Comic Reviews

I haven't done this for a while so I figured it was time. These won't be overtly long, I hope.
Defenders #5 of 5
The mini is over. Sadly. But it sure did take a while for this last issue to come out. That aside, I really liked this one. It was funny, it had action, and it looked good. I was a little disappointed in the un-inclusion of the Silver Surfer into the fray. He is featured just not with the others, though it is funny. The banter between Prince Namor, the Hulk and Strange is great and hasn't let up since the first issue. All in all this was just plan fun.
All-Star Superman #2
I don't know of any Silver or Golden age comics that I have read. But I imagine that they are like this. I don't mean it's corny or stupid. It's just good. Classic. Lois is taken to Supermans fortress of solitude. There we see all the wonderful things a person like superman has in his home. Lois gets a little paranoid and does something that could've been bad. I was disappointed that her paranoia was explained away as no fault of her own. I think it was justified for her to be paranoia, but it doesn't matter. Art's great, story's great.
Infinite Crisis #4
This is just plain exciting. The art's a little funny here and there but it's good over all. Dialog and story is good. Seeing Superboy kill other heroes was fairly disturbing. And :( for the Flash.

Well, that's all I can muster for now. I was interrupted. Onto more important things.

I did it for the cookie

Wellp, I've helped make cookies! I made the cookie dough (up to the point of the addition of flour) then I made the green and red frosting! And I must say my frosting is about as good as frosting gets. I say that with no humility. It's just pure fact. Goddamnit! Erin was the taskmaster, the chief, the leader, the organizer, the management, the foreman, the overseer, the overlord what have you. Matt, J.R. and myself were the slaves, the worker bees, the grunts, the workers, servants, manual laborers, etcetera etcetera etcetera.
Long live the cookies! Well, until we eat them I suppose.

Munich and a little bit of Kong

Munich is a good movie in my opinion. King Kong is also a good movie but for completely different reasons. Munich is good because of the story it tells. Everything else is phenomenal as well, music, cinematography, acting. But the story is where the excitement comes in. It doesn't matter who you think is right or wrong or which side you prefer. The tension throughout the movie is ebbs and flows but is consistently high. But not because of some dinosaur chasing someone down like in King Kong. The end is wonderful in that I had no idea what was going to happen. I don't know if the main character is real like the story surrounding him is so I didn't know his fate. It's disturbing in some scenes but appropriately so. A disturbing instance is disturbing by definition. Spielberg showed enough to be disturbing but not enough to qualify as grotesque or pornographic. King Kong is mostly just pretty. It does have a good story or idea behind it, which is fantastic, but no nearly the depth or range of emotions as Munich.
I think both movies are great. See King Kong to have fun but don't drink anything before hand. See Munich if you want a really great story (set around true happenings, I don't know if the main character is real), but also, don't drink anything before hand, it's long as well. Hey, at least your getting a great dollar/hour entertainment ratio.
