Mortal Engines is Coming Out!
Here’s a movie I hadn’t heard of until this teaser trailer came out today! It’s Mortal Engines! Peter Jackson is involved, though he’s not directing. I think it’s based on a book? Trailer looks pretty crazy, at least.
Yep, this one is definitely on my watch list. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I totally grabbed that $10 a month MoviePass deal a few months back and it has been paying off completely! I’m gonna see a ton of movies in the new year and Mortal Engines is one of them!

Ready Player One is Coming Out!
For some reason, I’m not all that excited about Ready Player One. I never read the book, but the trailers make it look pretty cool. And I’m a pretty big pop culture junkie.
But, eh, I’m just not that hyped for this film. Looks pretty standard, action-wise. But hey, maybe I’ll be delightfully surprised!

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/16/17
Happy Star Wars weekend, everybody! Have you seen The Last Jedi yet? That seems to be the big how-do-you-do around here. I saw it a couple nights ago and enjoyed it, though I have plenty of reservations and nitpicks. I’ll share everything on Wednesday!
For now, how about some enjoyable comics? A lot of my favorites came out this week, from Detective Comics to Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! But, and kind of against my better judgement, I’m going to give Comic Book of the Week to Mister Miracle #5. This comic is such a mind-blower! But damn if it doesn’t get me thinking and enjoying good comics.
Decisions, decisions
I missed reviews last week because I was out-of-state on an awesome vacation. And it’s a real shame, because there were some excellent issues of some of my favorite comics! Both Hawkeye and Iceman were great, as usual, but holy cow, I missed a great issue of Batman! I thought the last few issues starring Catwoman were already amazing, but Tom King’s take on Batman and Superman was mind-blowingly amazing! The issue would have been a perfect 10/10 it was just so much fun to read!
Comic Reviews: Detective Comics #970, Mister Miracle #5, Runaways #4 and Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #27.
Check Out Hawk and Dove!
The awesome Titans costumes just keep coming! We saw Robin a few weeks ago, and it was great. So here’s Hawk and Dove, which also look great!
They look like they mean some kind of business
I am honestly kind of excited for this show now. I didn’t have much faith in it ever happening — because sometimes I still can’t believe that we live in a world of awesome, live action superhero everything — but now I can’t wait to see this show in action!

Honestly? I like the Ewoks
I will defend Ewoks until my final breath. In fact, I already did it once two years ago when The Force Awakens came out. But hey, here’s the Honest Trailer about Return of the Jedi!
I went and saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi last night and I liked it well enough. I liked it to the degree that I like all modern Star Wars movies. It’s fun and energetic, with a lot to love. But…I have complaints, and nitpicks, and stuff that just knocks the movie down a couple notches for me. I’ll share all of those next Wednesday in my List of Six review! So stay tuned.
