Noir Burlesque #1
- Title: Noir Burlesque #1
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Enrico Marini
- Artist: Enrico Marini
Enrico Marini’s Noir Burlesque #1 begins a noir tale set around a local mob boss, a returning solider turned professional thug with a debt to pay, and the beautiful dancer who will come between them. Marini’s first issue gets the tone of the genre with Slick being a bit too rough for his own good getting into trouble with Rex and his former love Caprice who is now married to the mob boss he owes money to.
Noir Burlesque has the feel of a story which won’t turn out well for any of our characters. The muted art with splashes of color captures the feel of 50s noir while the story unfolds leading to a confrontation between Slick and Rex and an impossible task to clear our protagonist’s ledger.

Cry Macho
- Title: Cry Macho
- IMDb: link
Clint Eastwood, who also directs, stars as an old cowboy sent to find the son (Eduardo Minett) of a rancher (Dwight Yoakam) in Mexico and bring him to the United States. Cry Macho is a slow-paced stalled road trip movie with Mike (Eastwood) and Rafo (Minett) getting stuck in a Mexican town for most of the film while hiding from authorities and the boy’s mother (Fernanda Urrejola) who doesn’t want him to leave Mexico.
Knocking around Hollywood for the better part of 50 years, the script offers some minimal commentary on machismo while the title of the movie comes from Rafo’s prize cock-fighting rooster. The story unfolds as expected with no stand-out scenes or surprises. Of course, Mike keeps a secret from Rafo leading to inevitable conflict in the final act before Cry Macho eventually limps to the finish line. It’s not a bad film, but there’s little of interest other than some nice cinematography of Mexico.
