Justice League - Micro Review


Hello folks!  Shawn here.  Stepping into the basement, as needed, to add to the chaos that has befallen Justice League.

While Jason and I will be forever divided by DC/Marvel - that isn't a bad thing.  Keeps it interesting.  It's the same with Star Trek/Star Wars...I can appreciate both, but have my favorites.  Subjectivity is divine!

I've loved all things Marvel.  I've loved all things DC.  Perspective is key.

Justice League does not deserve the negativity floating around about it.  People aren't seeing it, just because of the negative reviews.  I call BULLSHIT.

This movie is every bit as good as any Marvel beginning! The best part is, it can compete!  As a comic book nerd (who hates to read), how could I not lap up every second of every comic adapted movie!? 

Wanna bitch about CGI? You forget what you are watching? haha. Wanna bitch about "tones" and depth of character? - Forget what you are watching?  The foundation is set.  All anyone can ask for.

Justice League kicked ass.  If you turn your sheople oriented pretentiousness off, it will kick your ass, too. You just have to let it.

I have YEARS of my life invested in comics, cartoons etc.  Nerd? yes.  Satisfied?  Yes.  Keep an open mind and remember, these are comic books - that you don't have to read or turn the pages to! haha. Live action! Debate the fun and important stuff like:  Who would win a fist fight, Superman or Hulk?  haha.  I can't wait for what is to come.  Hope you can't either!!

#CocktailHour: Slushtail

  Summer approaches, inspiring thoughts of sunshine, backyard parties, and having a tip and sip with friends.  With that in mind, I bring you this week sunny beverage. To make a slushtail, mix a can of frozen orange juice, a can of frozen lemonade (or limeade), a can of pineapple juice, a couple cups of black tea (or English Breakfast), and two cups of bourbon- such as Southern Comfort, in a pitcher.  When it's all nicely mixed, put it in the freezer until it's a nice slushy consistency. Scoop the slush into a cocktail glass, and pour in some Sprite or 7-Up.  Add a little umbrella for some frivolous fun, and a straw. Voila!  Ready to enjoy. This is a very refreshing drink.  The fruit juices, Sprite, and bourbon- when chilled makes for a great punch-like drink.  The bourbon doesn't overwhelm juices.   In fact, they are all nicely balanced in terms of flavors.  The sourness of the citrus fruits contrasts well with the slightly sweeter Southern Comfort.  It was refreshing enou

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ".  I know I remember them.  This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present.  With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good.  It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters.  This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's.  In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking.  I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e
