Last week, DC Comics released Justice League #1 part of the new 52 title relaunch; talk about hitting the ground running. The issue written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee reintroduces us to The Justice League takes us to a new beginning for the team. Without giving anything away, it's like we are meeting these characters for the first time while they meet each other for the first time. I didn't want the issue to end, and I can hardly wait for the next one. 

        

       I recently watched the movie "Priest" and I was definitely pleasantly surprised. The movie was quite good and I was impressed by the plot, the story, and the cast. I never get enough of good sci-fi and good vampire movies and this is a combination of both. The cast features Paul Bettany ("The DaVinci Code", "Legion"), Karl Urban ("Star Trek", "Red"), Cam Gigandet ( "Never Back Down", "Twilight"), Maggie Q ("Mission: Impossible III", "Live Free and Die Hard"), Christopher Plummer ("The Sound of Music", "Up") and also includes Lily Collins, daughter of musician Phil Collins, who stars in the movie "The Blind Side" and also stars in the upcoming movies "Abduction" and "Snow White". I recommend this movie if you haven't already seen it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

        Another movie that was quite surprising was "The Warrior's Way", this movie was an entertaining martial arts/ western hybrid, if you can believe that. As impressed as I was by the plot and the story, the cast was the biggest surprise of all. Dong-gun Jang plays the main character, an assassin who decides to forsake his path and instead chooses to protect a child he was supposed to kill. He flees to The West to escape his clan and ends up in a town in the middle of the American badlands. Of course, he becomes attached to the townspeople especially a beautiful young woman named Lynne, so when they become endangered, he picks up his sword again. The cast includes some easily recognizable faces, such as Kate Bosworth ( "Blue Crush", "Superman Returns"), Geoffrey Rush ( "Shakespeare in Love", "Pirates of the Caribbean"), Danny Huston ("30 Days of Night", "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), and Tony Cox ("Bad Santa", "Date Movie"). The movie is a bit bloody and a whole lot of fun.
