The Art Walk that takes place every first Friday of the month is always a fun time. You never know what you’re going to see or meet. I’ve taken my 14-month-old daughter twice now (the first time she was barely 7 months old) and she seems to have a fun time. It also adds a

little more when you can have events coincide

with the Art Walk, too. The Inkslingers’ Ball is always a must attend event for me because the mixture of artists is always pret-ty diverse. They always seem to kick it up a notch when it comes to the art tunnel, too.But wheth-

er you have a family or just enjoy interesting art, the Corpus Christi Art Walk is always a great

way to spend the

evening in the

city by the sea.

And feel free to

dress up if you

want.

Spider-Man is amazing no more.

The first “Amazing Spider-

Man,” which was a reboot of Sam Raimi’s original Spider-Man trilogy, was plagued with flaws and weak storytelling. Not to mention confusion on why, after a mere five years after “Spider-Man 3” we were having to deal with another origin story and a completely new cast.

Sure, “Spider-Man 3” was the weakest entry to the original saga, but seeing how that movie grossed more money than “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” is definitely say-ing something about the new Spider-Man. Mostly, it’s that Sony Pictures screwed up by trying to fix something that wasn’t necessarily broken and now doesn’t know what to do with the character.

“Amazing Spider-Man 2” starts off with a pro-logue featuring Peter Parker’s parents who

have a secret that must be kept safe, and that

causes them to leave y o u n g Peter with his Aunt

M a y a n d

Uncle Ben.

His parents then upload some file and

then get supposedly killed, yadda yadda.

No one cares.The unnecessary plot

device barely pays off around the middle of the movie and seems to add nothing to the overall narrative of the story.

Actually, most of the plot points in the movie don’t really add anything but padding to a self-depreciating, overblown, poor excuse for a Spider-Man film.

In the movie, Peter Parker, played by returning actor Andrew Garfield, is graduating from high school along with gal pal Gwen Stacy, the ever-lovable Emma Stone.

They love each other, but Parker realizes that ultimately, he can’t be with her because being Spider-Man will undoubt-ably put her in danger.

But then he changes his mind. Then he changes it again. Then he decides he can’t have her. Then he changes his mind again.

That generic plot point

drags along through the entire movie and is sup-posed to create chemis-try and show that they belong together, which never really seems to work.

Actually, when Spider-Man isn’t wearing his mask and fighting bad-dies, the movie is a com-plete and udder bore. Parker has transformed in to a whiney, poorly-spoken man-child.

He sulks around the streets of New York, meets up with his old pal Harry Osbourne, and they trade generic love advice and dumb stories from their childhood.

The movie seems rushed while feeling dragged on at the same time. All the important character development went out the window for the sake of more story lines that try to make the story seem epic, but instead cause the audience to shrug and continue their nap.

There’s not much else you can say about the movie without giv-ing it all away, except that the movie is stuffed with cheap plot lines that never even have a real payoff.

There’s way too many villains that don’t real-ly do anything but show up from time-to-time to menace Spider-Man, then leave.

They all simply come off as cameos.

The most fun the movie has to offer is when Spider-Man is actually fighting bad guys, times

which are way too far and few between for a super-hero movie.

It’s always enjoyable to see Spidey use his webs and snide humor to out-wit the villains, but it seems that as soon as he gets into the full swing of things, it’s over and he’s the dull Peter Parker again.

The entire film feels as if it was made in the ’90s when superhero mov-ies were nothing but a money grab with cheap stories and dumb expo-sition. The film actually reminds me of director Joel Schumacher’s duds “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin.”

The effects are cheap; the characters are basi-cally caricatures of real humans, and nothing in the movie warrants any sort of emotional invest-ment at all.

For “Amazing Spider-Man 3,” they have their work cut out for them. Six villains are rumored to show up, but they really need to figure out what to do with Spider-Man first and foremost, and possibly attempt to make him amazing again.

Since Spider-Man’s inception in the early ’60s, he’s gone through a series of ‘unique’ cos-tume changes.Here’s a very brief list of some of his more notable comic book getups.

Bag-Man - 1984Spider-Man donned this ridiculous costume twice.

It all happened when his black alien symbi-ote costume turned on him, and he was forced to use an old Fantastic Four cos-tume and put a paper bag over his head.

Oh, and for some reason, it also came complete with a “kick me”

sign taped to his back.

Spider-Man 2099 - 1992In the future, Miguel O’Hara

took up the Spider-Man mantle and decided to make him a little more frightening with a skull-like spi-der design. He also had a web cape,

retractable fang, and talons.

Spider-Armor - 1993When Spider-Man went up against the New Enforcers and their high caliber

weapons, he needed a little more pro-tection. He kicked their butts, but during battle, his suit was destroyed by acid. He also ended up creating Mark

II and Mark III of the Spider-Armors for future adventures.

The Spider - 2003In an alternative universe, Perter

Parquagh was living in Elizabethan London as a squire when he got bit by a irradiated

spider, giving him his special abili-ties. Most notably, the power of

looking like Shakespeare with a Spider-Man mask and leather shoes.

April 16 gave us the latest film in a grow-ing trend of

Christian films. “Heaven Is For Real,”

released the Wednesday before Good Friday and Easter, ended up with $29 million, and secured the number two spot right under “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” for the weekend with $22 million.

It nearly took the top spot, which it missed by a mere $3.5 million.

Sure, “Captain America” was on its third week in release, but it was still an impressive show-ing. To date, “Heaven is for Real” has grossed over

$66 million. And with a budget of just $12 million, there’s evidence that the Christian film genre is a force to be reckoned with.

The film is also the highest grossing Christian film to date if you ignore “Passion of the Christ” and the “Chronicles of Narnia” trilogy. I don’t put those films in the same catego-ry because they just don’t seem to fit the new crop of faith-based films, mostly because of their inflated budgets, major actors and dazzling special effects.

And I’m sure the book that the film is based on, which has sold more than 10 million copies to date,

helped a bit.The Christian film

trend can first be traced back to October 1999 when “The Omega Code” caused a blip on movie fans’ radar.

You see, “Fight Club” was the number one movie in America. The top 10 was full of feature length movies with big name stars. But there, sitting on the bottom of the list at number 10, was “The Omega Code.”

A religious movie cracked the top 10?

It fell off the charts soon after and only made $12 million on an $8 mil-lion budget, but it made its mark.

Cut to 2008 when “Fireproof,” starring Kirk Cameron, hit the big screen. Opening up at number four that week-end with over $6 million, the film had a tiny (by Hollywood standards) budget of just $500,000 and eventually went on to gross over $33 million.

That’s the moment Hollywood execs realized the true potential of faith-based films.

Major Hollywood stu-dios soon opened up smaller, Christian off-shoots to produce low budget religious films, usually released straight to DVD.

A small division of Sony Pictures also released the religious documentary “Unstoppable” in 2013 with evangelical host Kirk Cameron. A one-night screening grossed almost $2 million on 1,050 screens.

In early 2014, plans were set in motion to release three faith-based movies, each a month apart from each other.

“Son of God” came first

in February and opened up at the number two spot.

The movie was cut together from footage based on the five-part History Channel mini-series “The Bible,” and opened up with over $25 million, ending up with $59 million total.

In March, “God’s Not Dead” was released, and while it opened at num-ber four and made only $4 million its first week-end, it continued to play strong and wound up with $55 million on a $2 million budget.

In April, “Heaven Is For Real” was released and out-grossed both films.

The big Hollywood stu-dios are now clamoring for Christian fare. Epics like Noah have huge bud-gets and marketing tabs that tack on even more money, where as smaller faith-based films simply market themselves to churches, which in turn buy bulk tickets for their congregation, Bible study groups or Sunday school classes.

Churches have been known to buy out entire showings and bus in their churchgoers.

It’s a booming business for sure. So much so, that

it’s even changing the way films are distributed.

Former presiden-tial candidate Rick Santorum’s own Christian film stu-dio, EchoLight Studios, recently announced that it will distribute films in churches instead of the-aters.

EchoLight Cinemas will launch four movies, one each quarter, starting in September with “One Generation Away.”

Hollywood’s latest major attempt at turning the Bible into a blockbust-

er is coming in December with “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”

The film stars Christian Bale, along with a slew of Hollywood stars, and is helmed by Oscar-nominated director Ridley Scott.

With the amount of money faith-based films are making, it probably won’t be the last attempt for major studios to try and cash in on the trend.

If it flounders at the box office, Christians needn’t worry. God has a way of resurrecting Himself.

Not really feeling the faith? Watch these instead.

The rise of faith-based films

“Sweet Jesus Preacher Man”IMDB claims this 1973 masterpiece as about “A Black hit man poses as a Baptist preacher in a ghetto church. He decides to take over the local rackets.”

“Antichrist”What if the devil created the world

instead of God? Well, this movie

answers that ques-tion but it’s not for

the squeamish.

n October 30, 2012, it was a n n o u n c e d that Disney

had purchased Lucasfilm, LTD. The deal sent shock waves through not only the legions of fanboys but the entire world.

Soon after, it was

announced that “Star Wars: Episode VII” would be hitting screens Dec. 18, 2015 (the first Star Wars film of the saga not to be released in May).

The details were scarce with rumors flying ram-pant that the original stars would return to the franchise.

We know that J.J. Abrams is set to direct the new film, who later went on to rewrite the script with “The Empire Strikes Back” scribe Lawrence Kasdan.

Very few details seeped out about the film, which is usual when it comes to J.J. Abrams’ productions.

In April, a couple of tweets showed that Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford were, in fact, in London, where the film is set to shoot.

Even with Hamill and Fisher noticeably getting thinner and more fit, they deflected any questions of their involvement in the film but stated that they had met with the director, as well as original creator George Lucas, about the new film.

On April 29th came

the announcement which most fans were waiting for with bated breath. The cast list was released with a photo of the first ever script read through.

Fisher, Hamill and Ford were indeed return-ing with Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), and Kenny Baker (R2-D2), as well as a relatively new and unknown cast.

A few roles have yet to be cast, and their charac-ters and involvement are being kept secret.

With filming set to offi-cially begin May 13 in the desert of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, it’s only a matter of time before we get more info on the plot, who the villain is going to be and how the three returning stars will factor into the new

trilogy.

Will they have their own Jedi offspring? Will they just have cameos?

What we do know is that the story takes place 30 years after episode six, “The Return of the Jedi.”

So now it’s a wait-ing game, and Dec. 18, 2015, can’t get here soon enough.

But with Abrams at the helm, there isn’t any rea-son to worry. The force is strong with that one.

The original cast of Star Wars returns with a slew of unlikely (and unknown) faces.

t the fourth annual Ink Slingers’ Ball held in

Corpus Christi, you get the chance to see tons of unique art pieces and meet a lot of really tal-ented artists.

The event is put on by TAMUCC art professor Ryan O’Malley, and it involves artists from all over the country as well as around the globe.

One of the more unique attractions of the show is the art tunnel, which gets giant-sized art plastered on it’s walls every year for all to see.

This year, O’Malley decided to create a larger-than-life graphic novel with the pages of an actu-al comic. And that com-ic’s writer and artist was Austin’s very own Matt Rebholz.

We had a chance to chat inside the tunnel surrounded by his bizarre

illustrations staring down on us.

“This is the blown up version of the first chap-ter of my graphic novel I’ve been working on called “The Astronomer,” Rebholz stated.

“And Ryan O’Mailly from TAMUCC was kind enough to blow them up to this absurd size and wheat paste them down here so you basically have an immersive graphic novel experience.”

If you start at the entrance and make your way to the end, you can read the entire book as well as study his intri-cate, and often times humorous, artwork.

“The book is about these two floating heads that are sort of navigating this unusual world that’s full of meaty canyons and underground tem-ple complexes,” Rebholz explained.

“They’re chasing each

other and fighting each other, and eventually one of them emerges victori-ous.”

The remarkable char-acter and world designs definitely caused art-goers to stop and stare numerous times as they strolled through the tun-nel.

“There’s a lot of pre-Colombian, Mesoamerican influences with the design of the entire world.”

Rebholz has been at it for a few years now, add-ing more books to the saga which began with a very impressive Kickstarter campaign in May of 2012, where he was trying to raise $4,000 in 30 days to fund the first graphic novel. He ended up with

over $11,000.“This is the first of

three chapters that exist right now. There’s more coming.

“The first one was a little bit of an experiment. It took me about a year to make this one, which is the shortest one. And since then they’ve been getting a little bit longer, and it’s taking less time to do them, so I like to think I’m getting better at doing them, but I’m not sure,” he laughed.

Rebholz’s art is still up on the walls of the art tunnel which is open dur-ing the Corpus Christi Art Walk, held the first Friday of every month in downtown Corpus Christi.

You can check out more of his work as well as his graphic novels at www.mattrebholz.com.

hile making my rounds at the Ink Slingers’ Ball, I had the

chance to stop and chat with Travis Lawrence, who made his way to the event from St. Louis, Missouri.

His work was being displayed up the street from the House of Rock at Youga Yoga Studio, which ended up being the perfect place for the dis-play.

The images mixed with the vibe of the yoga stu-dio, and students really lifted the ambiance of the area.

Lawrence attended the event last year as well. He must have enjoyed his visit to the city by the sea,

or else why would he have returned?

“I was here last year

and met some locals, such as Linddy, the owner of this yoga studio here,” Lawrence said. “She invited me to hang up my work next time I was in town, so I came into town and got a show.”

Lawrence’s work is amazing to say the least.

The exquisite detail of each unique image is nearly unimaginable. And the fact that he carves every print by hand is equally mind blowing.

“My inspiration is more so western Esotericism. It’s wood block printmak-ing and a lot of those images and influenc-es come from the same images of those times; the wood cuts from back then.

“Alchemy and more esoteric Christian iconog-raphy. It has that feel, and it has that influence, and it reflects that, but it’s new.”

With advances in tech-nology, creating work with extreme detail like Lawrence’s has become even more within reach. While he’s not against laser wood carving, he doesn’t use the technol-ogy. He’s a little more old school.

“You can’t really shun technology, I don’t believe. I’d be a hypocrite if I said

I shunned technology.

“I don’t use laser engravings because it’s easy. Obliviously,” he laughed.

“I like the ‘everything by hand’ approach, even when it comes to print-ing. I come back and hand color each individ-ual piece. Each one has it’s own uniqueness, so if there’s like an edition of 12 or maybe 24 of a piece, each one will be unique

in it’s own because of the hand.”

You can check out Lawrence’s work in per-son through the month of May at Youga Yoga Studio, 410 Starr St. during regular business hours.

You can also check out more of his work, and event get prints and T-shirts of his work at www.infinity-prints.com.

OK, confession time. When it comes to com-petitive first

person shooters (FPSs) I am an utter noob. A noob, or newbie, is a per-son who lacks skill or knowledge in an activ-ity. That is something this seasoned, hard-core gamer has trouble admitting.

Now, that isn’t to say I have never played an FPS, but my experi-ence has been limited to cooperative FPSs, like Borderlands and Left 4 Dead (only played with friends) and single player FPS Far Cry 3.

However, when it comes to competitive FPSs, you could probably limit my experience to a single hour when I picked up a match at a friend’s house.

For those who don’t know, a competitive FPS is a game that you play online against other peo-ple; most often you are put into teams of six to battle it out against one another. The Halo, Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises are the most common competitive FPSs, each having mul-tiple sequels due to their popularity.

So, why, if this genre is so popular, have I (a

hard-core gamer) never really played one?

Simple.The premise never

appealed to me. OK, con-fession number two; I am a shy person by nature. The idea of playing and conversing with complete strangers scares the bee-geezus out of me. Even with the cloak of ano-nymity that comes with playing under a gamer-tag (online name), I could never make that leap into the genre.

So, I managed to stay away from the genre without worrying that I was really missing out on something.

Flash forward to 2013 when Titanfall was being introduced as a new breed of competitive FPS in all its mech and par-kour glory. The game looked exciting, and I fol-lowed the development religiously. By the time gameplay started being released by those lucky gamers who were asked to play in Beta testing stage, I knew this was to be the game that would take me into the competi-tive FPS world.

I loved the gameplay mechanics and new ideas. Now I just had to wait for the Xbox 360 release date, which had been

delayed two weeks. It was excruciating.

Finally, the day arrived, and I was able to get my hands on Titanfall. The game started off with a cinematic exposition, which explains the cur-rent events.

Then it was off to pilot school. I thought this was a clever way to have a tutorial that allowed players to get introduced to the new mechanics the game had to offer. Right away, I knew I would love the parkour element; it was exciting, bounding from wall to wall. I could only imagine what wall runs and double jump would bring to the match-es.

Once the tutorial was over and the achievement earned (always impor-tant), it was time to play online with other people.

I decided to start with the campaign mode first to ease into the gameplay,

hear some of the story behind the battles and the achievement. Don’t forget the achievements!

The time had come to connect online.

I had previously decid-ed to go mic-less, the shy girl in me thought having a mic would have been too much for my first outing online.

Everyone in the holding area was excited. Some players had already been playing for a while and were at higher levels.

One guy on my team was extremely help-ful explaining elements of the upcoming match. I felt like a lowly grunt listening to a seasoned solider. Ten seconds left before the match started, then sheer terror seeped in. Not of the impending match but the fact that my Kinect was on and acting as a mic. To late now, solider; you have a fight beginning.

My new tactic? Absolute silence. Luckily, I am nor-mally a quiet gamer.

The action was fast and a complete blast. The makers of Titanfall really worked to ensure both noobs and experienced players could enjoy them-selves.

There is a smart gun available to a player that automatically locks on to targets after a short time, so no need to bother with pesky aiming. Great gun for new players to

the FPS genre; however, I found the gun sluggish and kept to the tradition-al aim and shoot options.

Another great equalizer is the Titans themselves, which are big mechani-cal suits over which the player takes control. The Titan is available to a player every two min-utes, so don’t worry about dying; the Titan timer keeps on ticking down no mater how many times you die in between.

Of course, that time can be shortened based on player’s damage to the other team. At one point I called down my Titan, I was running along the rooftop, then launched off the roof towards my Titan on the ground below. He caught me midair and put me into the pilot seat at which point I proceeded to stomp around and squish the e n e m y u n d e r my big m e c h feet.

It was awesome!

Titanfall is an amaz-ing game for new and old players of the genre. If you are new, you will die a lot,

but it is never frustrat-ing, and you can immedi-ately jump back into the action.

Yes, the first time you see your name at the bot-tom of the scoreboard is a blow to the ego, but then you’re back in the game, leveling up, unlocking new guns and having too much fun to care. Trust me, you will improve over time as long as you con-tinue playing. And you will want to; it’s too fun not to keep playing.

So, whether you’re a noob or a seasoned FPS player, I recommend giv-ing Titanfall a chance.

Now go forth and game on.
