Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) Movie Review

Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (1983) (IMDB)

When I sat down to watch this movie, one that I had no idea about until I did a deep search on IMDB, I had low expectations. The initial titles told me this was going to be rough, but seeing a dystopian space movie with Molly Ringwald in her prime pulled me in. After a crash landing on a planet full of mutants, 2 bounty hunters (including Molly) chase the $ to attempt a rescue of 3 captives. The movie has a Mad Max feel and is better than many Star Wars inspired movies from this time. In fact, this movie was released 1 week before Return of the Jedi. During the last third of the movie, Molly is captured by the mutants, but if she can traverse a maze without dying she is promised her release. The maze is a Mad Max style obstacle course like a horror Wipeout. Molly plays her typical moody, complaining character.

I give it a 5.4/10.

Maze Comic Book Cover #80 - SPELL CHECK

Issue #80 in my comic book cover series is called SPELL CHECK and features the maze of a wizard. The background was made using starryai. I tried to make the wizard ambiguous from a side standpoint. He might be good or evil. Maybe the story arch takes him from one to the other. This begins a 3 issue medieval arch of characters.

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1-53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2

Wizard Maze Comic Book Cover

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #184 - San Antonio Skyline Maze

This maze of the San Antonio Skyline was a requested commission for a book. I liked the way it came out and present to to you today with only minor updates. I changed the size (larger) and switched the font of the title. I also moved the title from under the maze to inside the border so that I could maximize the maze size. I like the black and white look of this maze, and think it works as a coloring page also. The actual maze is not very complicated. The majority of my time drawing this was spent making windows on buildings ! Enjoy Maze of the Week #184.

San Antonio Skyline Maze

The maze is available for download on the home page.

What other skylines do you think deserve a maze ?

One of my more popular mazes is a maze of The Alamo Mission in San Antonio !

This maze also reminds me of one of my early mazes done for charity I called “Lost in the City”. Would you believe I made it in Excel !! I’m sure it can be found somewhere on the site…but here it is again ! A different style and a much more difficult maze to solve.

Flowers (2015) Movie Review

Flowers (2015) (IMDB)

Flowers 2015 movie poster

I found this movie on an IMDB list that said it may contain a maze which also described the movie as “abstract”. That is exactly what this movie is. I had to read and explanation online to understand what was actually going on during the movie. There is no dialogue or narration or voiceover to explain anything. Just a group of mangled women making their way through passageways under a house and inside the walls of a house. It feels claustrophobic at times and a bit mazelike. The music fits the movie, but there is not a lot going on. The kind of movie you can watch at 3X speed, but that would ruin the mood the director wanted you to feel during the movie. So I suggest you skip it.

I give it a 3.4/10.
