I was working as a movie usher when New Moon came out, and I had grown people stepping out of ticket lines with money outstretched, offering outrageous sums of cash to buy my promotional New Moon t-shirt off my back. And believe me, it was not an excuse to peek at my trout belly. This is for real, people! Star Wars and Harry Potter premieres have nothing on this.]]> http://calitreview.com/17402/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/16953 http://calitreview.com/16953#comments Fri, 27 May 2011 20:42:13 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=16953 http://calitreview.com/16953/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/15705 http://calitreview.com/15705#comments Wed, 04 May 2011 01:31:23 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=15705 Conan The Barbarian.

These include TAMMY, a computer system with a "kind of sexy" curvilinear pixel configuration and low self-esteem, Phil, a software system copied from Microsoft Middle Manager 3.0 and Ed, a non-existent dog who is a "weird ontological entity that produces unconditional slobbery loyal affection."]]> http://calitreview.com/11744/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/11671 http://calitreview.com/11671#comments Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:55:56 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=11671 http://calitreview.com/11671/feed 2 http://calitreview.com/10748 http://calitreview.com/10748#comments Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:50:14 +0000 Katie Cappello http://calitreview.com/?p=10748 http://calitreview.com/10748/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/10088 http://calitreview.com/10088#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:00:18 +0000 Dan Fields http://calitreview.com/?p=10088 At The Mountains Of Madness is in the works, with Guillermo del Toro slated to direct from his own script.

The premise of this story is clear and simple—familiar characters from fairy tales and folklore escape after an army of creatures led by the mysterious Adversary has come to conquer their home worlds. Where do all these exiled creatures go? New York City, of course. ]]> http://calitreview.com/6212/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/5894 http://calitreview.com/5894#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:46:54 +0000 Ryan Van Cleave http://calitreview.com/?p=5894 The Ghost King is a must-read for any fans of the Drizzt Do’Urden stories and a welcome read for general fantasy enthusiasts.

Not that you can pigeon-hole this novel—it’s a dizzying slipstream mashup of genres and memes and tropes and legends wrapped around a cross-cultural love story. This is a story that has depth, richness; a heart and a soul. Above all, it has a soul.]]> http://calitreview.com/4653/feed 0
