(03/06/10) It is easy to compare this story with The Illusionist (released same year), they are both about magicians, both at the turn of the century. However, where the later is fantasy, this one is more in line with science-fiction. The acting is equally good, however, in The Prestige the writing falls flat. There is not enough build-up to the main character's psyche to explain his actions, as we learn them, at the end of the film -- which is sad, since the rest of the story worked very well and we are given insight into David Bowie's portrayal of the scientist, Tesla, and his odd remorse for what he created, a kind of teleportation machine.See less

(11/05/09) Movie critic Roger Ebert summed it up very succinctly: "Of all of the Star Trek movies, this is the worst." Subsequent films in the popular series have done nothing to disprove this opinion; we can be grateful that they've all been significantly better since this film was released in 1989. After Leonard Nimoy scored hits with Star Trek III and IV, William Shatner used his contractual clout (and bruised ego) to assume directorial duties on this mission, in which a rebellious Vulcan (Laurence Luckinbill) kidnaps Federation officials in his overzealous quest for the supreme source of creation. That's right, you heard it correctly: Star Trek V is about a crazy Vulcan's search for God. By the time Kirk, Spock, and their Federation cohorts are taken to the Great Barrier of the galaxy, this journey to "the final future" has gone from an embarrassing prologue to an absurd conclusion, with a lot of creaky plotting in between. Of course, die-hard Trekkies will still allow this movie into their...See less

(11/05/09) "Ultimate Spider-Man: Irresponsible," reprints issues #40-45 of "Ultimate Spider-Man." This seventh volume in the reprint series shows one of the strengths of this series, which goes back and retells the story of Spider-Man, starting Peter Parker off a bit younger, having Mary Jane around from the beginning, and taking several issues to tell each story. For the most part these stories have played off what happened the first time around, but that is not the case with "Irresponsible." This story arc by writer Brian Michael Bendis, penciler Mark Bagley, and inker Art Thibert, finds Peter Parker with two problems. First, he and Mary Jane have broken off their relationship, which has effectively ended their friendship as well. Second, after his battle with Venon, his costume has been ruined (at least he did not lose it this time). He has jury-rigged a mask, but the eye lens keeps falling out. Then while hanging out with all the kids one night, he sees Geldoff, a foreign exchange student who...See less

(11/05/09) One of the things that has made Spider-Man such an enduring character is the gang of colorful misfits who make up his rogues' gallery. In this tale, his five greatest foes-Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, Electro, Kraven the Hunter and Sandman-have been incarcerated in a high-security prison for the criminally supervillainous. Although doped up and under interrogation, they escape and unite, and begin searching for the sixth member of their unstoppable team for evil. Unfortunately, the cover itself gives away some of the mystery surrounding the sixth member: could it possibly be Spider-Man himself? Readers should be aware that this story is set in Marvel's "Ultimate" universe, where characters have been refurbished for 21st-century audiences. So, for example, the Green Goblin now transforms into an actual demon (instead of putting on a corny mask and suit). Bendis's terse dialogue and Hairsine's detailed, action-packed art gives the story a nice momentum, but little is gained by the...See less

(11/05/09) "Ultimate Knights" was the last story arc on "Ultimate Spider-Man" that writer Brian Michael Bendis and penciler Mark Bagley did together in establishing a new record for most consecutive issues done by a writer-artist team (the previous record had been Stan Lee and Jack Kirby doing the first 102 issues of "The Fantastic Four"). Volume 18 of these "Ultimate Spider-Man" trade paperback collections contains issues #106-110, and knowing it is the last story arc by Bendis and Bagley (inked by Drew Hennessy) together makes me think that explains why they throw so many Ultimate Marvel superheroes into the mix for this last roundup. I have to say that I thought there were too many superheroes running around in this one and that they overly complicate the end game that is the payoff here. As the cover indicates, we start off with Daredevil, who back in "Ultimate Spider-Man Annual" #2 had warned our young hero off of trying to be a teenage superhero. Now, as his alter ego, lawyer Matt Murdock,...See less

(10/04/09) From Publishers Weekly When this first of four volumes was serialized, its selling point was that it was a weekly, soap-operatic series happening in real time, a sort of 24 with superheroes, written by four major comics names. As a single book, it's a compelling mess: a breakneck but occasionally jolting tour of a fictional world whose balance of power is rapidly shifting, and it's packed with Easter eggs for longtime comics readers. The cast of hundreds includes time travelers, space travelers, a down-on-her-luck ex-cop recruited by a faceless hero to replace him, a Chinese government-sponsored superhero team, and mad scientists mysteriously vanishing by the score; there's a grand, Lost-like conspiracy to which this volume offers plenty of clues but no solutions. Keith Giffen's layouts flow smoothly and give the book a measure of consistency; they're fleshed out by an assortment of cartoonists, mostly in solid examples of the generic superhero style of 2006. The writing team's knack...See less
