Movie Recommendation: Sovereign
Look at me, watching a movie that’s not animated or about superheroes. Growth and shit! So, let’s talk about Sovereign, a serious film with a serious subject, but one that still managed to hook me, despite the lack of capes or explosions. If you’re not familiar with the Sovereign Citizen movement, here’s the short version:…

Trench reviews Justice League Dark: Apokolips War
It’s been a while since I reviewed a DC Animated movie. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been watching them. I’ve always found most of the DC Animated movies to be better than a lot of the live-action movies. For example, I’d much rather watch the animated Under the Red Hood than The Dark Knight…

Trench reviews Batman: The Killing Joke
Normally I don’t review things that are bad. I don’t believe in spreading negativity about a project that a creative team probably poured their hearts and souls into.

Review of Green Lantern
Yesterday I caught Green Lantern at the theater and I liked it. Then again I’m biased as GL is one of my favorite superheroes. I felt like this is the movie that Superman Returns should have been as in an epic battle with a powerful evil foe and not what was basically a chick flick.…

Review of All Star Superman DVD
Let me preface this by saying I was not a fan of the All-Star Superman series of comics. I personally thought that it highlighted everything that has been wrong with the Superman franchise in the last 70 years. With that in mind, I was not happy to hear that the latest release in the series…

Review of Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam
When I was a little kid I loved Superman. I watched the old black and white TV shows and all the cartoons. I wanted to be Superman so bad. Then one day while someone from my family was in the hospital I saw a comic book in the hospital gift shop. It was called Shazam…
