state and main — david mamet

A film crew is tak­ing over a lit­tle peace­ful town, because it hap­pens to have an old mill. The old mill fea­tures in the most impor­tant scene of the film and is there­fore of great impor­tance. But after the direc­tor (Walt) gets the news the old mill has burnt down, the usual tur­moil turns into full blown panic. The script writer (Joe) has to write another end­ing to the movie, and, o yeah, just a lit­tle prob­lem, has to come up with a new name for the movie. If that is not enough already the main actress sud­denly doesn’t want to show her boo­bies to the pub­lic any­more and the main actor is doing what he is famous for with ‘younger women’.
It should be enough to drive a man crazy. Is Walt ever going to have his film? 

johnny bunko — daniel h. pink & rob ten pas

Johnny Bunko works for Boggs corp. in a dead end job in finance. He majored in account­ing because his father thought that was a safe way to go, although Johnny wanted to chose adver­tis­ing or art his­tory and draw­ing.
When he needs to pull another all-nighter he goes to grab some noo­dles. Once back at his seat in the office he opens his chop­sticks and some­thing mag­i­cal hap­pens: a genie named Diana appears before him to teach him the six career secrets he has to know to exploit his poten­tial and reach the goals he wants.

monster — naoki urasawa

Two chil­dren, twins, are brought in the hos­pi­tal after their adop­tive par­ents are bru­tally mur­dered. The girl is in shock, the boy has severe head trauma. Doctor Kenzo Tenma, a Japan­ese man work­ing and liv­ing in Ger­many, saves the life of this young boy called Johan against the wishes of the direc­tor of the hos­pi­tal, and father of his fiancee Eva. Not a smart move in many ways. He dis­cred­its him­self with the direc­tor and with Eva, who lost her inter­est in Kenzo overnight, and sec­ondly, and most impor­tantly, he seems to have saved not just a boy, but a boy that proves to be a Monster.

were has she gone

I know peo­ple, I know…
I haven’t been post­ing lately and I’m hang­ing my head in shame, but some­times real­ity takes over, things have to be taken care of and time isn’t on your side.
Well, time hasn’t been on my side for a while now and read­ing became a lux­ury where I can only dream of.
The worst is over though and you will soon see my reviews pop­ping up again.

Thanks for your patience.
