V3 The Vampire Vignettes I-III: Re-Vamped by G.L. Giles

V3 The Vampire Vignettes I-III: Re-Vamped by G.L. Giles is an amazing read for the vampire lovers out there and will open many doors to the many different types of the undead there really are. It’s actually a pretty cool world that she has envisioned and created for us. Along with the quirky storylines there’s sex drugs, and blood- what more could you want?

The thing that really stands out to me with Gile’s vampire stories is the way she has all these different branches of vampires. For some reason the water vamps intrigue me the most. Maybe it’s because they are so graceful yet evil all of the time. The descriptions of all of the different types have you conjuring up in these exotic pictures in your head.

She also added graphic-novel-like adaptations for fun so you can see what exactly she was picturing in her head as she wrote the story, I think that was a pretty cool thing to do. I know not all people are vampire enthusiast but this is not your average vampire lure and she adds some Wiccan magic in there to spice it up as well.

Ok, now here’s the breakdown of how this book works- Book One is the primary storyline; Books Two and Three are the graphic-novel-like adaptations. G.L Giles proves that there are authors out there that might not be well known but their imaginations have the greatness to get there, an go even further then they have ever thought possible.

Justin Time

Long ago two ancient amulets were discovered and kept in two separate families for many generations. Justin now lives with his Uncle Heath since his parents were killed in a suspicious accident. Justin's grandfather doesn't think that Justin's parents murder was an accident, he believes it had something to do with the amulet and is more than leery when the artifact is passed on to Justin.

Then there is Michael Romano who's wife passed away and now it's just him and his daughter Angelic. One day he sits her down and explains all about the amulet and how somewhere out there, another person had the second one and when both were used together, they could see into the future and possibly delve into the past.

The Romano's end up living in Justin's town and they bump into each other at his grandfathers candy shop and there is an immediate attraction. Outside her father waits in the limo and knows that the amulet is close so he suspects it's Justin and later forces his daughter play with Justin hoping she can get her hands on what they have been looking for, she doesn't enjoy it because she really likes him.

This movie is a fun filled family acceptable watch with a cute and comical storyline that has you wondering what are all the things you'd do if you could stop time? Would you use that power for the good of mankind? Or would you cross over to the evil side and use your spare seconds pocketing people's cash who haven't a clue and will never know that time was just paused or where their money went.

Denizen

J.A. Steel's Denizen is about a small town that's being terrorized by this hairy like creature. People's bloody

body parts start showing up all over and now everyone is in a state of panic. The general is in his fatiges and informs the people at the town meeting that it's a rare strain of bird flu thats in the water now people are freaked and think everyone is going to die sickly horrible deaths.

Dex was told that he could call a woman named Seirra if he ever was in sticky situation but it must be a dire emergency. Now Sierra gives of the vibe of a total tough girl but I think somewhere deep down in her there is a slightly soft side. After getting the run aound he finally get's in touch with Sierra and he convinces her to get involved.

Sierra is now ready to rock and she's got the guns to prove it, and by guns what I mean is some muscle arms. Her and the monster go head to head in battle. The fight is on and they are going toe to toe and you aren't sure who is going to be the winner but a gunshot rings out and breaks it up. A plan is set into motion so they can catch the monster with the bloody pointy choppers.

Will they be able to hatch a plan good enough to work against the creature that is flying thru the town leaving innards dropping and blood puddling where ever it goes. The trap is set  and now all they need to do is wait for him to show up and Seirra has a freaky litle trick up her leather sleeves. Who will win this battle and will the town ever be saved?

Brooke Lemke's two short films

Young Eyes

Society today just seems to press the idea that women should look a certain way into everybodys heads, and it’s unfair. Everywhere you look there are billboards with glamorous thin women pouting down at you or shows on TV stating how marvelous these ladies are when in reality most of them are thin from stress, drugs, eating disorders but some actually just have good luck. You grow up thinking that if you aren’t a pin sized blond with double D breasts that your not beautiful or worthy. In this short two young girls are feeling the toll of being fed how we women should look

Breaking Her Will

I just recently watched Dirtbags: Evil Never Felt So Good and it was goofy and crude just like I like them. Now I have moved to another film by Bill Zebub called Breaking Her Will. It is made to make the viewer see the serial killer in the film as a realistic sexual sadist of a serial killer, not just portrayed as your typical Alpha male.

It starts with a dark haired female who looks extremely nervous trying to hitch a ride. Finally a guy stops and picks her up. He veers off the road into this parking lot gets a knife from the trunk and forces her to put on handcuffs and get in the trunk. He takes her to a basement where he slowly and methodically torments her with ease.


He insults her and handcuffs her lying down to this long piece of wood. A blond in lingerie comes over and then some fun begins. Mind games seem to be a major part of the plan when it comes to breaking chicks down, well along with sodomy, rape, and perhaps murder? This guy will skeeve you with his disgusting self and his horrible antics.


Breaking Her Will is one of those movies that if you are a woman and put yourself in that position it will give you goosebumps and turn your stomach. I would truly never want to go thru that situation and it completely hones in making you realize all over again that evil is out there and this shit really happens everyday to unsuspecting victims who never even seen it coming!

Why Am I in a Box?

In the film Why Am I in a Box Rachel Grubb plays Ellen Famsby who lives in an apartment with her boyfriend James and they are both writers.

His concentration is completely lost.


One day Ellen leaves work and the next thing you know she is in the hands of a wacky woman named Paige who has always wanted to write a great novel but has never been able to achieve her goal. She chains Ellen up in a completely painted white room with a typewriter and feeds her only ramen noodles when she is hungry.


Paige wants Ellen to write an unforgettable masterpiece that will put her name on the map and if she doesn’t- she’s dead.. So she’s holed up in the room not feeling too inspirational but forcing herself to write so this psychotic woman will let her go, well that’s what she promises her anyway. Paige reads the budding story and hates it telling her she better shape up and get it right.

Will Ellen be able to get it right or will she succumb to Paige’s punishment? Her boyfriend finally goes to the police and they put their heads together trying to figure out what could of happened to her. He doesn’t understand how she could leave him without a word, not knowing that she being held. Paige sends them a clue to decipher in order to find her- but will they get there in time?
