Man of Steelcast: Superman 2
The rag-tag team of superfriends reunite to tackle Superman 2! If the first film taught us that a man could fly, the second showed us he can have super breath, super strength and some magical chest shield!

The A-Z of Geek Cinema: W is for Watchmen
Let’s get this out of the way right now: I loved this movie when it was first released. It’s one of my favorite graphic novel/comic stories, and I’d been heavily anticipating it since the first trailer was put out with The Dark Knight. I saw 3 times in the theatre, and for an almost 3 …
