Sabadino Parker has been writing for PopMatters since 2000.  A lifelong writer from Connecticut, Sabadino’s weekly syndicated DVD review column, “Getting Reel,” has appeared in local newspapers for almost a decade, and his fiction and poetry have been published in both print and online media.  Having recently earned his Masters in English from Trinity College, Sabadino is hoping to amass a collection of degrees to match that of his comic books. He is currently the editorial manager for The Scene Magazine and owns Sparker Media, a freelance writing, editing, and online marketing company.  He is currently at work on his second novel, which should see the light of day sometime in 2012.  Feel free to e-mail Seb at sebparker@yahoo.com.

Deadly Connections in 'My Time Will Come'

My Time Will Come is a cinematic achievement from a region of the world whose theatrical talent has been given little spotlight. Its value as a work of ingenuity will make it a prized possession of any film aficionado's library.
