Superman and Lois 4x3 : Always My Hero review

Image
  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 when General Lane wants them at the D.O.D on a full time basis which does prevent them from going to Metropolis at lea

Superman and Lois 4x2 - A World Without review

Image
  We're going back to back with the first two episodes of Superman and Lois season 4 as it's premiere is a double bill. At the end of the first episode we saw Superman ultimately fall in battle to Doomsday who was working exclusively for Lex Luthor. Speaking of Lex Luthor he is very heavily involved this season and it makes everything just that little better. This version of Lex Luthor is something special as he is truly evil. All he sees is vengeance for what happened to him at the hands of Lois and Clark. This episode he is something else in a moment that is utterly heartbreaking...literally. This episode opens up with Jordan being told by Lois to bring Superman's lifeless body to the Fortress of Solitude. Jordan does as he is told and rbings his dad to the Fortress where he is placed in something called suspended animation. It's something similar to what he was in when his pod was sent to Earth when he was a baby.  At the Fortress and Jordan learns that Superman has

Superman & Lois 4x1 : The End and the Beginning review

Image
  Superman and Lois's final season has finally arrived and after what seemed like an age away it picks up right where season 3 ended. Superman vs Doomsday, it's a battle of the titans a battle too big for the Earth alone and it proves that when they end up dukeing it out on the moon. While that fight is on going back on Earth and Lex Luthor's plan of vengeance against Lois, Superman and her family is in full swing as not only has he had General Lane kidnapped by Mercy and Otis Graves he is hellbent on getting Lois out of the reporting game once and for all. Not only that be has also moved in to the hotel across from the Smallville Gazzette, he has an eye on Lois pretty much at all times. With all of that going on Lois begins to remenise about her past with Clark. We get some truly great scenes of the two interacting very early on in their relationship from the first time to together to Lois giving birth to the boys. It's all classic Superman and Lois and I loved it.  Le

Joker Folie à Deux review

Image
  Back in 2019 Joker was unleashed to the world. It was the performance of a lifetime by Joaquin Pheonix that not only claimed him every single acting accolade but the movie also drew in over 1 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Fast forward 5 years and a sequel has finally arrived so will it live up to it's now infamous predecessor?? Arthur Fleck now incarirated after killing 5 people in the first movie is awaiting trial for his violent, vicious crimes. He doesn't talk or interact with anyone in prison only to sometimes maybe tell a joke to get a cigarette in return. Arthur's entire life and purpose changes when he meets one Lee Quinzel while in a music theraphy class. A broken, mishapen tale of love, deceit and heartbreak follows in what was certainly not the traditional Joker and Harley Quinn chemistry or pairing.  Music. We all love it, it speaks to people on so many levels so when this movie was announced to be a musical at first I was very skeptical myself b

The Substance review

Image
  The art of body horror is quite an aquired taste. It's certainly not for everyone and that pretty much sums up The Substance which is arguably the grossest movie you will see all year. Starring Demi Moore, Dennis Quaid and Margaret Qualley The Substance is a visceral, shocking and at times pure adrenaline filled cinema. The story follows Demi Moore's Elizabeth Sparkle who once was the brightest of stars in Hollywood and LA. Time hasn't been kind to her however and as she has gotten older her image has faded leaving her with next to nothing. Her entire life changes however when she his in a car accident and once she is out of hospital she finds a mysterious memorystick in her pocket with the name of The Substance on it. Once she goes home and sees what it's all about she is almost instantly hooked leading to a wild rollercoaster of a movie.  Once The Substance is taken by Elizabeth Sparkle a younger more capable version of herself is born and when I saw born I really m

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review

Image
  The original Beetlejuice felt like an acquired taste. It was a whole lot of fun inventine storytelling but it just didn't do much for me when I first saw it a number of years ago. It's now 2024 and Michael Keaton returns to don the vibrant suit and wig well over 30 years later. Directed once again by Tim Burton Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is a fun trip into the afterlife and beyond. After the events of the original movie Winona Ryder's character Lydia Deetz is now a paranormal investigator with her very own TV show. She has a daughter named Astrid but her world is turned upside down when her father dies and she and her family go back to the house where the original movie took place to lay him to rest.  What follows is pure Beetlejuice madness as while everything with the Deetz family is going on Beetlejuice has problems of his own as his ex wife has been put back together so to speak. She's vowed revenge and is on his tail for the most part of the movie. As young Astrid g

Alien : Romulus review

Image
  The original Alien movie is a sci-fi classic no doubt about it. It was a genre defining movie. It's now 2024 and along comes Alien Romulus which is more of a sequel to the original than it is a prequel or standalone entry. Cailee Spaney leads the charge as a young woman living in space on a colonized planet. She is all alone apart from an synthetic humonaid that her father programmed to aid her. All she wants is to get off her planet and experience the warmth of the Earth's sun on her face as it sets. Her luck maybe soon about to change then when a few of her friends come up with a way to get off the planet via cryo stasis. But is all as good as it seems?? Right off the bat it's clear to see that Alien Romulus has been crafted with such love and care by all involved. Every frame is special. It feels so incredibly perfect and right. It's like slipping back into the original Alien's spacesuit. As for the Aliens themselves they are absolutely terrifying ini such tigh
