KILLJOY COMICS

Monday, November 12th, 2007

Well, it didn’t take me long to get behind with SHOX PICKS (again) did it?  So, to make up for this I’ll give you a real web comic treat:

Go ahead and give them a good read.  As usual, you can thank me later.”

ONCE WERE WARRIORS

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Please disregard the comic reviews category, people. Seems it’s the only category we have at the moment. This one should be under Movie Reviews.

I first saw this flick a little over ten years ago and rented it as a “Chad’s Pick”, which means that I was taking a risk as I never heard of it before but something about it caught my attention. Sometimes Chad Picks work and sometimes . . . . but I digress.

Simply put, this is one of the most powerful films I have ever seen. The impact of several scenes in this movie will have you feeling as if you’ve been placed inside an
emotional blender.

I recently caught this movie again on the IFC (Independent Film Channel) so if you have the IFC check the listings as it seems to come around every few months. If not,
go rent it. And. as always, you can thank me later.

One request from yours truly. If you do take my advice and watch the film, please leave a comment on what you thought of it. I’m very interested to see what others think of it.
