Narcos: Mexico Premiering on Netflix in November

We are looking forward to this one too. The previous Narcos series kept us intrigued. Narcos: Mexico will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, beginning at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers.

Witness the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) takes the helm, unifying traffickers in order to build an empire. When DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post.

Narcos: Mexico, premiering worldwide November 16 on Netflix.

My First NY Comic Con 2018

By Amanda Lampkins

Finally, I went to NY Comic Con this year! I’m not as geeky as I was in my (ahem) younger years. I was a comic girl back in the day. Spider-Woman, X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four were my bread and butter. I interspersed with other supes as well. I even have a stable of old comics that might fetch a pretty penny, too. So, watching Comic Con stills and images from other cities plus New York always placed it on my bucket list. The timing always conflicted with my yearly church’s (FCBC) women’s conference trip. This year I was good to go and immediately went through the rigmarole for email sign-up reservation and ticket purchase. I went in for 3 days straight; October 4–6; Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I even bought special t-shirts for each day; had to represent y’all.

It was definitely an experience. Of course, I had to document every bit of it via social media, i.e. Instagram and what my father calls “The Facebook.” The atmosphere lived up to the hype.

I loved the enthusiasm of the cosplay by the attendees. They really don’t play! Many paid detailed attention to the characters they decided to wear/play. I loved their willingness to stop for pictures whenever asked by total strangers. The children dressed up were freaking adorable as well.

I went through Artist’s Alley and saw awesome posters and works by the artists themselves. Some were on-site to autograph works for sale and works commissioned on the spot.

It made me want to go delve back into my lapsed comic-reading. I loved walking through the vendor floors getting in trouble with all offerings: collectibles, posters etc. If you do the same, you will wish you had more money and space when viewing the many items for sale.

Cucuy: The Boogeyman Premiere’s on SyFy Network

Cucuy: The Boogeyman is inspired by the indelible legend found in many Latino countries. I grew up calling it The Cucuman (said with a Caribbean accent).

The film has a little of Hitchcock’s Rear Window, a little Halloween, and a few other reminder of other supernatural thrillers, but all-in-all entertaining. Perfect for a Saturday night.

Jearnest Corchado

Jearnest Corchado

Starring Marisol Nichols (Riverdale) and up and coming Puerto Rican actress Jearnest Corchado (The Blacklist) the movie tells the story of a town hit by a series of unexplainable child abductions. With no witnesses, no evidence, and no discernible connection between the missing children, the local Sheriff, played by Brian Krause (Charmed), has reached a dead end. During a town meeting, a resident inquires, is it possible that the Cucuy has come to Glimmer Peak?

The cast also includes; Bella Stine, Pedro Correa, Jack Erdie, Jossara Jinaro, Alma Martinez, Madison Rojas, Isaac Arellanes, Isabel Gravitt, and Justin Ellings. Written and directed by Peter Sullivan.

The movie is scheduled to premiere exclusively on SyFy on Saturday, October 13th at 7/6P CT. — A.O.
