TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3144:

Today I'm pleased once again to have as guest blogger, Vinnie, who is writing 'His Take' on the Avatar Film on DVD that we rented this past Saturday night:

[SPOILER ALERT: This whole blog post is a 'Spoiler Alert', but with all the millions of people already seeing it, and talking about it...This is more of a review of the film from a tween's POV.]

AVATAR: 'My Take' On the Film Itself!

The movie is set in the year 2154, on a moon of the planet Polyphemus called Pandora in the Alpha Centauri star system. A company came to this planet to mine a mineral called unobtanium, for it's high value. Pandora's atmosphere, however, is toxic to humans, forcing them to use breathing masks. Pandora is mainly inhabited by a human-like species of blue-skinned, ten-feet-tall creatures, called the Na'vi. They live peacefully with nature, worshipping their goddess, Eywa. The scientists want to learn about the Pandoran people from within, so they create a hybrid of human and Na'vi, which they call avatars, that are controlled by a human through mental link by genetically matching humans.

I like the uniqueness of this movie. It brings many aspects up, that are normally overlooked, such as, the connection between a planet, and the creatures living on it. If one was without the other, the other couldn't survive. Also, the people of the planet need to care for their planet, for if we don't, the planet won't have anything to share with us. I also liked the array of imaginative creatures, like the Toruk, (which is pictured at the top left of this blog), a powerful flying predator that only five Na'vi have tamed, for its design and the creativity to make that animal up. They brought creatures in the movie that we wouldn't see in real life, making it even more so exciting. I enjoyed the vibrant colors that were in everything; plants, animals, just everything. That, I felt made the great movie even better.

 This movie is more suited for adults as there is quite a lot of cursing. There is also a lot of violence which isn't suggested for young children. I wouldn't recommend it unless that person was 10+ but suggested at least 13+. A good movie for a family with older-aged children.     

-------------------------------------------

That's the end of today's guest blog by Vinnie...My thanks to him for sharing here today what we watched this past weekend!

If YOU liked his review on this Film, you may enjoy reading his reviews on:  Coraline, Ponyo, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sonic the Hedgehog TPB Vol 1, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, just to name a few!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3143:

Today I'm pleased once again to have as guest blogger, my wife, Tina LoSasso, who mixes in a little bit of a comic convention we were at in April, with her thoughts of the upcoming Series Finale episode of 'LOST' tonight:

[SPOILER ALERT: None - as Tina has NOT seen the Series Finale as of this blog posting!]

LOST: Thanks for the Memories!

Like most fans, I'm drowning in a sea of mixed emotions right now.   Incredibly excited to see what happens tonight and, at the same time, I'm dreading my tv life without LOST.

After last week's 'What They Died For', I'm confident that 'The End' will make all these years of watching pay off big. From the moment that poor sap got sucked into the plane engine in the pilot, I was hooked. I like my shows to surprise me... show me something I didn't see coming during the opening credits.

I fell in love with LOST and its castaways when we got a glimpse into their lives off-island via those Season One flashbacks.  Finding out what they were like, why they were on the plane, What Did Kate Do, that Sun studied English so she could leave Jin (!) - this was rich stuff indeed. 

After last season, it seemed we'd had flashbacks on everyone - Rose and Bernard, even Ana Lucia, Nikki and Paolo (ugh). Everyone except the Man Who Never Ages, Richard Alpert. Where did he come from? How does he stay so calm? Where did he get the guyliner? What wrinkle cream does he use? At San Diego Comic Con, "Darlton" promised answers.  When they asked us if we wanted a Richard flashback, the crowd went wild.  The beautiful, answers-filled, emotion-packed "Ab Aeterno" was the result.

Michael and I had the pleasure of meeting Mirelly Taylor, (pictured above), who played Isabella, Richard’s wife. Her illness and death propels Richard to the Island. This wonderful episode showcased Nestor Carbonal’s talent. But, what an amazing job Mirelly did coming into the series at this late date, in a one-shot, and making us believe in her character. Her final scene speaking to Richard via Hurley had Michael and I both in tears.  (And we never cry over the same scenes in anything!)

What will I miss most about LOST? Besides the anticipation of what the # are they going to do to us this week, I’ll miss connecting with other fans over the show. My favorite times at SD Comic Con have been at LOST panels – and hanging out in line for hours and hours beforehand! This past year’s event was perhaps the best of all – at least since the first – probably because we knew it was the last. Fans out-did themselves in crazy costumes. One woman even dressed as a representation of The Island – I loved the little plane hanging from her hat!

I’ll never forget the two Hurleys in Dharma jumpsuits. When they caught sight of each other and started running towards the other, it was Desmond and Penny all over again!  (If you haven’t seen them, check out the YouTube video of the panel; they both talked to the real Hurley during the Q&A.

In the real world, it’s been fun discovering that someone is a LOST fan.  Once you know, it doesn’t take much to get them going and you discover a whole new side to them that you never knew.  How very LOST!

I hope everyone enjoys tonight’s finale. Michael and I will be hunkered down for the duration 7-11:30 and taping Jimmy Kimmel.  Here’s hoping we can all sleep tonight so we can get up and go to work in the morning and talk about LOST one last time…

-------------------------------------------

That's the end of today's guest blog by Tina...My thanks to Tina LoSasso, and Mirelly Taylor who spent time with us at the Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con talking about her role in LOST!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3142:

Yes, this was another publication given to me at the recent 2010 Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con in Artists Alley for possible review in this blog!  As You can tell from earlier posts, I met a lot of comics creators in the Artists Alley!

So what's this comic book about?  Well, on the back of the comic book itself is the promo blurb as follows:

"Super Siblings is a dynamic, light-hearted and sometimes off-the-wall story of sibling rivalry.  Like every "tween-aged" brother and sister, Conrad and Courtney Clark often don't get along.  They like to argue, bicker and blame one another for common occurences at home.

Although their childhood may sound typical, the Clark children turn it up a notch with the use of super powers. What's more, not only rivals at home, they have unwittingly become archenemies in public.  Conrad a.k.a. Scout, uses his powers for good. Courtney a.k.a. Banshee, uses her powers for bad.  Hidden in plain sight their secret identities remain intact, and they never suspect one another."

And as for this issue #2 in particular:

"Super Siblings #2: Join the Super Siblings as they take on the Elementary Science Fair."

So what's 'My Take' on this B&W interior pages comic book?

Front Cover:  The front cover shows enough to entice a casual browser into picking it up to thumb through.

Inside Front Cover:  Is blank...(blank?)...Yes, blank!

Splash Page: Not used as a 'splash page'. Starts right in with the storyline for this issue.

The Rest of the Pages: The story continues on to the final page that ends at page number 12. This is a full and complete story with NO 'to be continued' ending.

Inside Back Cover:  Blank (Again!).

Back Cover:  The 'Sales Pitch' - Want more? Sign up at supersiblings.com and get a FREE comic strip sent to your email address each week! 

So, as far as I could tell from this comic book, it could be considered a type of 'promotional comic' for the web comic strip.  And No, that's not bad, as that is probably how the creator is monetizing his efforts.

So would I sign up after reading this comic book?

I did, and here's why.  Although the comic book is presented in more of a 'promotional' format, the storyline was an interesting read to me.  It's probably because of the characters, who are very well written!

Plus to see a complete story in just 12 pages...How often do I see that anymore?  Not that often, trust me!

This is a pretty good 'intro' for a new reader to enter this universe.

It's just that the 'packaging' of this publication could have been a little more 'polished' when printed in the 'comic book' presentation. 

I would grade this Issue #2 as a 'Very Fine' (VF) 8.0 out of the 10.0 Grading Scale. The grade is for the 'total package' in this comic book format, not anything found on the web site.

Talking about the web site...there are actually several to choose from:

The Super Sibling Facebook Fan Page

SuperSiblingsComics.com

and the publisher's site: BansheeComics.com !
