How The World Was: A California Childhood is another triumph for Emmanuel Guibert

  This is how one should be remembered! A company should be created that pairs great artist and writers with people who wish to have their lives turned into graphic novels. In 2012, we had the extraordinary opportunity to read Alan’s War, the story of Alan Cope and his tour of duty in France during

Max Brooks graphic novel The Harlem Hellfighters would’ve made a better unillustrated book

I’m not ashamed to admit that a lot of my history lessons, of late, have been through graphic novels. I find that lately a lot of authors are using this medium in order to tell the world their stories and although most are a blend of fact and fiction, there’s no denying some of the

Hidden: A Child’s Story of the Holocaust

There’s really no easy way to talk to children about the atrocities that took place during World War II, especially if your family was directly effected. That’s not to say that that’s what this book was designed to do, but with the child-friendly drawings on the cover and throughout, one would think that was the

Trailer for The Monuments Men starring George Clooney and Matt Damon arrives

One things for sure, George Clooney (The Ides of March, Good Night and Good Luck) knows how to pick good scripts and he knows how to pick great actors. Among the line up Bill Murray, John Goodman, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchette, Bob Balaban and Jean Dujardan just to name a few. This trailer for The

Disgusting new trailer for Frankenstein’s Army arrives

In another attempt to sci-fi/horror, the hell out of the Nazi‘s comes Frankenstein’s Army. This trailer looks pretty crazy and should do pretty well given the success of such cross over WWII films like Dead Snow and Iron Sky. Frankenstein’s Army is directed by Richard Raaphorst (Worst Case Scenario), which despite it’s amazing trailer has

US trailer for Emperor starring Tommy Lee Jones and Matthew Fox arrives

To this day I wonder if what we did to Japan during WWII was warranted, maybe this movie will shed some light on the topic, or maybe I should pick up some non fiction every once in awhile. This trailer for Emperor starring Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln) as General MacArthur and Matthew Fox (Lost) as

Rust or The Rocketeer…let the jet pack race to Hollywood begin!

So according to Firstshowing.net Disney plans to reboot The Rocketeer…well I think they need to know that Archaia Entertainment has new a kid on the block and his name is “Jet” and he too is adorned with a diesel-powered flight giver. Is Hollywood big enough for two World War II heroes? I don’t know…. but

M.I.T.N.G REVIEWS “ONWARDS TOWARDS OUR NOBLE DEATHS” WRITTEN AND DRAWN BY SHIGERU MIZUKI

When Shigeru Mizuki wrote “Onwards towards our noble deaths” back in 1973 it received little attention from the critics in Japan and understandably so given the backlash the country received from the world after World War 2. I think most soldiers who had survived the war wanted to put it behind him, but Shigeru, having

M.I.T.N.G REVIEWS “ALAN’S WAR: THE MEMORIES OF G.I. ALAN COPE” WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY EMMANUEL GUIBERT

When writer Emmanuel Guibert met Alan Cope in France back in 1994, I bet he would’ve never guessed that the directions he needed from, stranger at the time Alan Cope, would lead them both on a epic ride down memory lane. Alan’s War:The Memories of G.I. Alan Cope is one well documented account of the

TRAILER FOR P.T. ANDERSON’S NEW FILM “THE MASTER” STARRING JOAQUIN PHOENIX

Whew…I almost thought Joaquin was never gonna come back from that trip he was on a few years ago. I love the man’s work, always have and this new bit of something something coming from the P.T.Anderson camp (Boogie Night’s, There Will Be Blood) has got me a little excited. Briefly…the trailer for The Master
