movie, and with director Patty Jenkins at the helm and actress Gal looking every bit the Amazon Princess, I for one, cannot wait.
No.01: Batman v Superman Trailers Finally Released…
Well this is it, with the trailers finally released, and the epic nature revealed, you just have to prepare yourself for two things. 1. What could be, quite possibly, The Greatest Superhero Movie Of All Time and… 2. The cinematic debut of the original, and still greatest female Superhero. With these two imperatives in mind watch the trailer below, and then weep for the fact that the biggest cinematic event in DC Comics… nay, in history, is still three months away…
Happy New Year everyone…
The Warriors Way: 2010 Movie Review
The Far East meets the Wild West head on in this thrilling mash up of Ninja/Samurai movies and Spaghetti Westerns (or an "Eastern" as I like to call it!)
When his conscience finally gets the better of the world's greatest swordsman/assassin, he abandons his warrior clan to begin a new life in the wild frontiers of America.
Cast: Jang Dong-Gun, Geoffrey Rush, Danny Huston, Kate Bosworth, Tony Cox, Ti Lung. Written and Directed by Sngmoo Lee.
Ninja versus Cowboys sounds like a terrible low budget premise for a film, but anyone familiar with the classic 1971 Charles Bronson, Toshiro Mifune feature "Red Sun" will already know that even a cheesy sounding prospect like this, can actually make for a damn good movie, and that's exactly what The Warrior's Way is… a damnably good movie.
Paying homage to spaghetti westerns, 80's ninja movies and especially the fantastic Lone Wolf and Cub series, Warrior's Way stars South Korean actor Jang Dong-Gun as Yang, elite assassin of the Sad Flute clan, and a warrior with eyes as empty as his soul. Training his entire life to become the greatest swordsman in the history of mankind, and with one deft and measured strike of his blade, he achieves this lifelong accolade in the opening sequence of the movie.
But when Yang is tasked to kill the last member of a rival clan of ninja, and it turns out to be an infant girl, he abandons his clan and with the child in his care, leaves Japan and heads for the wild frontier town known as Lode to find an old friend. Settling into the town, Yang finally finds a measure of humanity and peace away from his former life of death and violence. With the child under his protection and his former clan far across the sea, Yang opens a laundry, grows flowers in an otherwise scorched and dead land, and increasingly finds himself attracted to Lynne (Kate Bosworth) a strong willed redhead with a tragic past.
But his peace is soon shattered when Colonel (Danny Huston) and his posse of marauders arrive en-masse to terrorise the town, and just when it looks like things couldn't get any worse, Yang's ninja clan arrive to the party with one thought in mind, kill everyone and regain their clan's honour against the one they see as a traitor to their code.
Warrior's Way marks Sngmoo Lee's directorial debut, and it's an auspicious one. Also solely credited for the script, Lee shows real talent for stylish action and real visual flare. Stylistically similar to Zack Snyder's "300" with its combination of physical sets and computer generated backdrops, that explode with gorgeous hues of red and orange and give the film an almost comic-book look.
The film's soundtrack by Javier Navarette is fantastic, a contemporary and elegant mix of Morricone style spaghetti westerns with an Eastern flourish. Increasing in tempo beautifully with the action sequences and really immersing you into the violent onscreen encounters.
With a fantastic supporting cast that includes Danny Huston as the evil Colonel. American actor, Huston is an expert in playing malevolent and villainous characters (witness his turn as head vampire in the fantastic "28 Days of Night") The brilliant Australian actor Geoffrey Rush puts in yet another sterling performance as Ronald, one time expert gunslinger but now a broken down drunk, who secretly yearns for the glories of his past and a lost love.
Kate Bosworth plays feisty Lynne, orphaned and left for dead as a teenager by Colonel, and seeking revenge for her family's untimely demise, pulled towards Yang initially to learn his martial techniques, she finds herself increasingly attracted to him romantically as the story plays out. And special mention must go to American actor Tony Cox who plays 8-Ball, the film's comedic role, and is highly entertaining in this capacity with great comic timing.
The film's action sequences are wonderfully choreographed and exhilarating, exhibiting an almost perfect blend of "Crouching Tiger Hidden-Dragon" and "The Matrix."
The movie marks the perfect synthesis of Sergio Leone style spaghetti western and stylish Samurai movies, visually and aurally enthralling with a wonderful cast that are clearly enjoying their roles. If you have any love of action cinema, martial arts or spaghetti westerns, then The Warrior's Way comes highly recommended.

In my opinion, every summer deserves at least one wrap dress. Here's this summer's version. It's a simple yet gorgeous green number. It was very easy to sew up and I'm pleased with my new closet addition.
I used the V9251 pattern to achieve this look. I didn't really have any issues with project. Below is the review of the pattern.
Vogue 9251
Pattern Description: Wrap fitted dress with side ties, sleeve, and length variations.
Pattern Sizing: Misses Size 12. View A.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes exactly like it.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The neckline is a little too low. As you can see in the photo's I had to wear a tank top underneath.
Fabric Used: Polyester
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made this dress about 6 inches shorter and it still was a little longer than I'd prefer.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I would but I'll need to figure out how to raise the neckline without messing up the fit of the bodice
Conclusion: Overall, it's a great pattern. Very easy to sew up and a great addition to your closet. Watch out for the neckline though.
I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I'm pleased with the dress.

Lawmakers react to Gov. Tony Evers State of the State speech
Governor Tony Evers hit on many topics with a priority of fixing the economy during his State of State address on Tuesday.
But there was mixed reaction from each side of the aisle.
Republican state lawmakers said there are areas of agreement, but very few.
"The positive things, we agree on the middle income tax cut," said State Rep. Mike Rohrkaste, (R-Neenah), "Very strong disagreement on how to pay for that. Gov. wants to increase taxes on manufacturing and farmers, we don't want to do that. "
Democratic lawmakers say there's room for compromise.
"I can appreciate the fact that its middle class tax cut and that he's paying for it, anybody can cut taxes but if you're not willing to pay for it, you'll cut it from somewhere else," explained State Rep. Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh.
"I think its important for the residents of Green Bay to make sure it happens and we're gonna have to work on those fine detail to make it work," said State Rep. Staush Gruszynski, D-Green Bay.
Governor Evers addressed expanding medicaid and covering people with pre-existing conditions.
Lawmakers said its one of the issues both sides agree on.
"There are areas where we can come together, covering people with pre-existing conditions is one of those areas, we got a bill in the legislature now, if we focus on those areas it'll be a very productive session," said State Sen. Roger Roth, R-Appleton.
Increasing education funding was also a positive for many Republicans, but there are concerns.
"There's a huge amount of spending increase in different areas, so we're going to have to figure how to pay for that," said Rep. Rohkraste.

Jeanne O.
Tom Taylor Family YMCA
Jeanne's body had been through the ringer by the time she joined the Y. First diagnosed with Fibromyalgia back in 1997, the next few years plodded by in one big painful blur. Already in chronic pain for which there is no known cure, Jeanne underwent joint replacement surgery on both shoulders and a hip, and if that weren't enough, she also endured spinal surgery to relieve her spinal stenosis. The combination of events would translate to most people as a perfect recipe for despair or helplessness.
But Jeanne was brave enough to take a hard look at reality and innately knew that if something didn't change, her pain would only intensify. So, supported by a walker, her daughter, and a personal trainer, Jeanne decided to begin low impact exercises in the water to help her feel better and maintain the health she did have. Feeling the freedom of movement in the water, she noticed her pain reduced.
"The people in the class are so friendly and we always meet at the coffee shop after class," she says. "Even if I can't do everything, attempting the challenging workouts makes me feel powerful."

Is It Essential to Hire a Property Management Company?
The decision to invest in a rental property is a good one these days and yes, there is a lot of money in it. However, if you look at yourself as someone who does not have enough knowledge and experience in this industry, perhaps the best thing to do to protect your investment is to hire a property management company.
One big advantage of having a property manager assist you is that you have that guarantee that the would-be tenants in your property are properly screened before they're accepted. Because of a thorough screening process, you expect to have high quality tenants who won't give you headaches and problems later on.
Let's just say you intend to manage your own property, which means you're also screening the would-be tenants; in this case, you won't have the knowledge and experience in figuring out if those people are going to pay on time or will take care of your property they're renting.
5 Uses For Services
Because an experienced and highly competent property management company has checked and evaluated literally thousands of different applications from candidates hoping to become tenants, you as an owner of the commercial or rental property will be confident that they can easily pinpoint the warning signs of a bad tenant. To put in other words, a property manager has the skill to dig deeper on the background of the tenant that's not seen on paper.
A Beginners Guide To Experts
Moreover, the decision to hire a property manager will help you prevent legal issues stemming out of misunderstandings with tenants. As an owner of a rental property, it is important that you acknowledge the possibility of having unprofessional and unethical tenants, who in one way or another would go the extra mile to give you financial and legal headaches. Hence, be sure you hire an experienced property management company who knows more than a thing or two about landlord-tenant laws so that they can protect you from all those legal troubles.
Other than tenant concerns in your commercial property, a property management company also will be responsible for maintenance and upkeep. This usually includes offering suggestions on how to improve the building or structure for the purpose of maximizing profit.
Finally, hiring a property manager means you also have someone who may likewise be an expert in marketing your property to potential tenants. In fact, management companies with utmost competency are more than capable of creating advertisements for the properties they are paid to manage. Since you expect them to be very familiar with the concept of sales and the real estate industry, it only means they are best at guaranteeing that your investment will translate into profits.
Yes, you're paying them money to manage your property, but that amount will be a speck of dust compared to how much you're potentially going to earn with them by your side.

Testing novel apolipoprotein A-I mimetic peptides as a treatment of atherosclerosis
2017-02-06T05:50:53Z (GMT) by
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease that stems from the accumulation of cholesterol in the artery wall. In the initial stages of atherosclerosis, low density lipoproteins (LDL) from the plasma enter and accumulate within the arterial wall and become modified via oxidation. This stimulates the recruitment of inflammatory cells and highlights the early stage of atherosclerosis. High density lipoprotein (HDL) has been shown to be highly atheroprotective by promoting the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (RCT). HDL facilitates the removal of cholesterol from peripheral cells to the liver and biliary excretion. It also has the capacity to inhibit the oxidative modification of LDL, downregulate the expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells, and elicit anti-apoptotic and anti-thrombotic properties. These pleiotropic effects of HDL are attributed to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I). Epidemiological studies have documented the strong association between low HDL levels and cardiovascular risk. Current therapeutic strategies, such as statins, are only able to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 30–40%. Even with this treatment, cardiovascular risk is still unacceptably high. Several studies have focused on reducing the levels of pro-atherogenic lipoproteins while increasing the levels of anti-atherogenic lipoproteins HDL, "HDL therapy". ApoA-I mimetic peptides are a promising type of therapy as they share no sequence homology with apoA-I and can be manipulated to mimic the secondary structure of apoA-I. They can therefore support cholesterol efflux, enhance the anti-inflammatory properties of HDL and reduce the development of atherosclerosis in animal models. This thesis will investigate the optimal structural requirements for the peptides to elicit cholesterol efflux. Two peptides were used as prototypes: 5A and ELK. 5A is a bihelical peptide with two type A amphipathic α-helices connected via a proline residue. The hydrophobicity of the second helix was reduced with the substitution of alanine residues. Four derivatives of 5A were synthesized to test the impact of introducing antioxidant residues (cysteine and histidine) into the 5A prototype. ELK was synthesized using three amino acids: glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. This peptide is bihelical and has two identical Type A amphipathic α-helices with 180° hydrophobic face and neutral charge. The ELK prototype was used to make 16 modifications testing the impact of net charge, size of hydrophobic face, type of helix, proline bridge and asymmetry. The cholesterol efflux efficiency was tested in THP-1 monocytic cells and ATP binding cassette A1 (ABCA1)-dependent efflux specificity was tested in BHK/ABCA1 cells. The findings from this study established the structural features required to construct the "ideal" peptide. This peptide requires a neutral charge, optimal hydrophobicity, large hydrophobic face, two helices connected by a proline residue and it may have antioxidant residues in the second helix, to support cholesterol efflux. The significance of this study was to design apoA-I mimetic peptides for HDL therapy. HDL can inhibit the oxidative modification of LDL and in this study, apoA-I mimetic peptides were utilized to determine what structural features are required for anti-oxidant capacity. LDL oxidation was induced using copper, and the ability of apoA-I mimetic peptides to reduce the rate of oxidation was assessed. A peptide with strong anti-oxidant properties should possess the following structural features: presence of cysteine and/or histidine residues and the type of helix can be type G or type Y. The significance of this finding was to design an apoA-I mimetic with a strong anti-oxidant capacity. HDL can dampen the inflammatory response and therefore slow down the progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the optimal features required by apoA-I mimetic peptides to reduce CD11b expression on activated monocytes, as well as VCAM-1 expression on endothelial cells. The findings from this study suggested that different structural features are responsible for anti-inflammatory effects. The optimal structural features for CD11b inhibition in monocytes are an asymmetrical peptide with a type A helix, a hydrophobic face with <180° and a neutral or negative charge. In comparison, VCAM inhibition requires the following structural features: larger hydrophobic face, positive or neutral charge, and the resulting peptide can contain a cysteine residue. The differential effects on systemic and local anti-inflammatory functions were investigated using apoA-I mimetic peptides but provides an insight into the anti-inflammatory properties of HDL. ApoA-I elicits a plethora of anti-atherogenic functions, and this study attempted to create a single "super-peptide" which was strong in cholesterol efflux and anti-oxidant capacity. A mixture of the two most active peptides (ELK-2A2K2E and 5A-C1) was created and tested for its ability to surpass the anti-oxidant and efflux capacity of apoA-I. The mixture of these two peptides also surpassed the most active peptides in the model of local and systemic inflammation. The most active peptide in cholesterol efflux was tested in an animal model of atherosclerosis. This ELK-2A2K2E peptide had a significant affect on the reduction of circulating pro-atherogenic lipoproteins, which was reflected in reduced inflammatory markers and macrophage infiltration in plaque lesions. Based on the findings from these studies, apoA-I mimetic peptides could potentially be useful in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular–related diseases.

DANIEL RADCLIFFE most recently stars in TBS's comedy series Miracle Workers in which he plays low-level angel Craig opposite Steve Buscemi's disillusioned and feckless God. The series written by Simon Rich is based on his book 'What In God's Name: A Novel'. Radcliffe executive produces along side Rich, Lorne Michaels, Buscemi and Andrew Singer.
He has also just completed filming the true-life prison break drama Escape from Pretoria playing the role of Tim Jenkins. Shot on location in Australia, the film is based on Jenkin's autobiography 'Inside Out: Escape from Pretoria Prison'.
Last year Radcliffe shot the comedic action film Guns Akimbo filmed both in New Zealand and Germany, and ended the year starring on Broadway in the acclaimed original play 'Lifespan of a Fact'. In 2018 Radcliffe starred in the survivalist film Jungle, the true-life story of Yossi Ghinsberg who was stranded alone in the Amazon jungle, as well as Beast of Burden playing a drug runner with only an hour to deliver his illegal cargo.
Radcliffe has also starred opposite Michael Caine in Now You See Me 2, and opposite Paul Dano in A24's indie hit Swiss Army Man, as well as in Imperium, a thriller inspired by real events about white supremacists in America. He also won rave reviews for his performance as Rosencrantz, opposite Josh McGuire's Guildenstern, in Tom Stoppard's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead' at The Old Vic, London. And in 2016, he completed a sell out run of 'Privacy', a timely play at NYC's The Public Theatre about the digital age and technology.
Prior to this, Radcliffe starred opposite James McAvoy in the feature film Victor Frankenstein and in the BBC telefilm The Gamechangers. In 2014 he starred in the horror-thriller Horns and the romantic comedy What If and in the previous year Sony Pictures Classics' Kill Your Darlings. On stage, he starred as Billy in 'The Cripple of Inishmaan', Martin McDonagh's comic masterpiece. The play made its way to Broadway from London's West End, where it debuted the summer of 2013.
Since completing the final instalment in the series of eight Harry Potter films in 2010, Radcliffe quickly proved himself a diverse talent. In 2011, he starred in a 10-month sell-out run of the Broadway musical 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying'. The following year Radcliffe starred in the horror/thriller The Woman in Black. He also starred opposite Jon Hamm in two seasons of the TV mini-series, A Young Doctor's Notebook, a comedy drama based on a collection of short stories by celebrated Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov.
Radcliffe first appeared on stage in 2007 as Alan Strang, playing opposite Richard Griffiths, in Peter Shaffer's 'Equus'. Directed by Thea Sharrock, the play then transferred from London's West End to Broadway in 2008.
A lifelong fan of The Simpsons, Radcliffe has lent his voice to the show three times. First, to the character of a brooding vampire named Edmund for the show's "Treehouse of Horror XXI" special entitled "Tweenlight," which aired November 2010. He then voiced the character Diggs, a new transfer student whom Bart befriends. Previously, Radcliffe made a guest appearance as himself in the HBO/BBC series Extras. He has also lent his voice to Robot Chicken and Bo Jack Horseman.

The 2015 Glasgow Film Festival kicks in to action today, and what a treat it promises to be. For the next fortnight with films, gigs and events from Bergman to Burroughs, Casablanca to cat videos, The Tales of Hoffmann to Talking Heads, and (almost) everything in between.Read More
Glasgow Cathedral
Freitags #7
Time's a funny thing isn't it? it seems like hardly any time at all since the last brace of Freitags, and here we are again. It certainly doesn't seem like six years since the last album from (Aidan Moffat's pseudonymous electronica project) L. Pierre was released (Dip), but it's most cheering to see that the follow upThe Island Come True will be released on Monday through Melodic. The Quietus has a glut of articles related to its release, including an interview with the bearded bard, a stream of the album and an outstanding piece of writing from editor John Doran.
Stills and the CCA are co-hosting ECONOMY, a group exhibition focusing on the impact of global capitalist on our daily life. We are particularly interested in Stills' Film Lounge programme, showcasing work by Michael Glawogger (Austria), Francesco Jodice (Italy) and Maria Ruido (Spain).
Speaking of film, we are very excited about The Glasgow Film Festival. The festival only started in 2005 and had been growing steadily ever since. The full programme was announced yesterday - we have a staggering 368 events, 57 UK premieres and 6 world premieres to keep us entertained this February. The highlight for us could be Souvenirs of Serge, a documentary charting the relationship between Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg. The film will be followed by a performance from Jane, who will be interpreting a few classics penned by the Gallic genius/provocateur. We are also attending a screening of Carl Dreyer's stark and extremely powerful The Passion of Joan of Arc. A classic that deserves to be seen in a good cinema, and that cinema happens to be Glasgow Cathedral, a rather perfect setting. The GFF opens on 14th February with French comedy Populaire: we will be keeping an eye on it on a daily basis and report anything we find of interest. Watch this space.
Last year's Counterflows was a multi-venue event dedicated to underground music and art that occurred in Berlin, London and Glasgow simultaneously. The 2013 line-up for the Glasgow edition has just been announced for April and it's looking pretty special already. Particularly noteworthy are appearances by Peter Brötzmann and Loren Connors, but the most exciting announcement may well be that the ever-enigmatic Jandek will be playing with the superlative Richard Youngs and Alex Neilson at Stereo (Youngs and Neilson having backed Jandek at his first ever gig in 2004). See you down the front.

REVIEW: Pure Suds Rose Gold SoapFriday, November 18, 2016
|Pure Suds Rose Gold Soap
Handmade soaps, precisely the ones made using the cold processed method are my weakness and I have hoarded soaps that are going to easily last me a year as we speak. I purchased this beautiful looking soap called Rose Gold from the house of Pure Suds some time ago and today I will be sharing my experience!
About The Brand:
Pure Suds Skin Treats brings to you a world of luxurious handcrafted soaps minimizing the use of harsh chemicals on a daily basis.
Ingredients: (please refer to picture below)
My Experience:
Pure Suds Rose Gold Soap is one of the most beautiful looking soap I have ever seen in my life! I mean just look at it, isn't so beautiful that it hurt to use it, like seriously. The soap has beautiful shades of pink, light mustard and cream with gold mica sprinkled on top to give a luxurious look. The soap comes in a cardboard box with labels bearing product name, ingredients, price, shelf life etc.
Rose Gold Soap smells like roses with a hint of smoky patchouli and cardamom. I love the earthy feel that the soap exudes. The delicate aroma envelopes one (re: body) completely before disappearing gradually and it makes the bathroom smell gooooood too.
|Pure Suds Rose Gold Soap
Made using kokum, shea, mango butters and nourishing oils like coconut and olive, the bar produces decent lather it cleanses the skin really well without stripping the skin off it's natural oils, thus, making the soap suitable for all skin types. The bar has scrubbing particles (which I assume are poppy seeds) suspended in two of it's layers which is visible in the picture, that provides mild exfoliating action. Which ensures not only clean skin but also exfoliated skin. Thankfully, the bar does not melt like crazy but make sure it's kept in a well drained dish allowing the bar to dry between uses.
This luxurious looking and beautiful smelling soap could be a perfect gifting option too!
General Tips for Storage & Use:
- Cut the full sized soap bars into to pieces to make it handier for use, and last longer.
- To keep the soaps dry between uses, keep them in water draining soap dish with slots or holes.
- Smells a-h-m-a-z-i-n-g.
- The most beautiful soap I've laid my eyes on.
- Great packaging.
- Feels truly luxurious.
- Love the earthy feel it exudes.
- Cleanses the skin really well and exfoliates too.
- Natural, handmade and cruelty-free.
- Contains skin loving ingredients like kokum butter, mango butter, olive oil etc.
- Reasonably priced for a handmade soap.
- Availability - Not a con for me though as I don't mind buying online.
Price and Availability:
The soap is priced at INR 250 for 90 gm bar. It is not available currently because Mrs. Doshi is on a maternity break and will reopen her Facebook store soon. Meanwhile, you may ogle at these beauties HERE.
Will I recommend:
Yes! Why wouldn't I?
Have you tried this soap too? If so, then what was the experience like, did you like it?
Until next time,
Disclosure: The product featured in this post is my own purchase and the views expressed hereby are strictly unbiased, based on my personal experience.

It's true. The architecture of the city lends itself fully to the hard-line, concrete-crazed aesthetics urban photographers pine for. However, it's not all residential basketball courts and contemporary views in HK. Oh, not at all. Hong Kong offers something for everyone to visually feast on.Read More
There is heaps of food finds in Hong Kong. This list could have been seemingly endless. I've put together a list of 5 foods every first-time visitor to Hong Kong should try. I have also listed the exact establishments where I tried each of these, so that you can either find somewhere better or give it a go in the same place I did!Read More

Lisa must move in with her father-in-law after the death of her husband. Struggling to find work, Lisa takes a job caring for Justine (Daisy Prescott), a young but opinionated girl with spina bifida. An unlikely pair, they become friends and help each other in many ways, but their relationship is challenged when Justine's well-to-do parents object to Justine playing with Lisa's biracial children." - EIFF 2019

After two underwhelming domestic trailers for the last of the Fox "X-Men" films, "Dark Phoenix" had a bit of a resurgence in buzz thanks to a much more impressive international trailer.
Well the 20th Century Fox domestic marketing department seems to have taken notes and have unveiled one more, dubbed the 'final trailer', which offers the most extensive look yet at the film and spells out many of the story beats.
The fourth film of the 'First Class' era, the story will adapt the seminal Marvel Comics storyline 'The Dark Phoenix Saga' in which Jean Grey is taken over by a dark cosmic entity that will tear her apart. In the process, the X-Men try to stop her from destroying the universe.
Set in 1992, the X-Men have become national heroes and Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) starts sending his X-Men on increasingly dangerous missions until a space-bound rescue sees a solar flare strike the X-Jet, awakening a long-dormant power in Jean Grey (Sophie Turner).
Michael Fassbender, Jessica Chastain, Tye Sheridan, Nicholas Hoult, Alexandra Shipp, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Evan Peters co-star in the film which opens June 7th.
