It seems interesting that for a company that has not been able to stick a landing in the theaters (the Batman movies excluded), DC Comics’ animated DVDs are head and shoulders above the competition (namely, Marvel). Given the choice, I would much rather watch any of the DC titles that have come out on DVD than the few Marvel titles, most of which have just been pretty bad.
For those who are looking for a good watch, and are not sidled with the conception that animation is only for children, I have a few suggestions for you.

I remember a time when if you scratched your album, all it would do is skip. Or if you bought it on a hot summer day and ran a few more errands before heading home, you ran the risk of the album melting and warping into something unplayable. Or, if you drop it on just the right surface, it would actually break.
I remember audio and video cassettes. Leave one of them too close to a magnet, and WHAMO! I had one actually destroyed in a store as I was buying it because the cashier passed it over the same security demagnitizer that the used for the books. Thankfully, they took the return given the situation.
I remember all of this while I set aside my copy of Green Lantern Emerald Knights, a DVD I just recently tried to rewatch, only to be thwarted by a few persistent motes of dust that I just can’t seem to blow off of it.

It took a power marathon of two DVDs and two episodes on Hulu, but I am all caught up with Grimm. And I’m still loving all the twists in this series.
I had a short weekend this week (Sunday only), but somehow still managed to get in a little viewing.

After a long weekend of thunder storms, trial verdicts, long drawn out baseball games and more thunder storms, it becomes necessary to unwind. This week, it was with three separate movies.
I did not do a lot of movie watching this weekend. Work, Fathers Day and a killer toothache cut into a lot of my time. But I did manage to watch one movie this weekend.WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
After a sojourn to the New England Air Museum, I worked on hitting the gigantic pile of backlogged movies. At least, that was Sunday, Monday was something different.

After a harrowing day Sunday, it was time for some comfort cinema with a couple of older movies, and one new one.

This holiday weekend ended up being a massive movie weekend for me. Not only did I watch two movies, but one BBC series, and shorter film.
