Batman: Soul of the Dragon (2021)
Best DC Animation For a Few Years
It's Batman meets Enter the Dragon meets James Bond, which is just as awesome as it sounds.
The last few DC animated movies have left a taste of disappointment; average/corny scripts, forgettable dialogue, shallow characterisation, just a bit naff. This is a welcome return to form.
Snappy dialogue, well drawn characters, great fight scenes, grandiose villains, good stuff.
I understand it's not really a Batman movie, it's more of a Bruce Wayne and his team of badass Kung Fu fighters take on the world kind of movie.But I could care less.
Is it good ? Yes
Does it kick ass ? Damn straight.
Quick Draw (2013)
Fistful of Curb
No idea what to expect from this, but definitely enjoyably weird.
Basically it's the humour of Curb, Spinal Tap et al transplanted to the Old West.The set up has an Ichibod Crane feel to it, urban educated sheriff brings his city ideas to the backwards west, but it really works. All the cast play it nicely, lots of sharp, deadpan lines, with the undertaker (Bob Clendenin) especially good.
The whole thing has an almost homemade quality to it, which is great. It doesn't feel like anyone tried to get them to soften the edges and it's all the better for it.
Amidst all the bland stuff out there I do hope it lasts.
