The Manitou (1978) starring Tony Curtis, Michael Ansara, Susan  Strasberg, Burgess Meredith, Stella Stevens

Justice League: War, starring the voice talents of Sean Astin,  Michelle Monaghan,  Shemar Moore,  Jason O’Mara,  Alan Tudyk,  Steve Blum, among others

I recently reviewed Batman/Superman: Public Enemies, and I was pleasantly surprised.  Not only was the artwork and the voice acting excellent, the writing and characterizations were spot on.  I cannot say that for Justice League: War.  And it made all of the difference in the worst way.

Editorial review of A&E Biography €“ Humphrey Bogart, courtesy of Amazon.com

Pictures studio lot as a character actor.
