Hell Comes to Frogtown (UK - DVD R2 | BD RB)
Chris takes a look at this limited edition release DVD/Blu-ray from Arrow Video...
With the 20th Century drawing to a close, nuclear war has wiped out civilization as we know it. The embattled human race's last remaining hope lies with one man and his loaded weapon.
Sam Hell may be an ex-con, but he also happens to be one of the last surviving fertile men on the planet. Now, under the custody of a group of feisty female fighters, Sam finds himself enlisted on a mission to impregnate a harem of beauties. Sounds cushy enough, but the ladies in question are prisoners of Frogtown – home to a gang of mutant (and ill-mannered) amphibians!
Starring wrestler-turned-actor Rowdy Roddy Piper, known to John Carpenter enthusiasts for his body-slamming and bubblegum-chewing antics in They Live, Hell Comes to Frogtown is unashamedly a B-movie through and through with more guns and girls than you can shake a frog's leg at. (Taken from Arrow's synopsis.)
As one of Arrow's dual format releases, Hell Comes to Frogtown includes both DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film in the pack. The film is also limited to just one thousand copies, which reflects anticipated demand. This review will focus mainly on the Blu-ray version, but I'll comment on the DVD where appropriate.
The accompanying booklet states that Lakeshore Entertainment, not Arrow, was responsible for this transfer of Hell Comes to Frogtown. Traditionally Arrow's in-house transfers have been better than their licensed ones, and truth be told this is no different. However, while it's certainly not a patch on the best looking titles released by the label over the past year or so, one has to look at these things in context. It's a minor miracle that the film even has a high-definition release, never mind one that pushes for top honours, so temper your expectations accordingly.
My only previous exposure to the film came in the form of movie posters in my local rental stores when I was a kid and an abortive viewing on Netflix. Why abortive? Well, the quality was so bad I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. Thankfully this release is a major step up in the picture stakes in both standard and high-definition formats. Even so, the 1.78:1 (1080/24p AVC) image has its share of problems, with numerous unsightly film artefacts evident throughout and some problematic noise, particularly in the darker areas of the screen. I also noticed some motion trails/smearing at various intervals, which are in the master rather than being a by-product of my display technology (I've checked). However, when at its best the image is actually quite pleasing, with some surprising detail and strong, natural colour rendition. Scenes that exhibit overt softness do so because of problems inherent to the original photography, rather than any transfer deficiencies. The encode itself looks to be very solid, with no obvious compression issues (even in scenes with lots of smoke etc.) or digital nastiness. I have a feeling that the anomalies I mentioned earlier are baked into whatever master Arrow was given to work with, and the end result is better than I expected. Of course when scoring I had to weigh the quality against the label's other releases and the Blu-ray market as a whole, hence the rather average mark, but fans should be over the moon.
The accompanying DVD looks surprisingly good for a standard-definition release, giving the Blu-ray a fair run for its money, but ultimate it lacks the fine detail and colour accuracy of the latter presentation.
The Blu-ray includes a solitary audio option in the form of LPCM 2.0 Stereo. There's really not too much to say here, as the track is exactly what you'd expect given the age and budget of the source material. Immersion is limited by its very nature, but at least everything is clear and free from distortion. I did have to crank things up a little louder than usual for an LPCM track, but thankfully there are no problems with relative levels between effects, music and dialogue, the latter of which is always intelligible. As you might expect, dynamic range is somewhat limited, but that doesn't come as any great surprise. It's a perfectly serviceable effort that does justice to the film's limited sound design and probably represents a fair approximation of the original aural experience.
The DVD version of the film includes a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo option. Neither version includes subtitles, apparently for financial reasons.
Although not as comprehensive as many of their other releases, Arrow has still managed to assemble a fair collection of bonus material for Hell Comes to Frogtown. The commentary track from the US disc isn't included, but we do get a number of new interviews with cast and crew, including star Roddy Piper. While there's actually less than an hour of material included the fact that any extras are included has to be seen as a bonus for this sort of release.
- Grappling with Green Gargantuans: A twenty-two minute featurette in which Rowdy Roddy Piper reminisces about his involvement with the film in his own inimitable style.
- Creature Feature Creator: Effects artist Steve Wang talks to us about his weird and wonderful amphibian creations.
- Amphibian Armageddon: Actor Brian Frank remembers his role as the mutant leader, Commander Toty.
- Extended Scene: A sub-VHS quality, 4:3 ratio presentation of a slightly extended take.
- Original Trailer
- Reversible sleeve with original and newly commissioned artwork by Jeff Zornow: As is usual with Arrow releases, you have a choice between new and original theatrical artwork.
- Collector's booklet featuring new writing on the film by author and critic Calum Waddell: Arrow's customary booklet provides greater insight into the film.
- DVD Copy: I'm not sure if this is really an extra, but it undoubtedly adds value to the overall package.
Hell Comes to Frogtown is a fantastic title for a film, but unfortunately in this case the title is the stand-out element. I enjoy a 'so bad it's good' film as much as the next guy, but Frogtown didn't really float my boat. Roddy Piper is likeable enough, if not quite as accomplished as in later work such as They Live, while the supporting cast of beauties make for decent enough eye-candy. I even got a kick out the frog make-up, which is surprisingly advanced given the film's meagre SFX budget. However, there's no getting around the fact that it's badly acted, hokey and, well, a little bit sinister. When you think about it, Piper's character is a government employee tasked with sexually assaulting the helpless female survivors of the nuclear apocalypse. There's a particularly uncomfortable scene in which a hysterical girl is drugged so that she'll be easier to 'mate with', which is a little date-rapey for my liking (that she is later shown to have enjoyed the encounter is even more dubious).
My feelings towards the film aside, the disc is almost sure to be a fan-pleaser. Arrow obviously realises that this isn't going to appeal to a terribly wide audience, what with the limited pressing and all, so they have sensibly concentrated on the things that matter. I sincerely doubt that Frogtown fans will have ever seen the film looking or sounding as good as it does here, and while the extras aren't comprehensive by any stretch of the imagination, there's still more content than graces some major studio releases... I'm not sure I'd recommend this as a blind-buy, but if you're a fan it's probably a good idea to pick up a copy before they sell out.
Note: The images below are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

How to Apply
The Rev. Lawrence (Larry) Garcia
Pastor, Hill Country Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Spring Branch, TX
Masters of Divinity, class of 2012
Previous occupations: surgical technician, athletic trainer, 18-wheel truck driver, personnel manager, and then 30 years as an attorney board certified in family law.
Pastoral experience before coming to Phillips: 11 years as a licensed and commissioned Disciples of Christ minister serving long-term interims and then as senior minister while still practicing law.
What advice would you give to a prospective seminary student returning to school after being out for many years?
Get ready by reading. I read lots of historical novels. It doesn't need to be theological. The technology gave me more problems than the theology since in the secular world, "I have people to do that."
Five words that describe the Phillips community as you experienced it.
Scared. Included. Nurtured. Loved. Challenged.
What is the change or transformation in the world you want to see?
I want the church to be rediscovered as a source of comfort, empowerment and service to others.
How did you change as during your years at Phillips?
Phillips put a mix-master in my brain and churned up all of my theological thoughts. It somehow made God more theoretical, but more personal at the same time. It helped turn Biblical inconsistencies into spiritual mysteries.
Talk about a time you felt challenged.
I felt challenged at every turn, especially when professors pointed out inconsistencies and impossibilities. Most support came from fellow students, but I can't discount the ever-present support and accessibility of faculty.
The importance of financial aid.
I could not have afforded the Phillips experience without the financial aid available. Travel and lodging were a big expense, and I hope there will be more options in this regard in the future.
Talk about your experience of online courses.
I honestly believe the online experience was more personal and interactive than a classroom setting. While I preferred Blackboard to Moodle, I found there were quick responses to questions and concerns, and students were much more free in expressing beliefs and doubts.
Tell us about being a student and a pastor at the same time.
Initially, while my church was supportive, they did not appreciate my sermons becoming historical, theological and theoretical. I am only now returning to storytelling, but I still sneak in history, theology and theories.
Tell us about the relationships and friendships you made at Phillips.
I now have an instant resource of support, insight and advice virtually all across the country. I feel I can call on many in times of joy or trouble.
If you had one sentence to convince someone to choose Phillips, what would you say?
When you watch a joyful movie, but get a tear in your eye because it reminds you of good and happy things in your own life; that was and continues to be Phillips for me.

Author Notes: My husband, Tad, and I are always working on a pasta dish. There is no beginning and there is no end. It's a once-a-week dinner that we've been making for years, and each time we tweak it, depending on what's in season, what's in the fridge, what's going on in our work-addled heads. It usually begins with bacon or pancetta. When Tad's at the helm, canned tomatoes will likely find their way into the pan, and if it's my turn, a pinch of crushed chiles. We've drifted from penne to rigatone to orecchiette to shells. We like shapes that our kids can easily spear with a fork. Sometimes eggs get tossed in for a little carbonara effect. And, occasionally, Tad will slip in goat cheese in his mother's honor (she made an excellent pasta with asparagus and goat cheese). There's never a recipe because we never stop the music, we never let the ingredients race to their seats to get counted.
But this week, I thought it was time to put the pasta on record. We'd hit on a new summer variation that was pretty nifty. We've gotten into adding grated summer squash, which nestles into orechiette's little cups. Mixing fresh squash into hot pasta is an excellent way to produce soggy pasta; we cut it off at the pass by first salting the grated squash to draw out its water, and squeezing out the gratings before adding them to the steaming pasta. The base is bacon, of course, with a pinch of red pepper flakes and a smashed garlic clove. And to underline the sweetness and freshness of the dish, we fold in some fresh-scraped corn and chopped basil. The dish is part vegetable, part pasta -- buoyant, bright, and just what we crave on a steamy summer evening. —Amanda Hesser
Serves: 4
slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces
garlic clove, peeled and smashed
Pinch red pepper flakes
3 medium yellow zucchini, ends trimmed
1 pound orecchiette or small shells
2 ears corn, kernels cut from the cobs, juices and all
2 tablespoons roughly chopped or torn basil
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, if needed
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, spread the bacon in a large saute pan, add the garlic clove, and set over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it's crisp and its fat has rendered. As you remove the bacon from the heat, stir in the red pepper flakes.
- Grate the summer squash on a box grater. Gather the gratings in a bowl and salt the squash -- I add about 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt. Toss to mix. Let sit for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes.
- When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta but don't shake it; you want a little pasta water to help create a sauce. Pour it back in the pot.
- Take fistfuls of the squash and squeeze it as firmly as possible to extract any liquid. Add the pressed squash to the pasta. Continue until all the grated squash has been squeezed. Then scrape the corn into the pot, and use a slotted spoon to add the bacon (if there's less than 2 tablespoons fat in the pan, I add the bacon and fat to the pasta); discard the garlic clove. Toss the pasta. Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt if needed. Also pepper and the basil. Toss again. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of olive oil at this point. Spoon into shallow bowls and top with grated, cheese, but not too much. (And pour yourself a glass of sparkling Gruner Veltliner.)

Corcovado National ParkCorcovado National Park, Costa Rica.
Corcovado National Park
© WWF / James W. THORSELL
The most biologically intense place on Earth
What and where
The Corcovado National Park is on the Osa Peninsula in the south west of Costa Rica, and forms part of the Osa Conservation Area. It was established in 1975, and encompasses an area of 425km².
Corcovado National Park encompasses the only remaining old growth wet forest on the Pacific coast of Central America. It contains 13 major ecosystems including lowland rainforests, highland cloud forests, jolillo palm forests, and mangrove swamps, as well as coastal marine and beach habitats.
This wilderness is considered an excellent life laboratory, allowing study of the structure and function of tropical ecosystems and the fine balances on which they depend.
The very humid forests of Corcovado are some of the last places that still maintain ecosystems of the very humid tropical forests in the American pacific, with annual precipitation over 5,000mm.
There are about 500 species of trees in the park, representing a quarter of all the tree species in Costa Rica. It also protects the largest population of Scarlet Macaws in the country, and is home to at least 375 other species of birds, 140 mammals, 116 amphibians and reptiles, 40 types of freshwater fish, and 6,000-10,000 different kinds of insects - including 220 species of butterflies!
National Geographic has described it as "the most biologically intense place on Earth".

This past weekend's CTF event hosted at the Sherbrooke University, and organized by the crew of HackUS.org was a complete success in my opinion. From the warm (and unexpected) welcome, right down to the ambiance and food provided. This being my first ever participation in this type of event, must say I wasn't disappointed at all.
The battle ground HackUS provided us was exceptionally well made. All teams had lots of room to set up shop; we had meals provided for us during the whole event. Alcoholic beverages were available. As a whole, these guys organized one hell of a party. We had the standard CTF event, a Web CTF, some trivia/crypto puzzles to solve and web level-ups. Some reverse engineering, a botnet to analyze and in the end even a game of open-arena… It had everything for everyone. No complaints; nothing more was needed.
As for our performance, well didn't fare to well compare to the other teams. 10 teams participated, and we finished 9th overall. Still not bad for 2 guys looking to score at least 1 point… We got 60 in the end. I even got a bonus gift… An 85$ ticket for smoking near a public building.
Day 1:
We arrive at the hotel in Sherbrooke at around 15h00. After the 2 hour drive a well deserved shower is taken.
Then I decide to warm up for the upcoming activities.
All started with registration and the warm welcome (which gave me performance anxiety) from the HackUS crew. We were led to our table and then started to plug-in our gear. Seeing this was our first time at such an event we may have brought too much gear.
We're given instructions on how things work, and we're let loose on the network…
I of course, get another beer.
Day 2:
After 4 hours sleep, I drag my skinny a** out of bed and head back to face the war zone once more. After taking a wrong turn on the highway, I eventually got to Sherbrooke University campus. Got a few points talked to some great people and more beer.
Day 3:
This one was rough. After two days away from home, I was starting to miss my own bed and pillow. We got a few more points in, but by this time we were out of ideas and stuck in 9th place.
Around 15h00 that afternoon, it was the end. Prizes were given out, pictures were taken and hands were shaken. All of this with the presence of beer.
So as whole, this weekend was great. We now know what such an event looks and feels like. We'll be better prepared for next year's HackUS CTF.
Good job guys. You guys should be proud.

Hola mi amigas! Hope you all had a great weekend! I was busy looking at a few venues with my grandparents this weekend (since my parents are in WA.), it was fun hanging out with them since my grandparents are just too cute. Anyway, I recently bought Geo Tri Colored Contact lenses in Brown from dbeautyshop.com, and thought id do a quick video and a post on them so you can see how they look.
They are pretty comfortable to wear, they recommend that you do not wear it longer than 8 hours, so just keep that in mind. These particular colored contacts were $19.90 on their website and shipping was relatively fast (ships from Malaysia I believe), and their shipping was only $5. I ordered it October 22, and received it a few days after Halloween, so not too shabby. Each lens was in a tightly sealed glass vial and came with a contact lens case. I got them with 0.00 power (no power), and they come in a variety of other colors such as grey, violet, blue, and green.
I also did a quick video wearing them just so you can kinda get a feel of how they look like in person, although I have a ton of bright lights in my room so it may look lighter in the video, but they look very natural in person, as you can see from the pic below where I have one contact in and the other is my natural eye, they aren't too fake looking, so if you are looking for something soft and natural these are a nice pick. They are 'tri-color' meaning they have various shades of brown sorta meshed together to complement your natural brown eye color, rather than one simple shade like other colored contacts. (Think gradient effect!)
BTW, I give props to those of you that do YouTube videos, so much time is needed to do these videos and uploading/editing, etc. takes major guts too lol. I feel like such a dork when I do videos, I hate the way I sound, so different from what I hear in my head, haha. But sometimes it's better to convey certain things via video than just pics no? Anyway, enjoy! Time to have some Korean BBQ with my bestie and my fiance!
