The Hero We Need Right Now, the Documentary We Deserve
Remember Batkid? Of course you do, how could you forget something so adorable? Well if you did forget, there’s a new documentary to look forward to!
It’s days like these when I rue the fact that I don’t live in ‘select cities’. Maybe this’ll come to Netflix someday. Or…I dunno. Where does one find documentaries?

6 Thoughts on the Third Season of Arrow
The third season of Arrow came to a dramatic conclusion last week, with Oliver Queen making some pretty major decisions about his life. Season 3 has been a rocky one, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. Arrow is still one of my favorite shows on television and you better believe I can’t wait to watch DC’s TV universe get bigger and better.
So much smoldering sexiness!
I’m no good at reviewing TV shows, especially episode-to-episode. So when a season of one of my favorite superhero TV shows is over, I like to do a roundup like this. You can check out my lists for the first and second seasons of Arrow. As for the third season, like I said, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t as good as the previous season. Could it be because the creative team was split up in order to make The Flash? Who knows!
Join me after the jump to see my thoughts on the third season of Arrow. And feel free to share your own review in the comments below.
Remember the Harry Potter Movies? The Last One was Full of Sin!
Cinema Sins has finally reached the end of the Harry Potter movies with a 2-part blast against The Deathly Hallows. Granted, some of these ‘sins’ are answered in the book, but at least they’re trying. Personally, I recommend watching the Rifftrax of this movie if you can!

The Orcs in Warcraft Are Going to Look Amazing!
I have been a Warcraft fan since the very first strategy game way back in the 90s. And since then, I’ve also been a huge orc fan (For the Horde!). So I have been excited about every bit of news coming out on the upcoming Warcraft movie, because the filmmakers sound determined to make the orcs as compelling in the film as they are in the game.
We can finally see the fruits of their labor with the first really good looks as Orgrim Doomhammer, the lead orc in the movie. Check this guy out!
Warrior born!
The pictures debuted on Wired.
The level of detail is astounding! Warcraft has always had amazing, computer-generated cut scenes. If they can bring that level of detail to the movie, and up its game to cinematic levels, we could be looking at some gorgeous CGI characters.
Here’s a better look at Orgrim.
“Lok’tar ogar!”
That’s actor Robert Kazinsky under that CGI, which they molded to match his face. You may remember him as the angry Jaeger pilot in Pacific Rim.
Everything I’ve seen and heard about the Warcraft movie so far has been amazing. I’ve definitely got my hopes up. You can check out some of the previous reveals here.
