Family Guy presents Blue Harvest.  Written by Alec Sulkin, Directed by Dominic Pocino, and Created by Seth MacFarlane.  Freakin’ sweet!

I bought the extra-special edition that came in the bigger box because I’m a huge Family Guy fan.  I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed.  Definitely not disappointed.  This edition came with the DVD, a “digital copy” of the film, a booklet with some artwork, and an XL t-shirt.  Holy crap was it a lot.  The t-shirt was a nice idea.  It’s just too geeky to be real.  The digital copy is well worth the extra money for the extra-special edition.  The digital copy by the way is a copy that you can import into iTunes or Windows Media Player so you can load it on your portable device.  This is a step in the right direction.  All dvd’s should come with this, or at least all extra-special editions of dvd’s should.  The plot is Star Wars:  A New Hope.  And honestly the movie is almost the same except for the hilarity that ensues from the first scene on.  This movie is a must see.  Borrow it, rent it, netflix it, or buy it… watch this movie.  Final Word.

Vampire Knight. Story and Art by Matsuri Hino. A Shojo Beat manga. One heck of a story so far. This is part one of a two-part review on this manga series. I’ll be doing part 2 after reading volume 3. This will give you a better idea of whether or not it’s worth it to get involved with the story.

My impression from the first volume is simple: go out and get this book now! It’s story and characters are developing fast and there is such a deep, deep story at the heart of this series that you won’t go wrong reading the first volume. The story revolves around a school, Cross Academy. There are two classes, a day class and a night class. The day class is human and the night class are vampires. Two of our main characters are humans whose families were taken from them at an early age by vampires. Yuki and Zero function as the “disciplinary committee”. Their job is to safeguard the secret that the night class are vampires. I haven’t, and won’t, give away anything that’s not on the back cover of the book.

With the formal introduction out of the way, this is a story that could evolve several directions. Characters are starting to form into factions and clash, not so much physically… yet. So far main characters are introduced and side characters are acknowledged. I haven’t run into the curse of 10 pages of history about a side character only to find that they are only a side character and not important to anything at all. There’s some feelings of love with our heroine towards two opposing people…. Like I said, it’s shaping up to be a great story. I can’t wait until next month when I can read another volume. Be looking for part 2 of this review in the future.

The final word on Vampire Knight: go out and buy Vol 1, you won’t regret it.

I started reading the Vector crossover series last night.  Luckily I got in on part 1 of the 12 part crossover comic book.  It starts with Knights of the Old Republic #25, published by Dark Horse Comics.  This is a comic series that is set in the Star Wars universe and follows the time-line featured in the hit game.

I’ve got to say, the cover grabbed my attention.  Darth Vader standing behind three other Jedi.  Definitely awesome cover art by Travis Charest, best known for Wild C.A.T.s (another awesome comic).  Penciled and Inked by a couple of GREAT artists that aren’t known for much other than their current work on Vector.  The story grabs you up in a torrent of action via John Jackson Miller (known for some Crimson Dynamo and Iron Man).  I’m not sure where we’re going with this story and can’t wait to let you know how it ends.

Final word:  Buy this comic.  It’s well worth it.  If you’re a serious Star Wars collector or fan, you must own it… even if you’re not into comics.
