Obsidian. Tasmanian Devil. Starman. Bunker. And Batwoman. No! They don't all play table tennis with a baseball bat! Instead, they're all heroes of the homosexual persuasion. Well, last week, DC Comicsnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) Now what do the following five heroes have in common? Obsidian. Tasmanian Devil. Starman. Bunker. And Batwoman. No! They don't all play table tennis with a baseball bat! Instead, they're all heroes of the homosexual persuasion. Well, last week, DC Comics have announced that one of their 'major icons' will be coming 'out of the closet'. So I just want you to have in mind what has come before, just as I now tell you who may be this next 'super shirt-lifter' . Here, check out my top ten candidates to wear the crown of fabulous. Roleplaying in the DC Universe 10) Nightwing: It is pretty safe to say that Dick Grayson has never had any luck with the opposite sex. Barbra. Kory. Raya. And whoever else he has been 'intimate' with in the DCnU. Maybe he will look at Bruce in a different way now, huh? A more alternate way. Hmmm. 9) Bunker: OK. I know that he is already gay. But maybe DC is doing a double bluff? And they are actually going to make this flamboyant hero into a more conservative hero? At least this way he wouldn't have to wear that silly purple costume anymore. 8) Hawkman: Well, he has a lot of feathers on his costume, so maybe old parrot-face just decided to go with the flow, and give in to his more non-pretentious side. At least this way he would be less angry? 7) Spiderman: Listen, I have not forgotten that Peter Parker is a Marvel hero. Nonetheless, this might be a good way of DC trying to sabotage his up and coming 'Amazing' movie, whilst giving themselves a 'Perez Hilton' type credos in the process. 6) Guy Gardner: All of those years of surely behavior and pent-up frustration could be explained away if Guy 'liked the c*ck'. Also, it would additionally justify why he tries to macho-up a bit too much at times. Repression. Repression. Repression. 5) Wonder Woman: DC have 'masculated' Diana quite a lot since the DCnU began. She's tougher. She is more harder edged. She is very stoic. Heck, all they have to do next is slap her into a pair of dungarees and sit her next to Batwoman for a couple of hours. I'd like to see that? Wouldn't you? 4) Green Arrow: Since DC have made 'Mr Queen' into a pale imitation of the man he once was, I suppose making him 'a gay' would not ruin him all that much. At least that way he can think of more imaginative ways of making his arrows fabulous. 3) Superman:&nbsp;Could the last son of Krypton be the first Son of Elton John?&nbsp;He has removed his underwear. He has added a Beatles collar to his tunic. He looks like a nice boy. And I am sure that living on a farm has broadened his horizons. So it's possible. 2) J'onn J'onzz: His hero-name is 'Martian Manhunter'. MAN-Hunter. Not PERSON-Hunter. Get it? Maybe this slight twist to old green genes will come about after he catches his fellow Stormwatch 'hero-homo's', Midnighter and Apollo, in a very compromising position, prompting him to then decide to show him his other muscle. 1) Aquaman: Many years ago there was a rumor floating around DC that Arthur Curry would be a homosexual hero. True. Maybe now the men behind the doors are going to put this into action, making this Curry hotter than usual. So there you have it folks, my top ten list of possible poofter heroes. It's good news that DC are deciding to change their status-quo in this way. I just hope that the other heroes and the public can see it this way as well...

It is a reference which bestows luck into a second instance compared to the first. What? No? Then I suggest that you splash some water on your face, eat after midnight, avoid direct sun-light, and watch this film Directed by Joe Dante; and Starring: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates, John Glover&nbsp;and Christopher Lee. It was made in 1990 and lasts for 106 minutes. Gremlins 2 - The New Batch THE STORY: Now Billy Peltzer (Zach Galligan) thought that his brand new life in New York City would be a good thing for him and his girlfriend, Kate Beringer (Phoebe Cates). But no. The 'smart' building they both work in is full of glitches. Billy's boss, Marla Bloodstone (Haviland Morris), is a b*tch. The chief of security, Forster (Robert Picardo), is a tyrant to say the least. Plus by chance of fate, Billy discovers that this old fury pal, Gizmo, is in the science lab belonging to Doctor Catheter (Christopher Lee). So what does Billy do about Gizmo? Take him home before anything happens to him? No - he can't - because Marla forces him to go out on a 'business lunch' with her - and he has to get Kate to take him home instead. However, before Kate is able to do this, by mistake, Gizmo gets splashed with some water, causing the little sod to replicate in the process. Worst still, is that some of these replicated 'Gremlins' throw Gizmo down the rubbish shoot before they scavenge for food, whilst a rather wired looking Gremlin gets taken home by Kate by accident. Moreover, once Billy comes home and recognises' that the Gremlin Kate has taken isn't Gizmo, they panic, and both of them run back to their place of work to sort matters out themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ooops! Big mistake. Well, when Billy initially tries to prevent Gizmo getting wet again, he gets detained for the night by the police. And the following day when he then tries to explain to Forster how dangerous the Gremlins can be - BANG - too late. Yep, I am afraid to say that during the interim, the replicated Gremlins have eaten some food after midnight, and are now the grotesque little b*stards that Billy still recollects from all those years ago. Plus to make matters even more dire, some of these ugly critters get into Doctor Catheter lab, and enhance their abilities to a rather strange level! Bat-Gremlin - Electro-Gremlin - Talking-Gremlin - Tomato-Gremlin - Spider-Gremlin - Lady-Gremlin - plus many-many more. All of them go on a rampage, causing havoc in their own amiable way.&nbsp; Now can anybody do anything about this? Maybe Grandpa Fred (Robert Prosky)? Because he does have a Chinese cameraman in toe. Or what about Billy old neighbor from out of town, Murray Futterman (Dick Miller)? He's seems like a do or die kind of a guy. Or better yet, what about the visionary behind Billy's place of work, Daniel Clamp (John Glover)? As he does have very shiny hair. Possibly? Especially with Billy, Kate, Marla, and Gizmo by their sides. And that is why what next transpires is a right stain on the environment I can tell you. As plans do a double take - neighbours get a recipe to bake a new cake - Gremlins get decked - and Clamp has found a new project. Who wants a kiss? Come on. Gimme a kiss. THE REVIEW: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now before I give you my 411 on 'Gremlins 2 - A New Batch' please allow me to squirt some facts in your face first. (1) When 'Gremlins 1' director, Joe Dante, initially refused to make a sequel, the producers then planned to make a second film by committee, and suggested that they should set it in such places as Las Vegas or even Mars. Thankfully, this never came to pass. (2) The original ending had Billy father, Randall Pelzer, giving Gizmo a special wet suit, so that 'the problems' would never arise again. This scene was never shot. (3) At one point during post production, a combat-type character wasCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAHave you ever heard of the expression "Second times a charm"?

Deadshot does not care. Harley Quinn washes her hair. And King Shark wants to eat Lights thigh. Or maybe he can nibble at Writer: Adam Glass; Artists: Fernando Dagnino and Ken Lashley; plus Published by DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? This part of the Resurrection Man cross-over event called 'Dead Man Walking', is in fact like a Dead Man running, punching, zapping and jumping for his very life. To elaborate... Amanda Waller had her suspicions that something might be off with the Suicides Squads next mission. You see, all they had to do was kill some schmuck called Mitch Shelly, before transporting him and his girl-pal, Kim, back to headquarters. Now at first this plan goes according to plan. Deadshot shoot's Mitch in the head, BANG! And Black-Spider transports both himself and Kim back to home base. ZAP! However, Mitch suddenly becomes reborn in death, and his second coming isn't very pleasing to our friendly pack of hired killers. He has electromagnetic powers!!! Sh*t! As soon as Mitch comes back from the dead, he decides to go biblical on the Suicide Squads ass. Prompting one and all to run like f*ck, or else get f*cked. Strangely enough, Harley is reborn as well back at HQ too. She's now Doctor Harleen Quinzel. To be continued in Resurrection Man #9. What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I laughed at the exchange between Deadshot and Iceberg at the beginning of this tale. DEADSHOT: Iceberg, I need a vehicle. ICEBERG: I think that I can be better used than that. You know that I can turn anything I touch to ice. DEADSHOT: I'll remember that when I need a cold beer. Meanwhile, fetch me something that does not scream 'Superman, come get us'. Funny, right? What was the BEST thing about this issue? As ever with this series, a tonal thing happens to me whilst I am reading it. Where this issue is concerned, my mind is thrust back to those seventies pursuit movies, where the bad guys and the good guys all meld into one. Making black and white merge into shades of grey. A nice grey though. What was the WORST thing about this issue? This story started off with a bit of a jolt in its execution. It was as if began somewhere else (which it most probably did) and was just continuing the motion. Not a massive gripe - sure. And it did not hinder the story at all. But one worth mentioning all the same. Moreover, I wasn't too sure about that Iceberg chap. He came across as a disposable villain. Plus Amanda Waller's new character comes across more stubborn than she did previously - narrow minded even. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: There were two things that I did love about this tale. Firstly, Yo-Yo is back, Yippee! And secondly, I am not sure if Light snuffed it in this issue or not. It didn't feel as if she did, and left a question hanging in the air. I like questions. ART: The Suicide Squad splash page (as seen above) should be made into a poster. Fernando is a great artist, and I hope that he can stay on this title for as long as he can. He does 'dynamic' very well. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? MITCH: Just give Patrick Dempsey from 'Greys Anatomy' a 'new-do', and he would make for a really great man who can not die. Can't you see him now, zapping all of the nurses with his intense glair? ICEBERG: Shemar Moore from TV's 'Criminal Minds' has that alternate yet brooding look which screams - 'I can turn you into ice without breaking a sweat'. And he goes not even need to use a gun! If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Question: How Do You Kill A Man That Does Not Die? Answer: Run Away!!!!!!! If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; In many ways this tale reminds me of one of those quiz shows that keep's you guessing.

One minute you could be a pretty regular person with a pretty regular lifestyle. And the next minute you can be a hired assassin with a sexy dame by your side. True. Just look at this film to see what I mean. This comic book film Directed by Timur Bekmambetov; and Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, and Terence Stamp. It was made in 2008 and lasts for 110 minutes. Wanted THE STORY: Poor lowly accounts manager, Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy), is having a really bad time of it at the moment. For a start he is shot at by his reclusive father's killer, Cross (Thomas Kretschmann). He is then saved by a sexy female assassin called Fox (Angelina Jolie), who takes him to dead fathers well-spoken boss, Sloan (Morgan Freeman). Plus, on top of that, Sloan explains to Wesley that he has untapped potential within himself, and that he and his fraternity of assassins can teach him how to tap into this potential, so that he can avenger his fathers death. Cr*p! OK, so what is Wesley going to do about it, huh? Tell his own boss to f*ck off, slap his best-friend around the mouth with a keyboard because he is shagging his girlfriend, and then go to see Sloan to make him a new man? Errr? Yes. Why not? However, is this the right thing for Wesley to do? Train to be an assassin I mean. Because each and every member of this fraternity is very brutal to him you know. For example, the Repairman and the he Butcher (Marc Warren and Dato Bakhtadze) both beat him senseless until he can fight back. Fox pushes him onto of a subway train so that he can get used to unstable ground. Sloan goads him with his father's past life, just so he can learn about his legacy with the fraternity. Plus to top it all off, Wesley is coaxed to kill an unscrupulous business man, just so that he can test his own abilities in the field.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK, so now is he ready? Is Wesley now Super-Wes? Well? Kind of. Though I have to admit, that it does not look that way when he accidentally kills a member of the fraternity when Cross attacks him. Nevertheless, Wesley does learn something from this disastrous turn of events, and manages to catch up with Cross with some reluctant help from arms-dealer, Pekwarsky (Terence Stamp). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But, I am afraid to say, that this fateful confrontation does have a certain mind-shattering aftertaste. As you see, on the one hand, both Wesley and Fox are able to kill cross upon a moving train. Whilst, on the other hand, before Cross dies, he tells Wesley that Sloan's fraternity is a sham, and that he is in fact his... No. No saying. But I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right bullet fest all in all. As true tales are relayed - rat-bombs are laid - confrontations are brave and bold - and the eventful ending was previously foretold. THE REVIEW: When 'Wanted' first came out all those years ago in comic book form, I have to admit, at the time it did not look like anything special to me. Conceptually, it was a well presented book with big guns, bigger tits, and even bigger splash pages full of carnage, death, and destruction, which creators, Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, were good at doing amidst their other works for Image, DC, and Marvel. Still, I did give it a good look for about five minutes or so, just before I then put it back on the racks and picked up 'Savage Dragon' instead. However, now all these years have pasted, and I have watched the 'Wanted' movie, do you think that I have regretted my decision at all?&nbsp; No. Not really. You see, it's always been one of those books that I would have picked up if I had a bit more cash to splash, and I have never felt that I have missed out on something special by not adding it to my pull list. Moreover, after watching the film, I do feel more of the same too, as this flick is one of those good bad movies' that's a tad too unbalanced as a story.

Apollo knows what I am saying. Midnighter is just preying. Whilst Jenny is standing to attention. Unlike new Writer: Peter Milligan; Artist: Miguel Sepulveda; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Though I could be wrong you know. So what’s the STORY morning glory? In the 'Da Vinci Code', our stormy bunch of watcher's are presented with two threats with a tale to tell. Kind of like a dating show with some occasional violence. Well, after she receives warning from the ships monitors, The Engineer splits her team into two, and instructs them to both go to two different locations, to pick up two very different people. Violent people. Jenny, Jack, and J'onn, zip off to Rome, Italy, and get their hand's on some love-struck nut-job who was once a member of an earlier incarnation of their team. Piero Rosci is his name, and his game is revenge upon his one time masters, 'The Dark Lord'. Meanwhile, Apollo and Midnighter fly to Devon, England, and get into a skirmish with a goat-faced Red-Lantern, who just wants to burn everything in his path. No. Not happening. Once the captured and the liberated are all back at Stormwatch HQ, two finite solutions present themselves whilst another more stranger question is posed. What of the future? To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? There were two pieces of dialogue that floated my boat in this tale. The first one was when Jack said to the City of Rome whilst rebuilding her 'Rome was not built in the day. Sorry. I could not resist that', because I could sympathise with his comment. Whereas the other piece related to Midnighter's opening inner summation... 'Just how many killings will it take? How many deaths to push me over the edge? I told myself that I joined Stormwatch to bring down evil b*stards. But is that still true?' Nice opening remarks. And sums up what this issue is all about really. What was the BEST thing about this issue? Although this issue is one divisible by two, and has a synchronistic way about what it's trying to accomplish with each strand. Aesthetically the underlining message that this tale is trying to convey is what makes a true hero. Someone who is bold? Someone who is willing to do what other people aren't? Or is it something else entirely? I found that this was subliminally encapsulated in the book-end 'Midnighter sequences' very well, and was quite original too. What was the WORST thing about this issue? The Red Lantern part of the tale felt too much like a titivation that never went anywhere really. OK. I know that I could be wrong in the future. But as of this telling, it came across more like a blatant Red-Lantern cameo. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Including the subliminal message I stated previously, I enjoyed the Da Vinci / Vatican part of this yarn. Plus that open-handed hologram battle between Batman and Midnighter which faded before it could begin. Tease. ART: Miguel Sepulveda is one top class artist. I like the way that Piero Rosci started to hover when he went nuts. In addition to this, I have taken a shine to the overall cinematic feel and tone to the layout as well. Very grand. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? PIERO ROSCI: Rodrigo Santoro from the epic Greek war-time action adventure '300', looks like a man that would do anything for the woman he loves. Well, he did so in British rom-com, 'Love Actually', right? Plus he was 'stupping' J-Lo. RED LANTERN: Rodrigo's '300' co-star, Andrew Pleavin, looks like a goat already. Therefore, it would not take too much make-up to turn him into this very angry Lantern. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Love May Be Blind. But Heroism Needs Contact Lenses. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; So this tale wasCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA[ HE'S GRABBING MY COUPON ]&nbsp; Its nice to have a connection.

Though Eugene did drink a lot you know. Plus watch 60-minutes documentaries such as this one made in 2012. Well, he would have, if he was still alive or course. The Up Series THE STORY: This second instalment of this award winning documentary series, '56 Up', continues from where the previous episode left off (click here for review). However, this time round, the lives of four different candidates 'out of the twelve' will be relayed. There names are Jackie, Suzy, Nick, and Simon. And what now follows is a breakdown of their respective tales. JACKIE - I WANT TO WORK IN WOOLWORTHS Now it is pretty safe to say that Jackie's has had a somewhat grounded life by nature. You see, although in her younger days Jackie never wanted to have children, but always wanted to get married, by her late-thirties she was divorced twice and had three children, and is now living as a single parent Mother in Scotland. Moreover, due to her having contracted arthritis in her forties, she is now being cared for by two of her children. Though, in turn, she is more than happy to care for her new Grandchild.&nbsp; SUZY - WHAT GOES DOWN, CAN GO UP At an early age Suzy's time on this planet was a rather confusing one for her all in all. She went to boarding school because her parents spit-up. Plus in her twenties she was living in Paris and working as a secretary for a short while. However, by her late-thirties, things changed for Suzy quite a lot. She got married. She had three children. Plus she is now living in a very comfortable house in England with her family. NICK - FROM THE FARM TO NUCLEAR FUSION The life of country lad, Nick, has been a somewhat lop-sided for him to follow really. In his youth he went to boarding school. In his twenties he went to University. Plus by his early forties he was divorced and had a child. Nonetheless, also during this time, Nick decided to go to America and eventually married a nice American lady, whilst studying and teaching the principles of Nuclear Energy over there. Occasionally he travels back to England, and touch base with his brother and his aged parents whenever he can. SIMON - FROM CARED TO CARING Just like most of the other 'participants' of this program, Simon's early life was quite a dark state of affairs in hindsight. Boarding school. Divorced and with kids by his mid thirties. Plus his career was mainly as a domestic packer in a freezer plant. Still, when he married a caring lady in his early forties, Nick's frown turned up-side down. He now has a son who he is proud of. He and his wife are both involved with foster care. Plus instead of transporting frozen boxes around a large warehouse, he is currently transporting baggage around an airport. THE REVIEW: After watching '56 Up' last week, I felt that perception would be the key to this particular installment of this show. Therefore, for a change, I decided to watch this it with my parents, just so I could get a different take of how other people saw this documentary. It was a good idea. My Mother kept on saying "Oh my God! Haven't they aged", whilst sipping her cup of herbal tea. Whereas my Father kept on grumbling under his breath "Poor b*stards. Life was tougher in those days" before scratching his nuts (pistachio) and drinking his tea too. But as for me on the other hand? Questions and Answers. That's all I saw. To elaborate... Question: How do our experiences shape who we are today? Answer: Now this question has been used to promoted this specific incarnation of this series, and I cannot help by surmise that it is an highfalutin one to answer as well. Yes. Past experiences do shape who we are today. Life is what you make of it. And in turn it makes of us what it will.

Getting on each others nerves by the minute. And also waiting to be pitted against a team of 'Ravagers'. Yes again. The Legion have seen better days as well. Now are you thinking what I am thinking? Harvest is. And that's most probably why he sets these teams against each other, compounding matters even more so by adding a fringe group to the mix. One comprising of Thunder, Lightning, Beast Boy, Artemis, Terra, and other's I care not to mention. The Ravagers. POW! BASH! THUD! CLANG! ZIP! And THUD! Overall this bold battle results in a solemnly sad death and a strange new beginning for this constrained adventure. And not a nice new beginning either according to Harvest freshly arrived gang of fiends. To br continued in Superboy #9 What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? As usual with Scott, most of his dialogue in this issue was really great to read. My personal favourite piece was the exchange between Red-Robin and Artemis whilst she was holding a sword to his throat... RED-ROBIN: Move - blink, even - and I'll slice your jugular. ARTEMIS: Actually, my carotid artery is about two inches higher. But you have made your point. Funny and informative. What more can you ask for? What was the BEST thing about this issue? Now this annual was a really nice way of starting this crossover event with other book's that I'll probably never get round to picking up. Listen, this is not a criticism. It is a fact. Plus a complement about how this gala event was introduced to 'us readers' with scope, humor, and a simple manner that wasn't overtly confusing. Tough thing to do considering how many characters were involved. What was the WORST thing about this issue? Although I was happy to see a lot of 'special appearances' in this story, I wasn't too keen to see some of them were 'bad-guys' now. Fuji. Warblade. And of the other Wildstorm player. It gave me the same reaction I had last issues with 'Omen'. Happy yet sad. Moreover, why is Gar red? And why kill off Artemis? Slight nags, I know. But points worth mentioning. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Sometimes simplicity is the best form of creativity. Take the basic structure of this tale for example. (1) Introduce the premise. (2) Introduce the teams of heroes. (3) Pit the heroes to fight against each other. (4) Heroes unite against a common foe. And (5) To be continued.&nbsp; Granted, not the most original structure ever known to man. Nonetheless, it was a good one to use when you have about twenty characters to deal with. ART: Poor Brett Booth. His hand must be killing him after drawing all of those heroes in this book. Good. How dare he make Gar red! Ha! The read thing was my only gripe with Brett's artwork really. The rest of it was up to par, better than I actually expected. Poster worthy. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? TIMBER WOLF: I can see Rupert Grint from 'Harry Potter' fame play this 'Hairy Squatter' from the future the older he gets. Can't you? OK, so he has to do something about that posh accent of his. Plus he also needs a couple of slaps to make him a lot tougher as well. Still, not impossible a task. &nbsp; BEAST BOY: Have a look at Mark Salling from 'Glee', and telCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA[ CLUB-POINTS AT THE READY ]&nbsp; Fighting between teens isn't rare.

Gianni Versace knonoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) It is generally well known that the fashion industry can be a very emotional profession. You see, at times, appearance means everything to the fashionistas, thus propelling an already cosmetic industry into a quagmire of fake nihilism. Gianni Versace knows what I am talking about, as seen in this 45-minute documentary made in 2010. Gianni Versace - Final 24 THE STORY: This episode of 'The Final 24' recounts the life and death of world famous fashion designer, Gianni Versace. Now to help fill in the details of how this innovative legends spent time upon this planet, there's stock photography, archive footage, re-enactments, and interviews by such people as model, Janise Dickenson, Gianni's partner, Antonio D'Amico, plus close friends, colleges, and authors alike. What now follows is a basic overly of what this program entails: THE YOUNG LAD FROM ITALY: Gianni Versace was born in Southern Italy&nbsp;on December 2, 1946. Now from an early age, Gianni gleaned from his seamstress Mother, Francesca, the art of sculpting clothes to a womanly form, which then gave him the incite to pursue a career in this field of work, after a slight diversion into Architecture. Please note though, also during this period, Gianni had to hide his homosexual tendencies as well, because of the stigma attached to this type of sexual persuasion. &nbsp; THE RISE OF THE ARTIST: When Gianni eventually moved to Milan, he found himself work as a fledgling fashion designer, and began to make a name for himself as a dedicated and innovative artist in his own right. Moreover, this was also a location that gave Gianni the ability to express his own homosexual leanings, and a way of channelling his own overworked energies in a more positive direction.&nbsp; THE HOUSE OF VERSACE: Once Gianni's family got behind him, he found himself in a more lucrative position to expand upon his own talents, by opening up the fashion house 'The House of Versace'. Next, he then capitalised on this new state of play by creating some very stylish clothes for celebrities, models, royalty, and even the National Opera, winning some awards in the process. ANDREW CUNANAN: It is pretty safe to say that Andrew Cunanan was a bit of a fantasist all in all. For example; he wanted to be a fashion designer yet he did not have the gumption to pursue this profession. He spoke of his brief encounter with Gianni Versace in a San Francisco night club, as more than what it was. He thought of himself as something special whilst doing drugs and hustling elderly gay gentlemen for money. Plus on top of that, Andrew fooled himself into thinking that he was HIV positive, thus triggering off something within his mind to go on a murderous rampage, and killing four men before setting his sights on Gianni. THE FINAL 24: The last days of Gianni Versace reads as follows. (5) Gianni and his partner,&nbsp;Antonio D'Amico, go to his mansion in South Beach, Florida, so that he can rest up after his treatment of ear cancer. (4) In the morning, both Gianni and Antonio relax on the Beach and then have a walk along the promenade. (3) Later that same evening, they meet up with a neighbor of theirs and watch a movie, before going home to rest for the night. (2) The following day Gianni goes to the newsagent and buys his weekly magazines. (1) Upon returning home Andrew shoots Gianni in the face two times. Gianni dies on the way to the hospital. Andrew kills himself sometime later. THE REVIEW: Now for a brief period of time whilst I was at college, I was given the name 'Versace' for one of the most ironic reasons ever. No. It's not because my mates thought I was a poof. Instead, it was because I used to wear some of the strangest combination clothing known to man. Just picture it for a moment if you will: A white Panama hat - dark glasses - orange, blue, and red, baggy jogging pants - a musky grey sleeveless builder's shirt - bright green socks - and a pair of black plimsolls - in winter.

And neither does Donald Rumbelow. The crime historian who went plenty of place's as a lad. Just like the creative team of Tony Sally Ann Daniel and Szymon Kudranski; with Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Now this continuation of the 'Night of the Owls' saga, entitled 'The Owls take Arkham' we see everyone's favourite mentally deranged physiatrist, Jeremiah Arkham, like Bill Clinton with extra stains. A marked man. To elaborate what I mean by this: Now you would have though that Jeremiah would be sh*ting himself when he heard that 'the Court of Owls' put him on their hit list. But no. He's more than happy to be surrounded by the nuts of Arkham Asylum, and protected by a couple of security guards as well. He was wrong. You see, whilst talking to Black Mask, Jeremiah is attacked by two Talons, whom he quickly evades with the sudden arrival of Batman.&nbsp;Then, once secure in an outpost, Jeremiah devises a two phase attack to get out of this jam. Tear gas and Black Mask. It works after a fashion. Next stop Jeremiah meets Nightwing. In the Two-Face back-up feature, good old Harvey Dent is presented with a propositioned by scum of the Earth, Dominic Sterano - 'Find out who is blackmailing me, and I can make you a free-man once again'. Two-Face agrees. Two-Face hound's flees. Plus Two-face suddenly gets stabbed and drops to his knees. What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Although this sentence wasn't a defining point in this tale, I liked it when Batman said to Nightwing about Jeremiah... 'I'll dump him off on my way' ...as if this Looney head-shrink was a bundle of washing or something. What was the BEST thing about this issue? I found Jeremiahs laid back and debonair attitude about the situation he was in, very relevant to the type of man he is - An overconfident pain in the ass. Moreover, I did get a kick out of the Nocturna cameo (I haven't seen her in ages), plus the way that Clayface and the other nuts came to Batman's rescue (it made me laugh). What was the WORST thing about this issue? As much as I did enjoy watching Batman being saved by his enemies, at the same time it did confuse me as to why they did not attack him first. Granted, I knew that Black Mask had some sort of hold over them. But this was just touched upon very briefly within this tale, and not given a more relatable explanation. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: In the back-up feature I was titivated by the concept that Two-Face was trying to win back his freedom by kicking the living sh*t out of the underworld. I also liked the way that the story ended too. Very 'OH MY GOD'. However, the main part of this Bat-book was very pedestrian, even if it was a marked improvement from last issues wares. More dynamic and focused, whilst giving us an insight into the mind and life of Jeremiah Arkham. ART: Sally Anne's pencils were a bit more murky on this issue than some of his previous efforts. It was as if he forgot who he was supposed to be channelling at times. Frank Miller or Jim Aparo. Also, on a certain level I can say the same thing about Szymon Kudranski as well. Not channelling though. But in murkiness. Very dark. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? JEREMIAH ARKHAM: Jeremy Irons could play this cracked-quack in his sleep. For a start, both of their forenames are similar, right? Plus on top of that, they both look intellectual-bananas who are about to split. &nbsp; BLACK MASK: 'Heroes' good-guy / bad-guy, Adrian Pasdar, once said that he likes to wear a mask while he is perfuming. Granted, he was referring to a 'make-believe' theatrical mask at the time. Still, if the shoe fits? Shoe? Hmmmm? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be?

You know what I mean, huh? Get some buck's for your blogging. I have. And thanks to my mates from Pennsylvania, John and Conrad, one day they sat me down in a diamond encrusted wicker chair and explained to me how to do just that. Here, when you have the time, please check out this interview I had with John whilst we were mugging a politician for the sheer hell of it. Cowabunga! Marketing For Dummies 1) In your own words John, how would you describe your service, the&nbsp;concurnewmedia.com? &nbsp;We are the first Direct Response New Media Marketing Agency.&nbsp;A bit long isn't it? There are a few ways to answer this question really. But in a nutshell, we do direct-response marketing for individuals and companies, and give them a great return on their investments. That's sort of the long winded version, the one I usually tell is "We make your business money". Short, sweet, simple, and directly to the point. 2) What are your own origins, and what was the path you took to get where you are today? &nbsp;Conrad and I have known each other since we were little kids. As we grew up he went off into Radio and Advertising, and I went off into Information Technology and Art. We started talking, and he had this idea for Concur Consulting. And over time we changed over to a complete Marketing Agency. We did a complete shift of our business plan and dropped the whole consulting idea and moved into the marketing arena. Both coming from backgrounds where we were in management and leadership positions it seemed only natural where we would be able to place our talents and skill sets. I moved into handling a lot of the day-to-day operational stuff, and strategy, where he took on the chief strategy and the whole face of Concur. He’s far less shy than I am. 3) What piece of music, movie, or object, would you say your service reflects, and why? &nbsp;This is a really good question and very difficult to answer. Our service and strategies vary so greatly from client to client, and from topic to topic, that it’s really difficult to say this or that song or object reflects us. I’m sure everyone who works for Concur would be able to define a song or movie that reflects them. 4) Do you have any amusing stories you can tell us about? Also, have you had any media recognition. &nbsp;There’s been quite a bit of local media recognition, and a few videos on You Tube. There is even a video somewhere of Conrad speaking on a San Diego news broadcast. As for amusing stories. There was this one time that Conrad and I were meeting at a Dunkin Donuts for coffee, and we went in his car. We both drive Lincoln Town Cars so we have Keyless entry on them, so you can lock your keys in the car and enter your little code on the door and unlock the car. So we meet at Dunkin, finished what we had to do, had our meeting, and headed off out to his car to head home. However, somehow Conrad managed to forget what his keyless entry code was. So we were left stranded at Dunkin for thirty minutes until he could remember what the keyless entry code was. 5) When I had my interview with you and Conrad, it came across that you had quite a lot of business acumen. Are you accredited with any professional bodies? &nbsp;That just comes from a lot of hard work and experience. Business is one part knowledge and one part common sense. Its a lot of quick thinking, and logical deductions. I could probably write an entire book on the topic and place it into an already flooded market, lol. Truthfully, a lot has come with experience. Working other jobs since we were younger and watching what other businesses did. Plus why they did these things. I've said it before, everybody should work at least one job in a bad company, where it’s mis-managed and handled in every way incorrectly. That way you can see what that particular company did that was incorrect, and you can note that so that you don’t make the same mistakes.

You can walk along the street and mumble sinisterly to yourself, whilst listening to the latest piece of Brit-crap on your Brit-Pod. Whereas, at other times, you can watch this pile of filth that was Directed by and Starring Ricky Grover; with Steven Berkoff and Omid Djalili. It was made in 2011, and lasts for 90 minutes. Big Fat Gypsy Gangster THE STORY: Who is Bulla (Ricky Grover)? Gypsy gangster? Hero to his people? Some sort of deranged loon? Or maybe just a misunderstood brute with violent tendencies? That's what American documentarian, Joshua Lou Friedman (himself), wants to know, as soon as Bulla is let out of prison. You see, not so long after Josh sorts out some paperwork with Bulla's financial adviser, Jik Jickels (Omid Djalili), he accompanies him around London, and records his daily activities as he goes along. For example, he witnesses Bulla's sorrow by his mother's graveside. He is then&nbsp;introduced to Bulla's psychic and gangster pals by the side of the road. Plus in addition to&nbsp;this, he becomes intertwined Bulla's antics, when he and his mates hijacks a sightseeing tour bus, and then takes in the view. However, upon visiting Bulla's Aunt Queenie (Laila Morse), in a pub that she owns, Josh begins to hear story's about the person who arrested Bulla all those years ago - corrupt police officer, Detective Conrad (Eddie Webber). Well, since Bulla's incarceration, Conrad has bought out most of his assets, made a name for himself in print, and has begun polluting the streets with drugs, whist debasing Bulla's reputation in the process. So what is Bulla going to do about this, huh? Start up cage fighting? Go to his spiritual advisor, Guru Shah (Steven Berkoff), for some help? And what about this annual head-shrink seasons? Yep. Bulla does all of those. Not that it does him any good. Moreover, he also goes to his Gypsy cousin and persuades her to aide him in setting up a 'battle of the midgets' as well. Though, I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right good time to make a cup of tea I can tell you. As battle-lines are drawn - its brain verses brawn - someone goes into the slammer - and someone else dances to M.C. Hammer. Can't touch this... THE REVIEW: Now there were four main reasons why I wanted to watch 'Big Fat Gypsy Gangster'. Firstly, both Rickey Grover and Omid Djalili are two wonderful character actors, who have proven in the past that they can pull off some very funny comedy pieces. Secondly, when I was a young lad, I really did love watching those 'Bulla' inserts from the '11 O'clock Show', as I genuinely thought it was a lot funnier than either Rickey Gervais or Ali G's stuff. Thirdly, I do know quite a few real life Gypsies from my days at college, and I can say with my hand on my heart, that they are a creed which do need some media spotlight once in a while, just so us so-called 'normal people' know of another way of life.&nbsp; And fourthly, my older brother has been pestering me for ages to watch this film, because he just loves it so much. However, do I love it? Do I feel that this directorial debut by writer / actor, Rickey Grover, is a real piece of satirical art? Or something desperately needing to be scrapped from my shoe? Hmmm. Not sure really. You see, there are things in this film that I really do love - due to the fact that I live near the area depicted in this film, and I can partly-associate with some of the characters on as historical level. Whereas, there are other things in this film that I'm not too keen on - because I feel that this movie is trying too hard to make the audience laugh at times, and goes for the cheep gag or the silly story just for the sake of filler. So what do I normally do when I am confused with a film? Correct - advantage / disadvantage time. ADVANTAGE: (1) All of the principle actors were just great in this movie. Ricky, Omar, Steven, and Laila, were just laugh-out loud funny for the majority of tCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAYou know what? Sometimes it's good to be English.

A bit of och-ei-mein-nu. Followed with a bit of Scooby-dooby-doo. Then topped off by the band Fleetwood Mac. Or maybe Writer: Dan Jurgens; Artist: Aaron Lopresti; and Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Bless 'em. So what’s the STORY morning glory? 'Into the Firestorm' is like drinking washing-up liquid whilst standing on your head. You want to clean your insides out, but this is not exactly the right way of going about it. To explain... Poor Kevin Cho. If it wasn't bad enough that he has been transformed into a mechanised monster called OMAC. Worst still, through no will of his own, he is being forced to beat-up the Justice League as well. However, as luck would have it, the League is able to subdue OMAC, &nbsp;force him down into the sewers, and then talk to him about daisies and buttercups. NOT! Though they might as well have been. Suddenly, out of the blue, the League get a distress call from Paris.&nbsp;Prompting them all to all fly over there and abruptly discover three fire based heroes kicking up a storm, hint, hint! Meanwhile, somewhere else, Breakdown and his colorful colleges enlist a new member to their team, Crosscut. To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Would it be wrong of me if I said that the best sentence in this story was a sound effect? 'Pappt'. It's the sound a rock makes when OMAC is throwing it at Guy Gardner. Well, I found it a very strange choice for an 'action effect' really. I thought something like 'changethecreativeteam' more appropriate somehow. What was the BEST thing about this issue? I liked that bit of the book where it said 'Continued in Firestorm #9'. Ha! Just kidding. Though to be completely honest with you, this issue was not that great a read. Still, I suppose on some level I did enjoy how Godiva's personality shone through more than usual, giving her a strained quality that I find very interesting. What was the WORST thing about this issue? OK, so you have just had a big fight with a big metal monster. You're surrounded by sh*t in a sewer. Plus you are very pissed off too. So what do you do about? Have a nice chat until another problem arises? That's what the League did with OMAC! No. No. No. This was just inane. I hoped that these 'play-school' type-shenanigans were behind us now. I was wrong. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Oh! Not too sure if there was anything very creative in this issue where the story was concerned. But OMAC's conflicted disposition was a nice touch. Plus Godiva's comment about 'The Prince' asking her to join 'League' was a nice little tit-bit as well.&nbsp; ART: I did like it when Guy Gardner turned himself into Ironman to fight OMAC. Nerdish compliment I know. But one still worth mentioning. Also, I did prefer the green tinged pallet used in the sewer section more than the 'day-light' sections. Felt more urbane somehow.&nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? OMAC: Obviously in film the man with the metallic-Mohawk will be mostly computer generated. But wouldn't it be just marvellous if 'Training Day' gangster, Cliff Curtis, encompassed this reluctant hero somehow? Yes? Good reader you. Have a biscuit. CROSSCUT: For this token youth, you need a young actor who comes across as a token youth. How about Kevin McHale from Glee, huh?&nbsp; It'd like to see him getting beaten up in the future. Wouldn't you? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Never Try To Resolve Any Issues. Something Will Always Turn Up To Take Your Mind Off Your Problems. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; Now for the completely wrong reasons, I can only compare this issue with the genre of music called 'Real Jazz '. I hate Real Jazz. It reminds me of someone throwing pots and pans down the stairs.

Well, it's not normally a done deal, is it? Though I can contradict this stance. My mate Adolf does not want to kill or harm anyone at all. In fact, all he wants to do is spread love into this world with his great web-comic, Zurvan Club. Here, check out this conversation I had with him just the other day, whilst we were helping some blind nuns cross a road. The Economics of Web Comics 1) In your own words, how would you describe your web-comic? &nbsp;Well, I’d describe it as a pure adventure novel seasoned with several mystery ingredients. I care much about the script because my intention is to connect all the episodes in a big story. Now I’m working on the second episode that clearly is the continuation of the first one, but I have the third already in mind, all of them connected, (as life itself). I moved away from the classic stripped comic style, because this comic is clearly intended to be read on smartphones, tablets, or computer screens. So landscape orientation rules the layout and people can read the story in their telephone without zooming or scrolling. Some friends after read the comic told me that it looks like “still frames” of a movie and I agree that it could be easily converted in a movie script. 2) What are your own origins, Adolf, and what path did you take to get where you are today? &nbsp;&nbsp;I come from a humble Spanish family and the lack of money taught me to appreciate things when I finally could afford them. Curiosity rules my life and I always want to know more about everything.&nbsp; In my youth I studied Engineering of Telecommunications, but I quickly switched to the amazing and in that time, emerging world of computers. I had the luck to start working on NCR as a night watchman. But then, I realized that when you really like something, you can spend all the time and energy necessaries to achieve your goal.&nbsp; Two years later I was working giving support to the NCR dealers in their special projects. After that, I moved to other companies and spend several years programming and developing applications. I was caught on the fast lane and tasted some of the allegedly great things of the success. But I discovered that fast cars and expensive watches did not fill me up.&nbsp; I love to create and to be proud of my work and in all the projects where I worked, profit was the only important element. I left that world and learned again to live with less money but more time for myself and finally I decided to do something completely different, (as Monty Python says), and took advantage of my knowledge of graphic programs for animation and my accumulated experience. I looked for a creative project that depended only on myself, (and my partner Izara) and here we are, after a year and a half of intensive work, with the first results on the table and eager to move on. 3) Who are your inspirations? Both artistic and story wise. &nbsp;Wow! I’m not precisely young and my whole life I have been reading comics and books, so I probably have a lot of influences. I have been a devoted fan of science fiction books and enjoyed reading stories from the classics as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance, etc. But also liked the adventure novels, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne or Edgar Burroughs to Michael Crichton, Douglas Preston &amp; Lincoln Child or Dan Brown. In the artwork I share my admiration between several masters as Herge and his mentor Edgar P. Jacobs, the recently deceased Jean Giraud “Moebius”, Franquin, Frank Margerin, Liberatore and many more. Unfortunately I have to admit that my drawing skills are limited, so I moved to use computers as a main tool for my artwork. It results in a drawing style that is quite different of all that I have seen on the web until now. I’ll keep working to improve. 4) What piece of music, movie, or object, would you say your web-comic was COMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLANow it not everyday that a chap from London can say that he has had the honor of meeting a very creative chap called Adolf.

Well, do you think that she just swans about willy nilly, and just hopes that everything will just turn out for the best? Or does she prey that a film could convey to people the need to protect her planet? You know, a film like this one Directed by M. Night Shyamalan; and Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel,&nbsp;and Ashlyn Sanchez. It was made in 2008 and lasts for 91 minutes. The Happening THE STORY: Pug-faces science teacher, Elliot Moore (Mark Wahlberg), and his goggle-eyed wife, Alma (Zooey Deschanel), have a major problem on their hands. No. Don't fret. It doesn't have anything to do with their love-less marriage. Instead, it is because an air born virus is making people kill themselves near where they live. Plus in addition to this, when they flee the area, they are then persuaded to look after the daughter of one of Eliot's friends, Jess (Ashlyn Sanchez), because Eliot's pal has to look for his wife amidst this chaos. Still, it could be worse I suppose, this virus could be following them at every move they make. Right? No. Wrong. That's what happens. Ooops! The train station. The country roads. The wilds of the outdoors. Wherever this hapless trio try to find some shelter, them, plus the many other denizens whom also yearn to seek some sanctuary, are hounded by this strange occurrence time and time again. However, over time, Elliot comes to realise certain aspects of how this deadly phenomenon is triggered into the Earth atmosphere. Firstly, he presumes that the virus is produced by plants, and then spreads within the wind. Secondly, he latches onto the fact that this virus has to be inhaled for it to take effect. And thirdly, he comes to the realization that this virus only attacks a large number of people at any given time. Great news for Elliot, Alama, and Jess, right? All they have to do now is find a safe place to stay until all of this mess can calm down. What about if they stay at that old decrepit house boarded up to the nines? BANG! OK, maybe not. But then again there is that house where that crazy old lady lives? That miserable old bag who is as depressing as the state of the economy? Could work. Well, that is probably why what next transpires is as strange as a twelve dollar bill. As winds rush - lovers gush - children blush - and three month later, the French will all turn into mush. THE REVIEW: Now before I blast 'The Happening' into oblivion, please allow me to tell you a personal story about how I feel about this film. Ahem. Many a year ago a not so close friend mind of mine called Aaron died. Well, I knew Aaron from college you see, and he was just someone I would say 'Hi' to whenever we'd met. Anyway, Aaron snuffed it, and one day me and another college mate of mine, Hien, thought that it would be a nice gesture if we went to his funeral. Ooops! Err. The thing was, is that as soon as we both turned up, nigh on everything me and Hien saw just felt funny to us! The lady priest had a voice of a harpy, the body of Beyonce, and whenever she would mention Aaron's name during her eulogy, it sounded like a swarm of seals being gunned down by an army of lepers. Moreover, all of Aaron's family looked like they should be in the cast of 'Goodfellas' [click here for my review], and when Hien commented on how the cemetery was full to capacity, I had to bust a funny by replying back to him with "Yeah - people are just dieing to get into cemeteries nowadays". D'Oh! Dark humour, right? Well, that is what I thought about 'The Happening' really. It just came across as a really serious film that I could not help but laugh at in that rather obtuse way. For example, at the beginning of the film when people were jumping off the building like lemmings - it reminded me of a Monty Python sketch. Then there was that whole bit when Mark says things like "Oh! We should be OK now" or "As long as we keep ahead of the wind", and the very next minute, something bad would happen to tCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAHow does Mother Nature protect the Earth, huh?

He looks like a stout pint of beer. His hands are clawed. His face looks board. Plus he resembles the actor Richard Gere. But then again it could be someone like Writer: Scott Snyder; Artist: Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion; with Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? This particular instalment of the 'Night of the Owls' saga is like J-Lo, Shakira, and Beyonce, all butt-naked and ready to boogie. Nice to follow with your eyes, and with one hell of a back-end. You see, both Bruce and Alfred have a plan in mind to get rid of their Talon infestation from the Batcave. A plan that involves a lot of hard-work, a very fetching piece of body armor, a dinosaur, and a climate control system too. Now in a manner of speaking this plan works! Leaving Batman to suit up and head on out to his nightly patrol, so that he can put a stop this attack once and for all. However, as soon as the Dark Knight updates himself on the current 'Owl situation', he is aghast at what is happening to his City. Attacks. Murders. Plus his allies tying their best to hold their own. Eventually Batman makes his way to the office of Lincoln Marsh, where he is suddenly presented with some very surprising discoveries. Death. Murder. Revenge. And some very important information me thinks. &nbsp; In the back-up feature, Alfred's father, Jarvis, writes a letter to his son, explaining why he had inadvertently caused 'the Wayne's' downfall. Him and an owl?!?! What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? Batman's closing remarks about 'The Court of Owls' was pure Clint Eastwood... 'They came to my house. Now I am going to burn theirs down'. You have got to love a bit of Clint. What was the BEST thing about this issue? There are many things to really like about this tale all in all. I enjoyed the fight with the owls. I loved it when the dinosaur stamping his presence onto the proceedings. Plus the Lincoln Marsh scene and the back-up feature was a right blast too. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. What was the WORST thing about this issue? This book is pure bliss. The only way I can fault it is to say that DC should give it to me for free. Say no more, ha! What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Although within the story it acted as a throw-away piece of suspense, that scene when Batman went into Lincoln March's office, only for Lincoln to shoot a gun and say 'Bruce Wayne' in turn... well... that was blooming fantastic!!! My heart skipped a beat before I flicked to the next page. Perfect. Also, the whole Jarvis back-story was a well constructed and mysterious tale too. It had a very nice mixture of narration, flashbacks, and 'live action', complemented with a candle light tone that suited this tale down to the ground. ART: Both of the artists on this book were really-really great. Greg Capullo has that grainy style that is one part urbane and one part coy. Whereas Jonathan Glapion work has really shone in this issue, capturing a rustic tone with a melancholy attitude. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? JARVIS: OK, I know that he has been dead for quite a long time now. But if we could bring him back to life, I am sure that old school English actor and one time Scrooge, Alistair Sims, would do Alfred's papa justice. LINCOLN: Look at him God damn it!! Doesn't Josh Brolin from the film 'Milk' look like a man that would do right by his City. I did say 'look' remember.&nbsp;&nbsp; If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Do You Have A Owl Infestation? Call BAT-DINOSAUR Now For A Free Estimation. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; OK, so this issue was basically a 'fight for survival' type tale, agreed? Plus it also had a suspenseful element to it as well. One that dipped in and out whenever it wanted to.

Or would you get a couple of mate's together and talk a lot of sh*t for an hour and a half? No? Well these chaps did! Comedians: Eddie Izzard, Harry Enfield, Alan Rickman, Vic Reeves, Jonathan Ross, Paul Whitehouse, Jack Dee, and many-many more. Plus they did it in 2001 too! We Know Where You Live THE STORY: Sometime in 2001, a bunch of celebrities all got together, and performed a live show in Wembley Stadium, London, all with the intent of raising some money for Amnesty International. To aide people who have had their civil liberty's taken away from them. Cleverly, this show&nbsp;is divided into the following sections: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now the host of this show is none other than Eddie Izzard himself, who introduces onto the stage the following performers, amidst his plethora of gags. The comedians in attendance are people such as Richard Blackwood, Harry Hill, Dom Joly, Jonathan Ross, Phill Jupitus, Sean Lock, Vic Reeves, Alan Rickman, Paul Whitehouse, Harry Enfield, Jeremy Hardy and Dave Lamb. Next, the musician playing their songs, are those like Badly Drawn Boy, U2, Tom Jones, and the Stereophonics Also, there are a number of video inserts sprawled throughout the show, where celebrities congratulate Amnesty upon their fortieth year in existence. For example, Colin Firth, Dawn French, Richard E. Grant, Kate Moss, Jonathan Ross, Emma Thompson, Tim Roth, Jack Dee, Julie Walters and Johnny Vegas. What now follows are a couple of my favorite jokes from this live program: Bees make honey, so what do spiders make? Gravy? The subject, 'History of Art', is like 'Geography of French'. Basically it's put these painting in chronological order, which can't be difficult, because they have the dates stamped at the bottom of the frame. OI! IZZARD! NO! Put on a f*cking dress and stop confusing us! You've come out of the closet, an we all know that your a nonce!!! Did you know that sharks will only attack you if you're wet? My daughter brought a boy home the other day. I warned him I did, I said if you so much as look at her the wrong way, I'd cut you. He cried. Bloody seven year old. Why is it that big boxers and small little girls are the only people who skip? I know that a lot of other comedians say this, but I did have a hard time getting here today. It started with a very traumatic childhood... First there was Pope John. Then there was Pope John Paul. So you know where they are going with this next - Pope John Paul George and Ringo. Not just jockeys, but all small people should wear a number. Why is it that the police keep on arresting innocent people? Simple, they are easier to catch. THE REVIEW: In the seventies, the 'Monty Python' crew and some of the members of 'Beyond the Fringe', all got together and performed a live charity event on behalf of Amnesty International, called 'The Secret Policemen's Ball'. Since then, their have been about four of these 'balls' in total, until Eddie and company decided to change the format in 2001, with 'We Know Where You Live'. Conceptually, there isn't that much difference between 'Ball' and 'Live' really, except for the people involved of course, and that the overall presentation of this show is much more slicker in content. Still, what does any of this matter within the scheme of things, huh? Entertainment is entertainment in the face of charity. And if you have seen the video clip up above, then I am sure you can get the basic gist of what I trying to saying by watching a similar 'Ball' video clip just below.

But then again it could be something created by Writer: James Robinnoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ NEW EARTH - NEW SALE ]&nbsp; A new world has finally begun. Its like the rising of the new morning sun. Happy at first. Then comes' a quick burst. Of the comedy called 'The Naked Gun'. But then again it could be something created by Writer: James Robinson; Artist: Nicola Scott; with Publisher: DC Comics in April 2012. Plus a twist of lime. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Just like the purchase of a new washing machine, this issue, entitled 'The Price of History', is both clean and innovative at the same time. Now to explain to you what I mean by this, please allow me to highlight what the essence of this new Earth is all about... Once upon a time a sh*t load Parademons from the planet Apokolips begun to ravage the world. Leaving it is up to Earth heroes, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, to save the day. Eventually this gallant group manages to accomplish this very arduous task. But I am afraid to say that in doing so, it also had some very regrettable results as well. Meanwhile, check out these new additions: Al Pratt is a grunt in the army who was involved in defending the nation from the Parademon attack. Alan Scott is the youthful owner and CEO of Gotham Broadcasting Company, who has made a documentary about the fallen hero's fate.&nbsp; Jay Garrick is a twenty something upstart with no direction in life. Although the despondent God, Mercury, thinks otherwise. To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I liked the exchange between Batman and Robin myself. Particularly... ROBIN: ... then... Dad. Daddy. No. BATMAN: There's no 'don't' today either. I must. Oh my brave wonderful soldier. Live for me. I love you, Helena.&nbsp;&nbsp; BOOOM! Reminds me of an old war time drama, where a brave soldier sacrifices himself to save a loved one. What was the BEST thing about this issue? Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, and Al Pratt, are three heroes whom I have really enjoyed reading about since I knew of the existence of the Justice Society of America. Granted, this particular incarnation is a 'reboot'. I know. Nonetheless, that does not take away my enjoyment of what has been presented so far, because it does appears to be a mixture of the old and the new. Very intriguing indeed. What was the WORST thing about this issue? I am not sure why the big three had to snuff it in this book. Couldn't they have just disappeared or something? Or smash them up a bit, just so they could pop up here and there? They were in the original JSA you know. Although in a somewhat diluted form. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Personally speaking I found the whole book very creative. I liked the 'old for new' concept running through this story, giving me a 'differentiating perspective', as if I have seen it before yet hadn't. Also, the idea that Robin is Batman's daughter is a great notion to rehash, plus the Jay Garrick / Mercury connection too. ART: The only real thing that I liked about the previous Teen Titans series was Nicola's Scott art. Well, his bold yet new line work really suits a book like this one down to the ground. Moreover, I have to say that the stand out for me in this yarn was his design of Mercury - it just screams 'Golden Age' to all in sundry. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? WONDER WOMAN: To pick someone to play this battle scorned vixen is a no-brainer, huh? You need a pretty lady whose has the physique of an Amazon, the beu... oh... sod it. Lucy Lawless. Simple as that. SUPERMAN: OK, so if Lucy is Wonder Woman, wouldn't it be great if Bruce Campbell was Superman? OK, he'd need to tone up a bit and dye his hair. Plus splash a lot of make-up on too. But I am sure that mister shop S-smart could do it no problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? What Was Once Old Is Not New.

For example: (1) Paramount Pictures released their new biblical picture 'The Ten Commandments'. (2) Carl Perkins' song 'Blue Suede Shoes' first entered the music charts. (3) 'Norma Jeane Mortenson' legally changed her name to 'Marilyn Monroe'. Plus (4) It was the same year that the people in this one hour documentary were born in. 1956. Or maybe 1957. Not 2012. The Up Series THE STORY: In 1964 the British current affairs program 'World In Action', begun to document the lives of twelve children born seven years previously. Since then, however, for every seven years hence, these people lives have been continuously captured by this show, preserving their growth over the course of their lifetime. They're 56 now. And this instalment of '56 up' explains what they are currently up to. What now follows is a break-down of four of these twelve participants. SUE: CONTENT WITH KIDS At a young age, London girl, Sue, wanted to see some life before she got married, had kids, and settled down. She didn't. Not really. She got married in her mid-twenties. She had two kids in her late twenties. She got divorced when she was in her thirties. And for quite some time she was as a hard working single parent mother until she eventually met her current partner, Glen, in her forties. Today, though, Sue has a very nice life. She is a head administrator at a University, and is still very close with her children. Moreover, she is also a member of an amateur dramatics society, and takes part in shows and functions associated with her hobby and her vocation. PAUL: THE AUSTRALIAN ONE Although Paul was estranged from his parents at a very early age, he still managed to move over to Australia and settled down with a very nice lady called Susan. Now after a period of travelling the Australian outback, whilst working as a labourer, Paul eventually bought his own house and had a family of his own. Today he is a proud Grandfather who works as a 'handy man' with his loving wife in a 'Retirement Village' nearby. NEIL: FINDING A STABLE PLACE IN AN INSTABLE WORLD Neil was born in Surrey and had a chance to go to University. But regrettably, due to a mental condition he contracted, he traveled around the United Kingdom quite a lot over the preceding years. He squatted in London at 21. He was homeless in Scotland at 28. He was living in a council estate at 35. He was a Liberal Democrat councillor for Hackney at 42. And currently he is living on his own in a small village in Cumbria, acting as 'lay reader' and as a 'borough councillor'. PETER: THE SOUND OF A GENERATION Like his school friend Neil before him, Peter also had political aspirations of his own. Also, he wanted to be a school teacher too. Which he did. For a short while. Until he fell out of love with this profession, as well as this series also. Currently Peter is musician in a band called 'The Good Intentions', with a wife, Gaby, two children, and living a relatively creative and logical life, whilst working in the Civil Service. To be continued... THE REVIEW: This is it. This is the documentary that made me fall in love with documentary film-making. OK, I have to admit, not this particular instalment of '56 up'. Oh no. Most probably a previous incarnation of this series. '42 up' or something. Mainly because I was just so intrigued by the concept behind this program, I felt the urge within me to follow it whenever I popped up. Well, could you just imagine what it must be like to have your life chronicled in this manner? With certain things you have said and done in the past repeatedly coming back to haunt you every seven years or so? Personally speaking, I like to think of this 'captured record' as a form of strange and alternate family album, where you and the general public can see your younger self say one thing and your current self say something else. I suppose it just goes to show that people change over time, and that no matter how much you preCOMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA1956 was a year in which many different events happened.

Writenoreply@blogger.com (Jay Andrews) [ SHOT TO SALE ]&nbsp; Get ready for the Omega Effect. It's like a strange version of Star Trekked. Though I have been wrong on occasion. Like Daredevil with an abrasion. When he wore his glasses on his brecht. Well, that's what these guys told me. Writer: Mark Waid; Artist: Marco Checchetto; and Publisher: DC Comics in May 2012. So what’s the STORY morning glory? In this final part of the 'Omega Effect' cross-over event, we see our happy go trio of... err... hmmm... 'reluctant allies', attempt to get themselves out of another nice mess they have gotten themselves into. Stanley. But is this possible? The Megacrime 'crime syndicate' has overpowered Daredevil in a deluge of henchmen. And even when Spiderman and Punisher dive in to save him from this strange looking stampede, afterwards, they discover that Punishers female 'side-kick', Cole, has run off with the Omega-Drive. Bugger. Now it up to Daredevil to rush to the rescue. Tracking her and talking her down before someone bites the bullet. Bang! Which is possible. Right kids? What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I hope that most of you got the Spiderman 'Magoo' gibe to Daredevil. It is a reference to the blind bumbling statesman called Mister Magoo, who was a cartoon character devised by 'United Productions of America' in 1949. Not politically correct, I know. But funny nonetheless. What was the BEST thing about this issue? My favorite scene in this book was the one in which Daredevil had to talk down Cole because she had the Omega-Drive in her possession. I always find it very pertinent that heroes try to resolve their dilemmas in a less violent manner. Or otherwise it adds precedence to the age old adage of - 'Violence, begets violence'. What was the WORST thing about this issue? As a conclusion to a story goes, I am afraid to say that this 'event' has not really done much to the 'status quo' of each titles. Spideman is the same. Punisher still has his gun. And Daredevil still has it drive. Small gripe, I know. But needs to be said. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Without wanting to repeat myself again, but the only thing worth mentioning story-wise that was original, was - you guessed it - the Daredevil talk down. I also liked the character interaction too. Very diametric in many different ways. With Spiderman the Marvel 'archetypal' hero. With Punisher the Marvel 'archetypal' anti-hero. And with Daredevil in-between the two. ART: Marco Checchetto draws a very mean and tight silent sequence of panels. I particularly enjoyed that segment when Daredevil was tracking down Cole, because visually no words were required. Nice one Marco. Poster material for sure. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? COLE: It has been known that actress, Evan Rachel Wood, enjoys hanging out with strange characters. Like Marilyn Manson for example. So why not our gaggle of 'super-chums', huh? PUNISHER: To me, Russell Crowe always looks like an actor that would rather shoot you in the face than kiss you on the lips. Seems like a perfect match for this gun-wielding hero of the Marvel Universe, right? If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Quit Your Jibber Jabber Off Of My Omega-Drive Sucker. Or Else I Shoot You With Paaaaaaiiiiin. Sarah Palin.&nbsp; If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; OK, so this story was a fairly nice read that teamed up three characters, and never really went anywhere. 'Spiderman and His Amazing Friends' anyone? Ha! FINAL thoughts... I did say last review that it was possible that this 'Omega Effect' cross-over might be a bit of a dud all in all. And I suppose in part I was really. Though on the other hand it wasn't that bad a read, and had some very enjoyable segments throughout. Better luck next time Marvel. Not Mark Waids fault. It is never Waids fault. HahahAHHAH!!! MARKS out of 10? 7.5 COMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLA[ SHOT TO SALE ]&nbsp; Get ready for the Omega Effect.

Unforgiven THE STORY: America - 1880 - and a young wannabe outlaw, called The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett), bestows onto one time legendary assassin, William Munny (Clint Eastwood), a very simple proposition... "Come with me to Texas Will, as a bunch of prostitutes have placed a bounty on the heads of two cowboys, due to the fact that they have disfigured one of their own". Regrettably, though, William refuses the kid's offer straight away. He has a farm to tend to. Two children to feed. A dead wife's memory to preserve. Plus he is a bit rusty when is comes to killing folks for a living. However, not so long after the kid and William parts ways, William changes his mind about this matter, as he desperately needs some money so he can provide for his kin. Therefore, he travels to his old friend place, Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman), and asks Ned if he and his wife can look over his children for him, whilst he is away. Ned's wife does - whereas Ned accompanies William on his mission. Meanwhile, over in Texas, the sheriff of this province, Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman), is a very emotional man at the moment. For example, he is somewhat happy that the house he is building is coming along 'just fine'. Next, he is somewhat irritated that the prostitutes have placed a bounty on the head of the cowboys who did them injustice. And in top of that, he is somewhat violent when British maverick, English Bob (Richard Harris), rides into town, and stakes a claim on this said same bounty. Heck, Bill is so violent, that he beats up Bob, he disgraces Bob, and he forces him to leave his jurisdiction with his tail in-between his legs. Moreover, he does that same thing too when William turn up too! Damn! Still, three days after all of this happens, the times change as quickly as the wounds heals from Williams beating. And I suppose that is why what next transpires is a right rooting tooting free for all I can tell you! As death comes in three's - culprits are hung by trees - vengeance comes a knocking - and some men will never be stopping. An End. THE REVIEW: OK, I have to be honest with you, 'Unforgiven' is one of my all time favourite classic westerns in cinematic history. The story is simple yet multi-layered. The ambience is moody and atmospheric in ton. The casting is inspired . And it also comes with one simple ingredient to make it stand out from the crowd, Clint Eastwood. You see, Clint brings something to this movie that no other actor ever could - his own association with this genre, a humility that is purely his own, plus a way of looking at things that is very fresh and dynamic. To elaborate: (1) The inclusion of the W. W. Beauchamp character, as played by Saul Rubinek, is a very cleaver plot device that is at the core of this film, because conceptually, it shows how history is always being re-written by the media. You see, for many years now, most of Clint's projects have had an alternate yet truthful take on popular fiction, conveying that not always see what you believe. In many ways Beachamp is the precursor too many of the films Clint saw when he was a child - perverting youthful minds with a fictionalised version of the truth. (2) The William Munny character is easily an evolution of some of the other maverick outlaws Clint has played when he was younger. It was very nice to see that Clint recognized this aspect within William, thus giving him the opportunity to dabble about within his own myth, whilst expanding upon a new one.

Or is it Freddy Mercury? Because he does wear a lot of Burberry. Plus he looks very-very queer. Just like Writer: Cullen Bunn; Artist: Paul Pelletier; and Publisher: Marvel Comics in May 2012. Now let's dance baby. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Part one of 'Rot' asks a very important question indeed - who is Wolverine? Now to a young kid living in the Bronx, he's the mutant who killed two people on the street outside of where he lives. To two members of staff working at the Jean Grey School Higher Learning, Kitty and Rachael, he is their headmaster who is wanted by the police. And to Wolverine himself? Hmmm. Don't know. A plagued man who keeps on blanking out for no apparent reason what so ever? A fighter who beats up shape-shifters at Dunwich Sanatorium to find out the reason why? Or a specimen ready to be controlled again by a masked butcher? To be continued... What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? The running Wolverine commentary was very nice to read in this tale. I especially liked... 'Hard to resist a girl with that much charm and sass. But it has never been that safe for normal folk to live around me. Now... more than ever... I have to be alone'. Has an almost 'Hard Boiled' detective quality to it, huh? What was the BEST thing about this issue? I enjoyed the 'seventies vibe' that this tale is dowsed with, as if it was written back in the day by Marv Wolfman or a writer of that ilk. I just found that this story was very grounded throughout, and had a very nice even and stoic pace to it too. Great. What was the WORST thing about this issue? If truth be told there wasn't that much to gripe about with this issue really. Granted, I would have preferred some witty dialogue of some kind. Or maybe a more shocking and bold tale. But by in large this book was pretty solid.&nbsp;&nbsp; What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: Now this issue has been my introduction to Cullen Bunn's style of story. So far, I have to confess, I really do dig it. His stuff seems to have that simple yet nostalgic way of unravelling themselves. Very nice to read overall.&nbsp; ART: Paul Pelletier's artwork on this book was just fantastic. Heck, on some level it's even better than what he did on 'The Incredible Hulks', because it has a very 'Alan Davis' quality about its construction and execution. If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? WAITRESS: As soon as I saw that pretty waitress give Logan a beer, I thought to myself "Yes. Jaime Pressly please".&nbsp; Both for me and this role. SCHOOL KID WITH THE AFRO: OK, I do not know who the girl in the picture actually is. Or if she is even alive or not. Nevertheless, if you do know her, please tell her that she should play this girl I do not know the name of. OK? Much appreciated. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Suffering From Black Outs And Indigestion? Stab Someone Quick. It'll Get Better Soon. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; So this tale feels seventies inspired. Entails someone wanting to control someone else's actions. And it has a fight in a rustic house as well. Hmmm. What about the Clint Eastwood film 'Play Misty For Me'? As it does fit on a certain level. FINAL thoughts... Generally speaking, I find that it is difficult for a new creative team to do something new on a book, particularly when the last team were so well respected. However, I have to give Kudos to both Cullen and Paul for doing such a great job in this issue, because it looks like it will be a very promising ride from here on in. Marvelous in fact.

It was Jerry Lewis' fault really. I saw him in the film 'The Nutty Professor' and I thought to myself that by screwing up my face and saying 'Nyak-Nyak-Nyak' every five minutes or so, that would be an appropriate thing for me to do. However, my Mother thought otherwise. And she'd say to me 'Stop doing that. Or otherwise it would stay that way for the rest of your life'. But to be perfectly honest with you, I did not really understand her reasoning at the time. It wasn't like I had a tattoo or something. And needed a... Tattoo Removal Clinic Oh! Funnily enough, while I am on the subject of 'tattoo removal', let me tell you a story about my cousin Roy. Now Roy, like many other members of my family I care not to mention, is a strangely tribal person by nature. You see, in the past, he has had a need within himself to scrape some ink onto his skin whenever he fell in love. Written on his left leg he has his first wife's name. Pam. Written on his right arm he has his second wife's name. Linda. Plus written on the bridge of his butt he has his third wife's name. Gilda. Still, do you think that his fourth wife, Tina, likes to see all of these names written all over her husband? No. Of course she doesn't. So Roy got me to 'do a Google' to see what I could come up with. Thankfully, I eventually discovered a really nice place called MEDermis Laser Clinic. They are one of the world’s leading specialists in tattoo removals, having successfully removed over 200,000+ tattoos in their time. They have bases in Arlington, Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. Moreover, they also provide a safe, effective, and very cost effective removal service, using the most state of the art technology designed by the best people in the business. Well, Roy thought they were great. Because they did get rid of Pam, Linda, and Gilda, as quickly as he got rid of Tina. Though I suppose Tina did cost a lot more to remove in hindsight. Especially since she is a somewhat... errr... tough cookie, with a very forcible kick to the nut-sack. OUCH ! Roy never saw that one coming I can tell you. Unlike his new love, Madeleine, who was the nice lady who took his tattoo away for him. COMIC,BOOKS,MOVIE,REVIEWS,BATMAN,WOLVERINE,FLASH,HULK,JLAWhen I was a kid I just loved to pull funny faces.

Be it a corruption of a file on your computer. Be it a corruption of a member of parliament. Or be it a corruption of a spiritual means as well. However, corruption of a movie is something else all together! As depicted in this film Directed by Sidney Lumet; and Starring: Al Pacino, Tony Roberts, and John Randolph. It was made in 1973, and lasts for 130-minutes. Serpico : The Film - The Book THE STORY: It's pretty safe to say that honest cop, Frank Serpico (Al Pacino), is very emotional and eccentric man indeed. For example; he is over the moon when his Italian American mother gives him some cash so that he can move into his own apartment. He is amused by his work college's distain for his grungy appearance and bohemian behavior. He just loves his sheepdog and his promotion up the ranks. But he hates it when a corrupt cop gives him some money so he can go on 'the take' with him. In fact, Frank does not like the idea of police corruption in his department to such a degree, that he goes to an old friend of his, Bob Blair (Tony Robert), to sort this matter out by contacting those 'on high'. However, this does not really go according to plan - twice - and Frank is really left up sh*t creek, especially when his police colleges don't like the idea that Frank does not want to comply with their shady endeavors. Worst still, is that over time Frank starts to become so frustrated with the sticky situation he is in, he begins to push his friends away from him. Poor Frank, all he wants to do is to carry out his job properly, right? Isn't their any light at the end of the tunnel for him? Hmm. Funnily enough, there is. You see, due to some of Frank's previous attempt to sort this problem out, word reaches Chief Sidney Green (John Randolph), who acts as an internal affairs investigator for the police force. So now with him by Frank's side, together, they then manage to get this issue handled within a court of law. Good news, right? Err, depends on your perspective really.&nbsp;Though I suppose that is why what next transpires if a right roller-coaster ride of law and order I can tell you. As the media come into play - tribunals cannot pay - officers are shot - and Franks has had his lot. A beginning... THE REVIEW: When I first watched 'Serpico' whilst I was at University a couple of years ago, I have to admit, that it was a very strange experience for me at the time. You see, during that period of my life, I was very much like Al's character. No - please don't get the wrong idea - I wasn't some sort of undercover Narc who was fighting corruption in the student union bar. Instead, I was a very bohemian looking character who wore very loud clothes, sported a mullet and a beard, and had a very honest outlook on life - too honest in fact. So you can imagine how I felt when I first watched this film! Confused and surprised to say the least. Please note, I do mean this in a very positive way of course. As this true crime thriller is just a blast through and though. The acting is great. The story is expansive. The style is pure Lumet. And overall, it is masterful piece of true-life dramatization. Look at the facts: (1) This film originally came about because it was supposed to be a vehicle for the Paul Newman and Robert Redford partnership, due to their success in the movie, 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. Redford was to play Frank Serpico, and Newman was to play his lawyer, David Durk. (2) Strangely enough, this film was recorded in reverse order, with Al's hair and beard being trimmed bit by bit. (3) The real Frank Serpico spent a lot of time with Al Pacino before filming so that he could get into his role better. During filming though, he was told to leave by producer, Marty Bregman, because he believed that his presence would prove detrimental to Al. (4) John G.

Zatanna knows what I mean. Deadman is just mean. And John wants to take a hit off some grass. Unlike Writer: Peter Milligan; Artist: Daniel Sampere; and Publisher: DC Comics in May 2012. No. Their 'hits' are purely in the face. So what’s the STORY morning glory? Part three of 'The Rise of the Vampires' cross-over event, just illustrates why you should never trust the dead. They'll stiff you for all of the wrong reasons.&nbsp; Well, Madam Xanadu presumed that her three phase plan would work out alright in the end. (Step 1) Get John and Deadman to persuade Andrew Bennett to return to the land of the living. (Step 2) She, herself, will ride to the astral plane, and ask some big fat Buddah chap to 'realign' something or another back on Earth. And (3) Zatanna and Shade will defend her physical presence whilst she is doing this. Seems like a straight forward plan, right? But no. Shade buggers off to God know where because his M-Zest goes on the blink. PLus on top of that, Caine hounds Zatanna and Xanadu with every move they make. Sh*t! Thank God John and Deadman arrive before things get any worse. Make that two dead-men.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What is the most memorable SENTENCE OR CONVERSATION spoken in this issue? I know that it was not meant to be funny, but I did find it amusing when Zatanna said to that Vampire 'Pord Daed!' ('Drop Dead' backwords). As if it was an appropriate thing to say to someone who is already un-dead. Ha! What was the BEST thing about this issue? There was an indolent tone all the way through this story, one that just did not give a toss about how people felt or why they should feel it. It is a though this book has turned into the spirit of 'Dirty Harry', and has decided what it wants to show and how it wants to show it. OK, I know that this does sound like a strange thing to say. But think of it as a more ethereal and spiritual vibe, rather than a physical one. What was the WORST thing about this issue? Now I am not saying that this was the worst-worst thing that I have ever seen, but the way that the Shade just pissed off was a really strange way for him to go. One minute he's doing his hero bit. Next his Vest goes Boom for no apparent reason what so ever. And finally he walks off into the sunset with some girl. Horses for courses I suppose. What was the most CREATIVE thing about this issue? STORY: The purgatory sequence was a nice one all in all. It had a nice jovial and muted exuberance compared to the rest of the tale. Plus I did enjoy watching John and Deadman's 'Abbot and Costello' act again. Also, the way that they both ripped there way out of this dimension? Ha! Pure Nicholson. ART: The splash pages and the colouring are really great on this book. I've seen some of Daniel Sampere's recent work on 'Wolverine'. But it did not look as polished as it does now, thanks to digital colourist, Admira Wijaya. Clean. Sharp. And jam packed with style.&nbsp; If you had to CAST TWO CHARACTERS in this comic book, who would they be and why? CAINE: Doesn't one time 'He Man', Dolph Lundgren, look like he could take charge of an army of the un-dead? Look behind the eyes. No emotion. SHADES GIRL, KATHY: Jennifer Connelly always looked like the type of an actress who would fall in love with a nut. She did it in 'The Hulk' movie, huh? So it is possible. If this issue had a MOVIE TAG LINE, what would it be? Never Trust The Vampires With Your Washing. You'd Never Get The Blood Stains Out. If this issue were a MOVIE, an OBJECT, or a piece of MUSIC, what would that be and why?&nbsp; OK, so in this story something unexpected happens twice. Plus it has a rather punk edge to it too. Hmmm. 'God Save The Queen' by the Sex Pistols? Why not. FINAL thoughts... Compared to some of the other instalments of this series, I am afraid to say that this one was not that great a read.
