Here's What's New This Week:
Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch - Melissa Minners reviews the latest trade paperback featuring Oracle, Black Canary, Huntress and a cast of new members who belong to the crime fighting group known as the Birds of Prey.
Excerpt: "When we last left the Birds in Birds of Prey: The Battle Within, we found them without a permanent headquarters after the Gotham Clocktower burned to the ground. Oracle had nearly died thanks to Braniac's invasion of her body and Helena had set off on her own after learning the true reason that Oracle had accepted her as a member of the team. The trade paperback Birds of Prey: Perfect Pitch covers issues 86-90 and 92-95 of the Birds of Prey comic book series distributed by DC Comics..."
What Worked and What Sucked: ABC's 2006-2007 Fall Season Edition - Justine Manzano reviews the 2006-2007 fall season shows from ABC.
Excerpt: "The time has come when series television is taking a small break for the Fall season. This is also the time that I can't help but crawl out of the woodwork and analyze the decisions the network made with the seasons. Over the coming weeks, I will be praising, complaining and sometimes just rolling my eyes at what the fall television season brought us…and also what it stole from us. The perfect compliment to our First Impressions series, I can't wait to take a bite. Just remember that the series I will discuss are strictly those I watched, so if you feel I missed something, write your own article and we'll be glad to print it! This week, let's look at ABC's schedule..."
You On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management - Melissa Minners reviews the popular book from MDs Roizen and Oz.
Excerpt: "Reading the title of this book, you are probably wondering how it is possible for a book about dieting to be considered as a form of entertainment. In fact, just the word "diet" probably induces an involuntary moan of agony. But You on a Diet, by Doctors Michael F. Roizen.. and Mehmet C. Oz.., somehow manages to come off as very entertaining, in spite of the subject matter..."
Encores of the Week:
Shrek the Third - Melissa Minners reviews the latest sequel in the Shrek series.
Excerpt: "In 2001, a friend and fellow co-worker recommended I watch an animated film entitled Shrek... The movie, about an ogre who rescues a princess in an effort to save his swamplands from an evil Lord, captured the hearts of millions with its quirky spin on fairytales...In 2004, Shrek 2 hit the theaters and was an instant success. This time around, Shrek is now married to Princess Fiona, the princess/ogre he met in the first movie. It is time for Shrek to meet Fiona's royal parents. Shrek's fears about meeting Fiona's parents are realized when they immediately reject him as their son-in-law. Fiona's Fairy Godmother, having long planned for her son, Prince Charming, to wed Fiona and become heir to the throne, devises a plan to destroy Shrek. However, with the assistance of his old friends, and a new one in a swashbuckling cat named Puss-in-Boots, Shrek and Fiona emerge victorious...And they lived happily ever after…Until 2007, when the long awaited Shrek the Third hit the theaters..."
Random Acts of Ismael: Fishing for Trouble - Ismael Manzano sounds off about the recent goings on between Amy Fisher and Joey Whatshisname.
Excerpt: "Warning: This Random Act is not for the faint of heart or intellect. If you fear you fit into one or both categories, please skip this article...Okay ladies and gentlemen of my own personal playground—the world, wide web—I'm back today with a message of love, triumph and perseverance that is sure to pluck at your heartstrings and reinvigorate all of your beliefs in romance, destiny, and—oh my god, I can't even type out that load of crap..."
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the movie based on the murderous best selling novel by Patrick Süskind.
Excerpt: "...The soundtrack of any film should compliment it, add emotion and intensity to any scene and bring that scene home to the viewer. The soundtrack of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer does all of that and more. It basically tells the story of the film through the use of music. Without ever knowing the background story, one could understand the gist of what this film is about by listening to its soundtrack...."
