Nah, Nah, Nah, NAH Batman

I'm sure by now most of us have heard the news, that it's been officially announced that Robert Pattinson will be the new Batman.
And a few of us have been left scratching our heads on this decision.

What is going on over at WB headquarters that they chose to go with Pattinson?!
No shade to Robert Pattinson, as a person, but as an actor, let's just say that his roles haven't been memorable for the best reasons.

He really can't emote, I'd say he's at par with his former co-star Kristen Stewart, who can't emote even if her life depended on it.
I honestly want to think that the person responsible for casting is either high, drunk or naive.
Yes, Bruce Wayne is moody, broody, dark... but not obnoxious twinkling vampire moody.
What I don't understand is that we know that there have been some couple of misses in their casting choices (for their movies) but there has also been some great choices.
Specially when it comes to their t.v. characters, they've been pretty good.

But seriously? Is WB taking their superhero franchise serious?
I'm sorry that I come off as bitch-y and whiny, like I've made a point to criticize others for doing the same thing (hypocritical too), but I'm seriously questioning their decision.

At the end of the day, I want to be proven wrong that Robert Pattinson will be able to emote more than we've seen him been capable of doing, and it's not ultimately up to me, because I'm definitely NOT part of the process. But what WB has to take into account is their fan base and whether they will accept their choice in actor for the role.
And by the looks of it, the community has been divided by this news. Some are cheering the decision, others, not so much.
So, at the end, we'll just have to see how the new Batman movie does and we will for sure know, whether it was a good decision to cast Pattinson as Batman.
Do you think Robert Pattinson was the best choice for Batman? Let me know in the comments below!

Gotta Run Away Fast.

We've all seen the trailers for the upcoming release of Pokemon: Detective Pikachu and most of us have gotten excited to see our favorite Pokemon come to life (CGI, of course) on the big screen. One of the most iconic Pokemon have been Pikachu, and what we've seen, he is stinkingly adorable in anime form or live-action. The animation for the CGI was well handled for what we've been able to gather from the trailers. digitalspy.com So, it makes sense that other production companies want to cash in the nostalgia fever and releases their own spin on classic icons of classic games. But, what in the HECK are you guys thinking at Paramount?!?! About a day ago or so, the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog movie was release, and let me tell you, Sonic looks like something that was brought from the darkest pits of hell. Seriously, what were the animators thinking?! It's not cute, nor endearing, or even worth of the namesake. Newsweek.com Whatever that was, it was...

Sink your teeth into Castlevania.

It is almost February and within the time that I've been missing, there have been so many news, that it is kind of hard to talk to you guys about everything. Lately, I must admit that I've been in a weird funk of watching interesting shows, movies, that are not necessarily in everyone's radar. Yes, I could talk about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, or anything else that has been buzzing around the internet. But lately, with all the nay-sayers, I've kinda gotten into this funk of finding lost treasure in shows that might not be well known, or given enough time of day, due to either people not knowing, or just glossing over. One of those 'diamonds in the rough' that I recently was made aware of is 'Castlevania' on Netflix. There's only two seasons of the animated series, and I basically binged watched season 1 yesterday with the Hubby. And seriously, if you haven't seen this animated series, it really is damned good. (See w...

Not your Mother's She-Ra.

On November 13, Netflix finally premiered 'She-Ra & The Princesses of Power.' Not sure if it was long awaited (for other people, I was absolutely waiting for this!) and even before it was released it was met with a bit of controversy due to the new styling. Well, my daughter and I sat to binge watched season 1 and let me tell you, it was absolutely perfectly well balanced. For those of us old enough to remember the original series, there are tons of references to characters, events, etc. It doesn't dwell too much into, but it gives a respectful nod to the original series. It isn't a carbon copy of the 80's She-ra and it isn't completely different (I'm assuming this was done for the 'nay-sayers.'). It is very well balanced with new elements and nostalgia inducing references. imdb.com Character development is also well done, I absolutely love the fact that Cattra was given a much rounder, complex backstory in this rebo...
