Truth in Cinema

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Nathan

Wonder Woman 1984 – I know this movie didn’t do so well at the box office. That might be partially because of COVID, but it definitely had some problems. I’d heard some stuff about Gal Gadot being anti-Palestinian, which is … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on June 8, 2017 by Nathan

Wonder Woman – I hadn’t seen any of the last few movies based on DC Comics (I don’t think I have since the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy), and I hadn’t heard good things about them. I got the impression they … Continue reading →
