Batman V Superman

It is not a bad film, its not great. Like it's predecessor, Man of Steel, I should have liked Batman and Superman, Dawn of Justice a lot more. The problems I argue are these The film tries to do too much. We have Batman fight Superman, and then Superman, Batman and Wonder woman fight Doomsday. Doomsday who killed Superman. The last half hour seems tacked on. DC want to compete with the Avengers. Superman, is an Alien who may set  himself up as a God. Yet Diana who was a Goddess gets a pass. Diana who felt free to intervene in human history in WW1 Afleck is not bad. Though he looks odd, dressed as Batman Jeremy Irons is a professional The film takes shots at the declining power of the printed press. A cynical liberal editor bemoaning the death of the Kennedy's and King. The film does not treat Authors silicon valley Billionaire as the same way. The candy, the t shirts, the shoes are all affectations boys Surely Luthor and Batman/Wayne are the same character, just wi...

Fresh Meat

I am waiting for a download at work. I should have gone home, but I do not have the money Anyway. I ignored this  program when I was living over the hills and across the sea. There was something about the promotional video, that irked me. I should have listened to that Kiwi Oh my god, I was wrong. The opening scene, when Vod, walks into the student house and sees Howard stark bollock naked, took me back to my days in university. No not the nudity, though the series flirts a bit with that. We see a flash of boobs for example. I wonder if someone had an eye on the teens and tits market. There are backsides and possibly testicles on display Vod, and it seems to have been a breakout role for Zawe Aston annoyed me at first. I could not decide wether her accent was fake. I wondered if this was a deliberate act by the actress One meets mockneys a plenty in university. I also found her behavior annoying. Now I realize that is intentional. Howard brought me back to the heady days of...

Agent Carter

I did see the Captain America movie. I think I watched it in passing on a plane. I  remembered the villains rather then the heroes. I have been trying to watch Daredevil on Netflix. I am not really getting into it. As Jessica Jones is perhaps a bit too adult for my house hold, I decided to give Agent Carter a try Actually its quite good. Alias meets Madmen. One the dialogue. I must congratulate Ms Haley, anyone who can advise someone to ``go tell it to the marines''  and sell it, is a fine actress. This is what I like about the series, the past is clearly  shown as a foreign country. People may watch movies, eat in cafes and drive cars to work. Actresses are still working as waitresses looking for that break.  Its a different world. Our heroine resides at a women's only hotel, A minor plot point shows a young lady being evicted from her digs, because she was caught with a man after hours, The shroud of Captain America, lies heavy on the show. We meet up with C...
