I know I haven't posted in quite awhile so here it goes. My last post being about Black Sheep
which was a movie I enjoyed very much. So it seems like my blog posts aren't just about comics they are about movies and other media. I don't think I've talked about video games or tv shows before this but I am going to start posting about these things. This blog started off as a comics blog because comics were something I buy every week. I definitely don't buy video games every week but I play video games every week. I also don't go to the movie theater every week but I probably watch at least one movie every week. I don't think I'll have a weekly netflix movie post, because no one is probably interested in reading about some old boring movie anyway. A weekly Movie section wouldn't be any different then the old graphic novels so that is something I will give a try. Now I won't be abandoning comics I still have most of last weeks comics in a stack in my room which I will soon get through. And I eat Criminal up. Criminal was always one of my favorite comics but now it is my favorite comic period. Here are some individual reviews.
Persepolis
So this is a couple years old but I will review it hear anyway. So Persepolis starts out with Marji a soon to be teenager living in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. Persepolis is classified as a graphic memoir and It taught me about Islam and just how it is living in Iran. Persepolis doesn't grab me the way some comics have but I still looked forward to reading it. My sister thought the first 30 pages or so were too political and more of a history lesson then anything. Persepolis is political and often sort of a history lesson, but is it ever boring?. No Persepolis is very well scripted and has it's fair share of light-hearted anecdotes. About half-way through I didn't know what I thought about Persepolis but by the time I finished I knew I loved it. So is is for everyone? No but There is a Persepolis animated movie coming out sometime and I will take my sister to it. Maybe then she will read Persepolis. There is a also Persepolis 2 which I hope to read in the near future.Fido
Persepolis to Fido. Fido is a zombie comedy. Fido is very well done and very funny. I really can't think of anyone who wouldn't like this movie. Fido is a period movie where everyone has a zombie. Some for manual labor some for other things. A husband and wife wonderfully played by both Carrie-Anne Moss and Dylan Baker (Drive) get a zombie to help around the house. Their son befriends the zombie and names him Fido. The rest of the movie is mostly about the kid and his various adventures with Fido. Fido is recommenced to anyone looking for a fun time with a zombie flick.
In the next couple of days I expect to review a few comics and talk about Half-Life 2 episode 2 so have an exciting week bye.

Hi Kimberly,
Thank you for the Shout-Out to AS-R! This Humble Author is Quite Grateful for your Readership, but more importantly, is Grateful for the Black Sheep recommendation. How does it stand up to other bizarre horror movies, like, say, Severance? (We Reads have a Weakness for horror, Good and Bad, Great and Small, Big Budget and Indie, American and British).
Ciao,
Amy
Hi thanks for writing the great blog and adding me to your smart person blog list. I have not seen Severance but I will look out for it in the future. I have watched the trailer and it looks like more of a plot driven movie then Black Sheep. Black Sheep was pretty much about sheep killing people (and vice versa) in various ridiculous ways. Also I highly recommend Fido, probably even more so then Black Sheep. Fido is a zombie comedy that's really well done. It has great writing, acting, and comedy and is a movie I am sure you will love. Also I'm just curious about how you found my blog, the stat counter says nobody has visited in weeks. Thanks for the commenting bye.

Did you recently upgrade your blog? My counter didn't transfer over when I did so. If I wasn't showing up as a hit, mayhaps there is a bug in the coding?
I found you through a hit from your post referencing AS-R, through my counter. Very glad I did!
Ciao,
Amy
