Now Playing Magazine #1

Pick it up now !!


Today I was asked , "How can you review a magazine about reviews?". So this is more of a recommendation than a review. Now Playing (issue #1 on stands now) is a new publication right now slated for a 4 times a year print run. This magazine can be described in one word, "WOW". It covers about every aspect of media and pop culture out today. This issue alone covers so many different topics that it will keep you reading cover to cover. Here is a breakdown of some of the top stories covered in this issue.

The Sincerest Form of Flattery: A look at the proliferation of fan-made films based on licensed characters.

This Game Is Far From Over: Covering the idea of video game based movies and thier effect on pop culture and the future of movie-making.

Asian Invasion: The influx of Asain culture into the American mainstream. From the remakes of Japanese horror like The Ring and The Grudge, to music and art.

Silver Screen Superstars: Hollywood blockbusters made from comic book properties.

Plus loads of other small stories and sidebars. The reviews section of the book is worth the purchase price alone. Covering DVD's, music, video games and comics.

I cannot say enough good things about this magazine. I look forward to the 2nd issue and hope they decide to publish more than 4 times a year.
