He’s A Different Kind of Cat – Black Panther: The Animated Series (2010)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Mar 7, 2018
Last week we took a look at the failed pilot for a Wonder Woman TV show that was created at the height of Batmania.

A Brief Blog Update
Cinematic Catharsis Posted by Barry P. on Mar 3, 2018
It’s not easy discussing my emotions publicly. I tend to keep things bottled up, instead of expressing myself. I try to quell the nagging voice in my skull that proclaims a movie blog isn’t a place for non-movie things, but life sometimes gets in the way. This week felt like déjà read more

The Real Paradox Is Why Anyone Thought This Was A Good Idea – The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Feb 21, 2018
As a “franchise” Cloverfield certainly has an odd history. The first movie, simply titled Cloverfield, was a found-footage take on the kaiju/giant monster/Godzilla genre. To be honest, although there have been found footage movies that I’ve enjoyed, I wasn’t a fan. Then came read more
