double review: The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three and Action Comics 851 in 3-D

double review:

The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (slight spoilers)



While it does lack a firewalk, it makes up for it with a sweet ass 3rd rail suicide.
Walter Matthau is a fucking tough guy in the 70s. Lots of machine guns. New York is way cooler in the 70s. Wicked ragtag heist team. Awesome score. Great ending. Move it to the top of your queue. (Go for the ass kicking Walter Matthau double feature with "Charley Varrick" as well, unless you don't like post noir 70s crime flicks, barnstorming cropdusters and Joe Don Baker as a psychotic hit man. (if you don't, you're a sap.)

rating : 10 out of 10 fucking oscars





Action Comics 851 (3-D special)

Fuck. I have a lot of 3-D comics, but this is THE SWEETEST FUCK OF SHIT MOUNTAIN for 3-D comics. Yup, even better that the Dinosaurs For Hire 3-D special, and you know I wouldn't say something like that lightly. The 3-D is so fucking rad. I laughed. I cried. I tried to reach into the comic way more than I normally do.
This arc has been bad like Michael Jackson on the album "Bad", with Geoff Johns and Richard Donner (yup, that Richard Donner) writing, cool Adam Kubert art, General Zod, Mon-El, The Monstrous Non, the Phantom Zone, sweet as fuck 3-D phantom zone glasses for this issue, cool cliffhanger ending leading into the "Action Comics Annual 1". You can get the Johns/Donner "Last Son" arc, or the trade when it comes out if it has the 3-D shit with it, or have it high on your list of regrets on your death bed (if I was to hazzard a guess, it will probably be regret number four).
