Rapid Reviews - Other Stuff

Justice League: Starcrossed: Finally, we get to see it. And it's not at all what I was expecting. Ok, well, maybe just a little like I was expecting. It was a solid story. If there was any problem, it was the lack of other supers besides the Justice League being mentioned as opposing the invasion. The revelations about Hawkgirl were appropriately surprising, though her final fate wasn't. A solid story.

Shrek 2: I haven't seen a movie in a theater in a long time. I think it's been over a year. I still don't like theaters, but this was a fun one to see with other folks around to giggle with. Like the first movie, it's a light-hearted romp that deals with true love. The new characters worked well together, and the result was something that was both completely familiar and completely new. This isn't a movie to go into with critical blinders on, this is a movie to grab a bag of popcorn, sit back, and just enjoy. As that type of a movie, it succeeds very well. If you didn't like the first one, don't bother with this. But if you did enjoy the first, this one is highly recommended.

Still to review from the May 26th comics: Ant and Common Grounds. Comics due out Thursday June 3rd: Justice League Adventures, Girl Genius, Swamp Thing, Thor, and Superman: Birthright.
