Well, there's something to be said for lowered expectations. I saw BvS this afternoon, and it wasn't the utter steaming pile that the bulk of the reviews led me to believe. It does look like it was edited by a toddler with ADHD, but the underlying story mostly holds together even if motivations are opaque for a couple of characters. And I thought all the performances made the best of the mediocre writing they had to work with, excepting Jesse Eisenberg's which was just as tic-filled and nonsensical as everyone's been saying. Of particular interest to me were the facts that Clark/Superman was not as relentlessly scowly and brooding as people said (although the movie never allowed him to speak in his own defense), and that Batman's paranoid hostility was clearly shown to be an overreaction born out of his own trauma and not the high moral ground.

I have spoilery questions I'd like answered about BvS: Do B and S actually fight? Who wins? Is WW in the movie for more than 10 seconds? Does she beat the crap out of any fools? Thank you. That's all I really care about!

Zen, they actually fight; Batman wins thanks to judicious use of Kryptonite; Wonder Woman is probably in the movie more than Lois or Alfred; and while I wouldn't say she beats the crap out of any fools, I think you will find what she does do satisfyingly awesome.

Thanks, Matt! Good to know.

From the Department of WOW-thats-amazing-typecasting:

Anya Taylor-Joy, the lead of The Witch, has just been cast in the New Mutants movie....

as Illyana Rasputin.

Guess she's not afraid of being typecast?

Enjoy capsule movie reviews of Hellraiser, Exam, Talvar, Star Trek: Generations; As Above, So Below; Star Trek: First Contact, The Final Girls, Rocky, Spy, Inside Llewyn Davis, What We Do in the Shadows, Meet the Patels, Trainwreck, Advantageous, Tomorrowland, and The Big Short.

You know there's going to be a sequel to What We Do in the Shadows, right? Title? We're Wolves. Yaaaaasss.

We're Werewolves, not Swear-wolves.

Can't wait!
