  1. If anyone is wondering whether Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny is anywhere near as good as the original – it is not. It’s super-nice to see Michelle Yeoh in something again, but I kinda get the impression she’s not doing her own stunts any more ):

    Justice League vs Teen Titans has a lot more, uh, adult content than I expected.

    • Thanks for the warning. I’ll pre-screen it before my kid gets to see it. We recently started in on Young Justice and we’re enjoying it so I thought this might be up our alley.
