wonderWonder Woman
Starring Keri Russell, Nathan Fillion
Centuries ago the Amazons, a proud and fierce race of warrior women, led by Queen Hippolyta, battled and defeated Ares, the god of war. Zeus, king of the gods, prevented them from killing Ares. Instead Hera, queen of the gods, bound his powers so that he was no more powerful than a mortal and that only another god could release him. On the mystical island of Themyscira, the Amazons have raised a daughter of untold beauty, grace and strength: Princess Diana. When an Army fighter pilot, Steve Trevor, crash-lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies her mother and wins the right to be the Amazons representative to the outisde world and escort Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazons and has decided to exact his revenge. His powers bound, Ares travels to the underworld to have them released by Hades, lord of the underworld. With his power restored, Ares will start a world war that will provide him with the power to not only rule the world, but also conquer the gods of Olympus. It is up to Princess Diana to save her people and the world – by using her gifts and becoming the ultimate Wonder Woman.

The Unrated Blogger’s Cut

This week I’ll be picking up Watchmen: Motion Comics because, well, Watchmen is awesome.  And with almost 6 hours of video on it, what Watchmen fan wouldn’t want it?  And finally I’ll be renting Wonder Woman because I’m enjoying where DC is taking their animated movies, it’s a more adult direction.

Coming Soon:

    This is a constant reminder that you need to be careful. Lately I have been getting a lot of spam email and I just ignore it. You also need to do what you can to make sure your server and site is secure.

  • Wow, I can't believe they have Wonder Woman on Blu-ray. I wonder how is the quality of the DVD. Off topic: Does anyone know who will play the part of Wonder Woman in the up and coming movie? Just curious.

  • THANK GOD we can watch the cinema masterpiece "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" in high definition...
  • Australia looks terrible and have heard bad things. Won't waste my time with that. The Watchmen cartoon seems interesting although really looking forward to the real deal this weekend, so will scratch that one off as well.
