I present to you the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Motion Comic, which still hasn’t made a convincing argument for the format but does remind the viewer that this comic series is out there and very much worth reading.

It’s also interesting that the trailer does a little bit of a bait and switch, underselling the nihilism of the movie.

I’m kind of still in “like” with the movie to this day, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the subject of my next piece, 1992’s Batman Returns.

It was one of those movies I watch with my finger pressed on the fast-forward button.

The show mixes anthropology, crytozoology, and creature design to ask what if creatures of myth and legend really existed.

You can get in a full round of cultural archaeology with this movie if you’re willing to take the time. It reflects interesting (if outdated) thoughts on crime and criminals, and the role of law enforcement.

I’m reading here and there that Scott Pilgrim will be a generational movie, but I’m not so sure.

The problems with the movie are again, multifaceted. Many of them are based in the movie’s failure to expand its scope beyond one-on-one dustups between mirror images.

Today we'll be looking at the film that turned around Marvel's cinematic fortunes, brought Hong Kong-style action (back) into the mainstream in a big way, and kept Stephen Dorff off the streets for another few months.

Think of a more earnest and frankly sexual The Fifth Element and you have a sense of the final product.

The plot is pretty frail, borrowing heavily from Mad Max. But the real purpose of this movie is to serve as a "greatest hits" for the series, showcasing fight scene after artery-busting fight scene.

Let me see if I can make sense of what I just said there: the tension-building aspects work so well because Dougherty establishes early on that his cast can bite it at any time (even little kids).

From the first sequence, director Higuchinsky lets us know the reality of our situation is not OUR reality.

And I credit this movie with not only making me a devout horror fan, but possibly a more dedicated fan of films in general.

I’m tempted to say that this is targeted to kids and give it a pass on those merits, but that would be a slight to younger viewers who could be exploring richer DC productions from the back catalogue like JL:U or Batman: The Animated Series.

If you haven't seen it before, I'd recommend checking thjis movie out, even if only for the costumes and the soundtrack. But dig a little deeper and you might find a genuinely enjoyable movie at its core.

Even in his delusion he's only able to execute practical feats that combined common sense, observation, and willingness to punish one's body would allow.
