Movie Review: REIGN OF THE SUPERMEN (2019)

Just over 26 years ago, a comic book event took place that shook the industry, and its readers, to their core.  That event was the infamous “Death of Superman”.  This story was so big, so powerful, that it made headlines in newspapers all across the world.  It changed comics forever.  Then, in 2007, DC launched their animated film line with an adaptation of this story, called Superman/Doomsday.  Now, while this was a decent adaptation for the time, it was severely lacking in many ways.  This was a story far too broad to be contained within the film’s 77 minute runtime, and it took over a decade before DC was willing to take another crack at it, and I’m so glad they did.

Short Film Spotlight: THE DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN

Welcome to another installment of SHORT FILM SPOTLIGHT. This week, we continue our look at superhero fan films with a more unorthodox, lo-fi, and irreverent pick...THE DEATH AND RETURN OF SUPERMAN, written by and starring Max Landis.

This Week In Movie News: 8/14 - 8/20

Hey there, movie fans!  Welcome to a new edition of THIS WEEK IN MOVIE NEWS, where we compile all the top movie news for the week and bring it to you all in one convenient place.  So, without further ado, here's the news:

Weekly Comic Pull #15: Lunatics and Time Travelers

Greetings, one and all, to the latest installment of the Weekly Comic Pull, the show where I take a dive into the world of comics and talk about what I fished out. This week, we've got some great stuff ready for me to review. Some good stuff, some not so good stuff, but all worth talking about. So, without further delay, let us begin.

Weekly Comic Pull #14: All the World is Waiting

Welcome to this week's installment of the Weekly Comic Pull, where I go over everything I've been reading in the world of comics. This week, we'll be pulling double duty, as I figured, seeing as this week was short enough, I could do an extra large pull with a more interesting smattering of things. So, without further adeu, let's start off with something a bit more off the beaten path...

Weekly Comic Pull #12: Unite the Seven

Welcome, one and all, to this week's installment of the Weekly Comic Pull, the show where I run down everything on my pull list this week. This week (July 6th), we're back with some great stuff from DC, Marvel, and even an indie. So, without further delay, let's get into this week's comics.

Side By Side: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (Theatrical Cut vs. Ultimate Edition)

Welcome to another installment of SIDE BY SIDE, where we dissect the differences and similarities between two films, be it a remake/reboot with its original, a sequel with its original, two similar movies, or in this case, two different versions of the same movie.  This week Bailey T. Steen compares the highly divisive BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Theatrical Cut with the recently released R-rated Ultimate Edition.  Enjoy!

Weekly Comic Pull #7: Rebirth Edition

Welcome to the seventh installment of our weekly dive into the world of comics! As I mentioned before, I was not able to post at our usual time last week, as I was on a plane and therefore was unable to be at a comic shop. After a spell, I ended up deciding to just wait until this week for a few reasons, the main one being that this gives me an opportunity to have the DC Rebirth 80 page one-shot as well as some of the new Rebirth issues in the same post. So not only will we get the big issue, we'll be seeing the aftermath too.

Just a heads up, I probably won't be covering EVERYTHING as I usually do (I don't want this to get too long), so I'll probably skip over the issues I had less to say about. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the Rebirth edition of this week's Weekly Pull List, starting with the big one...

Movie Review: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  The long-awaited follow-up to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, and the second chapter in the new DC Cinematic Universe (also known as the DC Extended Universe).  This film has been getting destroyed by critics since before its wide release, and some of these criticisms are not unfounded, but overall, I truly enjoyed this film in almost every possible way.  It was visually breathtaking and had an amazing score by the talented Hans Zimmer.  It also had some huge balls, pulling off things I never thought would be done, especially the ending.

'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Trailer Review

Holy Sh#%!

That was my initial reaction to watching the brand new, 3-minute full trailer for DC's highly anticipated film, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and it continues to be my reaction after each subsequent viewing.
