Corrupt World

Everywhere I look I see good, honest men with broken hearts and ignorant, selfish assholes with all the women.  We truly live in a corrupt world. 

Currently Reading: THE RISING by Brain Keene

THE RISING
by Brian Keene

I'm over halfway through this one and sadly I'm a little disappointed.  It's not nearly as enthralling as the last novel of his I read, DARK HALLOW.  And in terms of being a novel about zombies (supposedly-I have a skewed definitions of what I consider them to be) I find it only somewhat interesting.  I feel like since zombies are something I know a lot about, and since I'm such a huge fan of the genre, I feel like there needs to be something more to impress me with. 

In addition to that, the story takes place from the perspective of several different characters simultaneously.  I'm sure ultimately they come together in the end, but honestly this is one of the aspects that I least admire about the book thus far.

It is a good book, however.  It's well written and has a fairly interesting plot.  It just doesn't feel unique or fresh.  The zombie genre has been so played out it's really going to take a lot to stand out.  I'll just be patient and hope there's a kick-ass ending. 

SUPERMAN vs. PREDATOR

SUPERMAN vs. PREDATOR
written by: David Michelinie
art (pencils) by: Alex Maleev


I know this may sound ridiculous, but it's actually very good.  The plot is understandable and makes sense in the world of comics.  It's not just Superman fighting a Predator.  There's depth to this story, like most of what's written by David Michelinie.  I know him from his great run on INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (volume 1) that he accomplished with Bob Layton (who aside from Adi Granov is my favorite artist to have ever worked on the character).  Probably the most noted work of Michelinie is AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #300, which is the first full appearance of VENOM, which he is accredited as the co-creator (alongside artist Todd McFarlane) of this villainous Spidey-foe.

In this three issue story, a small group of scientists stumble upon an alien space craft in the jungle that belongs to a  Predator.  Superman follows Lois Lane to the site to make sure the craft is safe for studying.  Upon opening the vessel Superman is infected with a virus that hinders all of his abilities and powers.  Superman joins the group as they discover the ship is being used by a morally corrupt, Darwinistic scientist who wants to rid the world of the weak in order to further the progression of the human race.  Superman attempts to stop the scientist while the Predator lurks looking to take back what's his, or destroy every shred of its existence. 

I felt both central characters were appropriately and unbiasedly written.  So if you're a fan of either or both you'll enjoy it.  Maleev's art may not be typical for Superman but it doesn't degraded the book.  There's equal parts of action, drama, suspense, and gore which I really like.

Overall it's a worthy read if you're looking for an unusual comic to read.  It will surprise you!

Good and Bad: Comics Inconsistency

I've recently read an issue of INCREDIBLE HULK (issue #606).  It's a fantastic issue with a great story that builds in the "Fall of Hulks" storyline.  It also has tremendous art. 

After reading it though, I couldn't help but wonder why comics are so temperamental.  By that I mean they are wildly inconsistent, being great one issue then miserable the next.  I can't figure this out.  It mainly has to do with the Marvel comics I read (Hulk, Spider-Man, The Avengers).  Why can't there be any consistent quality output. 

When Stan Lee created these characters it seemed like they were all amazing.  That was the "Golden Age" of Marvel.  But now there's so many different storylines and so many different characters that it's hard to keep up with.  On top of that, one of the reasons, if not the main one, is the constant fluctuation of creators.  Marvel is really bad with this.  They are always changing writers and artists.  It really gets annoying. I'll get into a series and it seems to be clicking.  The story is there and the art is wonderful.  Then, the next issue there's a different artist and I am taken aback.  I can't understand. 

Perhaps it's not the company.  Maybe it's the creators themselves.  Maybe they get tired of the same characters and want to move on.  I doubt that.  Many of these writers and artist love these characters and don't grow tired of them easily.  Plus, I'm sure they love the consistent work that working on the same series for an extended period of time would provide.  Take Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley for example.  They worked together on ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN for one hundred and eleven issues.  That's the record for the longest continuous run on a mainstream Marvel superhero comic.  That beat Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's record.  I'm sure that was a pleasure for them to do, and more would do it if they had the chance.

This sporadic upheaval has caused me to grow tired and weary of comics.  I still love them and I will probably always read them (I might even be able to write them), but I can't stick with these major titles when they change so much, so often.  

My favorite on-going series is THE WALKING DEAD created by Robert Kirkman.  He is still the writer going on issue 72.  There have been only two different artists.  It's consistently pleases me.  Now this is a creator-owned series.  That means Kirkman owns it and IMAGE publishes and distributes it.  That tells me something--Kirkman wants to keep writing it.  He loves to do so.  He likes the series.  He doesn't want it to change so dramatically in terms of whose writing it.  I feel more writers and artists would do so, given the chance. 

Movie Review: ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2010)

ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2010)
Directed by: Tim Burton
Written by: Linda Wolverton
Based on the books by Lewis Carrol

This movie is one of Tim Burton's best. It's great! It far exceeded my expectations. It's a lot of fun and a great movie-going experience. The story is solid and seems to be an acceptable, supposed 59-year old remake (from Disney's 1951 animated film of the same name). It flows surprisingly well, picking up steam as it unfolds. It's not too convoluted in the fantasy realm to the point of irritation. It's relatively easy to follow, unless you are completely unfamiliar with the characters.

And speaking of the characters--they are stupendous. I found them all to be extremely fascinating and entertaining, drawing upon the classic characters and adding to their dynamism. Mia Wasikowska does surprising well as Alice. Johnny Depp's weirdness might not be my sha-bang but if you're a fan you should love his Mad Hatter. The voice acting is truly superb throughout. Michael Sheen (White Rabbit), Alan Rickman (Blue Catepiler), and Stephen Fry (Chesire Cat) all give admirable performances.

The special effects are very good. I love the incorporation of live-action and CGI. It's not unlike AVATAR in that regard. I found it all to be a noble, and ambitious, effort that really seems to pay off, especially with the big climatic end. I was amazed more than a couple of times.

I had thought that I wasn't a big fan of Tim Burton's, but after seeing this movie I realize he's still an extremely talented director that has one of the most unique visions in hollywood. I am a fan. And, along with BEETLEJUICE and ED WOOD, his interpretation of ALICE IN WONDERLAND is among his best pieces of work.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit and I'm glad to see Tim Burton making fun and enjoyable movies. I'd be more than happy to see more.

Overall Rating = 8.9/10.0

Neighbors

I finished reading DARK HOLLOW. One theme throughout the novel that I found fascinating was the theme of neighbors. The character is not only acquainted with his neighbors but they are his best friends. Nowadays that's truly uncommon. The character points that out on two occasions. He says that no one knows their neighbors anymore. We just pass each other exchanging nodding hellos and other pleasantries; maybe some small talk. But not much more.

Having come to this realization, I felt envious of what he had. I am among the commonplace here. I don't talk to my neighbors. I may nod or say hello when passing by to get to my apartment, but I haven't talked to them much, and I certainly don't know them. I don't necessarily get along with them (they make a bunch of noise upstairs), but I do wish it were different. Maybe in different circumstances it would be different. Maybe it's just how our society is today. That's another debate.

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE news!

KILLSWITCH ENGAGE is my favorite band. Lead singer, Howard Jones, has recently left KSE's current tour due to an undisclosed "personal issue". Instead of canceling their shows, Phil Labonte, lead singer of ALL THAT REMAINS (my Top Five favorite bands), is taking over. They are still offering their fans refunds, but I guarantee not too many people will cash in on that because the shows that they've completed with Labonte have received a positive responses. Personally, I would love to see them with Phil. I would just love to hear one song with him doing lead vocals. There's a video on youtube (link through Killswitch's website, http://www.killswitchengage.com/) of a recent performance in Baltimore, but the audio quality is extremely poor. You can barely hear Phil's vocals. It's still something to see. Both bands, in addition to being the leaders/innovators of the "melodic metalcore" genre in the mid to late 90s, and both being from Massachusetts, are good friends. To me that's AMAZING!

Currently Reading: DARK HOLLOW by Brian Keene

I've never read a book so quickly. I started Sunday and I'm nearly finished. It's so enthralling. It really captures me. It's exciting, suspenseful, and oddly fascinating. The way that makes you say, "Oh my goodness. Did he really say that? Is he really doing that? I have to read more." I've never been able to read a book so easily. I feel like the book flows so effortless for me. Maybe it's the way Keene rights, or maybe it's because I'm so captivated. Either way this is a fantastic horror novel by a very talented and emerging writer (if he's not huge already). I can't wait to finish it.

Movie Review: SHUTTER ISLAND (2010)

SHUTTER ISLAND (2010)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
Written by: Laeta Kalokridis
Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane

First, I must say that I read the novel beforehand. And as much as I don't won't to be one of those people who always say the book was much better, in this instance it's true...but not by much. I would never take anything away from Martin Scorsese. He is an amazingly talented director that has a true vision and always produces a quality film. Such is the case with SHUTTER ISLAND. I just found the novel to be more compelling in certain scenes. As with all novels that are adapted to film, there are certain little details left out that I would have loved to have seen. With that being said, I still enjoyed SHUTTER ISLAND very much. The main thing to understand is watching a movie and reading a book are two completely different experiences. You can't expect to get the same feeling from one or the other.

The presence the film brings is unique. The look of the island when you first see it is very ominous. The film's score contributes its own anxiety throughout. The cast is great. The standout performance for me is Ben Kinsley as Dr. Cawley. You get a sense of dramatic pull from him and his acting. The special effects are ever-present, but all too noticeable. There must have been a lot of shooting on green screen. I'd much more prefer a more practical setting, but I'm sure their location scouting produced very limited results. The film's end is very powerful and emotional. The last scene in the movie really makes the whole experience worthwhile and makes it stand apart from the novel.

Overall, SHUTTER ISLAND isn't Scorsese's best, but if you are a fan of his, it should not be missed. It's very well made and captures the essence of the source material fantastically.

Another great album by one of my favorite bands. At first I wasn't impressed but after listening more and more I realized how emotional and cathartic it is. Truly a great accomplishment.

Movie Review: THE WOLFMAN (2010)

THE WOLFMAN (2010)
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Written by: Andrew Kevin Walker and David Shelf
Based on the 1941 Screenplay by Curt Siodmak

All the problems and dilemmas this movie had endured during it's production, post-production, and release really had me worried about how the movie itself might turn out. After having seen it, I realize that none of it means much as long as what's on screen is made as best it can and made well. Luckily it is. I love it! I found it to have been terrifically well made despite all the reported problems.

The acting is very good. All the actors involved contribute to the quality of the acting, creating believable and likable characters. It's very enjoying to watch talented individuals work on the big screen and build off one another. I wasn't sure Benicio was the best man for the part, but he does an excellent job of playing the legendary character, Lawrence Talbot, and I was left quite impressed. Emily Blunt is breathtaking. She is also an extremely gifted actress. I couldn't be more impressed with her. Anthony Hopkins plays a strange, and refreshing, role for himself. Hugo Weaving brings his A-game. I didn't expect less.

The story itself is quite good as well. I feel it pays homage to the classic Universal Monster and appropriately builds on the mythos, adding a fresh new take that is both interesting and exciting to experience. Walker and Self have done a superb job with this piece of work.

Now to the one aspect of the film that show its flaws, which are easily justified by the influx of problems that transpired in post-production, the editing. It gets choppy and somewhat difficult to follow at times and can pull you away from the drama and mood of the film. However, it can be considered to be a part of the feeling of what the Lawrence Talbot is feeling and going through. If perceived in that light, it works.

I am impressed by director Joe Johston. I feel he did a great job considering what he had to go through. He handled an all-star cast, managed a big-budget, highly anticipated remake, and was able to produce a quality film. CAPTAIN AMERICA is in good hands.

Overall I enjoyed the film with immense delight (the gore is fantastic and brutal; all too appropriate for a beast such as it was), and I truly believe it to be one of the best remakes I've seen. It's great to see the Horror genre get one right.

Movie Review: EDGE OF DARKNESS (2010)

EDGE OF DARKNESS (2010)
Directed by: Martin Campbell
Written by: William Monahan and Andrew Bovell
Based on a teleplay by Troy Kennedy-Martin

This is an excellent film that proves how much story and depth can push a movie and truly make it stand out. It has meaning and it shows how far that can drive a film. The filmmakers had something to say instead of just blowing stuff up. That's important when it comes to making a great film. That's what this is.

I'm not a Mel Gibson fan. In fact, since he decided to make his own films and become a self-righteous anti-Semite, I've somewhat loathed him. I miss Riggs. Having said that, Gibson gives a tremendous performance and shows effort to this role and creates a compelling character. I find myself torn, not liking Gibson but thoroughly enjoying his character, Thomas Craven.

The story is very interesting and dramatic, not being over-convoluted, allowing you to follow while not knowing all that there is; keeping you involved. It's depth and pace really flow and allow the movie to build on itself until the very end, and you're left smiling and thinking.

I'm extremely excited about the director, Martin Campbell. I love CASINO ROYALE. He accomplishes a lot with that film, and he matches it here. And it doesn't have such an iconic character to do it with. The film is based on a 1985 British TV mini-series that he directed. The premise is the same, making it that much more inventive for its time.

Overall, I enjoyed watching it and it left me thinking. I've always thought that that is the mark of a truly great film. Campbell has impressed me and I look forward to his future projects, including GREEN LATERN (in pre-production).

Movie Review: THE LOVELY BONES (2009)

THE LOVELY BONES
Directed by: Peter Jackson
Written by: Fran Walsh, Pilippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson
Adapted from a novel by Alice Sebold

I was somewhat disappointed by this film. I love Peter Jackson as a genre director in more of the horror and fantasy/sci-fi world. His drama pieces just don't resonate with me. There's no doubt that he's one of the best directors out there and that he's always capable of producing quality work. I don't particularly like this one. As I've said before, the horror genre needs quality filmmakers pushing the genre. Peter Jackson has proven himself there and I'd like to see him push the genre further ahead into the artistry of what filmmaking truly is.

I admire the vision of THE LOVELY BONES. It's clear that Alice Sebold had a vision and Peter Jackson captured it on screen. The story is fairly interesting, but the ending is extremely deflating. I honestly expected more.

Of course the special effects are amazing. However, I felt they lacked meaning on a practical level. That may underscore the premise for them in the context of the film, but I felt their significance was somewhat dubious. With that said, they are unique and at times aw-inspiring.

The acting is truly topflight. Plenty of great performances. I can honestly say that there's not one that you can look at and say that it could have been better. I really think this is a testament to the direction of Peter Jackson.

Overall, I feel the film works better as a love story than it does at a shot of revenge. It's very dramatic and emotional, but doesn't captivate me in the way I would have liked.

Rating = 6.2/10.0 - 1/2

Currently Reading: RIGHT RISK by Bill Treasurer

It's not just about taking risks, but taking the right risks that can help you grow. It's very helpful for people that have a problem taking the next step to getting something they may want or need to fill a gap in their life.

It's got some great life experiences from people who have taken big risks in their lives, sometimes when people pressure them not to. I found the story about Frances Oldham Kelsay particularly inspirational. She was the FDA inspector that refused to authorize thalidomide into the market based on her own research, even though she was pressured by the pharmaceutical company to pass it. Later it was determined that the drug leads to birth defects in infants.

Ahhh, the memories!

Today I was watching CASH CAB on the Discovery Channel, and there was a question to which the answer was LITE-BRITE. I answered it of course. I'm very fond of my youth...and 80s Hasbro toys.

Quick Take: LEGION (2010)

You get pretty much what's promised from the trailer. It's a very straight-forward plot. Mediocre acting (other than Paul Bettany=main character). Special Effects are also nothing too spectacular especially after the bar has been risen so high by recent films. It has a fair amount of action and horror/suspense, which I thought was mixed fairly well. However, overall it's not great and should only been seen by those who find the subject content interesting (i.e. Angels, apocalypse, machine guns, shootouts, freaky possessed people who like rare meat).

Quick Rating = 5.3/10.0

Movie Review: THE BAD LIEUTENANT: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009)

THE BAD LIEUTENANT: Port of Call - New Orleans (2009)
Directed by: Werner Herzog
Written by: William Finkelstein

First thing you should know going into this film is that it's very much a Werner Herzog film. Those whom are familiar with his work (maybe most notably, the recent RESCUE DAWN staring Christian Bale) will have a much better outing with this film. I forgot that during the viewing and I wish I hadn't. I would have enjoyed it more.

However, it's not a bad film. It's heavy with drug usage; too much for my taste. It's hard to watch at times, but that might be the result of Herzog's vision. Nic Cage really does give a quality performance. Herzog does an excellent job of capturing authenticity throughout the entire film, particularly with the characters. I found it entertaining just watching the characters and not really caring about plot.



Unfortunately, that's where this one does not excel. There's not much of a plot. You mainly follow characters around. It's hard to get a real grasp of what you should and shouldn't care about. All that centers around Terence (Nic Cage). You don't know if he's really good or really bad. That's not to say it's a negative thing. Again, Herzog's vision comes into play. Was that his intention or not? Probably so, but whose to say.

It's most difficult to watch Terence's downward spiral as he struggles to maintain the balance and structure of his life while investigating a homicide, his drug addiction, his relationship with his prostitute girlfriend and his recovering father.

There are a couple of scenes in the film that really standout. The main one being the shootout at Terence's drug-dealing, murder-suspect, partner's house. The whole scene is very interesting, even with it's threat of absurdity. The humor throughout the film is done also in an interesting way.

Overall Rating = 6.1/10.0 ( out of 5)

Violent Swans (or How I Pissed Off King Swan)

I just got back from the gym and I open my living room blind to see two very large swans outside, in front of my patio.  It was such a surprise, it shocked me a bit.  They were eating pieces of white bread and whole animal crackers that had been thrown from the balcony above.  I just stood there for a moment watching them eat, mesmerize by their elegance as they made their way through their feast, mowing it down like it was their last meal. 

They approached closer to my patio until they were practically at my door.  I had made my way out and I was still watching.  They began digging through the brush searching for more food.  I saw a large dried out leaf next to me.  I said to myself, "What the heck.  They might go for it."  I picked it up and tried to hand it to the larger one that was closest.  He, or at least I think it was a he, immediately knew it wasn't food and shunned it away.  Then,  he began to hiss at me.  "A hiss?", I thought.  I didn't know swans hissed.  Well they do.  And these guys weren't messing around.  They wanted food. 

I decided to watch a while longer as they started eating the very grass itself.  Then, when the larger one had his back turned, I reached out.  I just wanted to feel those beautiful feathers.  But clever this one was.  He was on to me.  He turned quickly to greet me with another, much louder, hiss.  That was enough for me.  I wasn't about to get into a fight with King Swan.  I acquiesced to his majesty, and took the road less traveled (or in this instance, more traveled.  I don't know too many people who have fought swans). 

I retreated to my apartment.  Once safely inside, I watched for a few moments more.  They left shortly thereafter, once they knew their reign was asserted. 

Don't mess with swans when they're hungry.
