Trench reviews Justice League: Doom
As you should probably know by now I am a huge fan of the DC Animated movies. To me, Bruce Timm and company can do no wrong. However, I was a little disappointed in Justice League: Doom. First off it’s based on the comic JLA: Tower of Babel which I have not read so I…

Trench’s Bad Juju pick for Super Bowl XLVI
It’s called my bad juju pick because for over a decade I picked nothing but losers. However, in the past few years, I’ve been on quite the streak. Now, remember this is about who I want to win the Super Bowl, not necessarily who I think is going to win it. This upcoming Super Bowl…

Review of Green Lantern: The Animated Series
By now you should know that I’m a Green Lantern fanboy. I even own a Green Lantern ring. So it should come as no surprise that I like this cartoon. The premise is that Hal Jordan and Kilowog are stuck in the outer reaches of space taking on the Red Lanterns by themselves. The fact…

Review of Th1rt3en by Megadeth
Just like I said about Iced Earth’s Jon Schaffer, Dave Mustaine is a conspiracy theorist and ego-maniacal prick but he’s also a musical genius. However, that did not translate well on Megadeth’s new album Th1rt3en. While Dave’s conspiracy-minded lyrics were great on United Abominations it was annoying on Endgame and just downright boring on Th1rt3en.…

Review of Captain America: The First Avenger
So far this was the best on-screen adaptation for Captain America. I know that’s not saying much but still. All in all, it was ok. I liked the new take on the Cap/Bucky relationship with Bucky being the mentor instead of Cap. My main concern with this movie is that just about the entire cast…

Review of Dystopia by Iced Earth
I’ve said before that Jon Schaffer is a conspiracy theorist and ego-maniacal prick but he’s also a musical genius in my opinion. I was a little apprehensive to hear this album because I know nothing of new vocalist Stu Block. I was a huge fan of Matt Barlow and an even bigger fan of Tim…

Review of Batman: Year One DVD
It’s been a while since I read Year One. I probably haven’t read it since shortly after it came out however I’m sure this is still pretty faithful to the comic since the DC Animated series of movies are either as good or in some cases better than the comics. I really think they should…

Review of Thor
Marvel keeps surprising me with their film adaptations considering how they dropped the ball with the Spider-Man franchise. Marvel seems to do a better job with casting unknowns in iconic roles than DC does with casting name actors. Granted Anthony Hopkins is not exactly an unknown but outside of Hopkins and Natalie Portman I was…

Review of X-Men First Class
When I saw Green Lantern I thought that this was how superhero movies should be made. I now stand corrected. X-Men First Class is the epitome of superhero movies. The funny thing is I’m a Green Lantern fanboy and I was burned out on the X-Men in the early 90s. Having said that this was…
