MOVIE ITSELF

Think of Rocky, but for kids, that’s what you get in Disney’s Real Steel. Hugh Jackman plays a loser father who is unwilling to take care of his child. But, the boy (Max) has to stay with his father temporarily while his adopted parents goes on vacation. It isn’t very hard to figure out where the story goes.

The film utilizes its CG very well, the robots fighting each other looks amazingly good. There is no real emotional content in the film, not for us adults anyways. But, this is a Disney production, and kids will more likely enjoy …

13 Assassins is a great samurai film about a group of assassins who get together to take out the brutal and homicidal son of the former shogun.  The film is directed by Takashi Miike who brought us the two horror masterpieces Ichi the Killer and Audition.  It also stars Koji Yakusho (Babel, Memoirs of a Geisha) and the ultra-cool Takayuki Yamada (Gantz). 

A samurai film might on the surface appear to be outside of Miike’s area of expertise, however, he proves himself to be very adept at pulling off something of this magnitude. While the samurai genre differs …

London Below. Never heard of it?

Neither have I but in Neil Gaiman’s 1996 BBC TV show, Neverwhere, it’s a place fellow nerds would enjoy.  London Below has monsters, angels and old school figures dating back from the Roman Empire.  The story is about Richard Mayhew, who lives in what we know today as London.  He helps out a girl named Door and finds out she lives in the streets below London.  Door introduces Mayhew to the new world and it just gets weirder for him.  His fiance and friends can’t recognize him anymore.  Those aren’t his only problems.  He also …

Young Justice is a 30 minute show on the cartoon network focusing on DC’s teenage superheroes.  The show is developed by Greg Weisman (Gargoyles) and Brandon Vietti (Batman: Under The Red Hood), so it’s no surprise that it’s exciting and unique.  The young superheroes (Aqualad, Robin, Superboy, Artemis, Kid Flash & Miss Martian) are usually assigned a task to help  their older counterpart (ie Batman, Superman) battle the bad guys.  The show is great because it mixes teenage drama (parents, having a crush) with enough action to balance out an emotion filled episode. 

Below are the episodes:

Vol. 4 covers the last 7 episodes of the 1st season’s Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.  The show doesn’t have the most exciting animation and voice acting but the stories were pretty good, especially the final story arc.  In terms of style, I’d compare it to the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon on Fox only this has Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Panther, Hulk and the rest of the Avengers.  The show is very bright and colorful with one-liners every minute or so. 

Below are the episodes:

Casket of Ancient Winters –  The team faces ice creatures.  I didn’t enjoy this episode because there …
