Superman and Batman: Public Enemies (Graphic Novel)
Superman and Batman: Public Enemies is a graphic novel adaptation of an animated film. I haven't seen the film yet, but I picked up the book at Goodwill, and it was in surprisingly good condition. The artwork was dark and swirly, sometimes hard for the eye to take in, or discern exactly what was going on, panel for panel (and the artwork often broke free here and splashed across the page). No one in the comics industry seemingly thought about the plight of the nearsighted when creating their books; at least not in this era, and they really should have. All of their fans are bespectacled, pre-diabetic Simpsons characters who opine that this, that, and the third is the "Worst [fill in the blank] ever!"

Godzilla Minus One
So we went to see Godzilla Minus One. Now this was my first Godzilla movie ever, I was going in with absolutely no context or history. I went into this movie the same way I’m sure a lot of Americans did, ready for a monster movie. The trailer also kind of hyped up that angle. So I went in ready to watch Godzilla tear some shit up. What I was not ready for was a heartfelt story about a man finding the will to live, commentary on survivor's guilt and the devastations of war and the power of forgiveness.

"Singin' in the Rain: A Timeless Classic That Continues to Captivate Audiences"
"Singin' in the Rain" is a timeless classic that has captivated audiences for decades with its infectious energy, captivating performances, and memorable musical numbers. As a fan of the film, I can't help but be drawn to its charm and the way it transports me to the golden age of Hollywood. The movie's ability to blend humor, romance, and dazzling dance sequences is a testament to its enduring appeal.

My Review of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny"
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the latest Indiana Jones adventure that was released in 2023. Yes, you heard that right it came out in 2023. I didn't think we'd get another one when the last one was supposed to be the last. I guess you can never say never.

My Review of "Spider-Man (2002)"
Spider-Man (2002) kicked off a long line-up of superhero movies. I remember it ushering in another superhero renaissance. Though I see the groundwork from older superhero movies in this movie as well. Back when this first came out it was such a revelation. Watching this again over 20 years later still gives me great enjoyment and a resurgence of old memories.

Dream Scenario
Okay so Nicholas Cage has a new movie out. Now at this point we should know that I am not a Nicholas Cage fan. I think 90% of his filmography is absolute garbage and that he is one of the most overrated, below mediocre actors of all time. On the other hand this latest film, Dream Scenario, is also a product of A24. And they have only disappointed me once, their track record is fantastic. So we are combining one of my all time favorite sources of films with one of the things I hate the most about film. So here is my full review of Dream Scenario.

My Review of "Genie"
Genie is one of the many Christmas holiday releases on Amazon Prime in 2023. It looked pretty lighthearted and easy to get into so I decided to take the plunge. I am glad that I did because this is one of the most wholesome holiday releases this year that I've seen.

Reviewing a Pair of Villainesses from "Echo Base"
Tubi has really been bringing it this year with their original films, and the villainesses who have graced them. It reached a point last year where I included Tubi in my year-end list, and this year, well, Tubi's turned it up. Among such amazing films from Tubi this year is the action-packed sci-fi thriller, Echo Base, which begins with an apparent attack on London, with Capt. Skylar Reagan and her partner, Lt. Malik Wheeler, needing to act fast on this mission. However, it's quickly revealed as a simulation, and it went sideways because the pair were at odds regarding what they needed to do.
