Cruelty Has a Human Heart
Camel Spiders
Well this is a Roger Corman flick, so watch where you step. Jack Nicholson once said that Roger would sometimes accidently make a good film. Well here there is a certain grim determination to avoid making such a mistake.
The movie is based on a well passed set of pictures showing huge camel spiders and claims that they were even bigger and attacking troops in the mid east. They are certainly ugly monsters sort of a cross between a spider and a scorpion. Well take a look yourself.....
So in this movie there are huge camel spiders big enough to drag soldiers away. Some tiny ones get into a corpse sent back to the USA and in no time it is camel spider massacre time. So we some stupid students, some soldiers, some cops, random corpses, young girl, and some corporate suits all flailing away at trying to survive. It follows every single cliche of this genre of film so there's no use describing the plot anymore. The special effects are mostly CGI and mostly bad with the spiders having that odd floating feel as they walk across the landscape. Oh and just as a scientific note I don't believe camel spiders spin webs as shown in this film, but I could be wrong. So overall if you like giant insect films this is basically harmlessly bad. Something you' watch on Syfy in the afternoon on a rainy Saturday.

Villainy and Blackguards Incorporated #29: The Blue Demon
Villains and Blackguards Incorporated (VABI) is an organization found on Earth 32aa which has dedicated itself to protecting the interest of those of differently enabled morality and enhanced humanity. They take care of legal expenses and investments. It has become a very successful organization and is considering spreading to other Earths. In case they do here are some of it's members.
Igo Niayama is best known as the Blue Demon. He's a brilliant and dashing thief and kidnapper. It doesn't hurt that all women he has kidnapped have fallen madly in love with him. This is because he has an aura that make women attracted to him. He is also a powerful teleporter. These powers plus his own sense of style has made him something of a dashing rogue. He even has his own website with fans leaving comments all the time.
VABI has used Igo's services from time to time as a diplomat and messenger. He's not an official part of VABI's staff and so he is paid, generously it should be pointed, for each such mission. He has generally been very effective. His one true failure was in trying to get a treaty with the Amazons of Earth JZ. As soon as they realized his power over women they donned magical shields and hounded poor Igo all the way back to Earth 32aa.
