The Thought Bubble Anthology is the third annual comic book accompaniment to the Leeds Comic Art Festival which this year falls on 23-24 November. Most anthologies tend to be an even mix of good and bad stories though this year’s Thought Bubble Anthology was really enjoyable and features an abundance of absolutely brilliant comics from some of the best creators in the industry.
Marc Ellerby’s Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter/Ellerbisms crossover was definitely my favourite as he sends up his own work (autobiographical comics), comic book perceptions of non-comics readers, and digital comics all in one brilliantly written and drawn self-contained story. The final panel is perfect and this comic will have you looking up more of this artist’s work.
Cameron Stewart and Brandon Graham’s One Night in Comicopolis is so good it should have its own series. A woman carrying a caption box through streets...

The acclaimed “Return To Burma” may now be watched in the comfort of your homes.
Slated for a DVD release on November 12, Midi Z’s “do it yourself” drama (he directed, produced, edited and done the photography. Boy is he passionate about this?) is set in the heart of Burma (Myanmar) when construction worker Xing-Hong (Wang Shin-Hong) decides to return to his home after ten years of working abroad. With what little money left on hand, Xing-Hong is dedicated to stay and start a small business, with as little hope that Burma will finally get better. Meanwhile, despite the hopeful first democratic elections, his brother pursues to emigrate and work in Malaysia, practically the last straw for uneducated youths of the developing country. The angst of Burmese locales is in the core of the film.

Some of the finest directors have produced masterful triptychs. But do we really need a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean?
It currently seems the only three that interests Hollywood relates to dimensionality. The reverence once extended to the film trilogy is fast diminishing, and although third instalments are due for Transformers, Ong-Bak, Paranormal Activity, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Men in Black, Madagascar, Batman and Iron Man, only the first two have been announced as series finales.
Indeed, with Scre4m, Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides and Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World soon to be followed by fourth entries in the Austin Powers, Mission: Impossible, Underworld and Bourne franchises, the trilogy could soon go the way of the 2D movie, as the synergy-obsessed suits controlling the multi-media conglomerates now owning the major studios adhere to the maxim that familiarity breeds both content and profit.

Residents in the Cotswolds have taken down a fake tourist road sign promising an "official dogging area" ahead. The sign advertising a site for public sex was placed on the A417 at Birdlip because of the reputation of the nearby Barrow Wake viewpoint, BBC News reports. Local resident David Parkinson said that the image of the area was a problem, explaining: "It does tend to make the lives of local residents impossible. "The viewpoint itself is one of the best in the area, giving fantastic views (more)...

Congratulations to Jamie Ellis, Christine Russell and Tim Newsome - a set is on its way to each you!
As the hi-def assault gathers momentum, Optimum Home Entertainment are releasing some bona fide classics on Blu-ray via The Studio Canal Collection. Revisiting Studio Canal's back catalogue, the 15th Feb sees a wonderfully eclectic trio released exclusively on Blu-ray for the first time. What's more, Optimum have 3 sets to give away for lucky Twitch readers in the UK.
First up is The Go-Between, based on LP Hartley's novel of the same name, starring Julie Christie, Edward Fox and Alan Bates in a magnificently English period drama, of lusty Victorians and adolescent confusion. This was probably the first film that gave me faith in movies being able to interpret novels successfully, having read the book at school and subsequently dug out the film. An in-her-prime Christie probably helped too...

Those compiling their best of the year lists would do well to consult the roll-call of gong-winners handed out by an august band of international critics
Any perspicacious film festival-goer or festival-watcher will have noticed that one of the prizes awarded at most festivals, in addition to the Golden Palms, Golden Lions or Golden Leopards etc, is the Fipresci (Federation International de la Presse Cinematographic) – aka the international film critics' award. In principle, this should be the most prestigious and sought-after prize of all, because the juries are made up of professional film critics (usually five, each from a different country) who are paid to tell the public what is good or bad and why.
Unfortunately, the Fipresci prize does not carry with it any money but, in theory, it does help the film gain a distributor. However, on one occasion, I remember that a director, who had just won the Fipresci prize,...

With its silent superspectacles, postwar neo-realism and 1960s new wave, the Italian film industry has enjoyed three major periods of international influence. In between times, it has assimilated the technological advances and dramatic styles of foreign competitors and used them to shape such local trends as the `white telephone' film, calligraphism, giallo, the `sword and sandal' epic, the `spaghetti' Western and the dialect comedy.
Over the years, the unexpected has become commonplace. Therefore, it's no surprise to see Gianni di Gregorio, the screenwriter of the uncompromising crime saga Gomorrah, making his directorial debut with Mid-August Lunch, a charming comedy of bourgeois manners, whose unforced naturalism, social insight and deceptive wit hark back to a golden age that is recalled here by MovieMail - the best place to buy classic movies and world cinema on DVD.
After two decades of propaganda and pictorialism, Italian film went back to basics after the Second World War.
