Man Of Steel(2013)

Watching this today for its tenth anniversary and to prepare for The Flash. The movie that started the DCEU and it’s quite fitting that the very same year the film that jumpstarted the DCEU has its first ten year anniversary is also the same year that the cinematic universe ends.

Now I know it’s a divisive film but watching the movie again after all these years, I’m reminded why I really dig this film and its take on on the mythos. Even though it’s been ten years, I really think the VFX work(until maybe the third act), is pretty impressive and the costume and production design are first class, with a epic and majestic score from Hans Zimmer. Not to mention the action sequences are pretty awesome. Of course, this movie is far from perfect, but I really do appreciate it for being a pretty different take on the material.
 
La cage / The Cage (1975)
Brothers in Law (1957)
Arrête ton char... bidasse! / Stop Fooling Around... Soldier! (1977)
À nous les petites Anglaises! / Let's Get Those English Girls (1976)
 
The Wildcats of St Trinian's (1980)

Little known fifth entry in the St Trinian's series. The schoolgirl terrors come to the conclusion that they're having to do far too much schoolwork whilst having to endure poor surroundings and facilities. To fix this they decide to launch a trade union for British schoolgirls. Every British schoolgirl, at every British girls' school. But of course there's more to it than that. Their bonkers plan involves strike action, kidnapping, blackmail, criminal damage, assault, demanding money with menaces, and a potentially disastrous diplomatic incident. The cast includes several well-known names of UK TV and film at the time; Sheila Hancock, Michael Hordern, Thorley Walters, Joe Melia, Rodney Bewes, Maureen Lipman, and Julia McKenzie. The 6th form are led by the ill-fated Debbie Linden, and 'Real Housewife' Lisa Vanderpump(!).

The original four movies ran from 1954 - 1966. This entry - 14 years later - doesn't have the same charm. The tropes are there; the girls of the lower school all look like they've been pulled through a hedge backwards; the 6th form are all glamour, short skirts, and stockings; the head mistress has even less moral fibre than her pupils; and everyone, from local residents to the government's Department of Education, is terrified of the lot of them. But the whole thing feels out of its time (the 2007 film actually did a better job of reinvigorating the franchise). In truth, there's no denying it's the worst of the series (despite an early VHS release, it's the only on that's never been released on DVD in the UK). But I can't be too hard on it. I grew up with these films, like the Carry On films. And like the Carry Ons, I watched them with my parents, and my children have watched them with me. 6/10

The Flash


The Flash baby and the American Sniper baby should just throw hands and prove to everyone who's the real fake baby.
