As always DCU animated does a great job. They do a good job translating the Graphic novel into an animated film without losing anything major. They cleaned it up a bit from the graphic novel, but I didn't mind.

A great popcorn movie and then some. Watching it on DVD/Bluray is a somewhat different experience from seeing it in the theater. Still a great movie, but I think it loses a bit from the initial impact.

Watched this online. The movie is set in the later part of the Batman The Animated Series run, a part of the BTAS run I am not a big fan of. It's an alright to decent movie for what it is, if I had paid $10 to see the movie in the theater I would have been unhappy. Seeing it online was a pleasant enough way to see the movie. For a great animated Batman movie, see Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm.

A fun little movie. Unique premise
6. The Falklands Play (2002 TV Movie)

Director: Michael Samuels | Stars: Patricia Hodge, James Fox, John Standing, Michael Cochrane

The telling of the Falklands War from the viewpoint of the British Political leadership. Interesting, but overall it felt unfulfilling.
7. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013 Video)
PG-13 | 75 min | Animation, Action, Adventure
The Flash finds himself in a war torn alternate timeline and teams up with alternate versions of his fellow heroes to return home and restore the timeline.
Director: Jay Oliva | Stars: Justin Chambers, C. Thomas Howell, Michael B. Jordan, Kevin McKidd
Votes: 59,818
A story about the Justice League from a different darker viewpoint with the Flash as the central character. Their take on the identities on the alternate Batman and Joker is interesting and there may be an additional story to tell there someday. As always the DCU crew does a great job.
BTW, there is an Easter egg after the end credits.
8. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)

A fun movie to watch, not the greatest movie ever made- not by a long shot. But, it is a fun action/supernatural movie to watch and enjoy.

I am not normally a fan of the found film genre. This one pulled it off well enough. I like how the film did not feel the need provide answers for every single question. I wouldn't mind to have seen more of the story.
