- In the new “Get Kraven†miniseries, the first few pages are about an independent filmmaker who’s working on a documentary but with a script, which they have rewritten by Kevin Smith. He has a big mention — it spans about four pages long, and we hear it’s a good one — The company’s corporate bigwig has a complete change of heart on the project when he heard that Kevin is attached. Check out the mini at your local comic shops.

- IGN.com recently ran a review for the Vanilla Sky DVD, giving it a 7 out of a possible 10, but really praising Jason Lee’s performance. The reviewer must be a News Askew reader, because of this one paragraph: “The movie isn’t terrible, just a bit flawed.
