Pop Culture Guy episode 12: Sully review

Sully

Clint Eastwood directs and Tom Hanks stars in Sully, a biographical film about the veteran pilot who landed a plane full of passengers into the Hudson River after hitting a flock of birds that disable the engines. This being the first time Eastwood and Hanks have worked together, it's a surprise they haven't collaborated before this as they both do an exceptional job. Though it has a slow pace in the beginning, the movie delivers in all the right ways with perfectly done drama and genuine laughs at certain points. Other than Hanks, the rest of the cast is just as amazing with Aaron Eckhart as the copilot and Laura Linney as Sully's wife. The effects for the scenes depicting the plane being hit and then being forced to land in the water are awe-inspiring. Over all: 100%

Pop Culture Guy episode 11: The Categories The Oscars Need to Give Out

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #6

The last issue in the six part crossover between DC's Batman and IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is as memorable as the previous issue and has a very strong finale. Batman, Robin, the Turtles, and Splinter make one last effort at defeating the combined forces of Shredder's Foot Clan, Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins, and the mutated rogues held in Arkham. Even when they have a chance to get back home, the Turtles stand true to Batman and refuse despite the fact that they could die. The ending especially is very powerful and thoughtful as after the defeat of Shredder and Ra's and the Turtles go back to their universe, Batman lets Damien stay as it is the anniversary of the death of his parents and wants to spend the day with his son for the first time. This crossover is the best I've read, utilizing everything that makes both franchises so loved and hinting that maybe one day we would see another crossover, and hopefully have Batman visit the turtles. Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a great example of how two different companies can work together and both create something so amazing and unforgettable. Over all: 100%

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5

Taking place a short while after the fourth issue, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5 has the turtles being affected by their mutagen wearing off due to being in a different universe, the Turtles meeting, and briefly fighting, Damien Wayne, and the surprising ending where all of Batman's enemies have been turned into half animal mutants and attack him. I find this the weakest of all the issues, though still a very well written and beautifully drawn as the rest. Though the issue is really great and filled with a lot of great drama and action, one drawback is the introduction of Damien, this being the first time I read something with him, attacking the Turtles when he enters the cave due to it being weird that Batman didn't inform of what's going on before arriving. The cliffhanger however is definitely one of the best I've ever read with how surprising it was to see all of the well known inmates of Arkham attacking Batman and Robin as mutated half animals. Over all: 99%
