"In episode #108, we posed a simple question: Which movie should be turned into a graphic novel? Your responses to the question became the fodder for a great conversation. Turning the typical page-to-screen progression on its head, we dig into the strengths and weaknesses of each medium. We discuss the possibility of seeing Mystery Train, Walkabout, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Zardoz, Hero, Die Hard, and Gangs of New York crammed into little action-packed drawings. We check in with Karina for a hindsight conversation about awards season. She poses the question: Who would win in a fight,

"Shutter, which I knew nothing about going in, turned out to be pretty creepy. Joshua Jackson ("Bobby") stars as a photographer who keeps seeing a ghost in his pictures. Then she turns up haunting him and his girlfriend, so they try to sort out why she's so pissed. The mood is pretty chilly throughout, and even the end held up. I wouldn't say seek it out, but if you come across it, it's worth watching.The newest film from writer/director David Mamet ("Spartan"), Redbelt is sort of about a martial arts instructor who doesn't want to fight in a tournament, but then circumstances, and acquaintances, conspire to get him into it. Because it's Mamet, the dialogue is super cool. My two new favorite phrases, "Let the wheel come around," and "Leave the outside, outside." However, there are a few side stories that are either confusing or don't go anywhere. Chiwetel Ejiofor ("American Gangster") is amazing in the lead. His eyes express everything. I quite enjoyed this.Drawn to The Secret throu ... "

"I am not a child of the 70s. I say this because it seems to be one of the main reasons I do not share the same reverence for the odd spectacle productions of that decade like 'Tommy' or 'The Man Who Fell to Earth.' I was going to throw 'Heavy Metal' in there, which is certainly a product of the 70s, even though it came out in 1981. Which is also the year that this sort-of sequel to 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' came out. Now, as much as I thoroughly enjoy 'Rocky Horrror' (with and without the crowd participation), I can buy into many of the criticisms of that film. They pitched the tone a bit too seriously, the pacing is erratic, and the movie never really communicates the same idea that the stage show originally did. But 'Shock Treatment' is something completely different, and it struggles to be taken on its own terms. The All Movie guide says it is "hesitantly embraced" by 'Rocky Horror' fans, but that rings as a prespective of someone on the outside observing the freaks. There ... "

"David Bowie is perfect for this role. He is a distant and seemingly disassocated man who makes millions and then wants to use his money to save his family on another planet. The strange editing and cinematography of this movie help craft the eiree feeling of this movie. I really liked it and yet... Something is missing from this movie. I can't put my finger on what it is. I saw a remake of this movie and don't bother with it. It is far too literal and strips away the lyrical imagery that this version has. "
