Dean (6927 KP) rated Sucker Punch (2011) in Movies
Apr 11, 2018
A good all out OTT comic book action blaster. The visual style and SFX are incredibly good, during the surreal "dances". By creating a fantasy world to set out the aims of their objectives to break out of a brutal orphanage, a group of girls become a deadly team taking on anyone and everyone to complete their goal. While the main story might be fairly plain, the action scenes and fantasy dream world are very entertaining. Well worth checking out!
Ande Thomas (69 KP) rated The Black Monday Murders, Vol. 1: All Hail, God Mammon in Books
May 30, 2019
The story here is so good, and everything I could want in a comic. A murder investigation turned supernatural conspiracy encompassing the global financial market. Pulling strings that lead to or take advantage of economic downturns, the various schools rule the world from behind the veil of a free market. The art is so dark and brooding, the characters intense and vibrant, I'm buying this by the issue and the trade, and eventually, when an omnibus is released, I'll buy that too.

Warriors, come out to play
Ok maybe I missed something? I'm not quite sure about the cult status for this. It's a decent film with a young cast, and probably quite different at the time it was made. However it has a very simple plot, less fighting than I expected and a bit repetitive. I liked the almost comic "uniforms" for the different gangs, some of the fight scenes are pretty good, but overall I was expecting a lot more.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Killer Routine (A Last Laff Mystery #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Channing Hayes' is trying to help his almost sister-in-law begin a solo stand up comic career while he recovers from the accident that took his fiancee. On the night of her big break, she vanishes. Why? Can Channing find her? The characters were enjoyable, especially Channing, but the plot was a series of events with no real detective work involved.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated Darkwing Duck Campaign Carnage in Books
Mar 9, 2018
When the mayor of St. Carnard steps down, Darkwing enters the race to take his place. But someone is out to make sure that Darkwing does down. This was another fun entry in the comic book spins off from the 90's cartoon show. Fans will love it while the rest may not appreciate it as much. I'm a fan, so I loved it.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2273 KP) rated A Night at the Operation (Double Feature Mystery #3) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Comedy theater owner Elliot Freed is upset when his ex-wife goes missing. Then the police start looking for her in a suspicious suicide. What's going on? Yes, this is a comic mystery. And I laughed the entire way through. The climax came a little abruptly and the new characters were a tad flat, but I loved every minute of it.

Dana (24 KP) rated Arkham Asylum: Madness in Books
Mar 23, 2018
While I enjoyed this comic, it was not as good as the others I have read recently. This one focuses more on the fact that these villains are cruel with not much reasoning behind their actions. They torment the staff because it is fun and they get off on it.
The story itself was weak to me, but it was still entertaining for what it was.
Like I said, it was not my favorite, so I don't have much to say about it.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Villians Don't Date Heroes! in Books
Feb 17, 2018
As a former comic book geek this story drew me in. I have read other books by this author and they were great in their sweet simplicity. This was a bit more complicated. I loved Night Terror she was the perfect villian but her main love interest seemed a bit blah. Iwould have liked to see more verbal and mental sparring. That said I did enjoy this book and will read the next one. The uniqueness of it is a draw in itself.
Erika (17789 KP) rated Josie and the Pussycats Vol. 1 in Books
Jun 22, 2018
At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like the new reboot of Josie and the Pussycats. I love Archie comics, but some of the new stuff hasn't been the best.
Luckily, they had the writing talents of Marguerite Bennett ,who is one of my favorite comic book writers.
I loved that Melody is still a little ditzy, but very intelligent. She became my favorite character throughout. Overall, the volume was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I read it.

Not bad
I'm a fan of Mark Wahlberg so I may be a little biased but this movie was pretty good. A little predictable but the acting was decent with both old and newer faces. The action was decent. There was bit of comic relief but mostly the story held a serious tone. Overall this movie is clean enough for the kids to watch(maybe not REAL young ones). If you enjoy "dirty cop" movies you'll enjoy this one. Worth a watch!
