BAM

If you love movies, you'll love "3 Black Chicks Review Flicks." Besides being funny and presenting a great rating system, these women are intelligent and able to express themselves perfectly in talking about movies. Their reviews are honest and real and cross the boundries of sex and race, thus presenting valuable insight. This is 1 white chick who loves those 3 black chicks!

I highly recommend this book! It is as insightful and funny as their popular web site. Very nice to see movies reviewed from an African-American point of view.

I saw this title in a Book Club I belong too&something told me too just go for it&I did.this Book is fun&Informative as well.very detailed& i dug the Honesty&presentation...

Great Jaime Hernandez artwork, as you'd expect. But in this collection it's mostly in service of some pointless and fairly humourless lampoon of some LA clique that may or may not still exist - if it ever did in the first place. And Jaime's perennial problem with the creation of believable women undermines the plot still more. Sure, we love Hopey and Maggie, but if we're supposed to take them seriously now, how come they still act like complete whack jobs? Other female characters featured (i.e. Aging Media Lesbians Who Keep Young Women As Pets - of which there are apparently so many, they have their own club) are so out-there and stupid that you wonder if maybe Jaime is having a joke at our (the readers) expense (fifteen dollars plus shipping). It's not coincidence, I think, that the sexual content was ratcheted up in the stories of this collection - a good indicator of narrative bankruptcy.

Wigwam Bam has to be Jaime Hernandez' most compelling comic book ever. It mainly focus on Hopey and the residents of Hoppers, as Maggie (Hopey's girlfriend) leaves Hopey after a snooty party. From then on Maggie doesn't turn up again. In wigwam Bam, we find out more about Hopey and that she actually does love Maggie and has a heart. We also get to delve deeper into Isobel's twisted psyche as she goes and looks for Maggie and Hopey. I honestly admit that I had never had such an emotional involvement with any comic characters as I did with Wigwam Bam. Even if you haven't read the other volumes of the Love and Rockets series, Wigwam Bam is most definately worth a look.

When I worked for a day care center, this was one of my favorites to read to the toddlers. It was one of the children's favorites as well. They loved to repeat the rhythmic lines (and Bam! Bam! Bam! is easy for even a beginning talker to repeat). This book does a lot to engage young children visually as well with its bold and bright pictures, containing some of the most interesting illustrations in children's books. If you can find it, I also recommend the audio cassette for this book. Children will naturally follow the beats and rhythm of the song - like narration.
