So, I've got this brand new television; something has got to be the first thing I watch. Of course that should be 'Bend It Like Beckham'. I really like this movie and I've seen it several times now. All the performances are great, but I particularly like the actors playing Jess' parents. I'll definitely be watching this movie more in the future.
Netflix Rating: Four Stars
Flickchart Ranking: 348
My Top Five Keira Knightley Movies:
1) Love Actually
2) Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl
3) Bend It Like Beckham
4) King Arthur
5) Domino

So, I got a new tv...
Thanks to the generosity of my aunt and my wife, I got a new tv for my birthday. We've been without a decent tv for some time. This has rekindled my interest in watching movies. I've also been using Flickchart.com quite a bit. I've got almost 2000 movies ranked there. It is an awesome site and you should check it out. So, to combine these two interests I'm gonna post some mini-reviews on here. No real reason behind it, just something to pass the time.

Mark's Box - April 2010
Black Blizzard by Yoshihiro Tatsumi - From the author of A Drifting Life. I have high hopes for this. I think I'll go read it right..... now.
Donald Duck Classics: Quack Up by Carl Banks - I enjoy Donald much more on the page than on do I on the screen.
The Compleat Cannon by Wallace Wood - Super Spy comics from the 60s with lots of violence and sex. Sounds like a good time to me.

Mark's Box - March 2010
Almost Silent by Jason - A new book by Jason! Yay! It is awesome! I'll be buying Jason books until I die.
Sexy Chix by various women - A compilation of comics written/drawn by women. I accidentally ordered two copies of this, so if you want one...
Star Wars Adventures: Luke Skywalker & The Treasure of the Dragonsnakes by Tom Taylor - I've been buying these cool looking Star Wars Adventures books, but haven't read them yet. The stories sounds fun and they skew young, but the art looks great and I am looking forward to them.

Mark's Box - February 2010
No Hero by Warren Ellis & Juan Jose Ryp - Written by Warren Ellis, so there is a high probability it will be good. Other than that I know nothing about this book.
Rose by Jeff Smith - The prequel to Bone, which I haven't read.
The Barry Windsor-Smith Conan Archives by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith - I really enjoy the old Conan comics, so I'm looking forward to tackling this book once volume two arrives.

Mark's Box - January 2010
I've decided to stick with the Amazon links thing for two reasons. It is easy and no one is reading this stuff anyway.
Dead @ 17 Afterbirth by Josh Howard - One of my all time favorite series continues. Josh Howard is awesome and you should be reading Dead@17.
Moyasimon by Ishikawa Masayuki - A dude can see bacteria. He goes to agricultural school. Hilarity ensues. Who knew that bacteria were so adorable?
Atomic Robo by four names I don't feel like typing - The word all over the street is that Atomic Robo is awesome. So, i decided to find out for myself. The street is right.

Mark's Box - December 2009
I haven't posted anything in awhile, so I'm going to do some quick posts to update what has been in my boxes the past few months. Also trying out this Amazon Associates thing which will hopefully make oit easier for me to do these posts. Finding decent pictures and reviews can sometimes be a pain. Maybe Amazon can help. So, without further ado....
Criminal by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips - I've been wanting to get caught up on Ed Brubaker's older stuff and this crime series is supposed to be excellent. I've got quite the stack of Brubaker sitting unread on my shelf. Incognito, Sleeper, Criminal. I really need to find some time to dig into this stuff.
The Summit of the Gods by Yumemakura Baku & Jiro Taniguchi - I have basically decided to buy any book that Ponent Mon releases. Especially if Jiro Taniguchi is involved. I'm not particularly interested in the subject matter of this series, but I have yet to be disappointed by a Ponent Mon book. Someone there really knows what they are doing.
The Misadventures of Jane by JHG Freeman & Norman Pett - I am obsessed with all things British, so I couldn't pass up the chance to find out more. Jane was a World War II-era pinup and comic strip character that was very popular with soldiers. Possibly because she always seemed to end up missing some clothing. This was an entertaining read, but not brilliant. A nice peak into the past.
