To say I was excited to see Batman v. Superman when it first came out in theaters in an understatement. My husband and I got married the weekend it was released – and not by accident. He’s a huge DC Comics fan, while I think Henry Cavill is super hot! Kidding (but also not kidding)….
It’s not surprising that more and more superhero films are getting grittier rather than fluffier. Success stories like Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy led the movement and now another, yet quite surprising, rendition of Batman will take a dark path, but this time it’s animated. The Internet is abuzz over Batman: The Killing Joke, an…
There have been a lot of superheroes flying around these days but it’s hard to keep track of how many Batmans (Batmen sounded less…Batman) we’ve been through. Here’s a clip from the 2014 movie Neighbors which is genuinely a conversation I have both heard and taken part in. I decided to go back and rank the…
If 2016’s Batman movie just wasn’t for you then maybe you’ll have better luck in 2017. No one has been disappointed by Legos! Unless you’ve stepped on one before… Yes, in 2017 we will see Lego’s return to the screen with The Lego Batman Movie. Super busy writer Seth Grahame-Smith (currently working on The Flash…
When I walked into the theater to see Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, I wasn’t super thrilled. The critics haven’t been impressed and the fans have taken every opportunity to dump all over it. Here’s my overwhelming thought once I left my seat: Everyone needs to cool their jets. Now before you get all…
EDITOR’S NOTE: Keep a lookout. Our review of Batman v Superman will be up soon. As I wandered around SXSW this past week I found myself anxiously looking around for the guys from Telltale to spill the details on their newest venture. As a fan of all things Telltale I was psyched to learn that they were taking…
A movie trailer isn’t the whole story. A movie trailer’s job is to show just enough information to hook the movie-goers into seeing the film in full upon its release date. They usually do this by showing moments of extreme action or putting an epic soundtrack to the segments. Nothing peaks my interest more than…
No one asked but I’m here to tell you anyway. Here are my most anticipated sci-fi films of 2016! 5. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice I don’t really care what people are saying about the trailer because I’m psyched to see Snyder’s version of the two capes. As part of the 5% of people…
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen any new footage from Zach Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. After a leaked teaser and an underwhelming official trailer now comes the might-show-a-little-too-much trailer. Check out trailer number two which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. It seems that Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne don’t like…
This week the long-awaited Lego Dimensions game dropped for PS3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One as well as the Wii U. The ages recommended is 7-14, which is ridiculous because Lego games are atrociously fun for all ages. Dimensions in particular encompasses so many popular characters that there’s sure to be something for everyone….
Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns is ground-breaking for many reasons. It was the first comic book to describe a world where the boundaries of right and wrong aren’t so easy to distinguish. It proved that comic books could tackle serious issues like racism and prejudice. It made our heroes real people, dealing with imperfection….
The San Diego Convention Center may be huge, but it’s unable to contain all of the excitement of Comic-Con, which came to a close this week. There were lots of panels, trailers and fun and I’m here to talk film. The most buzzed about trailer to be released online was Batman v Superman: Dawn of…
