Episode 58! Stu and Billy are back this week to discuss Justice League . Justice League is the 5th installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), and follows on from the events of Batman v Superman. The film is directed by Zack Snyder ( 300, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman ) and written by Chris Terrio ( Argo, Batman v Superman ) and Joss Whedon ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron ).

Enjoy! -Billy                        ...

Following the success of the Twilight adaptations, it was only going to be a matter of time before the market was flooded with other films looking to capitalising on the strength of their book following: an army of poorly made, heavily marketed and utterly inane films marching upon decent cinema. When I first saw the trailer for Beautiful Creatures I thought I knew exactly what I was going to get and just how bad it would be. I envisaged another useless teen gothic fantasy, with too many pretty young actors who couldn’t emote. It just looked ridiculous. So imagine my surprise when I caught myself thoroughly enjoying this film. Perhaps it was because my expectations were set so low that the film couldn’t be as bad as I had assumed it would be; or maybe Beautiful Creatures is a fun little film that benefits from a great script, fine performances and the fact it never takes itself too seriously.
