If you’re not watching this show, start. The theme of “fear of the unknown” and “hate what you don’t understand” are not new. I’ve compared The Nevers to Marvel’s X-MEN before and for good reason. People with supernatural abilities are looked at as ungodly and are persecuted because of it. The Touched are no different. In this episode, we see those fears culminate into chaos … Continue reading The Nevers (2021) Episode 5
Warner Media knew my birthday was March 18th and released the Snyder Cut as a gift. OK, that’s a load of bullshit but a man can dream. Seriously though, this film is a cinematic milestone for both fans and Warner Bros. It is a far cry from its predecessor from 2017 simply titled Justice League. This is worth the 4 HOUR run-time, I promise you. … Continue reading Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021) Review
I love this series! Shadow & Bone is an amazing tale told in eight episodes. It’s about a giant magical border made of darkness, that divides a country. Factions compete for power and territory until an army grunt, Alina Starkov, discovers her ability to create light. This shifts the political landscape, as many believe she is the key to bringing down “the shadow fold.” The … Continue reading Shadow & Bone (2021-) Review
I want more monster fights and less humans! Millie Bobby Brown is great but did not need to be in this movie. Her little “side mission” with her friend from school and the strange man off the internet was reminiscent of The Goonies. Yet added nothing to the overall story. GvK (Godzilla vs. Kong) is the fourth film in the monster franchise, starting with Gareth … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Kong (2021) Review
Ben Falcone needs to stop directing. Period. Thunder Force is a cute parody of the superhero genre. However, it’s riddled with terrible dialogue, enough cheesiness to clog an artery, and poor world building. Emily Stanton (Octavia Spencer) was not relatable whatsoever. She was setup to be a wealthy genius inventor, but had poor security, and only three employees. While Lydia Berman (Melissa McCarthy) played the … Continue reading Thunder Force (2021) Review
The Touched grieved after losing one of their own. It was an especially sad affair for Inspector Mundi, who had a history with the departed. This man just cannot get a break, I wonder how long before he snaps. An unseen benefactor attempted to provoke the Orphanage into an act of aggression. Since their ranks have increased, the citizens of London have gotten more paranoid … Continue reading The Nevers (2021) Episode 4
This is the best Godzilla movie I’ve ever seen. Period. It’s a return to form for the franchise. The titan was presented in a surprising and unconventional way. Instead of having giant reptilian scales, the exterior of the creature is rocky and volcanic. It was very alien and reminded me of John Carpenter’s The Thing from 1982. Can you say destruction? I haven’t seen a … Continue reading Shin Godzilla (2016) Review
I think the last animated property to make me cry was Pixar’s Up. Well that’s no longer the case. Invincible, based on the books by Image Comics, is a galvanizing story! One that will keep you wanting more but weary of the outcome. I can’t see this being adapted to live action and having the same effect. The voice talent in this show are top … Continue reading Invincible (2021-) Review
This is my favorite episode so far. It is also the reason I love Bonfire Annie (Rochelle Neil). Not only is she gorgeous but a lone wolf with ambition. Known for her alliance with the psychotic Maladie (Amy Manson) and her ability to create fire. Annie is caught attacking a shipment of the Beggar King (Nick Frost) by Amalia and Penance. The two scuffles with … Continue reading The Nevers (2021) Episode 3
The finale has arrived along with Sam’s debut as Captain America. After a public execution and shield shaming from Bucky, he’s taken on the mantle. I have to say this episode wasn’t very entertaining to me. The story was predictable, especially with the identity of The Powerbroker. This episode mostly served as a launch vehicle for season 2 and villains that may appear in later … Continue reading The Falcon & Winter Soldier (2021) Episode 6
