First of all I would like to congratulate Matt Hawkins, Bryan Hill and the rest of the creative team for their recent announcement that “Postal” is now being developed as a television show! They sold the option to Legendary TV about a year ago and got picked up by Hulu TV. This book started off as a television show pitch that ended up as a comic book and now will fulfill its original goal of becoming a television show. The characters in this book have been developed so well thanks to the amazing writing by Bryan Hill and visually they could not have found a more talented individual than Isaac Goodhart. Early this month I had a fantastic interview with Bryan Hill where we cover all things “Postal”, I will link it at the bottom of this review. To be honest that conversation could have gone on for hours as...

The last issue of Postal that we received before this one finished very strong leaving us the thought that Mark can possibly be just as bad if not more dangerous than his mother and father. The way he handled the situation with Molly Schultz proved this point. With so many things happening in and around Eden that are putting the town’s safety and secrecy in jeopardy daily Laura is going to need all the help she can get. As readers we know what’s coming and that is a crossover between Postal, The Tithe, and Think Tank, which are all amazing books on their own. What will happen when you put all these great characters in the same story? I personally cannot wait to get my hands on that crossover! But before that we have issue 13 of Postal, which may be the best single issue of this book to date.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association and its former publicist Michael Russell have ended at least one portion of their on-going legal wars. The parties came to a settlement last week in Russell’s $2 million breach of contract and fraud suit against the HFPA. The agreement was reached in a conference in La Superior Court on February 11. No details of the deal were disclosed nor whether it also ended the HFPA’s own suit against Russell and his partner Stephen Locascio for violating a confidentiality agreement with the Golden Globes presenting organization. Russell sued the HFPA in January 2011 just days before that year’s Globes after the group did not renew his contract. Russell alleged in his suit that the HFPA “abuse their positions and engage in unethical and potentially unlawful deals and arrangements which amount to a payola scheme.” Russell says he was fired in March 2010 after bringing up the...

Despite its outward civility, Professional Tennis can be a brutal sport for the players, and the sell by date for most is around age 30, give or take a couple of years. So it takes a dedicated athlete to carry on in the face of Father Time, lingering injuries, and young phenoms nipping at your Nike's.
In the past couple of years we've paid tribute to the Atp Top Twenty Players and the Hottest Players Outside The Top 20, and as this year's Australian Open commences, we're going to look at all of the players in the Top 100 who have crossed the "30" milestone mark.
They may be the tennis equivalent of Methuselah, but they can still teach the young guns a thing or two!

'Tis the season for awards - and that means on Sunday it was time to read and hear (repeatedly) how the Golden Globes matter because they are "precursors to the Oscars," remarkable for their mystical ability to predict the Academy Awards. Of course, if you repeat any mantra enough, people will believe almost anything But then reality rears its pesky head and gets in the way.
Indeed, the dirty little secret about the Golden Globes is that they're the biggest flim-flam scam on the American public today. Okay, other than "Mitt Romney is a far-right conservative."
(And one of the main reasons that keeps it such a "secret" is because most people don't have the slightest clue who in the world the Hollywood Foreign Press is that gives these awards. That's a little sending a congratulations gift to someone who was named "Man of the Year" and not realizing that...

Updated 1:40 p.m. Pt Judge Kevin Brazile on Wednesday denied a motion by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to dismiss portions of the lawsuit brought by its former publicist Michael Russell, paving the way for the litigation to move forward to court. However, Joe Campo, an attorney for the HFPA, said the group still expects the ligitation to be dismissed before it reaches a jury trial. Russell slapped the organization best known for producing the Golden Globes with a $2 million suit last January. It alleges a glittering array of unethical practices by...

Brooklyn Decker arrived at NYC's Billie Jean King tennis center in a black Juicy Couture shift dress yesterday ready to cheer on her husband, Andy Roddick, during the first round of the Us Open. Roddick went on to beat Michael Russell in a rigorous match that lasted more than three hours and, according to Andy, "wasn't pretty." Andy took home the Us Open title in 2003 and lost to Roger Federer in the 2006 finals. Brooklyn's been filming What to Expect When You're Expecting in Atlanta but took a break to cheer on her husband and also celebrate Andy's 29th birthday on Tuesday. Famous faces are often spotted in the crowds during play - last Summer, Brooklyn was joined by her pal John Legend while Usher, Ed Westwick, and Kanye West were also on hand for later rounds.

(Updated, 1:11 p.m. Pst) Looks like the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. will keep the court system humming for a little while longer. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge will allow large portions of two separate suits against the Golden Globes producer to go forward. Judge Kevin Brazile ruled Wednesday that a $2 million breach of contract suit filed by the HFPA’s former publicist Michael Russell had demonstrated sufficient evidence that the organization had failed to make payments and violated the terms of their contract to continue up the legal chain.

Critics enjoy the visual ride but not much else about Pixar's latest.

Animated films, much like the big-screen work of Adam Sandler, are so often review-proof. "Hop" didn't give a hoot that critics eviscerated the Easter Bunny tale, opening to $37.5 million domestically on its way to a $176.8 million worldwide total. And hey, "Grown Ups" and "Just Go With It" were two of the most savagely critiqued comedies in recent memory, yet each one deposited a couple hundred million dollars in Sandler's already astonishing box-office pot of gold.
So does it really matter that critics have flagged "Cars 2," Pixar's latest offering and its first sequel outside the "Toy Story" franchise, for a dizzying array of cinematic violations? Nope. The CGI flick is poised to race away with around $65 million this weekend.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is claiming a major legal victory against Michael Russell, after a judge threw out the former publicist's defamation claims. Russell sued the association for $2 million in lost salary and additional damages, charging the organization that runs the Golden Globes with fraud and corrupt practices. Among other claims, Russell alleged that HFPA members sold media credentials to the show and accepted gifts in exchange for nominating films for awards.

The bad break-up between the Golden Globe Awards and its former publicist just got worse. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is hitting back at the Michael Russell Group, suing the publicist for breach of contract, trading on the organization's name and accepting payola. If that sounds familiar, that's because Michael Russell charged HFPA members with accepting kickbacks in exchange for Golden Globes nominations in a lawsuit filed last January. Russell is seeking $2 million in damages. But the HFPA says that Russell's suit, arriving as it did on the eve of the ceremony,...
