Justice League: The New Frontier
"Warner Animation's sophomore direct-to-DVD is a solid improvement over its predescessor, Superman: Doomsday.

"Pity the poor giant monster fan; even in the subgenre's heyday, the pickings were few and far between. These days, Godzilla is in hibernation (and will be until 2009 brings Godzilla 3-D to the iMAX), and all the discerning kaiju junkie had to sustain him was the intensely hyped Cloverfield... and Dragon Wars, a somewhat schizophrenic Korean fantasy film that plops giant chubby iguanas with magic rocket launchers in the streets of Los Angeles."

Metalocalypse: Season One (2007)
"I find myself hoping that the mysteries of Metalocalypse never get fully unravelled. This ain't Lost; it's doled out in weekly 15-minute doses, and is a lot funnier. The intrigue definitely takes a back seat to the comedy, causing me to appreciate it even more. Uh, the intrigue, not the comedy. In fact, to appreciate the comedy in Metalocalypse, you had better also be able to find the humor in movies like Gates of Hell. It is, as the members of Dethklok would testify, "Brutal." More...
