Green Lantern: Beware My Power

By | Jul 26, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

Green Lantern: Beware My Power appears to show a newfound willingness by Warner Bros. Animation to expand outside of ‘Batman’ and ‘Justice League’ branded content, with the previous New 52-inspired continuity primarily built around ‘Batman’, ‘Justice League’, and ‘Teen Titans’ features. While 2/5 of the Tomorrowverse is currently Batman content, those other three feature a […]

Thor: Love and Thunder

By | Jul 8, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

No spoilers, but there are mid-credits and post-credits scenes, which both do an important job of setting up a possible an inevitable sequel. Believe it or not, my biggest takeaway after watching Thor: Love and Thunder — director and Korg actor Taika Waititi’s sequel to his 2017 hit Thor: Ragnarok — is that Waititi’s favorite […]

Morbius

By | Apr 1, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

It’s never a good sign after leaving a movie that one of my first thoughts are “how did this get made?” Followed closely by “on a scale of Suicide Squad (2016) to Justice League (2017), where does this fall?” Those are what rattled around in my head as I walked back from seeing this movie […]

The Batman

By | Mar 3, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

There is something off about the Batman, a recognition of something darker that underlies the self-deprecating jab in Batman Begins about how “a guy who dresses up like a bat clearly has issues.” That gnawing tension runs through Matt Reeves’s new film, aptly titled, The Batman. It slowly walks out of the shadows in the […]

Marry Me

By | Feb 15, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

One of the most unlikely comic book movies of the year, She-Hulk director Kat Coiro’s romantic comedy Marry Me — based on the webcomic by Bobby Crosby and (an unfortunately uncredited) Remy “Eisu” Mokhtar — features Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in the tale of a similarly unexpected pairing: Kat Valdez (Lopez), a pop star, […]

Catwoman: Hunted

By | Feb 9, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

After nearly 15 years of DC Universe Animated Original Movies, Catwoman finally has her own feature solo film, and it’s an anime movie co-starring Batwoman no less, directed by Shinsuke Terasawa from a script by Young Justice co-creator Greg Weisman. Like many animated DTV DC films, it’s a slightly undercooked, 80-minute affair, but still enough […]
