Pride And Prejudice And Zombie Versus A Very Michael Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Trailer Showdown!

It is official, I think horror and period romance should always go together.  After Crimson Peak, I am so ready for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and it is coming out around Valentines Day!  It looks like the perfect date movie, or anti-date movie.  So it is a great movie for both the loved and the lonely!  A Valentines day miracle.

Next up might be the most Michael Bay thing I have seen in awhile, and I have seen Transformers 4.  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 isn’t even directed by him, but his fingerprints are all over it.  Here is the trailer for your viewing pleasure:

Just when the trailer kind of looks good, they Bay it up.  This movie is going to make sooo much money, and I am going to cry myself to sleep.

Clearly Pride and Prejudice and Zombies looks like the better film, but TMNT2 will no doubt make more cash, and that is a crime.

We Live In World Where Martian Manhunter Is On Prime Time TV!

I can only hope that if they are brave enough to put J’onn J’onzz on TV that he will show up in the DC Movie universe as well.  I for one never thought I would be around to see a live action version of the Martian Manhunter, but the Golden Age of superhero TV has proved me wrong, and I am very happy!  I can’t wait for the eventual J’onn J’onzz/Kara Danvers team-up.  It is going to have to be a very major threat, but I am sure they will think of something.

Netflix Wishes You A Very Murray Christmas!

A-Very-Murray-Christmas

Leave it to Netflix to do something a little different for their Christmas special.  Sure they got Bill Murray to sing songs with his famous friends, but Sofia Coppola and company still managed to create something odd and interesting, if not always funny, and I am always in the mood for odd and interesting.

The hour long flick features Bill Murray trying to put on a live televised show in New York in the middle of a blizzard, and of course things do not go well.  None of his guests show up, with the exception of Paul Schaffer, and he is only saved by the power going out, so that way his insurance will cover the cost of the production.  After that he is free to mingle and sing with the various people residing in the Carlyle Hotel.

I could watch Bill Murray meander around singing and trading barbs with random people all day.  He is enormously watchable.  If this was that start of a weekly TV show I would be ecstatic, but as a one off special, it was fun, but not something I would watch year after year.  Maybe they could just do a new one every year?!  Please make a new one every year!  We could see what natural disaster Bill’s show has to suffer through next time.  That would be fun.

Regardless of what happens, A Very Murray Christmas was an amusing way to spend an hour.  It is not a classic, but a tasty little Christmas treat.  Unfortunately its language is a little salty at times, so you may have to wait for the tots to go to bed before you partake, but with all the sugar that comes out this time of year, a little salt might be a good thing.  A Very Murray Christmas to you all!

Is Gotham About Owlman?!

gotham

So this post will have some really minor spoilers about the mid-season finale of Gotham, but I have come to a conclusion.  Gotham is about Owlman.  Never heard of Owlman?  That is not too surprising.  He is minor supervillain, but his claim to fame is that he is the Batman from Earth 3 were all the DC superheroes have their evil doppelgangers.  Like the Mirror Universe from Star Trek.

Gotham has gone off the rails for awhile now, and been much more fun to watch because of it, but there is no way this is the Gotham that Batman grows up in.  I mean James Gordon flat out murders people, and he teams up with villains to murder them.  He is supposed to be the last good cop.  Not one of the ‘not totally evil cops’.  Add to that Bruce Wayne in the mid-season finale said his favorite animal is owls.  That’s right!  They are saying Batman’s favorite animal is an ‘owl’.  Not to mention that Alfred thinks slapping street children is an okay thing to do!

While I am sure that the show runners would say that this is not the case, but it all signs seem to point that way.  I can’t wait for Bruce to done his owl cowl!
