Review on The Alcoholic

Score: 4 out of 5

There is something to be said about the perception of professional writers. You know, the whole we are all alcoholic, clinically depressed, and/or drug addicts. And The Alcoholic does nothing to change that mentality. Following the life of washed up writer Jonathon A., The Alcoholic is a sobering tale. No, there is no pun intended. But that is what reading this graphic novel is like.

My Take on: The Last Airbender

I am PISSED. How do you take a TV show with amazing Asian tradition, Asian culture, and oh...Asian names and make everyone white. I don't know if it was intentional. But, still. Oh, wait I lie. All of the Fire Nation is Middle Eastern. Because there is not subliminal messaging there.... Oh Hollywood. One word. Fail!!!!

My Take on: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Hey folks. I am not going to give you guys the back story to the Scott Pilgirm. Sorry, that's what Google is for. What I am going to tell you is how awesome this movie project looks. Lets get started. First off, the casting seems spot on. For once Michael Cera is not playing a slacker high school student. No, he's playing a slacker college drop out. Sooo much classier. But, I am glad that I am not tired of him replaying the role again and again. Based off the trailer, the movie seems to be following the comic series pretty spot on. Which is why I am scared. Kick Ass looked like it followed the comic, till the ending. Granted, that series is still on going. Although, it seems Kevin Smith endorsed it for the same reason I am going to. I feel like I am watching a Scott Pilgrim comic. Which I guess is another point of a good comic book movie. Sometimes it isn't about being continuity accurate, it's about looking like a comic.
