Book of the Week: Superman-Batman 48

May 28th, 2008 · Comments

 
Okay, I really like this book.  It’s one of the few that I make a point to read every month.  In the current story thread, Superman has decided to rid the Earth of all Kryptonite with the help of Batman.  What he found out in the last issue was that there is way more Kryptonite [...]

Quick Review: Indiana Jones…Kingdom…Crystal Skull

May 24th, 2008 · Comments

Maybe my expectations were too high.  Maybe I let all the hype and buzz around the movie get to me.  Maybe it was remembering how the previous movies made me feel.  Maybe it was nostalgia.  Maybe it was Lucas and Spielberg together again.   I don’t know.  The movie wasn’t what I hoped it would be.  [...]

Wanted International Trailer

I don’t speak Russian, but here’s the international trailer for Wanted. Be warned, other countries aren’t as prudish as we are here, so the trailer is graphic. View at your own risk.  This actually makes me want to see the movie more now, than the previous theatrical trailer that I’ve seen.  See it after [...]

May 21st, 2008 · Comments

Quick Review: Speed Racer

May 19th, 2008 · Comments

I finally got to see Speed Racer this past weekend.  And there really isn’t that much to say.  I never saw the cartoon, and I can’t claim to be a fan.    I thought it was okay.  The kid in me hated all the exposition and the adult in me thought that Spittle and Chum-chum were [...]

With Barack Obama’s recent victory in North Carolina, and his virtual tie in Indiana’s primary, it is time for me to get off the fence.  Having traveled back in time to the era in which the Star Trek television set of series aired, which is a remarkably frequent [...]

Picture of The Octopus from The Spirit

May 15th, 2008 · Comments

Once again, Samuel L. Jackson has taken another comic book character role.  This time he’s going to play The Octopus in Frank Miller’s The Spirit.  The Octopus is the villain in the comic book The Spirit.  The Spirit was created in the 1940’s by Will Eisner.  It’s sort of like a cross between Batman and [...]
