When I popped Justice League Dark into my Blu-ray player, I was greeted by the MPAA's "R" rating. It gives the wrong impression. This enjoyable story showcases a number of lesser-known heroes from the DC Universe and isn’t going to raise controversy. It could’ve easily been trimmed down to a PG-13 rating with a few creative edits. One can't help but feel like it was pushed into "adult" territory solely as a marketing ploy.
A series of bizarre incidents around the world brings Batman (voiced by Jason O’Mara) to recruit magical heroes (or would-be heroes) together. Hopefully, the Dark Knight, along with occultist John Constantine (Matt Ryan), magician Zatanna (Camilla Luddington), ghostly Deadman (Nicholas Turturro), and demon-possessed Jason Blood/Etrigan (Ray Chase) can track down the sinister entity behind it all.
I should begin by mentioning that while DC Comics favorite Swamp Thing (voiced by Roger Cross) is in the film, it’s more of a cameo. The Blu-ray cover is misleading. The character’s inclusion is somewhat puzzling, but I could see him taking on a bigger role in the next chapter, or perhaps his own DC Animated Original film (let’s hope) so I'll let it slide for now.
Justice League Dark features the same level of animation as the other recent direct-to-home video films from Warners Bros. Animation/DC Entertainment. It’s not movie quality, but it's good for a direct-to-video feature - though not as good as when this series began. That’s perfectly fine. What it does with its budget is quite impressive. There’s a big battle between the team of heroes and a familiar villain (I won’t say who) that showcases what you can do with both magical characters and a medium that is free from the limitations of stunt people and living actors. Another pro is the cast. While some characters are more developed than others, the film keeps up the excitement and tension by featuring a crew of B-listers. Since we’re not guaranteed a Justice League Dark 2 and few would call Deadman or Jason Blood a favorite, you’re never quite sure where the action scenes are headed. Sure, Batman is safe, but the other ones? They could die!
Less effective is the film’s climax and central mystery. It’s not bad, it’s just that 75 minutes isn't long enough to bury the obvious suspect beneath red herrings and other distractions. We could’ve also used more explanations/clarifications for some of the game-changing actions that take place during the last act. As has been the trend for several of these past films, Justice League Dark would've greatly benefitted from even just a few minutes more.
It’s pretty clear Batman has been included on this team solely to sell the film to the people who are not already familiar with the likes of Zatanna, Swamp Thing, and Constantine. It certainly isn’t because the story or other characters aren’t interesting enough on their own. While some behind-the-scenes aspects of Justice League Dark are puzzling and the story could be expanded further, I’d be enthusiastic to see a sequel. This one is worth checking out if you’re a fan of DC's ongoing series of animated films. (On Blu-ray, June 28, 2017)

Aaliyah attends the 6th annual MTV ROCK N JOCK Basketball charity event at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California.
There are two teams; Bricklayers (who is the traditional winning team) and the Violators; Aaliyah was on the Bricklayers team. The first half of the game, the Bricklayers team was dominating with a score of 42-16. The second half came in really close, 94-90 (Bricklayers winning).
The two teams consisted of music figures (such as rap artist Warren G, R&B; singer Aaliyah, and Spinderella, the deejay for rappers Salt-N-Pepa), Actors (such as Linda Fiorentino of “The Last Seduction,” and Nicholas Turturro of “NYPD Blue) and even Olympian Lisa Leslie along with Harlem Globetrotters Paul “Showtime” Gaffney and Arnold “A-Train” Bernard.
The event raised $50,000 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which supports 170 houses in 13 countries.

Nicholas Turturro, renowned for his role in NYPD Blue, reflects on his acting career and the motivation behind transitioning from a successful 10-year stint as a doorman and server. During this period, he formed friendships with celebrities, including Billy Joel. The actor acknowledges a degree of fascination and confusion regarding his shift but remains committed to embracing others and sharing his success in the acting realm.
The woman who officer Nick (Nicholas Turturro) hits on while he's drunk is Jackie Sandler, Adam Sandler's wife, who also appeared in the first film as the Victoria's Secret cashier.
Have you ever watched Euphoria? Is so do you have any thoughts on the acting on that show? I always here mixed reviews.
I watched the first episode and half of the second one, but really didn't like the show, unfortunately! I might try and give it another go though – I was looking through the nominations and realised I'd actually seen almost everything in the 'main' categories this year, so might try and watch the few I haven't over the next two months before the awards. It's what I usually do for the Oscars, and I love getting a sense of what's being acknowledged and awarded and feeling the stakes a bit, haha.
