movies and comics, oh my!

Went to see American Gangster last night. A very good crime flick and one of the only movies I've seen this year that feels like an oscar movie. Denzel Washington should get a nod and the direction of Ridley Scott is focused soley on the story he is telling. Very very good.

But I liked the Darjeeling Limited better. I've always had a soft spot for Wes Anderson and this is his most serious film yet. Makes me want to research Indian train lines.

Picked up Hellboy Darkness Calls #6 today and it ends the story for baba yaga yet again. It was a very good Hellboy story overall and I really really love the coloring in this book.

Also got Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-men # 23 and it was o.k. but not as emotionally charged as the past few issues. Give it a B.
