Way late but here it is...

I have been hanging onto this for some time now and just never got around to posting it. So this is actually from several weeks ago. I will be playing around with the round up format in weeks to come and also at the bottom of this post is a bunch of things I have watched and read in the weeks since this post was written.

Comics

Ignition City #2
Salem's Daughter #0

Not a big list but some really good stuff here. The pick of the week is Ignition City #2. This series just keeps getting better. We find out more about Ignition City (The last place on Earth where one can be launched into space) and the oddball bunch of characters that inhabit it. The plot also thickens as we learn more about the death of Arthur "Rock" Raven. I really like where this story is going!

Books

Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'
Eldest

While both of these books are really great. The pick of the week goes to Eldest. This series is really fantastic. Any fan of Fantasy Fiction should definitely look into it. Christopher Paolini has done such a great job. I must admit that before I read Eragon I had my doubts about whether I would like this series at all. I have been mighty surprised and pleased with just how awesome it is. If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings then this is definitely right up your alley and you should check it out.

Movies

Damien: Omen II (1978) 4
The Shaggy Dog (2006) 6
Monster's Vs. Aliens (2009) 7

Not to many really to choose from this week. So the obvious winner is Monster's Vs. Aliens. I was not going in expecting anything amazing so what I got I did like quite a bit. The story was a little bit different than other things out there these days. There were plenty of laughs through out. The voice casting was done very well. Seth Rogen even redeems himself from the disappointing Observe and Report. I am really liking the RealD effect as well. I cannot wait to see Up when it is released in RealD in a few weeks. Overall a good film that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age.

Concerts

Hotel Lights, Guster, and Ben Folds at the Carrier Dome
Separate Ways, The Ataris, Eve 6 at Neahwa Park

I also went to a couple of shows this weekend both of which were great. If I was forced to pick one over the other I would have to say that the Ben Folds show was the better of the two. This was the first time I have seen either him or Guster and I was very impressed. I new very few of Guster's songs but I will definitely look into them more. They did a great job. I have Been a Ben Fold's fan for quite a while now and I was very excited to finally get to see him live. If you ever get the chance definitely take it. He puts on a fantastic show with a great stage show and plenty of audience participation.

In this week's round up...

Not a bad week overall here is this weeks's list

Comics

Hexed #4
The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft #1
Overlook #1
Lillim #2
Mysterius The Unfathomable #4
Soul Kiss #3
Johnny Monster #3

Overall it was a great week for comics. The Strange Adventures of H.P. Lovecraft and Lillim were iffy but pulled it together in the end. We shall see how they continue. Soul Kiss just keeps getting better and Johnny Monster # 3 ends the series with probably the best issue of the run. But the stand out is Overlook #1. This series is starting off great. With very interesting characters, a compelling story line, and some really good black and white art make this issue a home run. It has a kind of a gritty dirty feel to it and I look forward to see where it is taken.

Movies

Observe and Report (2009) 6
No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005) 7
Where in The World is Osama Bin Laden (2008) 6
K-PAX (2001) 7
Shiver (2008) 1
Lethal Weapon 3 (1992) 6
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) 10
Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) 6
Ira and Abby (2006) 7
Bloodrayne II: Deliverance (2007) 1

Some good stuff here this week. But there is one obvious stand out. I do not give out a rating of a 10 lightly or often. Only when I feel a movie is truly something unique and compelling. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father is one of those movies. It follows a film maker who was friends with Andrew Bagby who was brutally murdered "allegedly" by his fiance Shirley Turner as he travels across the country meeting with Andrew's friends and family making a documentary for Zachary Bagby (Andrew and Shirley's son) who would never get to meet his father. It also follows the legal procedures of Shirley being prosecuted and Andrew's parents trying to get custody of there grandson. If you are unfamiliar with this case as I was I recommend seeing this film before looking into it. It is truly shocking how the events transpire and to see how Andrew's parents dealt with the situation. It really is quite amazing how much these people went through and how they continued on despite their horrific situation. It is a film that should definitely be seen by all.

Books

Essential Daredevil Vol. 1

I also finished reading This collection of early Daredevil comicbooks. It was great to see the early years of the Daredevil story line as they introduced the "Man with No Fear"

Whoops again

A day late again...whoops

Comics

Ignition City #1
30 Days of Night: 30 Days Til' Death #1-3
Locke & Key: Head Games #4

This week had some really good comics and it is hard to pick the best of the bunch. All of them are definitely worth picking up but the one that I liked the best though was Ignition City #1. This series has some great potential. The story is intriguing and entertaining. It follows the happenings of an island filled with old space heroes and adventures who have burnt themselves out over the years. One part Sci-Fi, one part wild west. The art has been done very well. The characters are different from those found in other stories and really set this apart from the pack. definitely check it out.

Movies

Payback (1990) 1
House of Wax (1953) 6

Kind of a slow week on the movie end the pick of the week is House of Wax. If you did not like the remake of this film but never saw the original. Then you should check it out. It is quite different from the remake and in many ways better. The remake was more of a slasher with this version being more of a thriller. Vincent Price does a terrific job with his role. While there are no really scary or scream inducing moments it is still a classic horror film that should be enjoyed by all.

A day late...

Not a bad week overall some good comics and some decent movies here is the rundown:

Comics
Jersey Gods #3
The Remnant #4
The Mighty #3
Dead Romeo #1
Cars: The Rookie #1
Irredeemable #1

All were good except for Dead Romeo which I will not be continuing with. Also I did not care much for how they ended The Remnant series. The pick of the week is The Mighty #3. I am liking where this story is going. The characters are very interesting and the story is good. The series may have started off like your average superhero type tale but it really has made some twists and turns that make it stand out in the crowd. Definitely worth checking out if you have not done so already.

DVD Sets
Ultimate 150 Cartoon Festival

I finished another DVD set of some classic cartoons. If you are a fan of the older style animation it is a must check out. It will take you back to a time before cartoon violence and such was censored like it is today.

Movies
I Love You, Man (2009) 8
Fast and Furious (2009) 7
Just Friends (2005) 6
Waking Life (2001) 1

The pick of the week is I Love You, Man. I was kind of unsure whether this would be good or not. I had heard good things and the trailers looked interesting but whether or not it would be a stand out comedy was doubtful. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It had many laugh out loud moments and was a little different from other comedies that you see these days. Paul Rudd and and Jason Segel both did terrific jobs with their roles. If you are unsure at all on whether you will like this I recommend giving it a shot.

There you go folks another week round up!
