VI9br5hnvNDscd_3_hd

From IMDB: Fearing that the actions of Superman are left unchecked, Batman takes on the Man of Steel, while the world wrestles with what kind of a hero it really needs.

Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Jeremy Irons, Laurence Fishburne

TL;DR Good characterization of Batman (maybe my favorite) and Wonder Woman. Terrible Lex Luthor. Meh story and plots.

Pets of the Week March 28, 2016

Krissco
This 5-year-old handsome American Staffordshire Terrier is a dependable, good-natured, loyal companion. It would surprise some that this muscular dog with the impressive, confident presence is so easygoing. He has no need for other doggie companions because Krissco entertains himself every day running in the yard and playing with his toys. He has already learned how to sit and stay down, and is working on door manners. He must have moderate daily exercise to maintain his splendid muscle tone. Companionship is even more important, and extensive ongoing socialization is paramount. Krissco will respond well to a confident owner who will provide training and consistent rule-following. And if exuberant face-kissing is something you want, then Krissco can definitely fill the bill.

Sassy
Sassy is 9-year-old Maine Coon mix, good-natured and affable, adapting well to many lifestyles and personalities. She likes being with people and has the habit of following them around, but she isn’t needy. She’s happy to receive attention when you direct it her way, but if you’re busy she’s satisfied to just supervise your doings. Close a door on her and she will wait patiently for you to realize the error of your ways and let her in. She’s not typically a lap cat, but she does like to be near you. Maine Coons usually enjoy a kittenish love of play; Sassy is more dignified, but she isn’t above a good game of chase. This overly relaxed feline would make a wonderful addition to a home with adults who enjoy a quiet lifestyle and napping, her most favorite activity of all.

Gun Woman


Blu-Ray


DVD

Gun Woman is currently available on Netflix.

Directed and written by Kurando Mitsutake

Starring: Asami, Kairi Narita, Noriaki Kamata, Matthew Floyd Miller, Dean Simone

TL;DR Pretty good movie. A very disturbing villain – someone you want to see get theirs. Copious amounts of nudity – just not the good kind.

Pets of the Week March 21, 2016

Bianca
Bianca, underweight and nervous, was brought to the animal shelter by animal control officers. She is now ten pounds healthier and more playful, just like what a bouncy White Boxer mix should be. Dubbed the “Peter Pan” of dogs, Boxers are highly energetic, and as they grow into adulthood, they never lose the desire to romp and play like a puppy. ? Bianca is a perpetual cuddle bug and will try to wriggle into even the smallest space possible to get close to the ones she loves. Always wanting to be the center of attention and to attract an audience, this people-pleasing pooch is sure to make a loving and loyal addition to any active family.

Lucky
?4-year-old Lucky is a male American Longhair who prefers quiet and calm surroundings. He’s a refined, gentleman cat who enjoys the companionship of adults and other felines who share his appreciation of the finer things in life, like classical music and Fancy Feast. ?A good scratch behind the ears and regular brushing of his plush coat are all he needs to keep looking dapper and handsome. Set him on a comfy perch and you’ve just made all of his dreams come true! Visit Lucky at Petsmart and give this cat of quiet charm a loving home.
