August 4th, 2013 Beyond the Marquee 
Who is the next Doctor Who?
With high-placed bets and speculation for several days leading up to the announcement of who would portray the next Dr. Who, BBC veteran actor Peter Capaldi has won the coveted role of the 12th Doctor. Announced Sunday on a special program, “Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor” hosted by Zoe Ball, the new Doctor was revealed for the first time during a live television announcement.
James Bond and the Literary World
August 4th, 2013 Geoffrey Geib 
License to Kill is the best James Bond movie. By far. And it’s not even close. It’s not the most fun, to be sure, that’s completely subjective and not all that close either[i], but it brilliantly captures the essence of the literary character to the greatest degree, and that essence, boiled down to its most basic and fundamental nature, is that James Bond is a world-class jerk.
Consider how Bond treats women. Does he consider their hopes and dreams? One might argue, reasonably I suppose, that this is not the relationship that either party envisions when the door closes and clothes hit the floor, but it’s difficult not to wonder if the significantly less likely to survive half of the equation here would feel as charitably towards the event in question if the spectre of imminent death was presented to them at the moment of seduction. And what about his friends? Is their well-being being looked after or given proper reciprocal consideration? What about his performance in the work place? Is he a team player? Willing to listen to others?
“2 Guns” Action Loaded (Film Review)
August 2nd, 2013 John Delia
The pairing of Denzel Washington with Mark Wahlberg turned out to be a good choice as the action boys in 2 Guns. Under the direction of Baltasar Kormákur the two are quarrelsome and rough, yet their interplay deals out plenty of comedy in this terrific crime action thriller. If you enjoy watching films like Safe House and Contraband rush out to see the boys dealing with the bad guys in 2 Guns.

Beyond the Marquee is proud to announce that it has entered into a contractual agreement with Nerdist Industries and are now partners in The Nerdist Alliance.

Incoming Transmission! ALIENS Invade Comic-Con
July 31st, 2013 worldoutwest 
1979 ALIEN Theatrical Poster
In 1979’s classic ALIEN movie, the crew of the Nostromo fought against an Alien terror that invaded their spaceship. In the months following the film’s highly successful May 25th debut that year — 18″ ALIEN figures were released in toy and department stores abroad — and for some, that might as well have been considered a horrific “Alien invasion” in its own right.
