TV - Battlestar Galactica: Razor


I was able to get a sneak of this thanks to a heads up from my buddy Chuck. I can't say anything about this, cause it'll spoil the show. All I can say is it kicked all sorts of ASS.

I give it a 4 of 4 Ass Monkey.


Also I recommend that you check out the Battlestar Galactica Flashback webisodes before watching this. They are on the Sci-Fi website. You can check them out HERE.

Art - The Works of Eric Canete

Every couple of moths or so there is a local Comicbook/Sci-Fi convention in LA. I try to attend, if not only to hang out with my friends and eat lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant, which happens to be around the corner from the con. Well last Sunday a group of us went down to see if we could score any good deals. Also one of the Artist's who's blog I link on this here page, ERIC CANETE was there signing and doing sketches. I posted on his blog that I would stop by, so I did. Eric could not have been nicer. The guy was a true gentleman. Not only was he talking it up with his fans, he was doing sketches for FREE. He even missed out on the AvP 2 presentation so he could do a few sketches for folks (AvP 2 looked great by the way). He was nice enough to do this great Captain America sketch for me. I will be framing it and putting up on my wall.


I even offered to buy him lunch as a thank you, but he graciously declined. What a nice guy. This guy is a tremendous talent and it was great to chat with him and watch him work. As he's based in Los Angeles, I hope to bring him on to do some freelance concept work sometime in the future. Maybe he'll let me pick him up lunch then. If you've got some time, check out his blog. He's got some great art.

Comics - Occasional Superheroine Blog

I just discovered this Blog called Occasional Superheroine. It's written by a chic who has worked in the comics business. She's got some interesting insight to the business of comics as well as some funny comments of other pop culture stuff. It's a fun read. If you like my blog I think you might find this cool as well. I'm gonna add her blog to my links list below.

Movies - American Gangster

So I was lucky enough to attend a Producer's Guild screening of "American Gangster" this weekend followed by a quick Q&A with Producer Brian Grazer.


In 1970s America, detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) works to bring down the drug empire of Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington), a heroin kingpin from Manhattan, who is smuggling drugs into the country from war torn Vietnam.


Click HERE for the trailer.

I could say alot about this movie and ALL of it would be good. Most of the movies I see always have a caveat, like the acting was great, but man did the script suck. Well this movie is all around fantastic. Every aspect of the film is amazing, the writing, the acting, the directing, everything is well crafted. Both Denzel Washington & Russell Crowe are outstanding and although they only share 1 scene on screen they both give great performances. Do yourself a favor and go check this out.

On a side note, I was gonna go see the new Coen Bros movie, "No Country for Old Men", but it turns out the screening was actually the BIG HOLLYWOOD premiere. So we went, walked down the red carpet, and found our seat. Our seats turned out to be poop so we left. I would rather pay for the movie and see it from a good seat, then sit through the premiere in an un-watchable seat, but that's just me.
