Louie, Season One (2010)

I was introduced to the joys of Louis C.K. recently. If you haven't met Louis C.K. yet, then this is the show you need to watch. I really like this show and I hope the quality stays high for season two. Get yourself over to your local Netflix Streaming device and watch this.

Netflix Rating: Four Stars

Finding Amanda (2008)

A good performance from Matthew Broderick makes this a watchable movie. I was entertained. Not much else to say.

Netflix Rating: Three Stars

Flickchart Ranking: 1543

My Top Five Matthew Broderick Movies:
1) Ferris Bueller's Day Off
2) Election
3) Family Business
4) The Freshman
5) The Cable Guy

The Breakup Artist (2004)

Edward Burns was listed as being in this movie, so I figured I'd give it a try on Netflix Streaming. We made it through about 20 minutes before turning it off. I did not like it at all. I can't even remember if I saw Edward Burns; he is listed as having a Special Appearance. It would have to be very special to save this movie.

Netflix Rating: One Star

Flickchart Ranking: not on Flickchart

Bend It Like Beckham (2002)

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

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.
