This week I am doing my film review a day early mainly because I have prior commitments for Halloween. So without further a due this week I will be reviewing the 1994 visual masterpiece The Crow.
First off the reason I chose The Crow is because I wanted to stick with the whole Halloween theme, second what better way to kick off my Blogs first week then with a review of one of my top 20 favourite films. For starters The Crow is a visual masterpiece and is beautiful to look at. Second the film has a rather gripping plot. I want to start by commenting on the obvious and that is a the death of star Brandon Lee during production. His performance in this film is fantastic and he will live on in the hearts of fans everywhere for the rest of eternity. The movie itself has a good pace and centres around a young couple who are going to get married on Halloween but get killed the day before. The husband Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) then comes back from the dead as an unstoppable force and seeks revenge for the his and his brides murders. This movie is action packed and offers up some classic lines from cinema history. If you have never seen The Crow I would strongly suggest this film, it packs a powerful punch and offers some touching moments.
My final score for this film is a solid 8/10.
What are your thoughts on The Crow? Let me know in the comments below and have a safe and happy Halloween!

This Week in Comics!
Wednesday, October 28th 2015
Lots of great books came out this week but I myself only picked up two, the titles I picked up this week are Batman and Robin Eternal #4 and Justice league Darkseid War: Batman #1. Both titles are parts of on-going series, Batman and Robin Eternal is a weekly on-going series which started four weeks ago, so far the series has been great! Writers Scott Snyder (Batman, Wytches) and James Tynion IV (Batman Eternal) team up yet again for this weekly series. The story takes place in the continuity of Scott Snyder's Batman book, where *Spoiler alert* Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman and has been replaced by Jim Gordon and his Robot Batsuit. This story sees the return of Dick Grayson to Gotham where he is trying to find the mysterious Mother, with the help of clues left behind by Bruce Wayne before he lost his memory (See Endgame by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo) thus far the story has offered looks into the past history of Batman and Robin when Dick Grayson was Robin. This issue takes a brake from the flashbacks and focuses on a more action packed set of events in which Grayson is trying to protect a Bruce Wayne with memory loss from a group of brainwashed people. Without giving away too much of the plot this weeks issue of Batman and Robin Eternal #4 is a must read for any Batman fan looking to wet his whistle with a great story and some great art.
Now on the my next review which is for Justice League Darkseid War: Batman #1, ah yes another Batman title this time in the continuity of superstar writer Geoff Johns (Shazam, Aquaman) Justice League book. First things first if you haven't been reading Darkseid War stop right here and go pick it up! It may quite simply be the best story line to come out from DC comic since Batman: Death of the Family. The combination of Geoff Johns ambitions and amazing ideas with Jason Fabok's mind blowing art has created quite simply one of the greatest pieces of comic book literature in the last ten years. This issues is a one shot which comes off the main title and will be followed by five more one shots! Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok did not do this issue but the art is stellar and writing is good. It offers a look into our changed hero after he was turned into a god during the Darkseid War. The issue gets wordy at times but if you have been reading Darkseid War this is a must read, and if you haven't been reading Darkseid War, well then go pick it up!
