How Cloak & Dagger Re-Imagines Some Problematic Elements From the Old Comics

One of the more challenging parts of adapting comic books for television and film these days is that showrunners have to find a way of reconciling with the sometimes problematic aspects of the source material that, frankly, just haven’t aged well. Take, for example, Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger.

Honestly, I feel like the main guy here is missing the point that hoodies are the thing that make people suspicious. We don’t need people in hoodies to have their own heroes, we want them to stop hiding them faces in public spaces.

The Scorpion King 2 Rise of a Warrior review

See how the legend of The Scorpion King began! When a young Mathayus witnesses his father’s death at the hands of the king (UFC Champion Randy Couture), his quest for vengeance transforms him into the most feared warrior of the ancient world. From the director of Resident Evil: Extinction and Highlander comes a heroic adventure filled with heart-stopping action and thrilling visual effects!

Ah, the Scorpion King, here’s where it all began, he’s a young warrior with stick arms and a heart of gold in a nation of assassin warriors, none of them with the ability to act or appropriately emote. There’s some hints of interesting stuff going on here but the poor script and special effects far outweigh the good.

Case in point, there’s a guy that turns into a monster at the end of the film (naturally), but golly, it’s an invisible monster, so they didn’t even have to spend much on that CG budget, just some air cannons and a stage hand to throw dust into the wind. There was also a scene with some oil and a fire that I think was supposed to be suspenseful, but it was more hilariously confusing than anything else.

Wing Commander review

It’s Starship Troopers meets Top Gun in this no-holds-barred battle on the far reaches of space. A vicious alien race, the Kilrathi, has discovered the coordinates to Earth and is heading there with plans for total destruction. Now it’s up to two young hotshot fighter pilots (Prinze and Lillard) to blast their way through the Kilrathi’s defenses and save humanity from this new breed of enemy.

Still one of the best space fighter movies I’ve ever seen, I love the back story and the universe that everything takes place in. I own the first few games but it’s difficult to get into them as they’re so old at this point.

Dredd review

The future America is an irradiated wasteland. On its East Coast lies Mega City One – a vast violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge jury and instant executioner. The ultimate Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is tasked with ridding the city of its latest scourge -a dangerous drug and the sadistic prostitute turned drug pusher who is using it to take over the city.

I AM THE LAW.

Iron Giant Signature Edition review

When The Iron Giant arrived in theaters in 1999, it was hailed as an “instant classic” by Joe Morgenstern of The Wall Street Journal, and the world soon learned that another “giant” had arrived as well: filmmaker Brad Bird, who made his stunning directorial debut with this film and has gone on to win two Oscars, as well as worldwide acclaim for his work on both animated and live-action features. Winner of 9 Annie Awards, remastered and enhanced with two all-new scenes, The Iron Giant: Signature Edition is the tale of an unlikely friendship between an alien robot from outer space (voiced by Vin Diesel) and a rebellious boy named Hogarth (voiced by Eli Marienthal), his bedraggled mom (voiced by Jennifer Aniston), a paranoid government agent (voiced by Christopher McDonald), and a sympathetic beatnik (voiced by Harry Connick, Jr.) all conspire to turn Brad Bird’s The Iron Giant into a gigantic, out-of-this-world adventure.

The “Signature Editions” is only $4.99 on amazon right now, it was ‘free’ for me since I had so many of these ‘no rush’ credits sitting around, so it may be that cheap for you as well, and I believe it ports to MoviesAnywhere, so you can watch it on your choice of devices.

This movie always reminded me of the max fleischer superman cartoons, both because of the obvious mention of the man himeself, but both the animation style and the Iron Giant’s design itself seems inspired from those earlier cartoons.

If you haven’t seen this one yet, now’s the time, it’s a great one!
