I knew it would happen eventually. I would walk out of a DC movie without feeling the wrinkles on my face forming their own new creases as I tried to think about how it could have been salvaged. Since the travesty of Green Lantern though, this is the best thing Warner Brothers have been able … Continue reading Wonder Woman: The Hero WB Needed
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Far Out Trash Panda
Let me get this out of the way: it’s good, not as great as the first one, while managing to be more character driven. Now… [Minor spoiler warnings] What a ride though.
