This is a fantastic movie. Christian Bale really set up a world that people loved. His and Gary Oldman's dedication to characters really made this an enjoyable movie to watch acting wise. As it is Nolan, there is a lot of practical explosions and that makes this movie.

With Sam being a devoted Destiny player, Carter and I are jumping back in, we wanted to kick off this new show with something we are all familiar with. We discuss gameplay, story, and where Destiny is going since Activision and Bungie are having some difficulties. While discussing Destiny ...

This is another Christopher Nolan masterpiece and in my opinion better, the story is better than The Dark Knight. The hard exception to that hot take is Heath Ledger. He kills it, but we aren't talking about that in this movie.

Bruce Wayne's parents' deaths are the one of the most iconic fictional deaths of all time. With this series you get to experience the rise of Batman after this death as he navigates the workings of Gotham's police force in this gritty and dark series.

Travis Langley does a fantastic job of describing Batman through the ages, from Adam West to Christian Bale. Both dispelling myths about homoeroticism and Batman's psyche then enshrining and elevating the relationships and responsibilities of both the Bat Family and the most popular enemies.

What a garbage movie. This should have been a made for TV movie because there is nothing of true quality about it. For instance, you can hear them do a voice over. They obviously had to go back and AVR it because the volume on these lines is about 3 levels higher and a different quality microphone.

I am really not sure how to review this since it was so superficial. Most of the entry point of the book, we will say the first half, are very surface level items have been said in other places.

This is an amazing movie with an accelerated telling of years of battle against the English for the freedom of Scotland. We all know Mel Gibson's famous telling of William Wallace in Braveheart because we have all at once used the "FREEEEEEDOOOM" gif when leaving for the weekend.

Jack Reacher is once again caught in the middle of a situation that plunges him into the investigation of a killer using ritualistic patterns to kill their victims. Lee Child does a much better job in this book telling a story that makes you think about how it is unfolding.

If John Wick and The Accountant had a baby it would be Denzel in this movie. He has such experience that he knows how to kill everyone in the room with minimal effort, but he has gotten older so it takes him a bit more time.

This book was recommended to me when I first started my career in cyber security. However, I didn't read it for the first time until a couple years ago (I wasn't a big reader back then) and have now reread it for the second time as I continue to find books to recommend for those that I mentor.
Video Game
Because of this and us plus over friends in the future playing this game, I want to like it. I really do. I have fond memories playing this game. However, having jumped in with the release of The Final Shape, the story is completely pointless now.
