movies and comics, oh my!

Went to see American Gangster last night. A very good crime flick and one of the only movies I’ve seen this year that feels like an oscar movie. Denzel Washington should get a nod and the direction of Ridley Scott is focused soley on the story he is telling. Very very good.

But I liked the Darjeeling Limited better. I’ve always had a soft spot for Wes Anderson and this is his most serious film yet. Makes me want to research Indian train lines.

Picked up Hellboy Darkness Calls #6 today and it ends the story for baba yaga yet again. It was a very good Hellboy story overall and I really really love the coloring in this book.

Also got Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-men # 23 and it was o.k. but not as emotionally charged as the past few issues. Give it a B.

Something about Hellboy and the mythology surrounding the book really draws me in. There is a sense of proper place in the storytelling and yet the humor of life is always present through Hellboy himself. Im enjoying this series much more than The Island, and I can see it wrapping up wonderfully over the next few issues.

Two comics worth your money today as Whedon gets all touch feely with the X-men in the way only Whedon can
and then there’s the return of everyone’s favorite hornless devil


Hellboy Darkness Calls #1 of 6. A strong first issue and a nice set up for some weird fun which, is of course what Hellboy does best. Does anyone else agree that Dave Stewart is one of the best colorist working the field? He just commands the mood of the entire Hellboy comics universe.
