A new mod for Grand Theft Auto V gives you the strength of a Kryptonian. Video evidence within...

The Grand Theft Auto series has long given us plenty to play around with by default, but one of the great things about the PC version is the imaginative mod community that reliably springs up around each release.

Mere weeks after Grand Theft Auto V's launch on PC, an updated version of Open IV allows users to poke around inside the game's files. A more powerful set of tools is likely to emerge very soon.

And then there's Lingon, who's something of a genius when it comes to making mods for PC games. His latest effort for Grand Theft Auto V grants players the strength of Superman and the speed of, er, The Wizard Of Speed And Time.

Sure, GTA V's fun as it is, but imagine being able to punch a...

How does one discover a movie like The Wizard of Speed and Time in 2012/2013? Isn’t it antiquated? Isn’t it beyond overdone and dated and doesn’t the premise just fall apart in the face of what we know about Hollywood; the whole movie is one great big farce filled with anti-truths and nonsensical ramblings of a talented special effects man from 1980-whenever? First of all, none of what you have just read is true save that Mike Jittlov is one talented effects man who happens to have a keen eye for film making and a knack for storytelling that touches the heart, inspires and yet delivers a message all at the same time. This is the kind of movie you want you kids to watch if you want them to grow up to be filmmakers like you never became. Follow your dreams. Learn how to accomplish your goals and never give up.

It’s the month of October. It’s Halloween. No, not the day itself, but tis the season. That means we need to focus on some truly excellent 80’s horror surrounding our beloved holiday. Sure we could give the rehash job to Halloween and its subsequent sequels, but that’s not entirely in spirit of the game although I can assure you that I’m working on something that focuses on the Carpenter magnum opus. Today we’re going to focus on some horror flicks that are about Halloween, but aren’t John Carpenter’s Halloween. Let’s talk about The Day After Halloween, Trick or Treats, Lady in White in our first It Came From 1980X triple feature offering. Each of these movies incorporates something of the Halloween spirit and only one of them actually gets any street cred for being an honest to goodness creep out. There’s...

Special-effects artists directing movies seem to attract weird opprobrium—it seems odd, for instance, to find Joe Johnston on a list of worst directors, when his somewhat bland action and effects films are no worse than most others, and at least are perfectly good-natured rather than openly obnoxious. It's actually surprising that so few effects people have followed the lead of Douglas Trumbull, who followed his award-winning work on 2001 with the features Silent Running and Brainstorm. Effects people interact with nearly every aspect of a film's production, which is more than can be said for, for instance, most actors.

And so to Mike Jittlov, who in 1987 parlayed his experience animating and creating short films for TV into writing and directing The Wizard of Speed and Time, a feature-length celebration of the creative spirit in effects-laden, romantic comedy form. It's the tale of a lonely dreamer, desperate to make his way...
