How Batman: Soul of the Dragon Successfully Sidelined The Dark Knight
As an extremely avid fan of DC’s animation, I’ve become familiar with the way the studio uses Batman as a bit of a Trojan Horse to introduce some of their lesser known characters.

REPAIRS AND MALFUNCTIONS is an independent thriller, created by August MacDonald. Two young modem repairmen, Harvey and Isaac, arrive at the house of a new customer, a gruff yet charming middle-aged man. Once they arrive, the Man convinces the two to stay longer than they should with the promise of drugs and alcohol. Over the course of their ill-timed hangout, the Man's true nature begins to seep through his charming facade. But by the time they realize, it may be too late.

It’s a cool looking Marvel character right off the page! He’s got these glowing eyes and he just kicks ass everywhere he goes, seemingly impervious to pain.
Remember when there was this amazing comedy titled "National Lampoon's Vacation"? To this day, it is a true classic of the genre and certainly put a new spin on precisely what KINDS of insanity could occur when taking the fam on the road. Then, like with so many successful films, there was the sequel (which for me was even MORE of a classic than the original!). However, the third film emerged....and then a fourth. Suddenly, the luster was gone and disappointment set in.
I write for a diversity-focused film review blog, so I’ll be honest: I really wanted to like Pretty Lethal. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Iris Apatow, Avantika, and Millicent Simmonds, Amazon Prime’s new thriller seemed like it would be a girl power movie about dancers with a horror action twist. Sort of a Suspiria for teens. But with shallow and unlikeable characters, a confusing plot, an overreliance on violence, and cringey dialogue, any fun the movie started out with was quickly lost. What was left was a faint echo of greater horror movies about dancers made before.
'A Wrinkle In Time' combines fantasy and science fiction to bring the classic story to life.
