The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-27-09
A very good week of new releases, with a sizable amount of books for picks of the week. First up this week is Ignition City #3. Ellis’ space/western continues, and with each issue manages to outdo himself. I truly think this series is the best thing he has written since Planetary or Transmetropolitan. This issue [...]
Terminator: Salvation Movie Review
I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but I liked this movie.
When I first read that McG (the guy responsible for the dreadful “Charlie’s Angels” flicks) was going to direct the next “Terminator” sequel, I think I said “eh”, shrugged my shoulders and decided that this franchise was finally dead. I mean, after the abysmal “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”, I think most people had given up on this series. Following the Hollywood trend that after at least 2 good movies (ala “Spider-Man”, “X-Men” and “Superman”), the rest must be crap.
Star Trek (belated) Movie Review
Let me make a couple things clear: I love Star Trek. I’ve watched every movie and television series since “The Next Generation” premeired over 20 years ago. I’m the guy who buys all the movies and collects all the little ships. I’m pretty much pre-ordained to like this movie.
That being said, it didn’t blow me away.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-20-09
A decent, if uneventful, week of releases this week, resulting in just one pick of the week. Your pick for this week is Ex Machina #42. As usual, the title presents a compelling story that manages to engross the reader. Vaughan gives the Mayor Hundred such an fulfilling back story to present his current status [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-13-09
A nice week of releases this week, highlighted for yours truly by my pick of the week. Your pick of the week this week is Secret Six #9. Spinning out of the events of Battle for the Cowl (which I will disclose I’m not picking up), the issue isn’t so much a must read tie [...]
Visit Cleveland!
I’ve been planning on taking a small vacation this year, but I really didn’t know where I wanted to visit. After this video, my mind is made up, it’s absolutely going to be Cleveland. Where else can you buy a house for the price of a VCR?
The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-6-09
A small week of releases this week, with none of the books being up to the standard for book of the week. As such, we’ll go with a tried and true method of a trade paperback selection. Your pick this week is Too Cool to Be Forgotten. Alex Robinson is definitely a creator that has [...]
X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie review
We’re starting off the 2009 summer movie season here at ProjectSilence.com with a review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I really meant to do some movie reviews last summer (seeing as how I probably saw more movies in the theater in 2008 than any year before!), but the time-consuming business of being a working new Dad [...]
The Ettatorial for the Week of 4-29-09
A very nice week of releases this week, with your pick being what I will consider a surprise choice. And if you add in Free Comic Book Day’s releases (what, you didn’t go out to your local comic book retailer and take advantage of this terrific annual tradition?), this was quite a week. Your pick [...]
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Trailer
Normally I wouldn’t post a trailer for a fighting game, they really haven’t been something I’ve enjoyed since, well, since the Marvel vs. Capcom games. So here’s the trailer for the upcoming XBLA/PSN release Marvel vs. Capcom, featuring the most excellent soundtrack in the history of Video Game Trailers. If I understand the readers of [...]
