JUDGEMENT!: Batman: Under The Red Hood

Do you like Batman? Do you like Batman facing impossible odds? Well, I know I do. Batman: Under The Red Hood is by far one of the best animated films I have seen I quite some time. DC Comics is miles ahead of Marvel in terms of their animated film quality. Not ones to shy away from brutality and blood (and even some saucy language) they have dwarfed Marvel who has more of a “This was okay” or “What the fuck was that?” quality to their animated features.

This film starts off with The Joker reminding you why he is one of the deadliest comic book villains ever created. Don’t forget that this guy is a psychopath. As he laughs and taunts Jason Todd aka Robin 2.0 while beating him nearly to death with a crowbar Batman races to the scene to help. He doesn’t make it and just as Jason Todd gets to the exit he notices all of the explosives The Joker left. Batman finds Jason’s body and buries his “soldier.”

JUDGEMENT!: Unknown

"They had me convinced that I was crazy. But when they came to take me I knew."

I like Mr. Neeson. I like him even more when he’s punching people in the face to get what he wants. Unknown from appearances has the look of a film that could go two ways. Thankfully it went a good way. This movie could have easily been a straight up action film, psychological thriller, or had your attention and then threw a retarded ass twist in the end like most movies do nowadays.

Let me vent about that for a second. A lot of you (the general public) have been duped into thinking a movie with no real ending is an ending. No, I don’t mean like the ending to Inception which is meant to fuck with you. I mean films like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activities which are meant to have you go “Oh, that was better than I thought!” Better than you thought does not mean good and no ending does not mean mysterious. Its lazy writing! Speaking of lazy writing, on to my review!

Oh, and of course there will be spoilers.

Dante & Alex: Origins

The first video can be considered the very first DNA Show. Alex and Dante discuss the movies Teeth, There Will Be Blood, and even throw in some fancy zombie dancing by Alex (along with gay porn talk). The second video is just Alex kicking Dante in the face. Good times!

The Dante & Alex Show Episode 10

“Better than that  just lie to your boyfriend. Tell him he’s the best you’ve ever had. That you love him more. That the other guys could never make you orgasm. Just go the full nine yards.” - Alex

“His fucking girlfriend was really hot. And I‘m sure that if I was told ‘Hey, Dante, guess what? You are no longer getting sex from this person.’ I would wake up from the dead and kill some people too.” - Dante

In this episode Alex and Dante talk about the box office totals, Batman movie update, X Men: First Class, Spiderman on Broadway, a tirade about the decline of television, the latest films they have seen, and the Top 5 Heroes of Live TV/Cinema. Click here to download this and past DNA Shows!

JUDGEMENT!: Winter's Bone

Continuing in a current them of films that make you wanna shoot yourself in the face, Winter’s Bone is a film that shows the effects of having a drug making father who decides to use the house you, your messed up mother, and your younger siblings live in as collateral before skipping bail. The feel good movie of the summer, I say!

The film stars Jennifer Lawrence (Monk, The Bill Engvall Show, upcoming X-Men: First Class) as Ree Dolly. As I mentioned, she has it rough. Like, super rough. There’s barely any food. Her father is no where to be seen. Everyone around her is either high, sad, starving, or a combination of all three. When your meth addicted uncle named “Teardrop” played by John Hawkes (Perfect Storm, Rush Hour, I Know What You Did Last Summer) is the most logical person you know things are messed up.

Spoilers are indeed following this line.

JUDGEMENT!: Blue Valentine

If anything is an advertisement for not being in a relationship, let alone getting married, its this film right here! I mean damn! Just…damn. Blue Valentine is a film about a couple going through problems. They constantly bicker, pick fights, and seem all around like two unhappy people.

Oh. And this review will absolutely have spoilers!

Ryan Gosling (Remember The Titans, The Notebook, Half Nelson) plays the husband Dean Pereira. A house painter who wakes u drinking beer and smoking, drives around town drinking and smoking, and holds his daughter drinking and smoking. Michelle Williams (Brokeback Mountain, Shutter Island, Dawson’s Creek) plays the wife Cindy Heller. She’s a nurse by day and miserable human the rest of the time.

The Dante & Alex Show Episode 9

“I wanna see adult looking actors. This coming from the kid that looks like a 12 year old.” - Alex

“Annette Benning’s not getting it she’s not dying! I know how this works. - Dante
