DVD Tuesday: Crawl and Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans

It's DVD Tuesday, what new releases are you getting?

I want to get Crawl, an action movie that has a woman trying to rescue her father while also trying to survive not only a hurricane but a large number of alligators. I also want to get Teen Titan Go! vs Teen Titans, where both sets of Titans team up to save the day.

I'm a big action movie fan, it doesn't matter if it's animated or live-action, as long as it has an interesting story, I'll watch it. I love that Crawl stars former Maze Runner movie actors Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper and the Titans movie features the original voice actors from the Teen Titans/Teen Titans Go! animated series.


Crawl

Description:

In the wake of a significant hurricane, a young woman (Kaya Scodelario) must embark on a quest to rescue her imperiled father (Barry Pepper). However, she finds herself unable to escape a house that rapidly floods and must contend with a horde of alligators.

Characters Reading: Raven (Teen Titans Go!)

I love Raven, she's the resident bookworm of the Teen Titans and in the Teen Titans Go! episode "I Used to be a Peoples", she was trying to read "Joy of Being Alone" in the park. However, her quiet time in the park didn't last long because she was constantly being interrupted by people, animals and things passing gas. Even though she used her powers to get rid of her distractions, soon even she became the distraction ruining her own reading time.

DVD Tuesday: Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and The Spy Who Dumped Me

Hey everyone good morning. I was wondering what new movies you were thinking of getting this week? I want to get Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and The Spy Who Dumped Me.

Teen Titans is such a fun movie I can't recommend it enough and if you haven't seen it yet please do. I don't think you will be disappointed. As for The Spy Who Dumped Me, I didn't see it when it was in theatres but it looks like it's a fun action comedy. Even though it's not included in this post, the Blu-ray edition of Batman: The Animated Series is also available today.


Teen Titans Go! To The Movies

Description:

A villain's maniacal plan for world domination sidetracks five teenage superheroes who dream of Hollywood stardom.

Characters Reading: Teen Titans (Teen Titans Go!)

I love watching Teen Titans Go!, the show has so many amazingly random and wacky episodes such as when Robin was trying to teach the Titans about real estate. But one of my favorite episodes is "Books" and in that episode Raven gave each of the Titans a book to read as a way to alleviate their boredom.

Starfire read a book about pelicans, Robin read The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin, Cyborg read The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi and Beast Boy read The Return of the Invisible Man. I was surprised that the writer included real book titles in this episode well all except for the book Beast Boy was reading. It's actually not a published book but the reworked title from the 1940s movie The Invisible Man Returns.

Weekend Film: Teen Titans Go! To The Movies

I remember when Teen Titans Go! first aired in 2013 on Cartoon Network for DC Nation, some fans were not happy they thought it looked like crap and thought it shouldn't be something so silly. But not me I thought it was great and so did lot of other fans. I feel like not everything associated with superheroes has to be dark and grim, what happened to fun and humor.

Teen Titans Go! is one of my favorite animated series, which is why I am so excited to see this movie. It's like a thank you to all the fans who gave the show a chance. I really can't wait to see it.

Toy Corner: Teen Titans Go! Action Figure Set

Teen Titans Go! 2 Inch 6-Pack Action Figure Set    $19.99


Toys are not just for kids, with a little creative thinking, these little action figures could easily look great as home décor especially with how cute and colorful they are.

You could stack Robin, Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Beastboy and Silkie together or separately on a bookcase/shelf. Or, if you have an entry way, you could place them on a side table in a cute tray. You could even use them as a nontraditional table center piece.

However, if there happens to be a little kid in your life who loves watching Teen Titans Go! animated series and would absolutely love this set then I guess they could even make great toys.

Book Review for the A-Z Title Challenge: Teen Titans Go! issue #36

Book: Teen Titans Go! issue #36 by J. Torres with illustrations by Todd Nauck

Edition: digital issue

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

This was a fun issue. Starfire's sister Blackfire had teamed up with the Gordanians to capture only the female members of the Teen Titans. In need of additional help, Robin called in some assistance from Wonder Girl.

The duo met up with Speedy and Kid Flash to wait for Cyborg, Beast Boy and Aqualad disable the alien space craft's force field so they can take the fight to the villains. Unfortunately, they were unable to complete the task and not to mention Cyborg was captured. Aqualad and Beast Boy were able to get away to meet up with the others who now needed a new plan to save their friends.

This was a fast moving interesting story that was a great way of introducing Wonder Girl to the Teen Titans Go! universe. The writer did a good job with keeping these characters in character, they each had the personalities they were given on the show. The writer also did a good job with presenting a Wonder Girl who is not only courageous and energetic but also upholds all the good things about the Amazons. However, she is also willing to take risks by leaving Paradise Island even though she's not supposed to.

Too bad this issue wasn't an episode of Teen Titans Go! because it that would have been awesome.

Side note: Why wasn't Beast Boy included on the cover, he helped too?

Currently Reading for the A-Z Title Challenge: Teen Titans Go! issue #36

I'm nearly finished with this challenge just a few more books to go. I used to love watching the original Teen Titans Go! animated series and a little disappointed that Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) was only shown as a cameo on the show. Which is why I was happy when I found this comic, it features Wonder Girl.

Book Review: Teen Titans Go! #1

Book: Teen Titans Go! #1

Rating: 5 stars

Review:

Sometimes you just want a funny comic to read and this was really funny. It's just like watching the cartoon series.

This first issue contains two stories:

"Food Fright" by Sholly Fisch with illustrations by Ben Bates

In this amusing story, the Titans were trying to find out who keeps stealing Cyborg's sandwich from the refrigerator. After interrogating each other and figuring out that none of them were the thief, Cyborg set a trap but turns out thief was someone/something that they least expected.

It was partially due to Raven, why they were now having to fight off a demonic pizza. They had a hard time going up against the pizza but in the end they found a way to defeat it.

This was funny.


"Par For The Course" by Merrill Hagan with illustrations by Jorge Corona and color by Jeremy Lawson

This story was even funnier than the first, in this second story the Titans were playing miniature golf. The problem started up with Robin and Beast Boy trying to settle a bet. Meanwhile, Raven and Starfire were bored with the game and decided to go to the arcade to try to win a prize before heading back to the game.

The bet between Robin and Beast Boy was getting out of control but Starfire had an idea to settle it. But from all the trouble and destruction that they caused, the owner banned them for life. You will laugh even more once you see who the owner is.


This was a joy to read. It was just so funny.
