The Invisible Man review

Image
Could you imagine living your life in constant fear knowing that your ex boyfriend who is also an abuser could very well be behind you at all times?? well that's what Elizabeth Moss's character Cecilia Kass has to deal with throughout this tense and atmospheric update of the classic story. The movie opens with Cecilia next to her boyfriend in bed. The following moments we see her plan out her escape from him as she does various things like drug him, turn off all the alarms etc. She eventually does make her escape and goes to live with a friend and his daughter. However the pain and trauma of being a victim of abuse is following Cecilia wherever shes goes. While staying with her friend she even finds it difficult to go out to the mail box. She's almost become frightened of going outside thanks to the life she's had to live thanks to her boyfriend's controlling behavior.  Elizabeth Moss is just fantastic throughout here. From the beginning right through until the

The Flash 6x13 : Grodd Friended Me review

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Oddly enough this week's episode of The Flash opens with Barry Allen walking along Central City with a bunch of flowers in hand. He drops them in a hurry as he gets an alert that a meta-human is attack Central City. Upon arrival to the location he is met with none other than Hartley Rathaway aka the Pied Piper. Who can now not only use his gauntlets to shoot out energy but he can now fly too. Oh but that's not the only bizarre thing to begin this episode. Even more odd is that in his ear The Flash can hear both Chester from the season 6 premiere and Kamilla Cisco's girlfriend and fellow reporter with Iris. They're manning the comms from Star Labs in almost like a twilight zone beginning to the episode. Everything was all out of whack. Back in the speed lab we see Barry tinkering with Gideon in a bid to find out more about the changes that he's seen. It turns

Legends Of Tomorrow 5x5 : Mortal Khanbat review

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Directed by none other than Caity Lotz this week's episode of Legends Of Tomorrow picks up almost right where last week's ended with an on the verge of death John Constantine. The episode starts with Ray, Charlie and Gary fading in and out view. They're all on the waverider as Constantine gets rushed to the Medical Bay where Gideon confirms that he has Lung Cancer and it's terminal. Constantine thinks none of this at the beginning and even lights up a cigarette almost like he's laughing at the face of death. Moments later he passes out thanks to a sedative provided by Gideon who says that John needs rest for the time being. Charlie is the main star of this episode however as while she is about to leave the waverider she begins to hear voices in her head saying things like ''you can't escape us'' among other things. Totally freaked out by

Supergirl 5x13 : It's a Super Life review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  100 episodes of Supergirl. Can you believe it? a milestone for any show to reach and with this the 100th episode of Supergirl we may have just gotten the very best episode this season. It begins where last week's ended with Mr Mxyzptlk showing up at Kara and Alex's door. Turns out that he is reformed now and has been travelling throughout time and space to right all those he done wrong. He even gives Kara a way of getting rid of him if needs be. What is he going to help Kara with?? well the thing that she's been struggling with all season and that's the choice she made by not telling Lena Luthor that she was Supergirl long before she found out thanks to Lex. So mainly this is like A Wonderful Life hence the title. It's a throwback episode that features a lot cameos, old moments and memorable events. Kara and Mr Mxyzptlk get to work but only can do it alone.

Batwoman 1x13 : Drink Me review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  This weeks episode of Batwoman begins with the introduction of the villain of the week. It's none other than a Vampire. An extremely seductive Vampire who drains the blood completely from her victims. Her victims are mainly those who occupy grimy bars in the seedy side of Gotham. With her actions getting more and more traction Kate gets word of the ongoings and deems herself the Vampire slayer by always saying she's wanted to slay a Vampire. Speaking of Kate after what happened last week with her having chosen Beth over Alice only for the before mentioned to end up getting killed anyway really looks like it's taken it's toll on Kate. She blames herself for what happened but in reality she made the right call it was just destined to not be. Back to the Vampire and she gets named Nocturna by Luke who aids Batwoman in putting her down and out. Upon first meeting Ba

The Flash 6x12 : A Girl Named Sue review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Since coming back after Crisis The Flash has felt like a different show in some aspects. The silly jokes have gone, the narrative is getting stronger and overall it's felt much more grounded. Well that continues here with another really solid episode. It begins inside of Iris and Barry's apartment where we see the two sitting down. Across the room inside of the mirror we see Iris where last week she was banging on the same exact mirror screaming at Barry. This week we actually see the other side of the mirror where Iris is and she is not alone. She is with Eva McCulloch who upon the night of the Particle Accelerator was blown into this mirror dimension thanks to it's force and Dark Matter. Inside this mirror dimension lies an entire Central City that is completely baron with nobody around to talk to or even see. This has lead to 6 years or so of isolation for Eva Mc

Legends Of Tomorrow 5x4 : A Head of Her Time review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Legends Of Tomorrow returns once more this time picking up right where last week's episode ended where we saw Constantine open a locked door in his house. Behind it lay the ghost / spirit of Astra's mom. With Charlie on the outside and Gary having showed up things don't appear to be going too well for Constantine as we hear him struggle with the spirit on the inside. Gary and Charlie worry on the outside as moans and groans of struggle can be heard. Gary casts a spell on the door unknowingly letting out the spirit into the rest of the house. The hunt begins.. back aboard the waverider we see Sara interrupt Ava in the bathroom. She tells her that he is now interim Captain as she has business to attend to in Star City. Zari can be seen listening in on the outside for no real reason really. Captain Ava takes her place aboard the ship and calls her first team meeting. N

Supergirl 5x12 : Back from the Future (2) review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Supergirl returns from it's hiatus with the second part of a double episode featuring Winn, Toy man and much more. The episode begins at a bar where we see everyone sharing some quality time together after thinking they've defeated Toy man and saved Winn's future. Winn talks about his Legion name which is Computer Lad (not so good that there Winn) William shows up after being invited by Kara and the two proceed to belt out Africa by Toto in Karaoke form. It's a really sweet and adorable scene much like a few seasons back when Kara too did Karaoke. While Kara and William are signing Alex mentions how she's placed some spyware on Lex as she still doesn't trust him. She has access to everything he is doing and not doing by the books when it comes to the DEO. Alex then gets a 911 call from the DEO. It's Brainy and he is under attack from some small dr

Batwoman 1x12 : Take Your Choice review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Batwoman return from it's semi hiatus and what an emotionally charged episode to return with. The episode begins with Jacob and Sophie talking to Doctor Campbell. The same doctor Mary asked for help a few weeks back. He agrees to help Jacob with his case after Jacob and Sophie agree to let him do tests on Mouse who is currently on 24/7 watch under lock and key at Gotham General. Before leaving the prison Jacob Kane gives Sophie an order. Take out Alice by any means necessary. This leads to checkpoints being place throughout the city as we see the Crows step up their security game. This causes problems for Mary, Luke and Beth however as they attempt to get out of the city and as far away from Alice as possible. Alice is yet to find out that Beth is the cause of her ongoing headaches and her coughing up blood but soon finds out that there is another version of her on this Ear

Sonic The Hedgehog review

Image
Upon it's initial reveal the beloved video game icon Sonic The Hedgehog's design from video game character to movie star did not sit well with fans. His design was way off. Gone was the bright open eyes and red & white shoes. In it's place was a more realistic looking Hedgehog that looked like something that was fan-made and not by a million dollar budget. After some time passed however another trailer dropped for Sonic The Hedgehog and it was spectacular. Gone was the freakish design and in it's place was a far more faithful design of Sonic. So what that in place could the movie actually be any good?? starring James Marsden and Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnick himself Sonic's big screen debut is a fun, emotion filled tale about friendship, fun and getting to know yourself better. First off there is Jim Carrey and he is perfectly cast as the mad genius that is Dr Robotnick also known as Eggman. He's hilarious, way over the top and a genius true and true. He i

The Flash 6x11 : Love Is a Battlefield review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  This week's episode of The Flash begins with Iris again in the secret lab of McCulloch Technologies. She stands up and looks back at the mirror which last week we saw her get dragged into. The next morning Barry is awoken to a giant breakfast spread by Iris including Pancakes that actually taste nice and freshly squeezed orange juice. The two discuss Valentines Day which is days away. Barry mentions how him and Iris have dinner reservations for Valentines and puts a reminder in for them. This leads to the both of them attending a fancy Italian restaurant where Iris surprisingly speaks Italian almost fluently which kind of shocks Barry. He asks her how she knows Italian but Iris just mentions she learned some phrases while on a case a few years back. It's right from this moment that both Barry and the audience know something is up with Iris. And it's not just her bei

Legends Of Tomorrow 5x3 : Slay Anything review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.  Legends Of Tomorrow has been on quite the roll post Crisis so far. Can it continue it's rich vein of form with this week's episode?? the episode begins in 2004 at Iron Heights where we see someone strapped to an electric chair about to executed. The man is asked does he have anything to say before the lever to release the electricity gets pulled. All he says is that he loves his mom who just so happens to be watching from behind the glass. The lever gets flipped and soon the man is killed almost instantly by the electric currents flowing throughout his body. His mom collapses in the room next door as we then see a coroner driving at night. In short he ends up getting killed by someone. A name tag is seen that says Freddy Meyers and back at the Waverider Ava recognizes that name instantly. Deemed the Prom Night Slasher Freddy Meyers killed countless of his high school

Birds Of Prey review

Image
In a sort of sequel to 2016's Suicide Squad Birds Of Prey is more of a spin-off than anything else as it tries to distance and separate itself from it's predecessor. Margot Robbie returns again as one Harley Quinn and after the events of Suicide Squad and her on going relationship with The Joker the two break up for good this time. The movie begins with Harley on a complete bender partying it up in Roman Sionis's club (this movie's villain) what follows is a madcap, mayhem filled romp of a movie that is one of the most enjoyable experiences you'll be sure to see all year long. At it's core Birds Of Prey is a Harley Quinn movie no doubt but there is a lot more here than just her. Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Helena Bertinelli the daughter of one of the richest family's in Gotham. She is way over the top, cold and constantly coming to terms what her actions and mission. Next up is Jurnee Smollett-Bell who takes on the roll of Dinah (Black Canary) Lance. Th
