Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends- has that coolest feel of 70s style weirdness, imagry like a cross between the partridge family, or maybe 1970s family fued/Mamma's Family, mixed in with Sid and Marty Krofft... besides, any "kid" cartoon show that can sneak in a Frankie Goes to Hollywood joke is OK in my book...

The Powerpuff Girls- I cant believe that its been so long since Ive checking this show out... Its gotten sooo weird since Ive seen it last, and with so many more in-jokes....

Justice League Unlimited- Ambitious? Yes. Overkill? Maybe. While it is cool to see all the DC characters animated, it does seem to feel a tad watered down at times... Lol, and I love Jeffry Combs as the voice of The Question, playing him off as a sociopathic paranoid conspiracy theorist obcessed with the backstreet boys' connections with the pentagon's interests in the Wal-Mart chain... Something tells me that they're pouring everything they have into a last ditch pull out all the stops effort to revitilize the franchise... and it isnt too bad...

The Wall- Maybe a tad more pretentious and abstract than it needed to be, and often times the songs didnt sound like they were sung with the right emotion (Pink Floyd is as scary and threatening as a braindead hippi)- Ah, yes, and it is hard to take seriously a facist dictator named Pink, and who looks and sounds like Gary Numan.,..

The Passion- The only way that this movie could be more anti-semetic is if it was produced by Henry Ford and directed by Josef Goebbels.

Married with Children season 1- Definitly ahead of its time, but looking back, now by today's standards (as well as knowing how the show is going to evolve)- it seems to be somewhat lacking... it does has its great parts as well as its depressed, regined dark wit, but clearly shows that it has yet to find its footing in the first season...

The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire- Having a show that I used to watch after middle school on Nick-At-Nite, a program that I can still remember airing Mr. Ed, Donna Reed, Laughin, and Dobie Gillis reruns, makes me feel kinda old... Lol, but have I ever missed that show... Well written, great comedy+comedic timing, wonderful acting as well as characters, and also managed to superbly pull off the Fish out of water premise humour- hiphop urban vs. high class wealth without lowering itself by resorting to lowbrow race card humour (like 'Method and Red')... wonderful color nearsighted comedy everyone can enjoy...

You Are Here by Kyle Baker- proof that he actualy IS capable of crafting an organized story- his Don Bluth-ish cartoony style still takes some getting used to (or at least getting used to it being used in a serious-ish setting)- the character foiling and frantic comedy is well done, and it has one of those great endings that is unexpected, but at the same time, is not anti-climatic.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban- It does seem to lack the luster that the 1st 2 movies had, and does seem to be getting a tad stale (you'd figure that Potter would be used to living in constant fear of his life)- the best part is that the ending definitly throws one for a loop- maybe a little anti-climatic, but Id rather it be an anti-climatic surprise than an obvious cliche that I would have already figured out from the begining (which the movie was almost in danger of being...)

Taxi Driver- Highly complex movie- great example of what lonliness and isolation can do to an individual- how without love, understanding, forgiveness, and without purpose, bitterness, hate, and wrath can fester and consume unchecked.

Desire hurts, trying to fullfill desire is scary, rejection kills, and being blown off as a sociopath hurts the most, like a malicious stab in the back. Hurt, wounded, and not quite knowing how to deal with his feelings, he turns his bitterness outward, to an evil society, scum, wretches, hypocrites, etc. And the congressman... he who IS the people, seems to e the likely (illogical, but still most likely) embodyment of his enemy, until the driver has a change to meet true evil, taking advantage of true innocense (as opposed to his innosence being betrayed, or actualy, his innosence betraying someone else), and finaly knowing what the real problem of society is, who the real enemy is, and ultimately ends up doing the right thing (or at least the better of two evils, depending on your perspective), and in the end, he comes out the hero, and is even forgiven for his previous transgressions... As he puts the finger to his head and pulls the imaginary trigger, he symbollicaly kills the demon inside, exorcising the bitterness, knowing that he finaly helped someone, and can finaly now come out of his shell.

Oribiter by Warren Ellis- Great SciFi mystery, but seems a little short for a hard cover graphic novel... seems a little incomplete- it would have nice to read on about what was found in outer space, the travels of the ship, etc... But I can also see why it was left out, or better to say, left to the imagination of the reader... it does leave room for a sequal though...

Global Frequency by Warren Ellis- the perfect comic to port to a TV series... as if it were specificaly design for a series of one hour stand alone television shows... and of course, with Warren Ellis' trademark morbid creativity...
