teenage mutant ninja turtles vs . x - men - mugen fighting game ! - youtube
there is literally an entire second most populous country in the world w an industry of men who dance and sing . # aladdin urltoken
here ' s a list of thirteen fighting games i ' d like to see make a modern - day comeback .
in the early days , fatal fury was one of snk ' s answers to street fighter ' s popularity and , much like art of fighting , it fell into the background once king of fighters hit the scene . they still made fatal fury games , but they never felt big enough to unseat king of fighters as snk ' s flagship fighting series . at first glance , it made sense that they simply stopped making the games .
then i get to thinking about the fighting games that haven ' t been so lucky . the ones that have fallen into the sands of time . when ' s the last time we got an art of fighting game ? aren ' t we due for a wu - tang shaolin style sequel about now ? do you think somebody could make a tattoo assassins game that isn ' t garbage just for the challenge of it ? there are so many possibilities .
okay , snk , what the hell ? ! how did something as brilliant as king of the monsters fall into obscurity so quick ? ! the game was about giant monsters ( blatant copies of godzilla , king kong , and ultraman ) fighting through giant cities . that would be cool on its own , only their fighting takes the form of a giant hardcore professional wrestling match where you can use buildings as weapons ! the cities have electric borders to box them in , acting like ring ropes . the creatures perform suplexes and bodyslams . you have to actually pin your opponent .
the fighting game genre has never been more popular , with modern takes on many of the big names from yesteryear . we ' re constantly graced with new installments of street fighter , mortal kombat , tekken , king of fighters , smash bros , killer instinct , marvel vs . capcom , guilty gear , and so on .
when an idea like street fighter ii hits it big , you ' re going to get something like fighting masters . its heart was in the right place and it had some cool ideas ( and especially cool soundtrack ) , but couldn ' t pull off a lasting impression . it takes place in a galaxy where the sun is about to go nova and a race of hyper - competent aliens stop by to say that they can save only one planet . so . . . fighting tournament among the best of each planet because these aliens have a strange sense of perspective . that means we get a couple humans and a lot of ridiculous alien designs , including a boxing horse man .
its ninja turtles vs . the classic x - men cast in a this free to play mugen game . there ' s 2 variations of each of the classic turtles , and you can also play as a number of assorted characters from the original tmnt cast , including shredder , casey jones , robo foot soldier , and others . master splinter was left out unfortunately . it would ' ve been great to see him in this game . this game is free to play : urltoken
all right , all right , all right . before you jump down to the comments to flame me , let me explain . everything involved with street fighter : the movie is laughable , including the fact that they made a mediocre fighting game based on a movie based on a legendary fighting game . but here ' s the thing . recently , dc comics released a series called batman ' 66 that expands the world of the old adam west show to not only show new adventures , but show what characters like killer croc and harley quinn would be like had they appeared on that old show . there ' s also a webcomic sequel to the terrible super mario bros . movie from twenty years ago that retells super mario bros . 2 in the first movie ' s setting .
if you ' re a fighting game fan who owned a nintendo 64 but not a playstation , then there ' s a 95 % chance you ' ve played mace : the dark age . developed by atari , the fighter played like the soul edge games with a mortal kombat atmosphere . the story was incredibly similar to soul edge in that it was also about medieval warriors fighting over an evil weapon of ultimate power , only it was definitely more metal . even when you remove the fatalities ( called
executions
here ) , you had an executioner , a knight from the bowels of hell , a zombie crusader , a dwarf riding a steam - powered mech , and an impressive - looking demon boss who was so massive that only his top half appears out of a portal in the ground .
the game is like the pete best of early fighting games , but maybe it ' s about time we gave these blade - swinging time - travelers a second chance . after all , rancid from the year 2024 is a chainsaw - wielding punk with sunglasses , earrings , an x carved into his forehead , and a green mohawk mullet with ponytail . that ' s the most overkill design ever and deserves a trophy .
time killers was one of the earlier fighting games exist thanks to street fighter ii ' s success . it went the mortal kombat route of playing up the gore factor . while mortal kombat only used gore for stylistic reasons and shock value , at least the blood in time killers affected gameplay . not only could you get your arms chopped off mid - fight and continue the battle with a handicap , but decapitations could happen at any time , immediately ending the match .
the clayfighter games were never very good , but i enjoyed them for the cartoony nonsense . the character designs were pretty great , outside of the cast of clayfighter 2 : judgment clay and the racist caricatures in clayfighter 63 1 / 3 . on paper , the concept of the game has tons of promise . it ' s a parody of fighting game tropes featuring a man made of taffy , an elvis impersonator , santa claus as a sumo wrestler , a mopey clown , and a pumpkin - headed ghost .
there were only two installments of last blade ? ! really ? ! like , i realize the three games i ' ve already mentioned are sub - par at best ( and time killers at worst ) , but last blade was so good . after years of doing samurai shodown sequels , snk let loose with a different kind of sword - slashing historical japanese fighting game that had a more impressive look than shodown and simply felt grander . it played great , it looked great , and was only held back by some vanilla character designs .
to be fair , the first game in the series is savage reign , but that ' s a pretty forgettable one - on - one fighter that isn ' t really worth revisiting . it didn ' t really kick in until the sequel , kizuna encounter : super tag battle , snk ' s first attempt at a tag team game . in fact , it came out just weeks after capcom ' s popular x - men vs . street fighter , one of the many reasons it ' s fallen into the sands of time . despite that , it felt different than capcom ' s tag fighters . the characters felt bigger and more grounded . it felt more like a 2d version of tekken tag in a way . the game was super fun .
though the war between the states has officially ended , a group of confederate soldiers continues to fight for their own cause , laying siege to a small group of union soldiers holed up in a farmhouse who are guarding a substantial amount of gold coins for a federal agent . the presence of all that gold seems to affect all of them in interesting ways . the farm owner is a union army vet who converted to pacifism after experiencing the war , while his wife is trying to attract the union commander who is trying to protect the gold from both his men and the confederates , who include some strange characters , one of which is ted knight . the film is more drama than action which is perhaps because the action scenes are not too great , but the drama is barely passable enough to at least kind of keep one watching .
though the war between the states has officially ended , a group of confederate soldiers continues to fight for their own cause , laying siege to a small group of union soldiers holed up in a farmhouse who are guarding a substantial amount of gold coins for a federal agent . the story comes off okay in this noticeably low - budget effort thanks to all the personalities this film features . the presence of all that gold seems to affect all of them in interesting ways . the farm owner is a union army vet who converted to pacifism after experiencing the war , while his wife is trying to attract the union commander who is trying to protect the gold from both his men and the confederates , who include some strange characters , one of which is ted knight . the film is more drama than action which is perhaps because the action scenes are not too great , but the drama is barely passable enough to at least kind of keep one watching .
it ' s hard to accept that darkstalkers has fallen to the wayside as much as it has . while it was never going to be as big as street fighter , it did feel popular enough to be a staple in capcom ' s library . then again , look at everything that ' s happened with mega man . . . anyway , darkstalkers was a brilliant fighting game with monsters , and it was cartoony as all get - out . there were follow - ups and while they did change up the gameplay here and there , they were still using the same sprites again and again , making the games look less like sequels and more like upgrades . it didn ' t help that lead heroine morrigan showed up in a bunch of crossover fighters ( ie . marvel vs . capcom and capcom vs . snk ) and they chose never to update her graphics at all , making her stick out like a sore thumb .

the union forces are lugging a gatling gun with them on their clandestine mission behind rebel lines in spring 1865 . however , gatling guns were not officially purchased by the us army until 1866 . the only ones used during the civil war were purchased privately . it is not clear what a small group of troops commanded by a captain operating behind enemy lines would be doing with a gatling gun .

tbm mugen match # 7 - tmnt vs . dark tmnt ( tornado match )

ss117 m . u . g . e . n : the teenage mutant ninja turtles vs . ? ? ?
dragon ball z extreme butoden m . u . g . e . n tag system ( release )
too bad the gameplay was undercooked . rather than feeling very street fighter , it came off as more of a series of double dragon boss fights . that ' s unfortunate , as they almost seemed to have something .
the series pretty much died when clayfighter 63 1 / 3 got delayed into oblivion and finally came out as a crap game that felt unfinished because it totally was . a somewhat more polished version called clayfighter : sculptor ' s cut came out as a blockbuster exclusive rental , but that didn ' t exactly set the world on fire . it was going to be updated for the wiiware a few years ago , but that fell through .
just get some cgi that looks clay - like and we don ' t have to worry about all that choppy animation that plagued the old games . i ' m just saying , i need my bad mr . frosty fix . it ' s been too long .
it also had a giant chicken as a hidden character , which somehow led to it having a hidden character appearance in gauntlet legends . go figure .
the game never really caught on , which is a shame , since it had a good foundation for a sequel to build on . i ' m kind of tired of soulcalibur feeling like more of the same every time , so maybe it ' s time we give mordos kull another chance .
the character hibiki got to show up in capcom vs . snk 2 , but that ' s not enough . it ' s been 16 years since the last game . why aren ' t we being overwhelmed by last blade sequels ?
there have been other giant monster fighters like primal rage , the godzilla games , and war of the monsters ( which is the closest thing we ' ve ever had to a king of the monsters reboot , even if it ' s made by a different company ) , the very concept of giant monsters wrestling is a very deep well to take from . there ' s a reason why kaiju big battel has lasted so long . actually , while we ' re at it , can we get kaiju big battel its own video game ? i ' d be good with that , too .
strangely , snk did make a sequel to king of the monsters shortly after , but the game was a side - scrolling beat ' em up instead . it just wasn ' t the same , man .
the street fighter : the movie ports had that going on too , to a lesser extent . not only did they introduce the live - action akuma into the story , but they claimed that gunloc from saturday night slam masters was secretly undercover as m . bison ' s henchman , blade . also , he was guile ' s brother . that ' s completely bonkers and i kind of want more . bring back that goofball universe for another go . i want to see what gill would be like . how off - base could they make dudley ? or even rufus ? holy hell , the possibilities are endless .
eternal champions is next to killer instinct in terms of games that were kind of a huge deal for a short burst after they came out , but then vanished for years , never to be heard from again . ergo , if killer instinct can make a comeback , where ' s eternal champions ? the game had a pretty kickass story where the eternal champion picked victims from across history who would have been great forces for good had they not been tragically killed . in order to help bring balance to the timeline , one of them would get the right to relive their final moments and change the course of history . how would that be decided ? a horrible bloodsport tournament . naturally .
the game had a sequel in challenge from the dark side and two completely unplayable spinoffs ( chicago syndicate starring larcen tyler and x - perts starring shadow yamato ) . they were going to have a final game to bring the story to an end , but sega decided to axe it because they felt it hindered virtua fighter ' s popularity . god forbid two completely different games exist under the same company .
also neat was that it took place in the same timeline as the fatal fury games , only about a hundred or so years into the future ( featuring an old man wearing terry bogard ' s discarded hat and kim kaphwan ' s descendant ) . i love the designs because instead of making everything all futuristic , characters are mostly just either dystopian or extra gaudy . it gives us supervillain king lion , who has the triple threat of body armor , boxing gloves , and a giant sword . we ' re supposed to take him seriously . why not ? it ' s the future ! maybe in the future looking like a cross between dr . doom and strong bad is considered threatening . the guy showed up again in neo geo battle coliseum , but nobody played that either .
capcom ' s bigwig yoshinori ono has wanted a new darkstalkers game for forever , but decided that it could only happen if people purchased darkstalkers resurrection , the hd re - release of the previous darkstalkers games . i hated that . but hey , good to see that capcom was still trying to get as much play out of those 20 - year - old sprites as they could .
man . power stone . what happened ? second to smash bros . , power stone was such a fun party game fighter , based purely on running around the environment and beating your opponent with anything and everything you could get your hands on . this was especially chaotic in the sequel - - it was four players and the stages were increasingly ridiculous and elaborate . while on the surface , the characters mostly played the same outside of speed and strength , the real fun was being the first to grab three power stones and go full ham in your unstoppable , overly - cheap , super - powered identity . that ' s where the real variety came in . good times .
while the second game was a nice step up , it got a little too repetitive and could have used more stages and outlandish ways of hurting your enemies . save up all those ideas for a third installment – maybe even toss in some iconic capcom characters for flavor – and you could have an instant classic .
except . their last game was garou : mark of the wolves , a practically new fighter that took place ten years later . only one character ( terry bogard ) returned and his look was completely changed . the animation and play style were updated .
so of course nothing ever happened to follow up on it . several characters – especially main hero rock howard – got to show up in some other games , including a mark of the wolves - based trio in king of fighters xi , but the most we ever got was talk years ago that they were totally in the middle of making the sequel . unfortunately , there hasn ' t been word on it since 2008 . lame .
a handful of capcom games are part of the same continuity , which is kind of cool . sakura from street fighter pops up in rival schools , while major cast members of final fight show up in street fighter alpha .
at one point , someone figured ,
hey , we ' ve established that mike haggar from final fight used to be a wrestler . why don ' t we do a wrestling game with him in it ?
and so we got saturday night slam masters .
the game was a total blast . a game where characters could do over - the - top moves a la street fighter , but in the context of a wrestling match with wrestling rules . for instance , king rasta mon ( a hybrid of blanka and bruiser brody ) would grab you , jump straight up about 15 feet while backflipping a dozen times , then throw you straight down to the mat . much of the cast was really capcom recreations of classic wrestlers like big van vader , tinieblas , and the great muta .
they did make a sequel called ring of destruction , but they changed the gameplay so that it was more of a street fighter clone with pinning . it got rid of one of the most entertaining parts of the game where you could do tag team tornado matches and the whole thing just felt a lot less special .
i ' d love to see slam masters brought back in some form . considering the shared universe , they could even toss in the likes of zangief , hugo , poison , el fuerte , and just about anyone else who would fit in a wrestling ring .
what other fighters would you like to see dug up and brought back ? sound off in the comments .

disney is reportedly struggling to find actors to fill the roles of aladdin and jasmine in the live - action remake of the animated classic , according to the hollywood reporter , demonstrating once again that the film industry has a serious problem when it comes to hiring people of color in leading roles .
the studio , which started the casting search in march , has reportedly seen over 2 , 000 actors in london , abu dhabi , india and egypt . but the hollywood reporter says disney hasn’t been able to find young actors with backgrounds in singing .
disney : guy ritchie is perfect to direct aladdin . guy ritchie : idk how to find a middle - eastern man who can sing . urltoken
list the white actors who ' ve been cast in musicals despite zero dance or singing abilities . go !
“aladdin” is based on “one thousand and one nights . ” the collection of stories is more commonly called “arabian nights , ” but history shows that these stories actually take place in central asia ( most likely modern - day china ) . disney’s representation of the story takes place in fictional “agrabah , ” which mixes the cultures of multiple regions .
most members of the “aladdin” cast are expected to be relative newcomers ― except for will smith , who will reportedly be playing genie . the hollywood reporter says disney was interested in possibly casting british pakistani actor riz ahmed , or dev patel , who is british of indian descent , but it’s unclear how far those conversations went .
in all seriousness . this is what it ' s come to . they ' re having trouble filling the role of aladdin if dev patel or riz ahmed don ' t take it . urltoken
but people on twitter were quick to offer their own suggestion of actors ― aside from ahmed and patel ― who might be able to take on the roles of aladdin , jasmine and jafar .
two of twitter users’ most popular picks included former “victorious” star avan jogia and bollywood icon hrithik roshan . and youtube sensation lily singh was an almost unanimous choice for the role of jasmine .
i mean you could cast @ avanjogia or you could just ignore the fact that they look exactly the same . . . urltoken
. . . and yes i said lilly singh as jasmine . just look at her - beautiful , charismatic and funny af . urltoken
in a study of over 400 films and television series , the university of southern california found that over half didn’t feature asian speaking characters . usc’s annenberg school found that in 2014 , only 5 percent of characters in film were asian , while nearly 75 percent of characters were white .
twitter users highlighted the scores of actors who would fit aladdin’s needs . they even suggested oded fehr for the role of jafar . fehr , who is best known for his roles on “the mummy” and television series “covert affairs , ” has already played jafar on abc’s “once upon a time . ”
there are plenty of amazing mena & south asian actors . i have a list . give me a call guy urltoken
hopefully , disney will follow twitter’s lead and continue its effort to be a tad more accurate than the rest of hollywood in its casting choices .

the misleading widow ( 1919 ) is a silent film comedy directed by john s. robertson and starring billie burke .

the film is based on the play billeted by f. tennyson jesse and h. m. harwood and was produced by famous players-lasky and distributed by paramount pictures .

as it is not known whether the film currently survives , it is likely that it , similar to most of burke 's silent films , is a lost film .

the misleading widow

there are no comments for the misleading widow , billie burke . click here to post the first comment .
the asa said :
because widow dating had not supplied evidence that showed that was the case , we concluded that the claims had not been substantiated and were misleading .
a woman who joined the site complained that the claims were misleading because she had discovered that most of the members were not widows or widowers .
businessman bundotich kiprop , popularly known as buzeki , has denied taking land from a widow .
we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of the widow by fiona barton .
it went on to say :
widow dating is the one of the largest dating websites for single widows and widowers in the uk .
the misleading widow , billie burke poster by everett . our posters are produced on acid - free papers using archival inks to guarantee that they last a lifetime without fading or loss of color . all posters include a 1
white border around the image to allow for future framing and matting , if desired .
upholding the complaint , the asa said the prominent heading
widow dating
and text on the site suggested that members would be widowed people looking to meet other widowed people .
as it arrived after liu ' s death , lam had said he would try sending it to his widow liu xia .
does anyone want to start a letter writing campaign or club to ban misleading book jacket summaries ? cause i will provide snacks at all the meetings and get cutsie t - shirts made on my own damn dime . the book jacket for the widow by fiona barton would have you believe that you are about to read a psychological thriller all about the widow of a man accused and found guilty ( in the court of public opinion at least ) of kidnapping and murdering a two year old girl who ' s remains have never been found .
the widow has told the media that on june 20 , 2012 , she signed an agreement to sell the land to buzeki as an administrator of her late husband samuel cherop’s estate .
i wish booksellers and reviewers would stop comparing each and every thriller with a slight twist of plot to gone girl and the girl on the train . i ' ve read both and this book doesn ' t resemble either of them , remotely . it ' s a debut book for fiona barton . interesting that she chose to focus on the wife ( and then widow ) of the accused child kidnapper and perhaps killer . the point of view flipped between the widow , the cop , the journalist , the mother of the missing girl , and the widow ' s husband . stil
widow dating said the site did not claim that it was exclusively for widows and widowers , pointing out that single , divorced or separated people could also join the site .
the russos had already said that the previous titles were
misleading
and that the two films were going to be
very , very different
. the question remains as to just how related or separated they will turn out to be . the eventual announcement of the second title should shed some more light on this particular mystery .
hong kong ( afp ) - - a member of a hong kong pro - democracy party was arrested tuesday for
misleading police
after he said he was abducted and beaten by mainland chinese agents who punctured his legs with staples .
gone girl has surprising points of view . the widow is well written , but i never felt engaged . to compare it to gone girl is a mistake .
“our mother is being misused by cartels , which have been misleading and conning her . now they are using her to damage the name of buzeki who is our cousin and has been very helpful to this family . this is pure malice , ” kiptanui said .
the 56 - year - old had preyed on the wealthy widow , who was still grieving over the sudden drowning death of her husband ,
love - bombing
her by showering her with compliments .
the psychiatric report submitted to court notes that he expressed no remorse for what he did in the early morning hours of dec . 29 , 2016 : a traumatizing assault against a 97 - year - old widow .
daphne dunne , a 97 - year - old widow from australia , waited hours in the rain with other fans at sydney harbor on wednesday , hoping to catch a glimpse of prince harry . the royal was visiting the country to promote the upcoming invictus games .
i wish booksellers and reviewers would stop comparing each and every thriller with a slight twist of plot to gone girl and the girl on the train . i ' ve read both and this book doesn ' t resemble either of them , remotely . it ' s a debut book for fiona barton . interesting that she chose to focus on the wife ( and then widow ) of the accused child kidnapper and perhaps killer . the point of view flipped between the widow , the cop , the journalist , the mother of the missing girl , and the widow ' s husband . still not sure if this head - hopping really works , since the whole idea of the book was seeing it from the widow ' s point of view ( and the other characters were wooden and one - dimensional ) . the book is only okay for me . it was easy to follow , a fast paced read . but the characters were kind of flat . i was propelled along only by the morbid curiosity of what was going to pop out of the box at the end rather than caring about any of the players . ( sadly , the ending wasn ' t much of a surprise either ! )
also worth noting is the return of the hulkbuster armour – which may be hiding an oversized secret – and more recent additions black panther and okoye fighting alongside the winter soldier , black widow , iron man , hulk , falcon and captain america .
howard lam said he had been kidnapped from a busy hong kong street in broad daylight over his plan to send a signed photo of footballer lionel messi to the widow of late chinese dissident liu xiaobo .
the widow by fiona barton is a gripping debut psychological thriller that deals with the premise of the story - how much does the widow of a suspected kidnapper / paedophile know about what he is alleged to have done ? what secrets are hidden inside a marriage ? when one is suspected of a crime , can the other person really not know what was going on ? the story opens with a ' dear reader ' section before the story has even begun . fiona barton talks about her past as a journalist and how this career , which
the widow is not a book filled with twists & turns so i wouldn ' t consider it a thriller . the widow just has a simmering sense of dread through out the entire book . the reason i didn ' t give it 4 stars is because the characters weren ' t very deep . i didn ' t really feel connected to any of the characters in the book . the one character i felt closest to is bella and we never actually get to meet her . if you like psychological thrillers i would recommend it but there are way better ones out there .
it ruled that the ad must not appear again in its current form , adding :
we told widow dating not to imply that their dating site was for widows and widowers unless they had evidence that showed all the members of the site had that status .
an avengers romance is also on the cards , as well as a new look for the vision , and there will be a ' devastating ' reunion between black widow and bruce banner . and a picture from the set has hinted at big changes for iron man .
the hook i believe the publisher compared the widow to the girl on the train and of course , in turn , to gone girl . do not expect either . what convinced me i wanted to read or listen to in this case was the question of how a person can stay in a marriage when the spouse has committed an unspeakable , appalling act . the line ( s ) “the simple lies are the hardest , funnily enough . the big ones seem to just fall off the tongue : ” the sinker – 2 year - old bella disappears . jeanie , do not call her jean , has t
the widow is a standalone , psychological thriller written by seasoned journalist and now fiction writer : fiona barton . the inspiration for this debut novel stemmed from all the people on the edge of high profile crimes : the wives , the parents , the children of the perpetrators . ms . barton recognized that these individuals are often just as affected by events , but all the focus is elsewhere . she often wondered what they knew and what they should have known . so she gained further inspiration from d
“the simple lies are the hardest , funnily enough . the big ones seem to just fall off the tongue : ”
3 . 5 - 4 stars the widow is a fast paced thriller that opens with the female protagonist telling the reader her husband has just died in front of her eyes . a husband who was suspected of committing a deplorable crime some years ago . as the story unfolds showcasing the past and present , the reader learns more about more about the relationship between husband and wife , the crime he was accused of and the actions of jean taylor and her character . despite the rapid page - turning aspect of this novel , i
, but i found the relationship between the police and the media fascinating , and all the behind - the - scenes process and tactics very well - handled .

the phone , the sleeping pills , stewart ' s lack of emotion , the loving husband already speaking of helen in the past tense .
marvel studios is keeping their lips tightly shut regarding what we can expect from avengers 4 . the film , which is still directed by the russo brothers ( joe and anthony ) and is still penned by christopher markus and stephen mcfeely who , like the russos did captain america : winter soldier , captain america : civil war and avengers 3 , has yet to release any official synopsis . originally set as the second installment for what was supposed to be a two - part infinity war film , the directors eventually decided to retitle the project explaining that it was kind of misleading given that it is not technically a part 2 of its predecessor , but a different ( albeit connected ) narrative altogether .

the widow is a psychological suspense novel about jean whose husband has died recently and now she has to decide how much to reveal about the crimes he was being investigated for . the books is a good read for when you just want something light and it kept my attention but it wasn ' t anything special . the characters were okay and you kind of know where the story is going to go as soon as you start reading it . there aren ' t really any surprises .

oh dear . i so wanted to love this one . the one everyone ' s going to be talking about apparently . well yes , that ' s actually entirely possible - it is a novel of the type very much in the public eye at the moment , domestic noir , unreliable narrator , girls , sisters , daughters , wives or whatever and secrets . fiona barton writes extremely well in places , i have no problem whatsoever with that , knows how to pull you into a story yes , pootles around the reveals yes - the widow has a high readability fact

2 1 / 2 stars . so i’ve already written a review recently about the bumper crop of child abduction themed books i’ve read in the last year . and here’s another one . i swear that i didn’t know that the widow focused on another disappearing child . i probably should have read the blurb more carefully , but the title in fairness does not suggest child abduction . anyways , as i point out in my review of what she knew , i’ve quite enjoyed some of these books although i swear it’s not a theme i seek out . but

when shown the footage by factwire , lam denied the masked man was him , saying it could be a body double , the agency reported .
although i ' m not foaming at the mouth for it , this book does many things very well . technically , it ' s a page - turner , but it ' s a slow and thoughtful page - turner that you ' ll want to savor more than your average thriller . the titular widow is a woman named jean taylor whose husband glen had , years ago , been the prime suspect in the kidnap and murder of a little girl . jean stood by her man throughout the police investigation and the barrage of reporters ; the perfect supportive wife . with glen ' s sudden death , jean finds herself targeted once more by reporters who want to know everything she ' s been ( presumably ) holding back all these years .
a crew of astronauts crash - land on a mysterious “ planet of the apes ” where apes rule and humans run wild in the jungle . the movie , starring charlton heston , roddy mcdowall and kim hunter , has been remade several times with different explanations for the intelligent breed of apes and even turned into a television series in the mid - 1970s , but the original delivers the shocking twist at the end in the form of a submerged statue of liberty . the astronauts had not landed on planet of the apes after all , but were on planet earth all the time after being somehow been transported to the distant future . the silhouette of a crumbled lady liberty slowly coming into view on the beach and reaching skyward out of the water has arguably become an iconic shot in movie history .
toddler bella elliott goes missing from the front yard of her home on an otherwise uneventful day . when the ensuing investigation leads to a seemingly unlikely suspect , everyone involved is put on display in the search for the truth and the missing child . and to say much of it is unflattering is an understatement , especially after the primary suspect is killed in a bizarre accident . the story is told in alternating points of view from the lead detective , a key reporter , the mother and the wife of

the mcu films might not have tackled gangsters , but the marvel / netflix shows have touched on the notion a bit in some of their properties like daredevil and iron fist , especially like the fictional supervillain group called the hand . they will also be playing a huge part in the upcoming ensemble show , the defenders , where they will act under the supervision of main villain , alexandra ( sigourney weaver ) . although it is important to note that while many fans would like the marvel film and tv universes to finally cross paths , company exec kevin feige has been adamant about having no plans for a crossover in the foreseeable future .

this story is told between four people , the wife , the husband ' s mother , the detective and the reporter . the story is fast and dark involving a missing child , an abused wife , and a husband who is living one life and hiding another . the premise for the story is great , but i don ' t want to say too much more or i may give parts of the plot away . lets just say though that i did find it hard to connect with these characters probably due to the fact that all of them were living a lie in one way or anoth

let me first start by saying this is not another gone girl or girl on the train . i enjoyed the book as i went into it without any expectations . it ' s a simple story , well written with clearly defined characters . i would put in the mystery genre . little bella is kidnapped from her backyard and glen is suspected of the crime . di bob sparks investigates the crime and gets personally involved with the case . did glen commit the crime or not and was his wife jean involved in it ? i found the book an

firstly let me say that i am beginning to tire of publishers who pump out books with the following description , as it seems to come with every new thriller on the market of late . my opinion is that if a blurb is good enough a book will sell regardless and doesn ' t need the hype of gone girl or girl on the train in the description . example : for fans of gone girl and the girl on the train , an electrifying thriller that will take you into the dark spaces that exist between a husband and a wife . i en

i had this recommended by one of my goodread friends and it proved to be a good call . this debut novel by author fiona barton is a psychological thriller that makes you want to keep reading to find out more but if i am honest i found it dragged slightly at times . that said there were lots of promising signs , generally well written , decent characters and a good premise . a 2 year old child , bella elliott is taken from the front yard of her home and an investigation throws up an unlikely suspect named glen who is subsequently killed in an accident . the book begins with glen’s death , he was killed when he was hit by a bus . four years ago he had been accused of kidnapping and murdering bella and even though he wasn ' t found guilty many people believed he was . now his widow wanted to tell her story , tell the truth , her side . the story is told by alternating views from the detective , a reporter , the mother and the abused wife of the suspect from the time of the abduction to glen ' s death . this book is an excellent start to a literary career and i am sure will hear more from fiona barton . i would like to thank net galley and random house uk for supplying this novel in exchange for a honest review .

firstly let me say that i am beginning to tire of publishers who pump out books with the following description , as it seems to come with every new thriller on the market of late . my opinion is that if a blurb is good enough a book will sell regardless and doesn ' t need the hype of gone girl or girl on the train in the description . example : for fans of gone girl and the girl on the train , an electrifying thriller that will take you into the dark spaces that exist between a husband and a wife . i enjoyed this fast paced thriller and it was an easy and at the same time well written thriller . i found myself looking forward to picking up this book and i was eager to turn the pages and get inside the heads of the characters . the plot is fast paced but not full of twists or turns or big revels that i prefer in psychological thrillers and i felt that some of the chapters were a little fleshed out at times . an entertaining read and well deserved 3 stars .
it looks as though the heroes will be splitting off into teams before the big reunion in wakanda , where the final portion of the movie will be set . thor is setting off with groot and rocket in the great unknown , while back in new york city it looks like an iron man / bruce banner / doctor strange / wong / spider - man team - up .
a commercial and ( mostly ) critical hit , “ primal fear ” is a modern day film noir - style thriller about a celebrity chicago defense attorney ( richard gere ) who likes to find loopholes in seemingly unwinnable cases . the egotistical lawyer takes on the case of a former altar boy aaron stampler ( edward norton ) who is accused of murdering an archbishop ( stanley anderson ) . he discovers that the boy has a multiple personality disorder , a result of years of abuse at the hands of the once - beloved archbishop . eventually , stampler is found not guilty by reason of insanity in a bench ( rather than a jury ) trial , but the twist comes when the boy turns out to have faked the disorder and , in the film’s final moments , takes a perverse delight in having fooled both the lawyer and the judge .
the story is inspired by 1991 ' s classic infinity gauntlet comic miniseries , rather than from its sequel – the one actually called infinity war . the 2013 event infinity has also been a key influence . are you confused yet ?
the scene under the rain is penciled for shooting between august 17 and 18 which coincides with avengers 4 production schedule set to run july 17 until december 13 . at this point , it is still quite hard to pinpoint how the mobsters or the japan filming will fit in the ongoing narrative thread that the mcu is tackling . and it seems a bit odd that coming from infinity wa r , where everything is grand and cosmic , the superheroes will suddenly level down to fight street level criminals like the yakuza . unless , of course , they are part of something bigger than just your average thugs running the streets or they are nothing more than just a stepping stone for a bigger reveal .

as teased by composer alan silvestri , there are some wild switches in tones between different groups – the guardians sequence had a very different , look , feel and soundtrack to the new york scenes . naturally , there ' s a lot of humour to balance out the portentous , end of the world stuff .
i really liked the premise of this read and had high hopes for it . it is the story of jean taylor whose husband glen is the suspect of a horrific crime . we have all seen women like jean on the news , standing beside their husbands on the court steps , looking supportive , being their rocks . but , what is going on inside their minds ? do they really believe their husbands’ cries of innocence or are they covering up for them , or indeed are they the masterminds behind the crime ? it seemed like a pleasan

it came as a surprise to me that this book was the author ' s first . despite the flaws , i think there are promising signs . the writing was assured and each character voice had its own positives , even if the people were quite unremarkable . i ' m certainly not convinced i ' d like the police in this novel to investigate my disappearance . i ' d give them 2 / 10 for intelligence and effort . the plot came from a very interesting concept and , as a hook , really made me think the book was going to offer something

this debut novel hit the ground running . no doubt the packing , publicity and ( yet again ) comparison to gone girl —i mean , how many gone girls can there be ! ( but i guess we do keep falling for it , so it works ) —have helped to propel it onto the nyt . it’s often a bit like watching a toddler on a tricycle when you buy one of those novels , you know . it’s like , can the work ride on its own right out of the gate , or will it be wobbly on the training wheels that the publisher and public expectations have

fat is where it ' s at !
this heavy film was shot on the same weekend as comedy ' s dirtiest dozen . it features 8 of the heaviest and funniest comedians ever . among these comedians are some rare jewels , including bob woods who died in 1990 . woods ' comic impression of jackie gleason is considered among comedians as the definitive gleason impersonation of all time . you will also recognize tim o ' rourke as the bartender from the
drew carey show

thea
. this uncensored , no holds barred comedy film ends in a comic feast so large that even the chairs could not hold them .
comedy ' s dirtiest dozen presents snippets of the x - rated acts of a dozen stand - up comedians , filmed live on an evening in 1988 at new york ' s minetta lane theater . tim allen and chris rock have since gone on to fame and fortune in tv and movies , and jackie the jokeman martling is a member of radio star howard stern ' s troupe . the other performers , including ben creed , thea vidale , and john fox , are likely to be unfamiliar to all but a handful of viewers . the film ' s producers maintain that these performers are legends on the regional comedy club circuit , but that the
adult
content of their material keeps them off cable comedy and talk shows . based on what we see of their routines , it ' s obvious why . not only is the humor almost entirely about sex , much of it seems intentionally calculated to offend . it should be reported that the audience eats it up . the film only has an 88 minute running time , so the comics rotate on and off stage at a rapid clip .
pack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .

i purchased this dvd as a gift for my husband . it was great ! the jokes were solid , and as an added bonus , you also got to laugh at thea vitale ' s hair and chris rock ' s goofy pants . gotta love the 80 ' s . . .
i rented this dvd because i am a big bill hicks fan . i figured if hes on it , it can ' t be that bad . i watched the whole thing , and it was awful . seeing tim allen was kind of fun , but the rest , besides bill hicks where very bad . seriously , if your a bill hicks fan interested in this dvd , don ' t bother he just does about 10 - 15 minutes of stand up . the only thing worse than
comedy ' s dirtiest dozen
was the
heavy weights of comedy
part . this was just some obese men and women coming out and making fat jokes about themselves . this was awful , don ' t bother .
you all talk about bill hicks . yeah , he ' s great , but what about otto & george ? the best on the show !
he ' s the best comedian ever . better than so many of his other contemporaries . i enjoyed the other acts as well . i just wish they had more like this video .
this is actually a great dvd . you actually get a chance to see some of out more famous comedians in action back when they were almost unknown . the highlight of this dvd , for me anyway and hopefully others , was that this is one of the very few chances you get to see the late , great bill hicks on camera . for fans of his cd ' s , it ' s worth the money just to see him on film . definitely worth it .
this is a really bad dvd . none of the comedians set the place alight at all . tim allen ' s performance is the pick of the bunch , even though it wasn ' t that good either . i found chris rock ' s material to be very weak for a guy that i consider to be the funniest comedian of all time . he has surely come a long way . bill hicks is his usual animated and unfunny self . this was a waste of time and money .
i rented this solely because of tim allen , chris rock , and bill hicks , and as i expected , they were the highlights of the movie . the title doesn ' t lie - - these 12 performers really are comedy ' s dirtiest . the humor is vulgar , shocking , and totally filthy , but only these three know how to do it right . it also says a lot about the overall quality of this movie that they are the only ones who have anything original to say . the rest of them are all from the school of comedy that teaches if you can ' t think of anything creative , a bunch of anal sex jokes will do . personally , i thought tim allen gave the very best performance . he is uproariously funny , and it is hard to believe that he went from doing this to fluff like
home improvement
( a good show , but not anything like his early standup ) . he is the only one who actually had me laughing out loud . chris rock is also good ( not great ) . he is very young here , but he already has his
born suspect
act nailed . he is pretty good for an up - and - coming comedian , and any fan of his should rent this movie immediately . and , of course , there ' s bill hicks , who outshines everyone else by far ( allen made me laugh the hardest , but bill still has the better act ) . how they can include a genius like hicks with the likes of stephanie hodge is beyond me . he was one hell of a comedian , and almost makes it worth it to buy this . almost . 5 / 10 stars . watch it for the guys you know .
