V For Vendetta - Alan Moore, David Lloyd

'A frightening and powerful story of loss of freedom and identity in a totalitarian world. V for Vendetta is the chronicle of a world of despair and oppressive tyranny. A work of sterling clarity and intelligence, V For Vendetta is everything comics weren't supposed to be. England Prevails...' "V for Vendetta" is a 286 page graphic novel by Alan Moore collected from the original series of strips he produced with illustrator David Lloyd. The story is set in the near future after a limited nuclear war that resulted in Britain being controlled by a fascist government. However, the careful control exerted over the country by fascist party ...  Read the complete review

I know this is almost a cliche,but this is the book that proves that comic books are not just for kids.It originally appeared in the doomed British monthly 'Warrior' and was later revived and completed by American giant DC comics.They published it in twelve issues and later released a lush omnibus edition complete with extra pages and test drawings. It's not a comic and should be seen as a graphic novel equal to any other form of art or literature.Written by British comics god Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd it has stood the test of time as one of my all time favourite works. Set in the near future,in a Britain that has escaped the ...  Read the complete review

Mysterious, unconventional superhero V takes on a fascist regime in a future Britain. He has befriended naif waif, Evey, but is he to be trusted? I'm going to take a slightly different tack in this review by talking about an encounter I had with the author, the great (and mysterious) Alan Moore. I first read this series in black and white (or, perhaps more appropriately, chiarascuro) in the sadly missed monthly magazine, "Warrior". I enjoyed comics, of course, as I was only about 14 or 15, but I had never encountered a visual narrative that had so captivated and enthralled me before. These three or four roughly drawn pages a ...  Read the complete review

This book gave birth to what i think is the greatest super (if you could use that word) hero of them all. A super intelligent vengence compelled twisted man know as 'V'. With echos of guy fawks and the gun powder plot, set to 80's Thatcherism (to young for me to remember all) and a bleek totalitarian society, V battles for freedom whislt expossing iconic land marks as nothing but symblos of supression of the stricked laws the 'fingermen' enforce. Its good when a writer paints such and amazing picture of what he see's and could easily be the future for us all, and can come up with and insightful and charismatic figure of freedom as 'V' (or guy fawks if you ...  Read the complete review

I found this movie incredibly touching. It basically tells the story of two couples who are starting to think they have relatinship problems and attend this seminar about how to improve their sex lives. Little do they know that this seminar actually implies the couples being in a room and making love with another couple, this being sex therapy to better their relationship problems. Culking from Home Alone plays in this movie, and his acting isn't that great, but this movie is not that much about the way in which actors played their roles, but the roles themselves. I never saw a similar movie, and this one moved me in the sense that I witnessed what people do for ...  Read the complete review
