He’s one fly guy! Despite some questionable and rather cheap special effects, 1948’s Superman is a very enjoyable serial. It starts with the story of Kal-El’s exodus from his home planet of Krypton just prior to its destruction. The first three chapters establish him as both Clark Kent and Superman on Earth. From there, weContinue reading “Superman (1948)”

LEGO DC Minifigs
Series 16 I’m not a huge collector of LEGO products. My son is completely infatuated with them, though, and I enjoy watching and/or helping him build his many sets. I do enjoy looking at many of the minifigures that come with the sets and those that can be purchased individually. One minifigure collection that caughtContinue reading “LEGO DC Minifigs”
Super News From SDCC
Superman Returns….Again! I normally avoid mentioning much of anything about San Diego Comic Con in my blog because there is so much hype and noise about the event that I am pretty sure that anything I say has been covered a hundred times over already. Saying that, I just had to pop in and mentionContinue reading “Super News From SDCC”
A Super Partnership?
At Your Local Walmart Love it or hate it, you can’t deny the reach of Walmart. While I personally tend to do most of my retail shopping at Target or other stores, sometimes a trip to Walmart is unavoidable. Starting last year, DC Comics gave me one more reason to risk life and limb downContinue reading “A Super Partnership?”
Slow Burner
Brightburn, KS I saw Brightburn a couple of weekends ago. It has a very small cast, a very simple plot, and does a decent job of telling its story. The basic premise of the film is that young Brandon Breyer has been the perfect child for his parents, Tori and Kyle, but after hitting twelveContinue reading “Slow Burner”
Avengers: Endgame Review
Eleven Years And Twenty-One Films Eleven years and twenty-one films all come to a head in Avengers: Endgame. Does the movie live up to they hype? To a degree, yes, but it is far from a perfect film. No spoilers ahead unless you’ve missed some of the previous films. This film picks up a fewContinue reading “Avengers: Endgame Review”
Sorry, Gang!
Where The Heck Have I Been???? I’ve been missing in action for a little while now and I just wanted to drop in to say that I’m sorry for not making any recent posts. I’ve been battling writer’s block and a few other more personal issues that have kept me away from my blog. IContinue reading “Sorry, Gang!”
Shazam! Lights Up The Big Screen
Just Say The Word Some superheroes are instantly recognized by most members of society. The general public can quickly point out Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk, but beyond these sacred few (and prior to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe), most comic book characters are known only by comic bookContinue reading “Shazam! Lights Up The Big Screen”
Doom Patrol Episode #8
Danny Patrol In what is quite possibly the happiest episode of the season so far, Doom Patrol finally manages to put a smile on Larry’s face. All of the characters have progressed to some point over the season, but Larry/Negative Man (Matt Bomer, Matthew Zuk) has basically been fighting the same demons the entire time.Continue reading “Doom Patrol Episode #8”
Doom Patrol Episode #7
Therapy Patrol The seventh episode of Doom Patrol shifts the focus away from the search for the Chief and plants it squarely on the individual members of the group. It opens up with Cyborg making the rounds, waking everyone up and telling everyone that a group meeting will take place in fifteen minutes. After thirtyContinue reading “Doom Patrol Episode #7”
