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.
May 4th. Well May is here and the summer of 80’s and overall geekfest of sequels is upon us. I know in my heart I won’t make it to as many movies as I would like and by August will pass on ones that I will go to now because Im ready. Spider-Man 3 opens the floodgates and it makes you wonder if the season will peak with the very first release. I loved the 1st movie, thought the second was a little king kong action but still rather good. Can anyone name any movies other than the original star wars where all 3 were good?(i know jedi is a point of debate, but I liked the Ewoks dammit.)
May 11th is 28 Weeks Later, the sequel to 28 days later. Got to wonder why? But as the first zombie flick in a while it should do o.k. in second place under spideys red and black second week shadow.
Shrek 3 comes out the week after, and I will skip it until dvd. Thank you for coming out by christmas.
Then only a week later on the 25th it’s time for Mr. Depp and the rest of the dirty Pirates for our final foray into what has been a wonderful summer set of movies. It will be fun and Chow Yun Fat as a pirate? Cool.
There’s two smaller films that also have my eye this month but they might not make it to your town anytime soon. Luc Besson’s first movie in quite a while Angel-A set in black and white Paris, and
Waitress, a romantic date movie for when your girl is sick of Venom and Explosions. Plus it has Nathan Fillion in it, which means it will be good and absolutely no one will go see it. 
Only picked up Moon Knight # 9 this week and new penciler MICO SUAYAN does a nice job of replacing finch although not quite as detailed in the backgrounds. Wonder what will happen in issue ten? In all realities Moon Knight and Punisher shouldn’t really have a problem with each other. Will be interesting to see how Huston plays it.
Astonishing X-men # 20 So it looks like Whedon will be able to wrap up his storyline by the time he leaves which is nice, but it will leave me without an x-book to look forward to. Nice pacing. Still just the right amount of humor. A
New Avengers #27. I dropped this book but thought id give this a try again. At first i thought Bendis missed writing Daredevil until finally the New (new) Avengers showed up. AThis lineup seem a bit underpowered to any of you? And shame on MArvel for that awful chickfila plug. bad product placement if ive ever seen it. B without the spiderad, c with it.
So here’s my valentines month movie previews. There is actually a whole lot of movies coming out in Feb and march( more so than usual) and some actual omg movies as well(300 I’m counting on you) but for feburary only 3 really stand out for me.
Breach comes out Feb 16th and one actor has sold me on it. Chris Cooper is just so good, has been since American Beauty. I can get over the fact that Ryan Phillipe is in it because of this. And hey its a thriller in winter. Why not?
This is the other movie on feb 16th and I admit it probably will be pretty bad. But when you have a discussion on what kind of superheroes you could pull off five years ago Ghost Rider wasn’t one of them. The technology has come so far, I hope this isn’t all razzle Dazzle, cause If a flaming skull on a bike doesn’t work then you can throw out all the other blist heroes chances of a silver screen appearance.
Then on the 23rd is Craig Brewers follow up to HUstle and Flow. Black Snake Moan stars samuel l jackson and christinia Ricci. and well this is the movie alot of critics said should have been released in time for the oscars. O.k. What are you going to see in febuary?
big comics day for me.
Astonishing gets all spacey and Mr Whedon and Mr Cassidy deliver again. not as fun as the past couple of issues but still the best book of the week.
Loveless 14 More vengence. great colors. dont know where this comic can go though.
battlestar galactica # 4 interesting story. like where the cylon thinks baltar is a cylon, which he may or may not be.
bsg zarek, a miniseries on richard hatch’s characther from the new show. pretty good backstory.
we had our christmas today and i racked up on the wii games.
initial quick impressions
marvel ultimate alliance. a comic geeks dream. my team right now. capt america, moon knight, spiderman, and maybe iron man.
tony hawk downhill jam. feels rushed, tracks are pretty quick and then your done. no sense of urgency. will probably beat pretty quickly.
rayman raving rabbids. the best game for me and jess to play together. its got alot of charm, and will probably keep us sharing the controller more than anything else.
also got jess trauma center for the wii and elite beat agents for the ds.
trauma center oozes style, looks pretty good and elite beat agents looks like its going be jess’s favorite in a while.
Pretty great wii-load and then theres all the other stuff we gave each other. so much fun. how will i get anything done?
