Pencilheads Episode III
THE HAPPENING
Directed by M Night Shyamalon. Starring Mark Wahlberg, and Zooey Deschanel.
"A strange, horrible and unprecedented crisis begins in Central Park. A high school science teacher, his wife and a young girl do what they can to survive it." -Imdb
What do we here at the Pencilheadquarters say? A lot, since the movie is so unbelievably bad. So bad it's good.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
Released in 2005 for the Playstation2.
"Shadow of the Colossus is a majestic journey through ancient lands to seek out and destroy gigantic mythical beasts."
We discuss one of the greatest games ever made.
WATCHMEN MOVIE
Lastly, we tackle Watchmen directed by Zack Snyder: starring Billy Crudup, Malin Akerman, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson.
"When an ex-superhero is murdered, a vigilante named Rorschach begins an investigation into the murder, which begins to lead to a much more terrifying conclusion." -Imdb
Watchmen is, in fact, an adaptation of a 1986 graphic novel of the same name- written by Alan Moore and drawn by Dave Gibbons. We chat about the film's direction, VFX work, set design, and acting.
Best,
Chris
