Posted on October 9, 2019 by Nathan

Joker – SPOILERS! PRETTY MAJOR ONES AT THAT! My wife wanted to see this one, which is perhaps kind of weird considering that I’m the one who’s more into comic-based movies, and that there were rumors it was misogynistic (which … Continue reading →

Posted on June 23, 2019 by Nathan

The Gang’s All Here

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Nathan

Posted on April 11, 2019 by Nathan

Shazam! – SPOILERS! Hey, it’s that movie where Sinbad is a genie! No, seriously, while I can’t say I’m familiar with the comics in which he’s featured, I’ve looked into the history of the character, who was the original Captain … Continue reading →

But Aquaman, You Cannot Marry a Woman Without Gills!

Meeting at the Centre

Posted on December 16, 2017 by Nathan

So, I saw the Justice League movie, but not THAT one. Instead, it was the animated one from 2008, Justice League: The New Frontier, which I put on our Netflix queue years ago. There were several DC animated movies, all … Continue reading →
