NCIS: Los Angeles: Season 10 is still a solid series, though the usage of some deep conspiracies, mainly the disappearance of Hetty, in any case, I do like this ensemble cast and the dynamics between one another.
Batman & Robin is just an all around terrible movie and truly a corporate movie made to sell toys, but thankfully it did tank at the box office ushering in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Trilogy, but man this movie did not improve, even on the so bad its good level.
