			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a little downtime has allowed me to catch up on movies and other distractions.  Since there are no girls around to scare away, I&#8217;ve been indulging my love of comic book-inspired animation.  I&#8217;m psyched by what I&#8217;ve discovered.</p>
<p><em><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-119" title="wonderwoman" src="http://joelt.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/wonderwoman-235x300.jpg" alt="wonderwoman" width="235" height="300" />Wonder Woman</em> &#8212; I&#8217;ve never really identified with the iconic, unstoppable heroes DC has offered (except for Batman), and I&#8217;ve always related much better to Marvel&#8217;s scrappy underdogs and misanthropes.  However, I&#8217;m starting to come around.  While the straight-to-video animation isn&#8217;t exactly amazing, <em>Wonder Woman</em> works well in every other way.  Clean storytelling and punchy dialogue support a great origin tale that delves deeply into Greek mythology.  Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion revisit their honest and amusing <em>Waitress</em> chemistry to deliver some enjoyable voice work, as does the rest of the solid supporting cast.  All in all, it&#8217;s a really good film, animated or otherwise.  DC should be commended.  This one is worth owning.</p>
<p><em>Green Lantern: First Flight</em> &#8212; Here we go again&#8230;  Yup, it&#8217;s DC.  And yup, it&#8217;s good.  <em>Wonder Woman </em>might be slightly better, but this is pretty close.  Again we have a solid story and great voice acting, especially from Victor Garber.  It&#8217;s well-done.  It&#8217;s fun.  Despite my love for Marvel, I can&#8217;t help but recommend it.  Damn you, DC.</p>
<p><em>The Invincible Iron Man</em> &#8212; While it&#8217;s not quite up to par with what DC has been offering, I enjoyed it.  I&#8217;d recommend it along with <em>Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme</em> as one of Marvel&#8217;s best.  Check it out.</p>
