Page 1-Babylon: Swing and a Miss
A movie which gives off the strong signs of disaster has been in many ways successful, what does this mean for criticism? The origins of Babylon's style are traced back to the source and how accurately it captures the silent film world in the me-too era. Is the film as risqué and obscene as it wants to be? Should one be flattered by its intentions or offended by the flaws? Having delved in to just about every angle, is it fun? All is revealed in this review.

Page 8-He's Got a Ticket to Ride
Jean-Francois Richet's Plane. The trailer went through about 6 different genres. Can the film tie them all together? We have our first interview for Funeralopolis. Our mystery guest has seen some action in Desert Storm but these days mainly gets freelance work in bodyguard duties overseas and occasionally Hollywood hires his services as an outside consultant. One could say he's got the magic ticket. He goes by the codename: Sheldon Coltrane and he's here to talk Plane.
Page 14-The Roulette Wheel has Chosen


It's another dark and depressing day as Kelly is forced to endure yet another watered down studio horror with Megan. He refuses to encourage it. The good reviews only stir him further. Also, Bonehead Bill introduces us to The Renegades of Funk and catches us up to speed with his eventful New Year's Eve. This is not to be missed.
Page 27-Whales, Donkeys and Horses: A Free Jazz Improvisational Review
An Ornette Coleman inspired review. No planned structure or end goal. No restructuring later. All in a single take. Just firing left, right and centre with a few things on the mind. Whales, donkeys and horses will be the focus with off shoots in to the state of slow cinema, Hitchcock, the apocalypse and whatever distracts me. EO and The Whale will be covered as a double review. The nature of transcendental style and whether it exists is examined. Will Wild Horses drag Kelly away from his doubts?
