Bagged And Boarded – Return of Bruce Wayne

Welcome to “Bagged and Boarded”, a series of articles by Kevin Beckham and Dustin Cabeal. In “Bagged and Boarded” two comic fans express their thoughts/opinions about an issue or comic event.

This week we discuss DC Comic’s Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne 1 of 6.

The most anticipated series of 2010 is here! Superstar writer Grant Morrison tackles his most ambitious project to date with THE RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE, a special six-part series that chronicles the return of the original man behind Batman’s cape and cowl! Each issue spans a different era of time and features the dynamic artwork of one of today’s artistic juggernauts, starting with Chris Sprouse (TOM STRONG) on the extra-sized issue #1 – DCcomics.com

V – Red Sky (Season Finale)

The season is complete and V has well and truly invaded our TV sets, unmercifully culling Flashforward while solidifying its own position with consistently good ratings. Is it a shining example of Sci-Fi drama? Or does a look beneath the surface reveal something not so pretty?

ABC 2010 Fall Season Lineup

Like NBC, ABC seems to have made a major revamping of its lineup.  Gone are freshman shows FlashForward, The Deep End, the forgotten, Eastwick, the short lived Happy Town, and Romantically Challenged with Alyssa Milano all replaced with seven new shows.  Also discontinued is sophomore comedy Better Off Ted as well as long time favorites Scrubs and Ugly Betty.  There are three mid-season replacements and V which was not canceled but seems to be missing from the schedule, but ABC President Steve McPherson made the decision to keep V over Flashforward.  Still it’s strange that it does not appear in the fall schedule and must be meant as a mid-season or spring intro.

Trailer Tracker: Easy A, Charlie St. Cloud, Secretariat

Welcome to “Trailer Tracker” where we at Player Affinity unfoundedly dissect the latest trailers to hit the web. In another uneventful week for clips we’ll take a gander at rising star Emma Stone’s first lead project with Easy A, weep just a bit with the heart-tugger Charlie St. Cloud starring Zac Efron, gallop on with the famous horse Secretariat  and finish off with the Grindhouse-esque, ultra low budget and aptly named revenge flick Vengeance with Danny Trejo.

108 Things I’ll Miss About Lost

108 things I’ll miss/ things I loved/ remaining thoughts about Lost:

1. Maybe this will be repeated, one way or another in this list, it was nice to have a show that made the audience look for more. It was a difficult show all the way.
2. Hurley. Jorge Garcia has that kind of best friend look to him that is truly endearing.
3. Having a show that pulled off time travel in multiple ways, multiple times.
4. Ben Linus. I just remember when he first came on and thinking, “Jesus, that guy is slimy.” I wanted him dead. As always:
5. That this show rarely gave viewers what they wanted, and we were better for it.
6. The actors. Not to sound shallow, but so many of them were really good looking. Evangeline Lily and  Emilie de Ravin for the guys, Josh Holloway for the ladies…  
7. Mr. Eko. Yeah, he’s been gone for 3 seasons, but off all the ones who didn’t make it, I think I miss him the most.
8. Having my head hurt when thinking about the show. That’s a good thing.
9. Daniel Faraday. I have always loved Jeremy Davies; loved having a physicist interested in time travel as a character on a major network show.
10. Speaking of Faraday, one of my favorite episodes: “The Constant.” One of those, “My god what a great effin episode!” that Lost was capable of delivering 3 times a season.

Daybreakers Review

Riding the most recent wave of monster-dom, Daybreakers hits DVD shelves and is yet another entry in the endless parade of vampire films to hit the market since the arrival of a little film called Twilight (which I hear is somewhat popular). Breaking with recent trends however, Daybreakers is by far the best of the bunch; high concept and high reward.

Frenemy of the State #1 – Review

What if Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan worked for the C.I.A.? That is basically what Frenemy of the State is about, but don’t be so quick to write it off. The idea is simple and brilliant. How Hollywood or some other entertainment faucet has come up with the idea just proves its brilliance.

Ariana Von Holmberg is the daughter of Actress Katherine Walsh and Count Stefan Von Holmberg. She’s American royalty and famous for being famous. She’s also incredibly smart and physically fit. She’s attending an unbirthday party for one of her friends or frenemy, with ulterior motives. She needs to break into the hosts safe and steel a flash drive for the C.I.A. Ariana didn’t always work for the government. Once she was just like the other celebs drinking, partying, not wearing underwear. Then her boyfriend cheated on her. The catch is that boyfriend’s dad is a Senator and she broke into his home to catch the cheater.

Lost – Across the Sea

I’m always willing to give a show the benefit of the doubt.  I’ve been doing this for six years with Lost, even through the rough patches I assumed that the writers would provide us loyal fans with a somewhat clear direction in which the show was going to move.  Lost has never been a show that’s been easy to predict, but it’s nice to know that there is a purpose to everything we’re watching.  I’ve felt comfortable with everything Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof have done with the show: the alternate universe, the smoke monster inhabiting Locke’s body, and any other ridiculous things that have pushed the show to the brink of science fiction.  When it’s done right, it’s entertaining, albeit a bit confusing.  However, last night’s episode of Lost, “Across The Sea,” took a story that should have been interesting to the nth degree and misused its many opportunities to answer some questions and give us an hour’s worth of great back-story on a couple of Lost’s most confusing characters.  I was still glued to the screen, but I could feel my attention span slipping a little, something that rarely happens on Lost.

Trailer Tracker: Super 8, Inception, The Adjustment Bureau and I Spit on Your Grave

Welcome back to the newly named “Trailer Tracker” where we at Player Affinity inspect the newest trailers with ruthless efficiency. In this relatively clip-light week we’ll take a look at J.J. Abrams’ secret project

Brightest Day #1

In the zero issue for Brightest Day, Deadman a.k.a. Aliveman, traveled from one resurrected super person to the next. The entire issue was very reminiscent of another DC series… 52. The pacing, the structure and the voice of the series are nearly the same.

This issue continues where Green Lantern #53 left off, with Sinestro bringing Hal to the white lantern. The lantern came falling back to Earth after Blackest Night and now sits in a crater in the middle of a small town. Hal attempts to move the lantern, but is unable to. The white lantern is the now the sword in the stone and the group must find its Arthur. The story then cuts to Deadman, who is still traveling invisibly from one resurrected hero to the next. He was invisible in death and now wonders why he’s invisible in life as well.
