Dredd
For many, the 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie was perhaps their first and only exposure to the character of Judge Dredd. Originally created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra for British comic …

posted in Movie Hype
Prometheus
In the run up to its release, there has been much speculation about the exact connections between Prometheus and the Alien movies. The genesis of the project was in 2002, with Alien (1979) director Ridley …

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicor
Before his death, Tintin creator, Georges "Hergé" Remi, remarked that Steven Spielberg was, in his opinion, the only director who could ever do the character justice on the big screen. …

Rango
I think it's fair to say that CGI animated movies are really coming of age. As well as actual animation quality reaching new levels of brilliance, films such as How To Train Your Dragon and recent …

Paul
From the TV show Spaced to the movies Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have rapidly proved themselves to be one of the great modern double acts of comedy, but, somewhat …

posted a Quick Tip about Iron Man 3 (2013 film). May 02
posted in Movie Hype
Iron Man 3 (2013 film)
Proof that the law of diminishing returns doesn't always apply, the third film in the Iron Man series is the best of the bunch. Indeed, I would go as far as to say that this is one of the best Marvel …
posted a Quick Tip about Black Hole (graphic novel). March 22, 2012
posted in Speech Bubbles: Comics & Graphic Novels
Black Hole by Charles Burns
An unsettling, allegorical tale of adolescence and mutation in the 1970s. Part coming of age drama, part Cronenbergian body horror. Burns' superb writing and bold black and white artwork make this a highly …
posted a Quick Tip about Blankets. December 05, 2011
Blankets
I adored this book, masterfully written and drawn by Craig Thompson. If you enjoy the work of Spiegelman, Clowes, Pekar and Sacco, you'll love this. Touching, funny, poignant and poetic, "Blankets" is …
posted a Quick Tip about Palestine. January 20, 2011
posted in Speech Bubbles: Comics & Graphic Novels
Palestine
The Palestinian / Israeli conflict is perhaps not the easiest of topics to convey through the comic book medium, but Joe Sacco does a startlingly good job of it. His raw, reportage style has a real immediacy …
posted a Quick Tip about She & Him Volume Two. October 10, 2010
posted in Music Matters
She & Him Volume Two
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward serve up another slice of Phil Spector-esque, summertime pop and country-tinged wistfulness. This is a very nostalgic sounding record that evokes classic 60s and 70s, singer/songwriter …

Enjoyed your Quick Tip on the newest Sherlock Holmes film. I felt the same way. I hope the sequel is more promising.

Thanks, Adrianna! All the ingredients were there to make something special, apart from a gripping story worthy of the character. Let's hope they manage to rectify that next time.
July 01, 2010
Yeah, I agree. I'll keep my fingers crossed until then. :)

Simon-- welcome to Lunch! I was checking out your site and was really digging your sketches-- very talented! Hopefully you can share some art related reviews here with the Lunch crowd. I know I love getting a little ART 101 while browsing reviews. I recently read and liked this review of artist Mark Rothko. Perhaps you will too. Feel free to drop me a message or comment if you have any questions while Lunching-- I'd be happy to help!
