Killer soundtrack (1 more)
Great ensemble cast
Alright alright alright
Love this movie!
Possibly my favourite movie and have watched and rewatched countless times.
The beauty of the movie is the familiarity of the subject matter, I was not born until 1979 but the trials and tribulations of teenage life presented here will be comfortable and accessible to any viewer.
The cast of (then) unknowns largely seem custom made for each individual character, and the casting of even the small roles was nailed with perfect execution.
The soundtrack keeps everything ticking over like a movie score, so much so I find that hearing a song from the movie will always bring my mind back to that scene (Bob Dylan "Hurricane" a standout)
Linklater would go on to do bigger films, but for my money... None better

Well written but didn't exactly hook me
I've read collections of short stories before but never have I cared less about what happened in them than I did here. The stories are loosely collated with an overall additional story over the top of them. The stories have something of a fairytale feel to them (one an alternate telling of Beauty and the Beast, another like Snow White gone bad, yet another has a tough of Rumpelstiltskin to it), but most invariably include some heaving cleavages and women that throw themselves at the hero.
The stories are well enough told but it may be the translation that left me struggling to concentrate on the story and my attention wandered. A very short book, this took me longer to read than it should have.

This book is a joke. I read the sample and enjoyed it so went ahead and bought the novella. Had the sample included just a few more pages, I never would have. The writing while so ridiculous and cheesy that I could not take it seriously. When Ethan told Laura that he wanted to "bury himself inside of her", I grimaced a bit. But when Laura calls Ethan's penis his "big beauty", I gagged. It only gets worse from there. Not to mention Gaines references heat rising, or heat in general, on pretty much every single page. After awhile I want to scream at the book "alright, we get it already!!!"
It is a personal rule of mine to finish what I start, but I couldn't muster the strength to finish this one.

Fantastically written self-contained story with superb artwork
This short graphic novel sees Batman trying to peacefully put an end to his conflict with the Joker (safely behind bars - or is he?) before one of them ends up dead. Needless to say Joker escapes and puts in place his plan to show the beauty of madness. He wants to show that everyone would be happier if they just let their brain snap under extreme strain, and then you'll always see the funny side.
Some superb artwork throughout the book, both in the current story and flashbacks of Mr J's life.
I think fans of the Arkham video games will get a real buzz out of this, it is totally in line with the stories and settings used in the games.

Girl problems
413. 68 Kill. Chip's girlfriend Liza is gorgeous. Liza's sugar daddy has 68 thousand bucks in a safe that she wants to steal. Oh yea Liza is a prostitute and more than likely a sociopath. I know, you shouldn't make judgements about people based on only a few observations... With that, Liza also murders her sugar daddy and his wife, ooops and apparently they had another guest over, beauty, Violet that witnesses the whole thing. Now a sociopath would probably just kill the witness right? Liza does not, Chip is very relieved at this. Liza informs Chip that they'll just sell Violet to her brother Dwayne. Hmm. What to do? Love, makes you do crazy things... That kicks off quite the night for Chip in this violent black comedy. Filmbufftim on FB!
