Hi, Folks!

Johnny Saturn no. 7 is off to the printers!  After a long delay, it is ready to be published.  I take full for the delay, because I had to go back and color eleven pages of it.

Last week, by the power of Netflix, I watched “Journey to the Center of the Earth” with Brendan Fraser.  Cute movie, but aimed at a 13-year-old audience.  Also, this movie will take pretty much anything you know about physics and tosses it out.

Earlier this week, I watched the latest James Bond movie, a “Quantum of Solace.”  I though it was excellent, and I really like this new, grittier, more realistic take on Bond.  No funky spy gadgets, little to no cheesiness, and actual acting mark the last two movies.  Daniel Craig pulls off the role with macho, hardcore skill.  Judi Dench, a brillaint actor, carries on as M, a solid co-star in the film.

Last night, I watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.  I sort of expected this series to stagger to an end, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie was quite good.  I loved the first one, and the second one had some moments that redeemed it for me.  Rachel Weisz chose not to return, but Maria Bello did a fine job replacing her.
