Superman/Batman: Apocalypse DVD Review
By: Jason Albrecht

Picking up where Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (SB:PE) left off, SB:A is much more interesting then it’s predecessor SB:PE. Unlike in SB:PE, the heroes actually face forces that put them in peril. It’s fun! Lots of action! Some great choreographed fight scenes! Some kick down brawls that leave devastation in their wake!! The voice acting is almost spot on. The Trinity of DC heroes are voiced by veterans of the characters: Kevin Conroy reprises his role as the Dark Knight like he did so well throughout Batman The Animated Series (B:TAS) and Justice League incarnations. Tim Daly is back as Superman as he was during Superman the Animated Series (S:TAS). Susan Eisenberg is Wonder Woman as she was during Justice League and JLU! You also have Summer Glau as Kara/Supergirl and Ed Asner as Granny Goodness (which he nails every time he plays her!). Where they failed (and it really disappointed me) in the casting was Darkseid himself. Andre Braugher just can’t pull it off like Michael Ironside did in S:TAS and JL/JLU (did I mention that this disappointed me?). Change this and this animated feature clicks up about 4 notches!! In the end, it was very enjoyable and fun. It wasn’t near as good as DC’s previous animated feature “Under the Red Hood” but honestly, not many can compare to that. If you like heroes and animated features don’t pass this one up.

SB:A’s story is taken from the late artist Michael Turner’s run on the Superman/Batman comic, covering issues 8-13. The art style in the animated feature reflects Michael Turner and the visuals he brought to the pages of the story arc. Kara, Superman’s cousin, crash lands on Earth. Her ship was apparently set free by the destruction of the giant Kryptonite asteroid in SB:PE where she was in some kind of hibernating state since Krypton was destroyed. The beginning of the story focuses on her learning her powers and place before Darkseid kidnaps here and makes her his pawn. Supes and Bats must then travel to Apocalypse (Darkseid’s world) and rescue her along with Wonder Woman and Big Barda (who have a kickass fight with Darkseid’s Furies!!).

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...
