Daddy Day Care ( 2003 ) Eddie Murphy

In this collection of some of those stories, one member of the superpowered team Youngblood is murdered, and, in a wry commentary on the darker tone superhero comics adopted in the 1980s, one of her comrades stands trial. The investigation uncovers a magical book containing the stories of every person who ever existed; tracing the book's history over the centuries gives Moore the chance to visit various other genres, including the western, the war story, and the jungle tale. The collaborating artists' styles range from Rob Liefield's overblown excessiveness to the comics classicism of Gil Kane in some of his final work before his death.

One Day Deep by German musician Praful (pronounced pra-fool) is a kind of hybrid world music, jazz, and electronica affair that manages to glide along in a smooth jazz kind of way that does nothing to offend, but simultaneously does nothing to distinguish itself either. Destined to be played in fusion restaurants around the globe, Praful's particular brand of down-tempo acid jazz has all the elements that make the genre a turn-off to both jazz aficionados and electronic fans alike. The problem being, it holds none of the extremes of either genre – neither the skilled improvisations of the best jazz music, nor the far reaching sounds and beats of the premier electronic outfits. Thus, it is left blandly CHR. /popmatters.com/
