The Coen Brothers‘ latest stars Oscar Isaac as a folk singer in 60’s New York. Carey Mulligan, Adam Driver, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, and Garrett Hedlund also star. Loosely based on Dave Von Ronk‘s memoir, the film is scheduled for release later this year.
Things aren’t going well for the Young Justice team in either the past or the present. In the flashbacks the team attempts to stop Deadshot‘s assassination attempt. And in the present things aren’t looking much better as the scattered members of the team deal with an alien invasion and it’s effect on the populace of Metropolis.
Superman,Superboy, Captain Atom, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman continue to try and fight off Braniac‘s crystallized minion in space as the Atom, the Martian Manhunter, and the Flash‘s attempt to sneak aboard the ship slowly shrinking Metropolis fails in spectacular fashion, nearly costing the three heroes their lives.
Although Nightwing and his team of Zatanna, Blue Bettle, and Wonder Girl are far more successful in their attempt to infiltrate the ship, they are unprepared for what awaits them. While trapped in the city, Black Lightning tries to keep the peace and clamp down on the rioting and looting as Batgirl tries to hold off the Supeboy clone Match all on her own.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters offers audiences the further adventures of Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton), the young brother and sister first introduced by the Brothers Grimm 200 years ago. After a brief retelling of the classic fairy tale (with one or two important tweaks) in which the young children fight off and kill a powerful witch living in a candy house in the woods, we catch up years later with our hero and heroine after they have become the world’s most famous witch hunters.
The plot by Tommy Wirkola (who also directs) and Dante Harper isn’t all that imaginative as Hansel and Gretel are pitted against a grand witch (Famke Janssen) with plans to use the rare event of a Blood Moon to make her coven invincible. What makes the film work, often in spite of itself, is its sense of humor and constant awareness of what it is.
