Superman and Lois 4x6 : When the Lights Come On review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. This weeks episode of Superman & Lois may very well be the most brutal and vicious yet. It opens up with Lex Luthor absolutely furious in his hotel room he is seen smashing up the room, punching the walls all to the point of making his knuckles bleed. After what happened with Doomsday at the end of last weeks episode he is clealy on edge and working on a new plan and said plan gets put into motion rather quickly in this episode. Back at the Kent farm we see that Johnathan has been working pretty hard and is flying all around the world helping people. Jordan isn't really okay with this and it leads to some minor tension with the brothers. As for Lois and Clark they're on reporter duty as they try to connect people to Luthor at the Gazette, people like Otis and other various employees.  It is not long into this episode when the main plot point is revealed t

Anora review

Image
  At first glance you'd be amiss to think that Anora is nothing more than a titalation expose and that is totally justified by the opening of this movie given the first thing we see is half naked women gyrating and grinding on men's laps. But Anora is far from a big sex blowout it is one of the most understated, tragic and awe insipiring movies you'll probably see all year. Mikey Madison is utterly sensational as Anora or Ani for short. She is a erotic dancer / prositute working at a club, one of the best money earners in said club her entire life changes when her boss pairs her with a young Russian man who is the son of a very wealthy family. What follows is a topsy turvey party filled with drink, drugs and plenty of sex leading to a marriage between the two young lovers which takes them from NYC to Las Vegas and beyond, as it goes on however something just doesn't feel or sit right with you and it all comes crashing down when the Russian family get involved attempting

Superman and Lois 4x5 : Break the Cycle review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. This weeks episode of Superman & Lois is a very much character driven episode and it's fantastic in that aspect. The episode opens up 17 years in the past as we see Lex Luthor with his then wife. She lambasts him and tells him that the marriage just is not working and it's all down to him and how cold he is. She asks for a divorce and in between the rest of this episode we get flashes to the past interwoven with present day goings on involving Lex and his daughter who plays a very important role in this episode. With everything going on and an impending Doomsday call just a press away Clark tells Lois that he is going to try and talk to Lex to try and reason with him. It goes about as well as you would expect with Luthor outright refusing the apology of Superman while questioning just how Lois managed to bring him back.  Doomsday is coming and it will be

Venom The Last Dance review

Image
  Who would've thought that Venom would get an entire trilogy but here we are at it's conclusion which ends with a stark warning of something far more sinister on the horizon. Tom Hardy returns as Eddie Brock / Venom and as with the previous two movies he carries this series on his back and is the only thing worth your time. This time around both symbiote and host are on the run after the previous move as they go from Mexico to Las Vegas and ultimately New York. Being hunted by the police and other agencies is the least of Venom's worries however when he learns that his creator is attempting to escape thr prison he and the other symbiotes imprisoned him in. So in a sense this movie doesn't have a direct villain so to speak it's more doing stuff from the shadows and while that idea is fine on paper on execution it really doesn't work all that much here as Eddie Brock has nobody to really bounce off of except the symbiote inside of him.  And boy oh boy do Eddie an

Superman and Lois 4x4 : A Perfectly Good Wedding review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Superman lives! at the end of last weeks episode we saw Superman open his eyes after receiving Sam Lane's Superman DNA infused heart. We see Lois at her father's grave only for Clark Kent to return home leading to a big embrace between him, Lois and the boys. With everyone overjoyed that Clark / Superman is back from the dead it does begin to show that he isn't quite the same Superman that he once was, after all he now houses the heart of a 60 year old man albeit infused with some Kryptonian DNA it just isn't the same and it shows when Clark brings Johnathan to do some flight training. Clark starts to feel himself slow down thus leading to him crashing into the snow and ice below. It's evident that he is nowhere near strong enough at least not yet.  For the first time this season we see Chrissy and Kyle in the fold and with their wedding day fast

Smile 2 review

Image
  It's very rare that the sequel of any movie is better than the original especially in the horror genre but with Smile 2 not only is it better than the original it elevates and expands on it's predecessor so much to the point where it makes the original look very small in comparison. Naomi Scott stars as Riley Skye a musician who after being in a life altering car crash is about to make a comeback with a worldwide tour. Her entire life is turned upside down when she witnesses a friend kill himself of front of her with the weight of a benchpress all while eerily smiling at her. Totally overwhlemed by the situation she asserts herself to remain focused on training and preparing for her tour but that mindset is quickly erased and in it's place is a full blown horrific nightmare that only she can see and witness.  First off Naomi Scott is fantastic here in what is arguably her best performance to date. She does everything, she sings (the soundtrack is really, reallt good by th

Superman and Lois 4x3 : Always My Hero review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The Death of Superman it's a historic storyline in not just DC Comics but all of comics. This the final season of Superman & Lois has chosen to adapt said storyline and after the beginning last week in what was a two part episode it cotninues here with episode 3 with Lois opening the episode by narration. She talks about losing the people who mean everything to you and how you go on in life. We also see both her and the boys seemingly attending a funeral on the Kent farm but it couldn't be Clark / Superman so who is it?? and what happened?? more on that a bit later. John Henry Irons and Natalie return in this episode and John feels horrible about not helping Superman even though he told him not to do so. He can't help but keep looking over the Doomsday footage while Natalie attempts to coax him out of that mindset. Things seem to be on the up for them
