  • Title: We Live in Time

We Live in Time is a bit of a throwback, a solid film that shows the formula of throwing together two extremely likable stars and giving them a stage to perform is still a formula for success. For our pairing we get Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh as Tobias and Almut. The film jumps around in non-linear fashion to delve into the pair’s relationship from their cinematic meet-cute (where she literally runs into him with his car) through the ups and downs of their relationship over the years.

Transformers #16

/ / Comics

In a chaotic issue focused on the Autobots finding themselves in the middle of a battle between two warring groups of Decepticons (without an appearance by Shockwave, sadly), the most interesting moment is saved for the end confirming Megatron‘s survival and foreshadowing his return. This isn’t likely great news for the Autobots who have only kept pace with the Decepticons thanks to their questionable leadership so far. The return of Megatron, who probably isn’t going to be happy to learn Optimus Prime is walking around with his cannon arm, could definitely shake things up.

Batman: Dark Patterns #2

/ / Comics

As Batman: Dark Patterns my interest is leaning more to the art than the story. The second issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series offers the return and capture of the self-mutilated killer we saw in Batman: Dark Patterns #1 who Batman successfully captures. However, due to the incompetence of the coroner who Batman warned Gordon about in the first issue the character (who really only had a single-issue shelf-life for me) may be sticking around even longer.

West Coast Avengers #2

/ / Comics

The second issue of West Coast Avengers features the team taking on some gun runners who turn out to be the Sovereign Sons led by Flag-Smasher. Spider-Woman gets a bit of a highlight here as the point woman with the others jumping in as the battle heats up. By putting a cruise ship at risk, our baddie manages to escape (after going toe-to-toe with the team without having to break a sweat). I’d expect to see Flag-Smasher again, although a new antagonist is revealed at the end of the issue.

  • IMDb: link | link

Film Masters’ Restored Archive Collection collects the final two Sherlock Holmes movies starring Arthur Wontner in this double-feature single-disc Blu-ray. Based on The Valley of Fear, The Triumph of Sherlock Holmes gives us Wontner as a retiring Holmes who, with Dr. Watson (Ian Fleming), investigates the apparent murder of Mr. John Douglas (Leslie Perrins) of Birlestone Manor who turns out to be quite alive despite the machinations of a secret society and Professor Moriarty (Lyn Harding). The film incorporates an extended flashback to events in America (explaining the motives for wanting Douglas dead) as well as aspects of “The Final Problem” involving Moriarty’s visit to Holmes at 221B Baker Street and an apparent fall to death which ends the film.
