This is a good book for Jessica Alba fans, since it gives all the basic essentials about her. It has great photos, and is short enough to read quickly through. It serves as collector's item for Jessica fans.

I love Jessica Alba, and this book is a book for Jessica Alba fans. It will intrigue you, and find out more on Jessica Alba by reading this book. I think this book should be a longer book, but she is only starting out in her career, so I'm sure there will be more information about her and her future works later on. But this book will please the fans, because it is about her. I enjoy reading about her, just as any other fan of Jessica. I feel this book delivers in depth about her. She is truly a talented and gorgious actress who needs to be in the spotlight more. I certainly suggest this book to the Jessica Alba fan, and if anyone knows how to contact her, please let me know, Thank You!
Yea...not so good.

I was somewhat disappointed by this book. It is very poorly written. The novel seems as though it was written by a 5 year old. It also did not go very in depth. All the information in this book you can find on just about any Jessica Alba web site. Also it is already out-dated. One of the good things about the book are the pictures. They picked some nice pictures to illustrate the book. This is one of those things you could skip, unless you're a real albaholic like me.

Because I needed a Dark Angel fix, I crossed my fingers, hoped for the best and bought the two books. I was very, very disappointed. I felt as though this book (and the other) were nothing more than authorized fan-fiction rather than a professionally written story involving my beloved characters.
It didn't help that the author either overlooked or completely ignored a detail only to use it in the plot here and there (Logan did not require the exo-suit. He regained the use of his legs thanks to Joshua's infusion and still used the exo-skeleton to enhance his ability as Phil did). Also, the descriptions and back-story were too overt, jarring you from the flow of the story.
Although the story was interesting, it lacked depth and since the show's episodes were deep and rich with side stories and info, you would think that a book would have that and more.
Overall, if you're looking for the last two episodes of the series to give closure, don't spend your money. Either borrow this book from your local library or read fan-fic from a fan-fiction site. This way the disappointment won't be followed by resentment for spending money on it!

One of Manticore's less successful experiments, and a nice joke 'Chameleon Boy', has become a serial killer. Evil and twisted Ames White ends up behind it. The Freak Nation has to investigate the case before the army moves in on them, after White's media manipulation.
Thanks to a decent cop, and two ex-subordinates of White's who dislike him about as much as everybody else, more, in their cases, as he was trying to get them bumped off--Max manages to work it out, but not without casualties and kidnappings.
All in all, a decent handling of the characters, again.

Max Guevera, mayor? Seems unlikely, but the defactor head of Terminal City is what she has become, it appears. She is also a big fan of Jonathon Swift.
Things start looking up, as the serial killer in the last episode, a shapeshifter, actually ended up taking out Logan's virus.
However, a gang then kidnaps Logan, and things go crazy.
It seems that the problem with centuries-spanning breeding cults, is, well, that they are a cult. Made up of people. With politics, power plays, etc.
The transgenics do not have this issue, and are able to use factional splits, and even Ames White, via his missing son, to cause a lot of problems for the Familiars.
Freaky prophecies about comets bringing death plagues are perhaps not too likely, either, they should keep in mind for the future.
A fun book.

It was so nice to finally have an ending to the Dark Angel series. I was so disappointed with the cliff-hanger ending of the second season. Many questions were answered and storylines finished in this book and yet it still left things open for Max Allan Collins to continue the book series if he wants. I, for one, hope he continues writing for this series.

It is my opinion that "Dark Angel: After the dark" does fill the needs of fans that just want closure. It closes most of the loose ends left by the sudden ending of the series. However, it makes some critical continuity errors that true fans won't miss. It is these errors along with some out of character actions that makes it fall short.
THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS! The book reads like a single episode. This is where the problems start. Dark Angel was too complex a show to be closed out with only one episode. This made all the "Answers" to the open questions very simple. For some of the answers I liked: The end to the siege & the answer to "What to do with these mutants". Without spoiling too much, the fact that having income generated by transgenic art is a direct idea from the series. Joshua had sold paintings for crate loads of cash in the past and this book runs with this idea of a way to generate income for the new town of "Terminal city". Having Max & her brood chase down one of their own builds the creditability that was need to get "Most" of the normal's out of their hair. The way they removed the virus from Max & Logan's way was inventive and unexpected. I think the whole "Logan's deep dark secret" was an unneeded distraction from the storyline only to keep them from "Getting Busy" since the virus was no longer in there way. They could have just as easily not cured them so early in the book and that whole story line could have been left out. The impending doom the Snake cult is waiting for turns out to be an end of the world plague brought on by a meteor. Since they were praying to a meteor shower in the series, I can buy this direction however; it still seems like a "Simple" answer.
Now for the problems. The biggest is Max and how they reduced her being humanity's savior to an antibody she's carrying. I don't buy this at all. There were numerous times when she had blood work done without indecent. It wasn't until Mantacore ran her DNA that they found out she was "The One". Also; during a conversation in "Freak Nation" between Max & Logan about her tattoo's, she said "Why didn't farther give me something I can use like x-ray vision" & Logan's response is "How do you know he didn't? Maybe it just hasn't manifested itself yet?" This statement alone gives insight into what Max was destine to become. There is further proof during the siege on Jam Pony. Just before Agent White's "Phalanx Warriors" attacked Max knew they were coming. Either by newly acquired advanced hearing or a sixth sense because none of the other transgenic's knew they were in danger.
In the book, Max is always annoyed when "Mole" had a firearm. The fact that Max herself didn't do guns is well known but she never voiced opposition to any of her Brothers. As a matter of fact: Zach practically had guns taped to his arms he used them so much without Max having a problem. Max also kills in this story. She broke so many people's necks I thought it was the episode of "Drawn Together" when Capt. Hero says "Maybe a little neck snapping will make you talk".
Logan's character was so wrong I don't know if the writers actually watched the show. First he had money, lots of it. Enough to buy buildings & set himself up a sweet pad in his new building next to Terminal city. Second he was crippled and needed the exoskeleton to allow him to walk. Even before Logan lost his fortune in the show, he never owned complete buildings, only his apartment. After his transfusion with Joshua to stave off the virus infection, he got use of his legs again. He only wore the exoskeleton because with it not burdened by paralyzed limbs, he had power as evident with him kicking his "Phalanx Warrior" out & saving Alex by kicking his opponent thru several walls.
Being a hardcore fan of the series, these facts made it hard to enjoy their interpretation of what would have happened. For a casual fan, the book offers closer so I give it 2 ½ stars.

I wasn't offended by the drugs, sex, or profanity. The movie is based on a worn out premise that was lifted from "Sex and the City". Loser kind of guy gets a smart, ambitious, pretty woman pregnant and this turns him into a good guy after all. Boring. Improbable. There were a few good lines, but far too few to support this movie. I didn't find it remotely believable. I know many people loved it but lots of people watch sitcoms on TV every night, laughing along with the laugh track. Maybe those are the people this movie appeals to. I can't watch them. I was hoping to like it but found it unbearable. It seemed like a sort of "chick flick" but my wife didn't like it either.

Foul Language, Foul acting, Foul scenes, Foul characters, Foul everything. I was real excited to watch it-Love Katherine- but I was very unimpressed with just about everything in this movie. Very unbelievable that someone who is as successful and beautiful as Katherine's character would ever have a one-night stand with the doped up, dirty mouthed male lead character. Then, to top it off, once she finds out she is pregnant, actually hunts him down and forces him to part of her world and adapts pretty well to his. Not funny. Not fun.

I guess the soulless scourge who find the lowbrow-humor movie, Knocked Up, "funny" also find bringing kids out of wedlock (called bastardized kids) into the world "funny!!!!" Knocked Up's premise--if you can call it that, which you cannot since it's more like a relentless running gag of p*rversity loaded with excess immaturity--is that a couple of liberal, young adults artificially coerce one another into a relationship after she gets pregnant in their heartless and thoughtless one-night stand, a one-night stand which refuses to take into consideration that sex is primarily for procreation, not hedonism.
Again, you can tell that liberals had their reactionary, little paws all over the script of this obscene film because it encourages sex out of lust and drunkenness, premarital sex, viewing babies as the mere, annoying side-effect of copulation, and birthing b*stard kids. The concern here is, obviously, unless you have no moral integrity to speak of, that young people and teens will be disadvantageously influenced to copy this misbehavior in real life because they misguidedly think how "cool" it was depicted on screen. Declining marriage rates and out-of-wedlock births are no laughing matter as the US government in 2006--as part of its census figures--reported that the rate of out-of-wedlock births was around 40%!!!! This film callously spits in the eye of said b*stard kids who are growing up without either Mommy or Daddy in their lives.
This is an R-rated movie, so right there one knows how infectious most of its material-fronting-as-humor will be; the tragedy with many R-rated movies is that they're marketed to teens who aren't allowed to see the sm*t-movie under the ratings system. If there are ANY parents (not in their right mind) out there reading this who have the nerve to permit their teens to see this showcase of lewdness and lowness, I'm going to shame you into reversing your decision by citing all the ethical breaches Knocked-Up perpetrates.
In order to determine whether a movie will have content in it which will degrade my character--impurity like excessive sex, violence, swearing, drug use, etc..--I consult the parent-friendly website called Screen It, which lists moral affronts in movies to determine their admissibility for young people. Knocked-Up fails on all counts!!!!
For instance, remember the depraved scene-disguised-as-humor when we see Ben's pimply rear end after he and Allison "got busy?" Kids and teens don't need to see the obese, hairy rears of fat guys like Seth Rogan, and this is after the enormously suggestive scene immediately preceding it. To show the depraved one-night stand, the liberal writers gloatingly and asininely showed Ben and Allison rushing to copulation without putting on condoms!!!! The ethical affronts aside, this movie glorifies dangerous sexual malpractice in this day and age of rampant STDs.
Or how about the infamous scene indulging in the foulest of unsanitary "jokes": the scene when Ben and his lib-buddies get an e-mail from Allison demanding to talk to him, one of his lib-buddies blurts that Allison liked the way Ben's you-know-what tasted. Not happy with this profaning of the storyline via suggestiveness, the writers ensure the sm*t is imposed on everyone watching when Ben takes Jason's head and does mock oral sex thrusting on it!!!!
Not content with offending societal mores with immoderate "jokes" (read: obscenities) about sex, Knocked-Up's also got lots of toxic examples of poisonous incivility. Some infamous examples are: when Debbie and Allison aren't allowed into a club by the doorman, they demean him as a fu**ing, little fa**t (so much for the lie that libs are tolerant of g*ys); the misjudging, liberal writers assumed it'd be funny to jeer at people in wheelchairs who suffer from Lou Gherig's disease, as when Jay imitates a synthesized voice in a wheelchair in the hospital; and one of Ben's lib-buddies advises that Allison should get a murderous abortion (sm-smorshin in the lib movie's "cool" lingo!), which even ends in a child-sodomizing "joke!!!!"
After all these cultural, ethical and societal trespasses, I cannot think of any parent who wants their teen to see this pollution disguised as a movie--unless, of course, the parent is liberal and not into drawing moral boundaries. Additionally, even if you're an adult, you should spare yourself from enduring this indecency imitating entertainment because it will harden you to values in life and lower your principles. The falsehood the apologists of this film use--that it's "only" entertainment--isn't defensible if you become degraded as a result of watching this coarse film.
To recap, my review utterly confirms that Knocked Up is 100% a raw excuse for entertainment which ridicules invalids, healthy sexual relationships, matrimony, fidelity and basic civility. Thanks to all the moral relativists who patronize this filth, it can also conceal all these societal breaches by falsifying it's only a comedy. Teens are urged to embargo this film, and immature adults are also urged to do something more productive with their time.

Everyone said this movie was "so funny" but I found it to be just ok. I don't like it when the writer's idea of humor is the f-word every other word. There are other ways to be funny and it was very tiring by the end. The story was pretty good if only the presentation had been better.
Apatow hits another dinger with sweet, semi-serious "KU"

Judd Apatow has become to today's slackers what John Hughes was to teenagers in the mid-80s. He has tapped into the zeitgeist of guy-dom with fresh comedies that are as identifiable by their sly humor as they are by their lingering pace. "Knocked Up," like "The 40-Year Old Virgin," takes its time.
Seth Rogan, whose lovable, bemused mug personifies the picture, plays Ben Stone. Ben is a slacker - a Canadian who has moved to the states to make some easy money (but without a plan), surviving on the $14K he got in an accident settlement. Ben hangs with a worthy batch of slackers who are convinced they can make it big by developing a website cataloging nudity in mainstream films - although it's somewhat surprising nobody has heard of Mr. Skin. It's a given that these guys are lovable and hilarious, not to mention perpetually stoned.
Katherine Heigl has the other key lead as Alison Scott. She celebrates her big break - getting a chance to "anchor" the "news" on the E Channel - by clubbing with her obnoxious married big sister Debbie (Leslie Mann). Alison beer-goggles her way into Ben's bed, and a miscommunication later, she's got morning sickness on camera.
When Alison decides to keep the baby and also have Ben involved, the plot is more or less set - can these two misfits make a family? While this may be the most overdone plot device in modern TV and movies, "Knocked Up" handles it with maturity and hilarity. Ben has to grow up and realize he's worthy of a dream-girl, and Alison has to come to terms with her new career trajectory and a life with Ben.
Look for great laughs and some real emotion here, particularly as Debbie and her husband Pete (Paul Rudd) go through their own version of the seven-year itch.
This ain't a great comedy - it's probably too long and a couple of issues could have been ironed out a little neater. But as long as you don't let yourself get distracted by the pro-choice/pro-life politics some have injected into this film, you're going to have a great time with this movie.
Seth Rogan, whose lovable, bemused mug personifies the picture, plays Ben Stone. Ben is a slacker - a Canadian who has moved to the states to make some easy money (but without a plan), surviving on the $14K he got in an accident settlement. Ben hangs with a worthy batch of slackers who are convinced they can make it big by developing a website cataloging nudity in mainstream films - although it's somewhat surprising nobody has heard of Mr. Skin. It's a given that these guys are lovable and hilarious, not to mention perpetually stoned.
Katherine Heigl has the other key lead as Alison Scott. She celebrates her big break - getting a chance to "anchor" the "news" on the E Channel - by clubbing with her obnoxious married big sister Debbie (Leslie Mann).

I wasn't offended by the drugs, sex, or profanity. The movie is based on a worn out premise that was lifted from "Sex and the City". Loser kind of guy gets a smart, ambitious, pretty woman pregnant and this turns him into a good guy after all. Boring. Improbable. There were a few good lines, but far too few to support this movie. I didn't find it remotely believable. I know many people loved it but lots of people watch sitcoms on TV every night, laughing along with the laugh track. Maybe those are the people this movie appeals to. I can't watch them. I was hoping to like it but found it unbearable. It seemed like a sort of "chick flick" but my wife didn't like it either.

Foul Language, Foul acting, Foul scenes, Foul characters, Foul everything. I was real excited to watch it-Love Katherine- but I was very unimpressed with just about everything in this movie. Very unbelievable that someone who is as successful and beautiful as Katherine's character would ever have a one-night stand with the doped up, dirty mouthed male lead character. Then, to top it off, once she finds out she is pregnant, actually hunts him down and forces him to part of her world and adapts pretty well to his. Not funny. Not fun.
Knocked Up is the Euphemism for getting pregnant, but what's the Euphemism for low Adults getting off on this lowbrow "comedy?!"

I guess the soulless scourge who find the lowbrow-humor movie, Knocked Up, "funny" also find bringing kids out of wedlock (called bastardized kids) into the world "funny!!!!" Knocked Up's premise--if you can call it that, which you cannot since it's more like a relentless running gag of p*rversity loaded with excess immaturity--is that a couple of liberal, young adults artificially coerce one another into a relationship after she gets pregnant in their heartless and thoughtless one-night stand, a one-night stand which refuses to take into consideration that sex is primarily for procreation, not hedonism.
Again, you can tell that liberals had their reactionary, little paws all over the script of this obscene film because it encourages sex out of lust and drunkenness, premarital sex, viewing babies as the mere, annoying side-effect of copulation, and birthing b*stard kids. The concern here is, obviously, unless you have no moral integrity to speak of, that young people and teens will be disadvantageously influenced to copy this misbehavior in real life because they misguidedly think how "cool" it was depicted on screen. Declining marriage rates and out-of-wedlock births are no laughing matter as the US government in 2006--as part of its census figures--reported that the rate of out-of-wedlock births was around 40%!!!! This film callously spits in the eye of said b*stard kids who are growing up without either Mommy or Daddy in their lives.
This is an R-rated movie, so right there one knows how infectious most of its material-fronting-as-humor will be; the tragedy with many R-rated movies is that they're marketed to teens who aren't allowed to see the sm*t-movie under the ratings system. If there are ANY parents (not in their right mind) out there reading this who have the nerve to permit their teens to see this showcase of lewdness and lowness, I'm going to shame you into reversing your decision by citing all the ethical breaches Knocked-Up perpetrates.
In order to determine whether a movie will have content in it which will degrade my character--impurity like excessive sex, violence, swearing, drug use, etc..--I consult the parent-friendly website called Screen It, which lists moral affronts in movies to determine their admissibility for young people. Knocked-Up fails on all counts!!!!
For instance, remember the depraved scene-disguised-as-humor when we see Ben's pimply rear end after he and Allison "got busy?" Kids and teens don't need to see the obese, hairy rears of fat guys like Seth Rogan, and this is after the enormously suggestive scene immediately preceding it. To show the depraved one-night stand, the liberal writers gloatingly and asininely showed Ben and Allison rushing to copulation without putting on condoms!!!! The ethical affronts aside, this movie glorifies dangerous sexual malpractice in this day and age of rampant STDs.
Or how about the infamous scene indulging in the foulest of unsanitary "jokes": the scene when Ben and his lib-buddies get an e-mail from Allison demanding to talk to him, one of his lib-buddies blurts that Allison liked the way Ben's you-know-what tasted. Not happy with this profaning of the storyline via suggestiveness, the writers ensure the sm*t is imposed on everyone watching when Ben takes Jason's head and does mock oral sex thrusting on it!!!!
Not content with offending societal mores with immoderate "jokes" (read: obscenities) about sex, Knocked-Up's also got lots of toxic examples of poisonous incivility. Some infamous examples are: when Debbie and Allison aren't allowed into a club by the doorman, they demean him as a fu**ing, little fa**t (so much for the lie that libs are tolerant of g*ys); the misjudging, liberal writers assumed it'd be funny to jeer at people in wheelchairs who suffer from Lou Gherig's disease, as when Jay imitates a synthesized voice in a wheelchair in the hospital; and one of Ben's lib-buddies advises that Allison should get a murderous abortion (sm-smorshin in the lib movie's "cool" lingo!), which even ends in a child-sodomizing "joke!!!!"
After all these cultural, ethical and societal trespasses, I cannot think of any parent who wants their teen to see this pollution disguised as a movie--unless, of course, the parent is liberal and not into drawing moral boundaries. Additionally, even if you're an adult, you should spare yourself from enduring this indecency imitating entertainment because it will harden you to values in life and lower your principles. The falsehood the apologists of this film use--that it's "only" entertainment--isn't defensible if you become degraded as a result of watching this coarse film.
To recap, my review utterly confirms that Knocked Up is 100% a raw excuse for entertainment which ridicules invalids, healthy sexual relationships, matrimony, fidelity and basic civility. Thanks to all the moral relativists who patronize this filth, it can also conceal all these societal breaches by falsifying it's only a comedy. Teens are urged to embargo this film, and immature adults are also urged to do something more productive with their time.

Everyone said this movie was "so funny" but I found it to be just ok. I don't like it when the writer's idea of humor is the f-word every other word. There are other ways to be funny and it was very tiring by the end. The story was pretty good if only the presentation had been better.

Judd Apatow has become to today's slackers what John Hughes was to teenagers in the mid-80s. He has tapped into the zeitgeist of guy-dom with fresh comedies that are as identifiable by their sly humor as they are by their lingering pace. "Knocked Up," like "The 40-Year Old Virgin," takes its time.
Seth Rogan, whose lovable, bemused mug personifies the picture, plays Ben Stone. Ben is a slacker - a Canadian who has moved to the states to make some easy money (but without a plan), surviving on the $14K he got in an accident settlement. Ben hangs with a worthy batch of slackers who are convinced they can make it big by developing a website cataloging nudity in mainstream films - although it's somewhat surprising nobody has heard of Mr. Skin. It's a given that these guys are lovable and hilarious, not to mention perpetually stoned.
Katherine Heigl has the other key lead as Alison Scott. She celebrates her big break - getting a chance to "anchor" the "news" on the E Channel - by clubbing with her obnoxious married big sister Debbie (Leslie Mann). Alison beer-goggles her way into Ben's bed, and a miscommunication later, she's got morning sickness on camera.
When Alison decides to keep the baby and also have Ben involved, the plot is more or less set - can these two misfits make a family? While this may be the most overdone plot device in modern TV and movies, "Knocked Up" handles it with maturity and hilarity. Ben has to grow up and realize he's worthy of a dream-girl, and Alison has to come to terms with her new career trajectory and a life with Ben.
Look for great laughs and some real emotion here, particularly as Debbie and her husband Pete (Paul Rudd) go through their own version of the seven-year itch.
This ain't a great comedy - it's probably too long and a couple of issues could have been ironed out a little neater. But as long as you don't let yourself get distracted by the pro-choice/pro-life politics some have injected into this film, you're going to have a great time with this movie.
