| | Posted: | | | | Weekend Movie Marathon Animated Superhero MoviesI recently gotten the urge to watch all my animated Superhero movies. Whether they are DC or Marvel... I would like to attempt to watch all 19 Animated features I have in my collection. I know this sounds like a lot... but considering these movies are rather short (usually less then an hour and a half each)... I think it is possible. Matter of fact between each movie I plan on watching a Superman short from this set...  The New Adventures of SupermanOriginally produced by Filmation Associates, this animated Superman was among the first Saturday morning cartoon shows showcasing the adventures of a Super Hero. In each suspenseful, action-packed six-minute caper, Superman defeats out-of-this-world dangers like mermen living beneath the Earth's core, energy controlling aliens and time-traveling magicians. Favorite villains the Toyman, Brainiac and archnemesis Lex Luthor also challenge the Man of Steel, but he doles out justice with the simple mantra " This is a job for Superman™." These 36 episodes of retro fun will make younger and older spirits soar! The movies I will be attempting to watch this weekend... - Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - The Batman vs. Dracula - The Batman Superman Movie - Batman: Gotham Knights - Batman: Mask of the Phantasm - Doctor Strange - Green Lantern: First Flight - Hulk vs. Thor - Hulk vs. Wolverine - The Invincible Iron Man - Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths - Justice League: The New Frontier - Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow - Superman Batman: Public Enemies - Superman: Doomsday - Superman: Brainiac Attacks - Ultimate Avengers: The Movie - Ultimate Avengers 2: Rise of the Panther - Wonder Woman So that is 19 movies and 18 shorts I will be attempting to watch between Friday and Sunday. Not necessarily in the above order. Will I be able to do it?... only time will tell. Lets just hope real life don't get in the way this weekend! | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Looks really good to me (but you should have expected me to say that.) (I noticed while going through a database update yesterday that you already bought Zeta Project. That was fast! You just can't stand to think about a DVD without getting it, can you?  ) | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
He who MUST get the last word in on a pointless, endless argument doesn't win. It makes him the bigger jerk. |

What's your favorite DC Universe superhero and what's your favorite Marvel superhero? Ohhh... lets see... DC it really is a toss-up has to be between Batman and Superman. As for Marvel... it is Spider-Man all the way! Which is a little weird since I have such a bad case of Arachnophobia! | | | | Pete |

I kinda liked how they find out about each others secret identities. I enjoyed the story on this one. And I am glad I have the movie... even if I already have the episodes that it was made of.

| | Posted: | | | | Superman Short: The Magnetic MonsterA magnetic device that melts metal objects is used by alien beings on Earth. My Thoughts:I really enjoyed watching this short. It really brought back memories of my childhood.... sitting in front of the in my pajamas with a bowl of serial on Saturday mornings. So a nice piece of nostalgia. I even recreated it a little by having myself a bowl of cereal while watching this morning... even if I was sitting in front of a computer instead of a TV (to get vidcap). Even back when this was made... Lois never fails to get herself in trouble. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: The Batman vs Dracula Year: 2005 Director: Michael Goguen Rating: NR Length: 83 Min. Video: Full Frame 1.33:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: N/A Stars:Rino Romano Peter Stormare Tara Strong Tom Kenny Kevin Michael Richardson Alastair Duncan Plot:Gotham City sleeps under the cover of darkness while two legendary bats take flight. One is turning the city into an army of vampires while the other does everything he can to stop the mayhem. But Dracula isn't just like on of the Batman's usual foes: he's got supernatural powers of strength, speed, and mind control. Even with his arsenal of high-tech gadgets, the Dark Knight is still a mortal man. This is the one face-off that could clip the Batman's wings permanently! Also starring favorite characters like the Joker, Penguin, and Vicki Vale, in her first appearance in the series, this feature-length animated movie is fang-tastic. Extras:Bonus Trailers Featurettes Production Notes Closed Captioned My Thoughts: This animated movie was given to me not too long ago. And was my first taste of this version of Batman ( The Batman from Kids WB). I had mixed feelings on how they did the animation for this show... some of the characters I like how they did... others looked a little too different for my taste. I prefer the way Batman looks in The Animated Series... But they did do a good job on both The Joker and Penguin. Speaking of Penguin... he really made the show in this one. He had me literally laugh out loud in more then 1 scene. What I like about this movie is that Batman goes up against real vampires... including of course Dracula. They were a little inconsistent on some of the vampire stuff... like no reflection in the mirror... yet "vampire Joker" had his reflection shown in the test tubes full of blood. But over all... I really enjoyed watching this one. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Superman Short: The Toys of DoomPhoning in an anonymous tip to lure Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Metropolis, Toyman captures Lois and Jimmy to help launch a wave of crime and keep Superman away. My Thoughts:This one is an ok short. ... but nothing all that special. For some reason I never cared too much for the villain "Toyman". So between that... and the fact that these toons are so short (6 to 7min each)... it really didn't have much of a chance to give much of a story. Resulting in this being my least favorite short on this set so far. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | |  Title: Wonder Woman: Two-Disc Special Edition Year: 2008 Director: Lauren Montgomery Rating: PG-13 Length: 74 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital: 5.1 Subtitles: English, French Stars:Keri Russell Nathan Fillion Alfred Molina Rosario Dawson Marg Helgenberger Oliver Platt Plot:On the mystical island of Themyscira, a proud, strong warrior race of Amazon women lives in a utopian civilization shielded from the corrupt world of man. But a betrayal within the Amazon sisterhood leads to the escape of Ares, the God of War, and Amazon Princess Diana must capture him before he unleashes global chaos and destruction. With the aid of cocky fighter pilot Steve Trevor, Diana tracks Ares to the United States for a battle unlike any humankind has ever faced. Alfred Molina, Virginia Madsen, Oliver Platt, Rosario Dawson and David McCallum – infuses thunder and passion into this epic tale of the princess who becomes the World's Greatest Super Heroine. Extras:Audio Commentary Bonus Trailers Featurettes Digital Copy 2 Bonus Cartoons My Thoughts: enjoyed this movie just as much this time as I did the first time I watched it a few months ago. This movie is definitely heavier on the violence as well as some suggestive dialog. So it is not one for the kiddies... but I don't think it is to bad... I would say the teens on up would enjoy this movie. One thing I did find a little on the strange side is that you don't hear the name Wonder Woman till the end of the movie. But that is such a minor thing it doesn't matter in the least. The one problem I did have with this movie... and is true about all the animated super hero movies I have seen... is the short run time. My Rating: 4/5 | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | A2DVD - Don't know how I missed the UA 1&2 - thought it was odd to have young Avengers and not that.
Most of the Animated movies tend to run a bit short.
I like that they are doing a great job taking the good story arcs and mini series and turning them into movies.
I would love to see them do Green Arrow stories Long Bow Hunter and Shado.
I look forward to your reviews on the rest of these :D

| | Posted: | | | | While I am going to still try to get several more watched this weekend... thanks to my idiotic brother there is no way I will get to them all.
The night before last my idiotic, hard-headed, stupid brother broke his foot. To the point of a small bone sticking out of the top of his foot. And the idiot refuses to go to the hospital! He somehow managed to push the bone back in... so he thinks he can wrap it and let it heal as it is. Hopefully with some more convincing we can change his mind. But either way... whether I have a complete idiot for a brother that just will not listen... or if we end up spending half the day at the hospital... I really doubt there is any way of getting ALL of them watched. Though I will do all I can! | | | | Pete |

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Region 1 Released: 10/24/2000 Full Frame 1.33 It don't say anything about being uncut and the running time is listed at 76min long. So I am guessing it is the cut version? | | | | Pete |
