Here we go again. More than two decades after the original movie thrilled audiences and terrified most of the kids in America, we’re going back to an island populated by extinct species. Continue reading Jurassic World Trailer: Maybe The JP Scientists Should Just Stop…

Gotham: Gordon vs Black Mask, Batman vs Hush, and the Arrival of Two-Face
Gotham is doing a lot of things right.
The oft-criticized FOX show that looks at a Gotham before Batman has been making strides in recent weeks. The writing has picked up, the villains are better, and they are making Harvey Bullock into an actual person rather than just the walking personification of a bad cop. Bullock made real strides in Penguin’s Umbrella, the seventh episode of the first season. During said episode, in a scene that felt ripped right from High Noon, our hero is totally deserted by his brothers-in-blue and left to stave off assassination from Falcone’s number one hitter – Victor Zsasz.

Suicide Squad: Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn? A-List Cast May Follow…
When the Suicide Squad movie was first talked about, general consensus was that it was be a lower-tier filler type of film for DC to sandwich between Justice League chapters. A chance to expand on the DC Cinematic Universe, introducing some smaller characters with a mid-range price tag. Now though, if the rumors are true, there doesn’t seem to be anything pointing at them keeping the budget down on this one.

Gotham: The Spirit of the Goat and the Soul of Harvey Bullock
I said it before and I’ll say it again – this show is getting better.
Gotham‘s sixth episode finally gave us a little characterization to Harvey Bullock that wasn’t so one-dimensional. It supplied us with a solid, if not totally Gotham-esqe villain, and we got just enough of the Wayne stuff to not feel forced. Once again, and by a larger margin this time, best episode yet.

John Wick: A Review of Revenge Incarnate
John Wick is the revenge movie we all hoped it would be. Straight forward without distraction of unneeded twist, nor neutered to avoid the ®. The action choreography flows with the soundtrack. The cars are classic, the women are fast, the fights are brutal, and feel is…familiar- in a comforting way. Twinges of 1970s grit and old school code combine with a rapidly paced 101-minute orchestra of ‘cool.’ 1994, 1999, and now 2014. Welcome back Keanu.
Gotham: Fox Orders More Episodes and Casts Fan Favorite
Gotham is getting better – the show at least, not so much the city.
As the weeks pass and Gotham improves, we see characters start to fall into their places a bit more evenly. After the fifth episode – titled Viper – we saw Edward Nigma actually appear to serve a purpose at the precinct. Sal Maroni shed his jolly gangster look for a more sinister persona. This one more resembling the head of a crime family, though oblivious to threat Cobblepot poses him. And Bruce Wayne, whom I’d been calling for less of, showed glimpses of the drive that will someday steer him into the cape and cowl. The drug story also sets up a later appearance from another major villain, as Viper is the precursor to Bane’s Venom. Overall, the Viper episode was the best we’ve seen thus far, edging out the prior week’s Arkham for that title.
