In an era where nearly everyone suffers from superhero fatigue, did we really need this installment in the Batman franchise?

Why I Loved Black Panther
Black Panther is more than a superhero movie - it's a movement.
Suicide Squad Sucked [No Spoilers]
"FUCK YOU, MARVEL," announced overconfident Suicide Squad writer/director David Ayer at the movie's world premiere in New York earlier this week. He's now eating his words.
The New Dredd
The first film adaptation of Judge Dredd, a British comic book set in a dystopian wasteland, is described on Wikipedia as "a critical and commercial disappointment." If you appreciate a high body count, Rob Schneider's comic relief, and cyborg cannibal mutants (plus that air of gravitas a Max Von Sydow cameo affords), as I do, you might find… Continue reading The New Dredd
Link Roundup: The Amazing Spider-man

That made the suspension of disbelief, which is standard for a typical… Continue reading Link Roundup: The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rustles My Jimmies
I'm sure I'll be in the minority on this based on a preliminary review of "OMG BATMAN!!!" Facebook statuses, but in a word: disappointing. ***SPOILERS FOLLOW!*** In a few more words: devoid of logic, plodding, pretentious. The Dark Knight took itself seriously, and it worked; but Heath Ledger's Joker wasn't a cartoon character, he was… Continue reading The Dark Knight Rustles My Jimmies
