Here's What's New This Week:
First Impressions: Painkiller Jane - In this installment of First Impressions, Jutine Manzano reviews the new sci-fi action adventure show starring Kristanna Loken.
Excerpt: "Again, I come to you with a review of a (sort-of) new show! Sorry, first impressions kinda became fourth impressions as I enjoyed a new disease that runs rampant among college students: they call it: final-month-o'-semester-itis. But fortunately, I have managed to peak my head out over the dismal disease to give you a review of Sci-Fi's latest original series, Painkiller Jane. I saw the preview for Painkiller Jane while watching The Dresden Files, week after week. I was immediately excited for many reason. I couldn't wait to test it out..."
Random Acts of Ismael: Random Acts V - The randomly insane rantings of a lunatic with too much...or perhaps too little time on his hands.
Excerpt: "Well hello out there you useless piles of net-surfing protein sacks—sorry, I really ran out of clever ways to address my one loyal fan out there and I figured it was better to insult you than to repeat a tired and overused line. How did you like it, you sweaty discharge from a simian's rectum? Did I go too far with the monkey rectum thing? I'm truly sorry. As a token of my sincerity, please sit back and enjoy the latest of the title that started it all, my Random Acts. By now you all know the format, so don't complain..."
The Twelfth Card - Melissa Minners reviews the next mystery/suspense novel in the Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffery Deaver.
Excerpt: "...In The Twelfth Card, Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are called upon for a rather unusual case. Sixteen-year-old Geneva Settle never expected to be attacked while conducting research on one of her ancestors in the African-American Museum in New York, but that's exactly what happened. Thanks to her quick thinking, the attack was foiled, but the attacker didn't leave without causing some damage. To affect his escape, he shoots two people, killing one. Now, Lincoln Rhyme, Amelia Sachs, Detective Lon Sellitto and a host of others are hot on the trail of a killer whose motive may be an incident involving a crime committed over a century ago..."
Encores of the Week:
Grindhouse - Ismael Manzano reviews the new Robert Rodriguez-Quinten Tarantino collaboration movie double feature.
Excerpt: "Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you've heard about the latest collaboration between famed directors, Robert Rodriguez.. (Once Upon A Time in Mexico) and Quentin Taranatino.. (Pulp Fiction..), called Grindhouse. Grindhouse is the two director's attempt to return to the films they enjoyed in their youths..."
Jagged Little Pill - Melissa Minners Turns Back the Clock to review Alanis Morissette's breakout hit album.
Excerpt: "Ever notice that certain songs stay with you, no matter how long ago they were first introduced on the radio? The other day, I turned on my car radio and let out a joyful shout to hear one such song. I sang loudly along with the angry Canadian who came on the scene in 1995 with a hard-hitting album that raised some eyebrows. But once it had been out for a week or two, it was plain to see that everyone in America was quite prepared to swallow Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill..."
BirdsofPreyOnline.com - Melissa Minners reviews the website devoted to the Birds of Prey television show.
Excerpt: "Once upon a time there was a television show on the WB Network based on the DC Comics series, Birds of Prey. The show intrigues a great many people and fansites began to appear everywhere. The most notable and informative sites at the time were the Gotham Clocktower and Birds of Prey Online. Shortly after the cancellation of the Birds of Prey television series, most of these fansites folded. Five years later, one fansite is still going strong – Birds of Prey Online. The site's main page hasn't seen very much activity since 2005, but the forum is the most active I've seen since the Buffy Boards. Why is it that this one fansite has managed to last this ling and is still going strong? To discover the answer, we must look at the various parts of the site and break them down..."
