Some great stuff there! I especially liked the Batman one. The surprises fit the Batman mood perfectly, dark like Tim Burton went after but IMO just missed.

Could have sworn I posted this into 'General Movies', rather than 'The website'. Now I'm worried my mind is telling me lies.  |

Oops! How could I forget what is possibly my fave one of all. WONDER WOMANOkay, so it's all style and no substance but it sure does look pretty. As does WW herself. |

darkwolfavenged,
The only one I watched in full so far is the short Wonder Woman. That is terrific!
I have only previewed a few minutes of the others so far. I will get to them when I have more time. But so far they look really really good. The Batman in particular - I have always been a Batman fan (in most incarnations anyway) ever since comics cost ten cents. (Holy Moley!) This one looks like Batman meets Se7en. Hope the good guys win this one.

Yeah, I adore that WW short. A brilliant and ultra stylish short film. The actress playing her so looks the part and the costume is perfect. It hits the right balance between the trad comic book look and a more warrior style garb. The Batman short film is really good too. Well made and oozing with atmosphere. If you like Lord of the Rings then The Hunt for Gollum is great too and like Wonder Woman is semi-professionally made with real actors and a budget.

If you like Lord of the Rings... IF??? I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in hardcover in the library before they appeared in the (unauthorized) Ace paperback version. (Followed by the authorized updated Ballantine editions.) I have the red leather bound (*) boxed single volume edition of LOTR. I have the twelve (12) disc Special Extended Edition of the LOTR films and I have the two (to date) Hobbit films on Blu-Ray. I have the Silmarillion in first edition hardcover and many of the various other Tolkien works. I have the Hildebrandt calendar art, which greatly influenced the films. Uh...where was I? Oh yes... I was worried about this. From the books, I know the story of the search for Gollum, alluded to vaguely in the first movie (**), and I was worried that this would be not up to par. With your reassurance that it is not embarrassingly bad, I can watch it at leisure and not worry.  (*) As in the Red Book of Westmarch.  (**) How did Gandalf know what Gollum told them in Mordor? |

The star wars troop film has been an old fav of mine for years.
Saw the hunt for golem a few months ago, very well made.
Will check out the rest when I get chance.

The movies do not appear to be the same ones as when I first looked five years ago. Wonder Woman is missing for one thing.
