When someone mentions DC Comics there are three heroes that immediately come to mind: Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

But now, DC Comics proudly presents its newest Direct to DVD/ Blu-ray release of Wonder Woman! This is the 4th release under the DC Universe Direct to DVD series and is produced by Bruce Timm, best known for his work on the Batman, Superman and Justice League Animated Series.

Blu-ray Review: Donnie Darko
“Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?”
“Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?”
Cult classic film Donnie Darko has just made its way on to Blu-ray!
For those of you who have never heard of this movie, it really is quite amazing. I was introduced to Donnie Darko during a midnight screening of the film in Santa Cruz, CA in 2003. My dormmates said they were going to see this film and summarized the story as being about “evil rabbits and time travel”. I of course went along (because really, who could refuse a story like that?).

Like all of the Futurama movies, the structure of the film is a bit sporadic at times. There are three major plot-lines that happen during the film (please understand that the following review contains spoilers but also might seem a little confusing…but it is the chain of events in the film…so I will do the best I can).

Movie Review: Watchmen (Spoiler-free)
Who watches the Watchmen? 300 lucky people at WonderCon 2009, that’s who! ComicsOnline was there to bask in the glorious film at the Metrion Theater in downtown San Francisco.
Now there are several questions that everyone wants to know. Without spoiling, we’ll answer at least two:
1. Does it live up to expectations? Yes.
2. Did Warner Brothers do it justice? Oh most certainly yes.
This is the most faithful adaptation of any book and or graphic novel to screen that I have ever seen. Yes there are some minor changes. We’ve all heard how they changed the ending a bit and how they removed the Black Freighter and Under the Hood interludes…but honesty, the film didn’t suffer as a result. Even with the slightly changed ending, the point of the story definitely gets across.
