The Umbrella Academy
Whoever put this art team together for Gerard Way has excellent taste! James Jean on covers. Gabriel Ba on interior art. Even if Mr. Way (of My Chemical Romance) had nothing to say, they'd make him look damned good. But he's actually is an excellent writer...so it's a beautiful comic all around.Thus far Dark House has release 2 issues of this Limited Series and I can't wait for more! The story drips with plenty of clever ideas like Eiffel Tower rocket ships, an Ochestra that searches for a song whose sound can destroy the world, alien invasions, and an astronaut with a Gorilla's body.If that's not your example of a good time, then just look at the lush artwork of Jean and Ba. :-)

Across The Universe
I just saw Julie Taymor's "Across The Universe". I loved it.Julie Taymor is the visual genius who directed the "Lion King" broadway show, "Titus", and "Frida". "Across The Universe" received a bit of attention for it's use of Beatles tunes.A bunch of people I know who were initially interested in the film ended up not seeing it because of the sub-par critical response. Big mistake. They're all missing out on one of the best cinematic experiences to hit theatres in a long time.The backbone of the plot is a love story so the unromantic may get bored (sorry Jerry, this one ain't for you!)...but what is built around it is filled with beauty, ambition, and heart.

Sex & The Pen
Here's a little skit that was done by some super talented actors. I'm sure you'll recognize many of them. Three of these actors are part of our "DREAM" cast for the Luchadores 5 Live Action film. Can you guess which ones?

MC Shar J (K-Fed's Baby's Mama)
I'm stooping pretty low here...but I admit that I'm far too happy to discover that Shar Jackson is a better singer and rapper than both Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.Up until now, Shar Jackson was a mildly successful actress that was duped by K-Fed to financially support him and their 2 children. That was a bad scenario turned worse when K-Fed left Shar for "superstar" Britney Spears.Years later, K-Fed has a failed marriage and rap career, Britney is crazy, and Shar is finding success with her post-liposuction look on MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar. I'm actually impressed with her stage presence and rhyme ability! Very few people can attempt Twista's World Record speedy delivery. "Shar J" manages to hold her own and still find time to exude a little femininity.Who knows if her newfound rhyme skills will lead to anything...but it's nice to see her bask in the Spotlight while her Ex and his Ex self destruct.Karma's a bitch.

Hollywood Hellhouse
My girlfriend loves Halloween...so she was super excited that they were going to open a Haunted House a few minutes from our home called the HOLLYWOOD HELLHOUSE. Her feelings changed when she discovered the website.She doesn't consider gang rapes at raves, bloody abortions, and homosexuals dying of AIDS to be her form of Halloween fun. I was shocked she failed to recognize the Christian "moral" subtext of Hellhouse.Upon further investigation I discovered that this was liberal Hollywood's take on a Pro-Christian Haunted House that started in the 1970s by the New Mexico based Destiny Church. Actors in Los Angeles found the material and concept so crazy that they decided to play it straight and perform the Haunted House to the guidelines of the Hellhouse Outreach Kit provided by the Hellhouse's Founder.Many of Hollywood's favorites have played various roles in the Hollywood Hellhouse since it's 2004 launch. Bill Maher has starred as Satan. Andy Richter played Jesus. Sarah Silverman was the abortion lady. I wonder who'll be the surprise guests this year?Clips Of Gueststars In Hollywood HellhouseA Nice Glimpse of Hellhouse From the Documentary
