Here's What's New This Week:
Spider-man 3 - Jutine Manzano reviews the long-awaited sequel to the Spider-man movie series.
Excerpt: "Since I was a very small child, I have loved Spider-man. I was the younger sister of two avid comic book reading siblings, and so I immersed myself in comic book lore. It was no surprise to anybody that I grew up encircled by friends and a husband who loved comic books as much as I did...So, this year, we were very anxious to take in Spider-man 3, the third edition of a franchise we had all been obsessed with in the past. The third installment was promised to be the most action packed of the series, so who could wait?..."
Starship Troopers - Melissa Minners Turns Back the Clock to review a sci-fi movie cult favorite.
Excerpt: "When I first saw Starship Troopers, it was for its promised action-packed science fiction tale. I thought that it was going to be nothing more than a rollercoaster ride of action, aliens and special effects. I was surprised to discover that this movie was so much more. Based on the Robert Heinlein.. book of the same name, Starship Troopers is not just aliens, weapons, and hi-tech special effects. This is a social commentary on war and fascist government. Having read the book and seen the movie, I have discovered that I enjoy the movie version much more (an unusual occurrence for me) and have since seen the movie at least a dozen times. I recently received the Starship Troopers Special Edition DVD and was more than happy to pop it into the DVD player. "Would you like to know more?"..."
A Dame to Kill For - Ismael Manzano reviews one of the Sin City graphic novels scheduled to be featured in the Sin City 2 upcoming movie.
Excerpt: "Those of you in webland who follow my reviews know of the stellar review I gave to Frank Miller's.. Sin City and 300 movies. Well it was the latter film's success that prompted me to pick up on of Miller's graphic novels to read and enjoy. Unfortunately, the 300 graphic novels.. were pretty much sold out around my area, so I opted for the next best thing, the novel for which one of the stories of the upcoming Sin City 2 is based. This is how I came across A Dame To Kill For..."
Encores of the 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..."
