If your after a new release recomendation for this week I cant recomend Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles highly enough. Not only does it look really nice the action, humour and character portrayals are spot on too. Its also dark enough for adults and fun enough for kids making it one totally bodacious cross over dude.

A superhero staple
There are so many great things about Tim Burton's batman. It's the first real dark take on a superhero movie and revived the genre for years to come. Keaton to this day is still the best Bruce Wayne and Princes soundtrack is nothing short of iconic.

Melanie Griffith’s character is the real hero in this one. I kept expecting a twist, but there really wasn’t much of a surprise ending. Billed as an “upscale horror movie,” and I can see why, for those of us over 25. Oooooohhhhh, my credit! Real-world nightmare scenario.

Part 2
This is still a great part, the ending is really good. I would highly reccordmend the comic book and also this film.


The Plot: Batman comes out of retirement and gets help from a teenage sidekick. He faces off against the Joker and Two-Face before a battle to the death begins against Superman.

This was an interesting story for the Justice League crew. They are all being targeted and picked off, one by one. The killers are picking things that would hit each of theme where it hurts, knowing how to take them down with one hit. How do they do this? Batman.

This showcases Batman's need to know all of the ways his team mates work, and know how to ruin them. Though he claims it's for the good of the people, I think it's because he is insecure in his own lack of powers surrounded by people who are stronger than him.

All in all, this was an interesting comic and I think I need to read more about the flaws of Batman. If you have any recommendations, let me know!

The second set of New-52 Batman 'Owls' stories (after [b:Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls|13223349|Batman, Vol. 1 The Court of Owls|Scott Snyder|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342307351s/13223349.jpg|18412501], this is a more a collection of (Court of) Owl-related, stories rather than a direct continuation of the story in that previous collection. Well, that is, after the first entry or so, that sees the Court's undead assassin's (or Talon's) attacking Wayne Manor ...

As expected, and as a compilation, some of the stories contained herein are better than others: it's also interesting to see a different take on some of the villain and previously side-characters than, perhaps, they had been given before - I'm thinking, in particular, of Alfred Pennyworth, and of Viktor Fries.

Look at this Photograph
8mm- is a underrated mystery thriller, it was directed by Joel Schumacher, yes the person who destoryed and ruined batman two years before this movie came out. Joel Schumacher is better with mysterious and thrillers than Batman. Anyways the plot:

Private detective Tom Welles (Nicolas Cage) lives a normal life with his wife (Catherine Keener) and young daughter, until he receives a startling new case. A widow named Mrs. Christian (Myra Carter) has found what appears to be a snuff film among her late husband's belongings, and she wants Welles to determine if the movie is real or fake. Welles heads to California, where a video store employee (Joaquin Phoenix) helps him infiltrate the dangerous and depraved world of illegal porn movies.

Its suspenseful, horrorfying, twisted and overall a good movie.

This is definitely a hugely underrated film. And one of the few times Nicolas Cage is actually decent!
