Black Adam - Movie Review

 

Not The Story I Remember

I admit my knowledge of Black Adam comes from the animated movie "Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam". I have done my some research and found there was a mixture of comic story and creative licensing for this movie. Obviously, Dwayne Johnson would not want to be a full fledged villain but the later evolved anti-hero like Venom (I know Venom is Marvel not DC). I did find this new story interesting.

Review

The movie was pretty action packed through out with only a few times that it slowed down. The story was interesting and refreshing. I very much enjoyed seeing characters like Dr Fate and Hawkman. I loved Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate. One of the best casting choices in my opinion next to Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam.

There was a point in the story I had to look at my watch and realized the movie was not over yet. It could have been made into two movies with the amount of content but I am glad they made a single long movie. Although, I do suspect there will be a sequel.

This was one of the top three movies made in the DCU. Wonder Woman and Aquaman being the other two that were very enjoyable to watch without needing an extended edition to fill plot holes or make the story flow better. Definitely worth the watch.

Rating

I would give this movie a high HD rating. I will pick this movie up with it is under $10.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
