Advantages: Intesting aside to the main watchmen film Disadvantages: Too short
Tales of the Black Freighter is a comic within a comic, or maybe I should say graphic novel before I get lynched. The comic is seen being read by a background character in Watchmen, the teenage boy sitting beside the news stand.
Black freighter is a pirate themed decent in to madness. The story focuses on the unnamed sole survivor of his shipwreck after it was destroyed by the black freighter, a ship of murderous undead. Washed up on the shores of a deserted island among the rotting corpse of his former crew members, the protagonist sanity slips away as he desperately searches to find a way to return to his family.

The Rhode Island-raised R&B singer Blu Cantrell released ?So Blu? as her debut album back in 2001. It saw her break through in a way which would allow her to really blow up in popularity for her second album when her most well-known song ?Breathe? in collaboration with Sean Paul came out in 2003.
1. ?Waste My Time?
Getting the album underway, this song has her breaking into some fly material which sees her working on beats form Tricky Stewart. The way in which it is composed is very representative of the sound of the time (and what had come through from 1998 up to this year) and so it showed that although she wasn?t doing anything new, she was prepared t do what the R&B fans wanted to hear at that particular time.
**Four Stars**
2. ?Hit ?em Up Style?
This was really the song which launched her into fame and it really deserved ...
becoming a monster and instead turns his keen mind to finding a cure.
He discovers there are 2 distinct stages to the virus or vampirism, The infected and the un-dead.
His struggles are as much in the mind as physically against the creatures of the night.
The ending of the movie was explosive and had a good twist.
~The Acting~
The acting is superb and Will Smith is at his best. The sense of loneliness for a good 3rd of the film is eerie and the amosphere is superbly done.
The flash backs to his family are at times disjointed but are clearly a requirement to the plot.
~The Blu Ray~
~Video Blu Ray~
The Blu Ray Edition is simply stunning to see. The start of the movie where he is around the city in and amongst the wild life is amazing.
The contrasts are clear and Blacks are deep across the entire scale ...

Album Notes
Audio Mixer: Andrew Seidel. Recording information: Avalon Studios, Bethesda, MD (12/2008). Photographer: Chris Whitley. Corey Harris takes a decidedly anthropological and academic approach to the blues, deeply researching its variants and origins, even making several trips to Africa to trace out its DNA (resulting in the marvelous MISSISSIPPI TO MALI), but even as Harris thinks and connects dots like a scholar, when he gets down to playing the songs, he's all musician. That leads him to create some wonderful hybrids, and he seems to have settled home lately with a sound that seems more Jamaican than anything else. BLU. BLACK starts with the lovely "Blue" and ends with a juke joint blues called "Black," so it's obvious what terrain Harris is mapping out here. But in between he gently works in some Americanized roots reggae, some quiet storm-type ballads and odds and ends of other Afro-mixed musical ephemera, and amazingly, he does it with a calm, assured and extremely positive voice that is as welcome as it is vital. A winning singer, with an easy charm, Harris shines here on songs (most of them were co-written with keyboardist and producer Chris "Peanut" Whitley) like "King and Queen" (a duet with Davina Jackson), the straight-out-of-Kingston-sounding "Conquering Lion," the sunny skanking "Run Around Girl," and a moving, stark solo version of Burning Spear's "Columbus." It all goes down easy, and Harris' naturally positive tone makes this album yet another treat from this gifted musician.
