Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in “Revenge Gifting”

Eternal high school student and teenage boy, Archie Andrews, and his friends made their debut in M.L.J. Magazines' Pep Comics #22 (cover dated: December 1941), and before long, Archie was the publisher's headliner character.  In 1946, the company changed its named to Archie Comic Publications, also known as “Archie Comics.”

Archie Comics frequently publishes holiday themed one-shot comic books featuring Archie's characters (sometimes referred to as “the Archie Gang”).  The latest is the Archie Christmas Spectacular, 2024 edition.  It features one new story and four reprint stories.  The new story is a humorous tale tied to the (very dark) Chilling Adventures of Sabrina series and is entitled, “Revenge Gifting.”  The story is written by Ian Flynn; drawn by Holly G! (pencils) and Jim Amash (inks); colored by Glenn Whitmore; and lettered by the great Jack Morelli.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in “Revenge Gifting”:
Amber Nightstone is the fiercest magical rival of Sabrina Spellman, a.k.a. “Sabrina, the Teenage-Witch.”  Now, Amber is on a mission to get Sabrina... the best Christmas gift ever?!

In her own unique way, Amber has... convinced Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead to help her find a gift for Sabrina.  Why would Amber buy her sworn enemy a gift?  Well, in the spirit of the holidays, Sabrina gave Amber a gift made of real amber.  Not one to appreciate the thought that counts, Amber is determined to outdo Sabrina and give her an even better gift.  But can you get the perfect gift for someone you really haven't taken the time to know?

THE LOWDOWN:  I have been reading comic books, on and off, for decades.  I have sporadically read Archie Comics titles over that time.  For many years now, Archie's marketing department has been sending PDF copies of some of their titles for review.  Archie Christmas Spectacular is the latest.

Even if you have only read Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #1, you know that as a “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” tale, “Revenge Gifting” is really an “Archie & Friends” story, and it is a nice one.  Writer Ian Flynn offers up that perfect kind of holiday comics story that captures the true meaning of Christmas.  The art team of Holly G! and Jim Amash brings out the humor in Amber Nightstone in the wake of her misfortune in the Josie Annual Spectacular, No. 1.  Their art finds the fun in her.

The rest of this issue features reprints of classic-style Archie Christmas and holiday stories.  There are guest appearances by several Archie Comics superheroes, including the “Ralph Hardy” and “Ivette Velez” versions of the Archie Comics' superhero, “The Jaguar.”  The Shield and The Mighty Crusaders also appear.

Dear readers, I will always recommend classic-style Archie Comics, especially when it comes in Christmas packaging – anytime of the year.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of classic-style Archie Comics will want to find a copy of Archie Christmas Spectacular.

Review: "NOSFERATU" 2024: You'll Either Be Impressed or Roll Your Eyes

TRASH IN MY EYE No. 61 of 2024 (No. 2005) by Leroy Douresseaux

Nosferatu (2024)
Running time:  133 minutes (2 hours, 13 minutes)
MPA – R for bloody violent content, graphic nudity and some sexual content
DIRECTOR:  Robert Eggers
WRITER:  Robert Eggers (inspired by the film, Nosferatu, and the novel by Bram Stoker)
PRODUCERS:  Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, Robert Eggers, John Graham, and Jeff Robinov
CINEMATOGRAPHER:  Jarin Blaschke (D.o.P.)
EDITOR: Louise Ford
COMPOSER:  Robin Carolan

HORROR/THRILLER

Starring:  Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarsgard, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, and Simon McBurney

SUMMARY OF THE REVIEW:
Nosferatu is entertaining – in places, but quite a bit of it is also over-the-top and overdone. Honestly, I'd be reluctant to recommend it to people who don't go to movie theaters too often because they could find better films upon which to spend their infrequent cinema visits

Nepo-baby thespian, Lily-Rose Depp, gives an excellent performance, emphasizing facial expressions and physical feats, but Bill Skarsgard as the Nosferatu, manages only to create a vampire that is as boring as he is scary and ugly

Also, if you remember Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, you will find this film shockingly similar to it


Nosferatu is a 2024 American vampire horror film from writer-director Robert Eggers  It is a remake of the 1922 German silent film, Nosferatu.  Like that German film, the modern Nosferatu also takes inspiration from the 1897 novel Dracula, written by author Bram Stoker.  The new Nosferatu focuses on a young woman and the terrifying vampire that is infatuated with her.

Nosferatu introduces Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp).  Since she was a child, Ellen has had a connection to the spiritual and mystical realms.  When she was a girl, she called out to a spirit, and that caused her to have a vision of a disfigured and corpse-like creature attack her.  This in turns leads to Ellen having a violent seizure.

In 1838, Ellie is now an adult and is newly wed to a husband, the young estate agent, Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult).  The couple is living in Wisborg, Germany where Thomas works for “Knock & Associates.”  His employer, Herr Knock (Simon McBurney), offers Thomas a generous commission, but to get it, Thomas must embark on a six-day journey to the small country of Transylvania.

There, Thomas will meet the mysterious Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgard), who wants to buy property in Wisborg, which he plans to make his new home.  However, there is a conspiracy behind this business venture between Knock and Orlok, and Ellen, who is once again besieged by dark, monster-filled dreams, is the prize.  Now, Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz (Willem Defoe), a controversial scientist and expert on the occult and mysticism, may be the only one who can figure out what everyone else seems to ignore.  And that is the fact that Orlok is a monstrous vampire – a Nosferatu!

First, some history: director F.W. Murnau's 1922 German silent film, Nosferatu, was an unauthorized film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula (1897).  Stoker's heirs sued and the film was ordered destroyed, but several prints survived this purge.  So the modern Nosferatu is both a remake of the 1922 film and an adaptation of Stoker's novel.  I also find quite a bit of this new Nosferatu to be a literally and spiritually rehash of director Francis Ford Coppola's visionary, Oscar-winning film, Bram Stokers Dracula (1992).

Moving on:  Lily-Rose Depp delivers a stunning performance as Ellen, one that is both emotionally charged and also physically impressive, thanks to the scenes in which she portrays having blood-curdling seizures, apparently without the help of computer-generated imagery.  Depp makes by far the best out of director Robert Eggers' screenplay, which I find to be shallow and also imaginative only in the superficial way that directors borrow from other directors' films in a bid to seem clever before their sycophants and devotees.

That is exemplified by Bill Skarsgard's Count Orlok.  He is both frightening and tedious.  Skarsgard is buried under a mound of makeup and likely computer-rendering that makes him look like a homeless and destitute version of the infamous Russian mystic and political Svengali, Grigori Rasputin.  The new Count Orlok is a scary mountain of monster-man, but he has no personality,  And girl, he grunts his garbled dialogue real good.  Ultimately, Skarsgard turn as Count Orlok is no better than one of actor Robert Englund's latter turns as “Freddy Krueger” in one of the many sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

Eggers really does not give the rest of his characters great dramatic material.  Nicholas Hoult's Thomas Hutter is an embarrassing crybaby, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Friedrich Harding is a stubborn moron.  Willem Defoe's Von Franz is smart and stupid in alternating waves that suggest that suggests he was created by some AI algorithm.  Emma Corrin's Anna Harding (Friedrich's wife) seems very smart and capable, so the male writer's screenplay kills her off way too early.

Yeah, I have a lot of complaints about this new Nosferatu, mainly because it is one of those maddening films that has many brilliant elements that are beset by many tedious, hilarious, and ridiculous elements.  This is not “style over substance,” but it is style strangling the shit out of substance.  I heartily recommend Nosferatu to fans of vampire films and to adventurous movie lovers, but I would be reluctant to recommend it to people who are not as into movies as I am.  Something like Nosferatu would make them roll their eyes.

Comics Review: "SCOOBY-DOO, Where Are You? #131" Knocks the Elf Off the Shelf

SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU? (2010) #131
DC COMICS

STORY: Derek Fridolfs; Sholly Fisch
PENCILS: Walter Carzon; Randy Elliot
INKS: Horacio Ottolini; Randy Elliot
COLORS: Silvana Brys; Pamela Lovas
LETTERS: Saida Temofonte
EDITORS: Courtney Jordan; Harvey Richards (reprint)
COVER: Derek Fridolfs with Silvana Brys
32pp, Color, $2.99 U.S. (February 2025)

Ages 8+

“Scaries Not Included”

Welcome, dear readers, to my continuing journey through the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? comic book series, which began publication in 2010.  I continue to renew my subscription so that I can continue to review this series for you, dear readers.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #131 opens with “Scaries Not Included,” which is written by Derek Fridolfs and drawn by Walter Carzon (pencils) and Horacio Ottolini (inks).  The story finds Mystery Inc.Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma attending the “Coolsville Collectible Toy Fair.”  There, they hope to collect items for the “Children's Toy Drive.”

What they find instead is agitated toy collectors looking for items that are exclusive to the toy fair.  Everyone is caught up in exclusives fever when an elf, specifically an elf-like “drow,” crashes the show.  Can the gang survive collector's mania long enough to solve the mystery of this dark elf?

As usual, the second story, “Not Just Yeti,” is a reprint story.  It is written by Sholly Fisch and drawn Randy Elliot.  [This story was originally published in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You #94 (cover date: October 2018).]  The story opens at “Benji Ford's Rockin' Gym,” an indoor climbing wall facility.  It's being haunted by a “yeti,” and the owner, Benji Ford, believes that the only ones who can help him are the experts of Mystery Inc.  While the gang has taken on the yetis a.k.a. “abominable snowmen,” in the past, this is the first time a yeti mystery is set on top of an indoor climbing wall and not at or near the top of a mountain. So what is really going on here?

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #131 offers a Christmas-like theme via the opening story, “Scaries Not Included.”  Although there isn't much Christmas spirit among the toy collectors in this new story, it is a treat from Scooby-Doo comic book stalwarts:  Derek Fridolfs, Walter Carzon, and Horacio Ottolini.  I consider that a Christmas gift from this comic book series.  Also, “Scaries Not Included” accurately depicts the collector's mania atmosphere that permeates conventions and toy fairs where show exclusive toys, action figures, and play sets are offered.

The reprint story, “Not Just Yeti,” another duo of Scooby-Doo stalwart creatives, Sholly Fisch and Randy Elliot, offer a Scooby-Doo mystery favorite supernatural pest, the yeti.  Honestly, yetis in Scooby-Doo television series have always scared me, so I consider this tale a nice offering.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #131 offers a reading experience that is a bit more fun than what the previous issue presented.  So grab your “Scooby Snacks” and read this issue, and maybe watch a Scooby-Doo movie, later.  And until next time, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

Review: Tyler Perry's "DIVORCE IN THE BLACK" is Shamelessly Shameless

TRASH IN MY EYE No. 60 of 2024 (No. 2004) by Leroy Douresseaux

Divorce in the Black (2024)
Running time:  143 minutes (2 hours, 23 minutes)
MPA – R for language, some sexual content and violence
WRITER/DIRECTOR:  Tyler Perry
PRODUCERS:  Will Areu, Tyler Perry, Angi Bones, Diane Ashford, and Meagan Good
CINEMATOGRAPHER:  Michael Watson (D.o.P.)
EDITOR:  Storm Evans
COMPOSER:  Sheri Chung

DRAMA/THRILLER

Starring:  Meagan Good, Cory Hardrict, Joseph Lee Anderson, Taylor Polidore, Shannon Wallace, Richard Lawson, Debbi Morgan, Mark Elliot Brewer, Rakeem Laws, Berry Williams, Jr., Jeffrey Creightney, and Ursula O. Robinson

Divorce in the Black is a 2024 drama and thriller from writer-director Tyler Perry.  The film is an Amazon “Prime Original,” and it began streaming on the service July 11, 2024.  Divorce in the Black follows a young woman who is left heartbroken after her husband abandons their marriage.

Divorce in the Black introduces 37-year-old Ava (Meagan Good).  She is the daughter of a preacher, Clarence (Richard Lawson) and a demur church-going woman, Gene (Debbi Morgan).  Ava married Dallas Bertrand (Cory Hardrict), one of five sons from a family of trifling Negroes who were raised (not reared) by their obnoxious mother, Linda (Ursula O. Robinson)

Ava and Dallas's marriage was troubled from the start and is troubled now.  The recent troubles begin with the funeral of Dallas' 39-year-old brother, Cody Bertrand, who had just been released from prison when someone he attempted to mug shot him to death.  Ava's preacher father, Clarence, officiates the funeral, and he believes that he cannot lie and act as if Cody had been a decent person.  Clarence's words about Cody lead the Bertrands to commit a horribly disgusting act in order to put an end to the funeral service.

Shortly after the funeral, Ava and Dallas return to their home in Atlanta.  Dallas is feeling resentful, mainly egged on by his remaining brothers and his mother.  He tells Ava that he wants a divorce and that he has already taken care of everything.  He says all she needs to do is sign the divorce papers.  Ava is heartbroken and grief-stricken by this terrible turn of events.  She returns to her parents home in rural Georgia.  Eventually, she finds solace and friendship by reuniting with an old friend, Benji (Joseph Lee Anderson), which could turn romantic.  Dallas, however, starts to feel cheated when he discovers that Ava and Benji are seeing each other, and he begins to grow increasingly violent.  Now, Ava will have to make the toughest decisions of her life.

I thought that Mea Culpa, a “Netflix Original” film released in February (2024), was likely Tyler Perry's craziest non-Madea film to date, being even wackier than his 2013 film, Temptations: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.  Now, I'm declaring that Divorce in the Black, released mere months after Mea Culpa, is Perry's craziest film.  In many ways, Divorce in the Black is not a good film.  After its jaw-dropping opening act, the film's narrative has a hard time finding its footing.  It meanders, mostly focusing on Ava's grief over the sudden divorce announcement.

[Apparently, “divorce in the black” means a divorce in which you gain something or remain in the positive after the conclusion.  “Divorce in the red” means to lose something or end up in the negative after it is all over.]

Divorce in the Black redeems itself with an entertainingly outrageous and outrageously entertaining last act.  I wouldn't call Dallas' actions throughout the film over-the-top.  They're quite believable, and, in fact, I've known or heard of men like him.  What makes the ending of Divorce in the Black so satisfactory is Ava's change in attitude and Dallas' comeuppance.  I can't remember the last time I so enjoyed an African-American male character suffering something similar to Dallas' fate.  However, dear readers, you have to wade through a lot of mixed-bag storytelling and almost two hours of questionable runtime to get to the end's immense satisfaction.

I mainly watched Divorce in the Black because I wanted to do some Tyler Perry catch-up before I watched his latest “Netflix Original,” the historical drama, The Six Triple Eight.  So I judge Divorce in the Black as mainly being fit for fans engaged in watching most of, if not all, of Perry's filmography.

Comics Review: Disney's "DUCKTALES #2" - Loose Change is Coming

DUCKTALES VOLUME 1, ISSUE #2
DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT

STORY: Brandon Montclare
ART: Tomasso Ronda
COLORS: Agnese Eterno
LETTERS: Fabio Amelia
EDITOR: Nate Cosby
COVER: Ivan Bigarella
VARIANT COVER ARTISTS: Francesco Tomaselli; Carlo Lauro; Alan Quah; Ivan Bigarella; Tomasso Ronda
32pp, Color, $4.99 U.S. (December 2024)

All Ages

Based on “Uncle Scrooge” by Carl Barks

“Four Corners of Your World” Part Two: “The Phantom of the Scrooge-A-Rama-Dome!”

“DuckTales” was an animated television series that ran from 1987 to 1990.  Produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and Tokyo Movie Shinsha, DuckTales was syndicated to American local television stations and ran for 100 episodes.  The series also yielded a theatrical spin-off movie, DuckTales The Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp (1990).  In 2017, a second “DuckTales” series ran for 69 episodes over three seasons (2017-2021).

DuckTales was inspired by and based upon the Uncle Scrooge comics book and other comic books set in the world of Donald Duck that Carl Barks, legendary comic book writer-artist, created mainly from the early 1940s and into the 1960s.  The TV show followed the adventures of Donald Duck's uncle, Scrooge McDuck; his three grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie (who were also Donald's nephews), and a close group of friends.

There were several DuckTales-related comics publications and comic books published on and off over a period from 1988 to 2020.  Dynamite Entertainment brings DuckTales back to comic books with DuckTales Volume 1.  It is written by Brandon Montclare; drawn and by Tomasso Ronda; colored by Agnese Eterno; and lettered by Fabio Amelia.

DuckTales Volume 1 #2 (“The Phantom of the Scrooge-A-Rama-Dome!”) opens in Scrooge's home, “McDuck Manor,” which sits right at the center of Duckburg.  Scrooge is going to take Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a sightseeing tour through Duckburg, and the sites are the places that exist because of him.  One of them is Duckburg's premiere movie house, “the Scrooge-A-Rama Dome,” which he owns.

Scrooge built the Scrooge-A-Rama Dome to be to most palatial of motion picture palaces – inspired by both the grandeur of the Colosseum in Rome and the chance to charge top-dollar admission fees.  And it just so happens that Scrooge and the nephews have arrived during the “Monthly Monster Movie Marathon.”  However, the sight of loose change sends Scrooge spiraling back to one of his craziest duels with his old adversary, Magica de Spell.  Meanwhile, what is the mystery behind the theater's two employees, Mr. Frank and Beans?

THE LOWDOWN:  Since July 2021, Dynamite Entertainment's marketing department has been providing me with PDF review copies of some of their titles.  DuckTales Volume 1, Issue #2 is the latest.

I thought the first issue of the new DuckTales comic book series was more an introductory chapter than a first chapter of a serial.  I was right because writer Brandon Montclare was establishing with the first issue that this was going to be a comic book about stories, in particular the stories that Scrooge has to tell.  Truthfully, there is a lot of mystery and adventure in Scrooge's hometown of Duckburg, and his adventures outside the burg may sometimes tie into events within the burg.

With this second issue, Montclare offers a delightful story of the stage and the screen and of the kooky people on stage and behind the scenes.  With that Montclare offers a most delightful tale that Uncle Scrooge want to tell.

Artist Tomasso Ronda presents beautiful art and engaging storytelling.  His art looks as if it has stepped off the Disney animation reel and it makes the story pop with suspense and fun.  Colorist Agnese Eterno captures the colorful magic of the wonderful storytelling worlds of Disney.  Together Ronda and Eterno bring the spark of imagination that is Disney comics to this story.  It does not read like a licensed comic book; it reads like the kind of fun comic book I would have loved as a kid.  Even Fabio Amelia's lettering fits right in and feels like Disney comics

DuckTales #2 is an impressive second issue.  It suggests that this series has staying power, and I hope that you, dear readers, help it stay around.

I READS YOU RECOMMENDS:  Fans of Disney comic books and of DuckTales will want to try DuckTales Volume 1.
