'Justice League : New Frontier'
(Warner Home Video)
Back in the day some kinda meteor hit and “Black chunks of death filled the skies and the world became a chaotic garden of doom”. Thankfully the Justice League was formed at a time when “we need our heroes to stand up”. And stand up together is what they do, eventually. This is the story of how the Justice League was formed. Formed at a time when being a superhero just wasn't all that it's cracked up to be coz things had gone off the rails somewhat for those blessed/burdened with the 'powers'. Things are bad, Batman is a fugitive and Wonder Woman may well have lost her mind! Then there's The Flash and Green Lantern. Can Superman get them together to face the common foe? This movie is tres cool, a long way from lightweight comic-dom. I mean, y’know it's on for young and old when the animated story teller finishes the intro segment by putting down his animation brush and picking up a gun and painting the wall with his brains.

‘Dirt: The Complete First Season’
(Walt Disney Studios)
Glamourous models dazzled by paparazzi lightbulb flashes. Shallow Hollywood actors intercoursing with scheming journalists. Welcome to the intoxicating world of ‘Dirt’ and Lucy Spiller (Courtney Cox) - editor-in-chief of one of Hollywood’s most influential gossip magazines - ‘Dirt Now’. Throw in her schizophrenic paparazzo colleague Don Konkey (Ian Hart), who often steals the show with his enriching portrayal of man with a cruel and twisted disease and you have a series that sizzles. Though be warned, at times the dialogue drags and the camp aspect outruns the cheese factor. But isn’t that what you’re watching it for? Think a tabloid version of ‘Californication’.
