Smallville Season 10: Teaser Trailers

The ninth season of "Smallville" ended with Clark given the Superman costume by Ma Kent, sharing a kiss with Lois and getting stabbed with blue kryptonite by Zod before sending all the Kandorians to limbo.

It is rumoured that Season Ten (the final season) will feature appearances by Booster Gold, Blue Beetle and even Darkseid. From the teasers above, it looks like Lex will return. Supergirl and Pa Kent also appears. Of course, the real attraction is Clark finally taking flight and putting on the classic Superman costume. It took him TEN SEASONS to finally do it but we're all thankful for the best coming-of-age superhero TV series ever made.

Quickie Movie Reviews - Inception, Salt, Law Abiding Citizen

Saw this more than a week ago. It was good. But not as good as what everyone else says it is. Truth be told, the multilayered dreamscape stuff hasn't been done so well on film before but seriously, this is old-skool comicbook stuff to people who read X-Men, Crisis On Infinite Earths, Exiles, Fantastic Four, etc. It's always good to see Ellen Page (Juno) though... :)

Saw this during my lunch break just now. Long story short: this is the *real* BLACK WIDOW movie. Angelina Jolie is the perfect Russian spy. Wonder whose stupid idea it was to think that Scarlett Johansson could pull off the Black Widow role in the first place when Jolie is still alive and kicking! Can't wait to see the sequel.

Kurt Wimmer wrote "Salt" in 2010 and "Law Abiding Citizen" in 2009. This is one dangerous mutha-$%*@, my friends! I saw "Law Abiding Citizen" on DVD with my wife late last night and we were totally blown away by this anarchic, break-the-system film. Gerald Butler teaches Jamie Foxx about the true meaning of justice beyond the bureaucratic "justice" system. Every law student should watch this film before going into practice and losing their sense of justice later on.

Highlights From The Latest Marvel Solicitations (Oct 2010)

It's the convention season again so Marvel has decided to delay the release of their latest solicitation previews until the big announcements in the convention. Anyway, the latest solicitations are finally up and you can check them out at CBR.

Some of the items that caught my eye are:

Uncanny X-Force #1 by Rick Remender (Punisher) and Jerome Opena (Moon Knight). Wolverine is leading the X-Force to kill Apocalypse. This is a no-brainer and I'm definitely jumping on board!

Ultimate Thor #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Carlos Pacheco. Hickman is fast becoming my favourite Marvel writer with his excellent stuff on Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D. Carlos Pacheco is among my favourite artists ever - check out "Avengers Forever" if you still need to be convinced. But it's Ultimate Thor. I don't know. Thor was my favourite character when I was a kid. Now? Not so much. Maybe the upcoming movie will reignite my love for the Asgardian? Hmmm....

Chaos War #1 & 2 by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente featuring the return of Hercules. I'm so there already! Thor guest-stars.

Captain America Lives Omnibus - I'm glad I stayed off the "The Man With No Face", "Road To Reborn" and "Reborn" trades. Marvel is reprinting the whole thing in an omnibus edition. This is a must-have for anyone who had already purchased the first two omnibuses.

Atlantis Attacks Omnibus - I'm glad to see this huge storyarc finally in an omnibus. It was one of the biggest stories when I was a kid. I read an issue here and an issue there. That's the tragedy of growing up in a town without a comic-retailer. I had to pick up my stuff off the newstand. Anyway, I don't remember much about the story - only that it featured Namor and the Atlanteans flooding the whole Marvel Universe.

Doomwar Hardcover - The Black Panther/Doom crossover (more accurately Wakanda/Latveria crossover) gets the oversized hardcover treatment. I haven't been following Black Panther for some time so I'm not so sure about this.

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty Hardcover - I'll get this one over the Reborn hardcover above. I have a softspot for Mark Waid's Cap and it's good to see his WWII/Invaders stuff from the 1990s finally given the oversized hardcover treatment.

X-Force: A Force To Be Reckoned With - I've always wondered why the Liefeld X-Force issues have never been reprinted in a hardcover collection. Love him or hate him, no one can deny the impact that Liefeld made in the early 1990s with X-Force. Pick this one up with the Cable hardcover and relive the era of shoulder-pads, ginormous guns and constipated facial expressions.

Thor: Worldengine - This is the 4-issue arc from the mid-1990s by Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato. I read a review recently saying that Deodato sucked in the 1990s and that he's really good now. I don't know what the reviewer was smoking when he wrote that. Deodato was fantastic in the 1990s. Check out his work with William Messner-Loebs on "Wonder Woman" and "Thor". Time was, Deodato's art was clear and powerful. Time now, he hides behind large shades of inking. Pick this one up for the classic Deodato artwork.

Back To Hell's Kitchen

Stopped by Borders an hour ago to pick up the second volume omnibus collection of Ed Brubaker's "Daredevil" run. This, along with the first volume that I already own, collect the entirety of Bru's work on DD; including the Annual and the "Blood of the Tarantula" one-shot. I can't wait to get home (after work this evening) and read the whole thing in one-sitting. This sets things up nicely for Andy Diggle's run and the present goings-on in the "Shadowland" event.
