Galactic Comics and Video

Johnny Knoxville and the Gang return in the highly anticipated Jackass 2 which is the definition of Critic Proof. You will either be busting a gut laughing or in the bathroom vomiting wondering how the decline of American culture has reached a new low. Remember that it's alright to sit naked on a giant block of ice where your genitals stick to it, as long as "It's for the Bro's"

Also released today is Brian Depalma's "Black Dahlia" with Scarlett Johansson, and Josh Hartnett. Based on a true Hollywood crime story from the 1940's set in LA.

We also got "The Descent". The Best Cave Monster movie ever. Claustophobia really sets in. A couple of years ago I recommended a great little Werewolf indie flick named "Dog Soldiers". That was directed by Neil Marshall's as well. I'm very pleased that they finally realized this mans skill by giving him a much bigger budget and letting him make possibly the best horror movie of the year.


Comic Books are coming in Thursday this week and next due to the holidays. My picks for this week are Astonishing X-men (Josh Whedon's books always late but worth the wait), Love and Rockets #18, Hack Slash (super fun for anyone who's ever enjoyed a good(or bad) horror movie, and Anita Blakes Vampire Hunters.

Hope Everyone has had a Merry Christmas.

Tomorrow is new movie day and here's what we got:

My Super Ex-Girlfriend: Funny stuff with Luke Wilson and Uma Thurman. It's not a smart thing to break up with a super hero. It's also got "Dwight" from the Office.

Little Miss Sunshine: More funny stuff with a wonderfully dysfunctional family on a road trip to enter their daughter in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. Alan Arkin is always terrific and we got Steve Carrell (also from the Office) in a more subdued role.

American Pie, the Naked Mile: Even more Comedy. How can you handle it?

Some more serious stuff too.

Lady in the Water: M Night Shyamalan's newest masterwork. Paul Giamatti comes in contact with a Narf from the Blue World. A nice creepy bedtime story.

Invincible: Mark Wahlberg begins his football career in his 30's. Based on a true story.

All the Kings Men: A remake of the classic starring Sean Penn, and James Gandolfini(Tony Soprano)

Scanner Darkly: Filmed live and then they animated over it (like in Waking Life), Keanu Reeves, and Robert Downey Jr.

Fearless: Jet Lee's Martial arts extravaganza

Wicker Man: Nicholas cage in the remake of the 1970's horror classic.



There is also lots of comicbook releases this week as well. Highlights include the Civil War crossovers, Darkman vs Army of Darkness, and a couple new transformers books. Transformers have been selling nonstop since all the anticipation of next summers movie was announced.

A couple of great Art books being released are Dan Breretons (Noctornals) and a Luis Royo Hardcover.

We also got new Rat Fink T-shirts coming in Wednesday that come with a free Rat Fink Wobler.

Other items include Marvel Comics paperweights, Star Wars statues, and a new Ugly Doll named Peaco.



Just One more thing. Check out this art that Marvel released by Michael Turner. Is this the New Fantastic Four? Civil War had divided them up but this shows the new four with Storm and Black Panther along with Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm. What a tease.

I will be working non stop this week with the Christmas Frenzy and all. Just want to say God Bless to everyone, and a Merry Merry Christmas.

Oh sweet baby Jesus, I pray that I see all of you here tomorrow for the best movie ever about Nascar. Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) are two of the funniest people alive right now. Better get here early, cause if ya aint first, you're last. Shake n Bake baby.

Also tomorrow, Devil Wears Prada, Barnyard, World Trade Center, Material Girls.


Wednesday offers lots of fine comic offerings with some of my picks being Danger Girl ultimate collection, Universe X (finally back in print), and available for the first time in soft cover is Olivia's Cheesecake Chronicles (We also carry her Hardcovers as well).

So much coming out this week. For movies tomorrow, Pirates Caribbean:Dead mans chest, Miami Vice, Pulse, Beerfest, How to eat fried Worms, 24 seas 6, Saturday Night Live Season one, and a whole bunch of great independent stuff.

Comics: Lots and lots of great stuff. 52 continues, graphic novels galore, a tremendous amount of hardcovers, artbooks, and a ton of other greatstuff to put under your Christmas tree.

Toys, Statues, collectibles, and a wide variety of novelties. Even that wonderful leg lamp from " A Christmas Story" is back again. It's a major award.

So much stuff. So much fun.
