“The City in the Woods,” “Battle in my Backyard” or “Forest Fighters.” Any of those would have been better titles for “Epic,” a dull animated adventure that’s anything but.

If you’re a “Resident Evil” fan and have grown increasingly more frustrated with the live-action films that may as well be subtitled “Milla Jovovich Rockz!!!” some welcome relief has come with “Resident Evil: Damnation,” which is easily the best cinematic installment of the series and despite being a computer generated film, features better acting and a more faithful spin on one of the most successful video games franchises ever.

“Superman: Unbound” is another flawed, but fun animated film featuring the Man of Steel. More

Were it not for some major departures from the source material, “Justice League: Doom” could have been the best entry in Warner Bros. Animation’s DC Comics library. Even with the changes, it’s definitely in the upper echelon of the consistently quality animated films of the DC Universe. More

While Marvel Studios dominates the box office, the home video wing — Marvel Animation — has consistently been owned by Warner Bros. Animation department’s offerings from the DC Comics Universe.
Although featuring the golden Avenger, the latest effort — “Iron Man: Rise of Technovore” — doesn’t do much to polish the studio’s rusty reputation with a scattered, dull adventure that seems surprisingly dated for a character who’s always on the cutting edge of technology. More

Here’s the synopsis from DC Comics’ The Source:
In the movie, when time travel allows a past wrong to be righted for the Flash and his family, the event’s temporal ripples prove disastrous, creating a fractured, alternate reality where the Justice League never formed, and Superman is nowhere to be found. Amidst a new world being ravaged by a fierce war between Wonder Woman’s Amazons and Aquaman’s Atlanteans, Flash must team with a grittier, more violent Batman and government agent Cyborg to restore the continuity of Flash’s original timeline.
And here’s another look at Flash and the Flashpoint universe Batman
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, the PG-13 rated film is produced by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation, and will be available on July 30, 2013 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group on Blu-Ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download.

To a number of comic book fans, Flashpoint is a bit of a sore spot as it marked the end of “their DC Universe” and helped usher in the DCnU. Where you stand on that will clearly affect what you think of DC Animated’s next project: “Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.” I figure if nothing else, the movie will have a better ending.
Here’s how you can bring back Young Justice from the Cartoon Network graveyard! Maybe…

We can all agree that “Young Justice” was ended well before its time.
The Cartoon Network made finding new episodes a TV show scavenger hunt before cancelling it way too soon. But maybe there’s a chance to return the show back to network TV in a (Kid) Flash. 
Amy B. has set up a petition at change.org to bring it back. So far 36,528 people have signed it with another 13,472 needed. You can add your name here.
Seriously with all the crappy entertainment out there it’s crazy we have to fight to get quality shows back on the air. While it may not accomplish much in the end, at the very least YJ fans can make their voices heard somewhat.

The creators of “G.I. Joe: Resolute” meant well with their take on the “Real American Hero” mythos, but stripped of much of what made the source material so enjoyable, this revamp is seriously lacking charm and fun. More

So I’m attempting to do what no one raised on a steady entertainment diet of 80s cartoons should bother trying — writing an unbiased review of “G.I. Joe: The Movie.”
Maybe for an encore, I’ll give “The Empire Strikes Back” a shot?
Take 1 doesn’t go too well as I realize I’m singing along with the words to the awesome opening scene. Yep. Completely unbiased… More
