Batwoman 3x12 : We're All Mad Here review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The penultimate episode of Batwoman's third season has come and gone and with it we got a look at what Marquis is really capable of, a change to Alice's origin and beginning point and Ryan and Sophie finally becoming an item? the episode opens up with Alice who we see steal the Joker buzzer and use it on herself. Everything seems to work accordingly and she becomes Beth Kane again, she even goes on trial and is declared sane therefore she is let out of custody and all charges dropped against her. Outside of the court she attempts to give Ryan the buzzer but it's completely drained and therefore won't emit and electrical pulse. Beth goes to her original gravesite where she was thought to be buried but she gets interrupted by Ocean who died back in season 2. He approaches her and says that she doesn't deserve a happy ending. He begins to cough blood

Legends Of Tomorrow 7x12 : Too Legit to Quit review

                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The penultimate episode of Legend of Tomorrow's seventh season has come and gone and it felt more like an actual ending to the show rather than anything else which was strange. The episode opens up with Gideon being rushed to the med bay after last time out we saw her get stabbed in the back (literally) by Robo-Astra, she is placed in the med bay but is refused any sort of medical attention as the ship and the evil version of Gideon is offline. Everyone agrees to get AI Gideon back online so that she can help the human version of herself to which she agrees to do much to her own dismay. She threatens the Legends before hand though as any wrong move or sort of betrayal and she will strip the ship of all of it's oxygen. So Gideon gets the medical attention she so needs and is restored to top tip form soon after. Both versions of Gideon agree to have a talk toge

Superman & Lois 2x5 : Girl...You'll Be a Woman, Soon review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Superman and Lois returns after a three week hiatus and last time out we got a pretty emotional and deep episode revolving around Lois and her sister Lucy. It also bright to light the threat of one Ally Allston who as we saw in the last episode is the leader of a group of people who believe in another life, something which she calls The Ascension. She is a serious threat, now ever more so after this episode given what happens at the end but more on that later. The episode begins with Ms Allston as a young girl, we're in Metropolis 1979 at the reading of her father's will and testament. It is here where Ally gets her hands on the pendant that Bizarro had in the last episode, the same pendant that now just so happens to be back in her care in present day. While at the will reading she is advised to follow in her dad's footsteps and continue his life's w

Death on the Nile (2022) review

Image
  I really enjoyed Murder on The Orient Express back in 2017 so imagine my surprise and excitement when I learned that not only was Kenneth Branagh was returning as master detective Hercule Poiror but with Death on the Nile arguably the most famous of Agatha Christie's work was to be adapted and made for the big screen, but can it be a faithful and mystery filled turn of events. Death on the Nile opens up in the midst of World War I. It is here where we learn just why Poirot has such an extravagant mustache. It turns out he was badly injured with one side of his face being caught in a blast fro the enemy. Also in this flashback we learn of his one true love who perished in a very similar blast and how Poirot failed his Captain. It's an interesting start but it just all goes down hill from here as the following hour or so is boring, bland and drawn out to the fullest extent. The first hour is mainly reserved for character introductions as the tension sort of builds as each chara

Uncharted review

Image
  Video game to movie adaptations have always been a see saw of quality. From the rather great Sonic and the more recent promising Resident Evil on the flip side there is also truly horrible adaptations like Doom and Monster Hunter. But with what is arguably Sony Playstations greatest franchise can Uncharted live up to it's giant game series?? the answer isn't a resounding yes but it's definitely a yes as Uncharted is bold, fast paced, funny and relentlessly entertaining from beginning to end. That's not to say it's without it's hiccups along the way but for the most part this is one of my favorite video game adaptations to date. Tom Holland and Mark Whalberg star as Nathan Drake and Victor (Sully) Sullivan respectively. Our journey begins with a young Nathan and his brother Sam who are descendants of Sir Francis Drake a famous sea captain, explorer, politician among other things. When Sam is forced to leave the orphanage both him and Nate are staying in after t

Batwoman 3x11 : Broken Toys review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Y'know I thought Batwoman was getting better. Slowly but surely but boy was I wrong as this episode was an overly complicated mess of a Joker wannabe and deep family emotions that while not horrible just don't come across as genuine given the disconnect between the characters and who they truly are. The episode begins as Batwoman and Mary who is now fully herself again learn that Marquis has escaped and is now back loose in Gotham City. Turns out he was actually in Mary's clinic which is where he escaped from as the water and destruction left behind by Ivy is still pretty prevalent. Speaking of Ivy and last weeks episode we learn from the radio that the city of Gotham is pretty much against Batwoman now after she was exposed by Jada last week as the one behind these new ''villains'' arriving in the city. She does have some time to turn it

Legends Of Tomorrow 7x11 : Rage Against the Machines review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Legends of Tomorrow returns for a new episode and it's actually the third last episode this season. This season has just flown by huh? after last weeks true return to form can this episode keep the trend going or sink back to mediocrity once again? the episode begins as the celebration of Sara and the Legends having changed history continues in the Fixed Point bar. Gideon is distraught by her actions and plan to alter history in such a way and Gwen who is sitting next to her feels somewhat the same way. Who doesn't feel the same way however is pretty much all the time travelers inside of the bar as the drink, yell and shout declaring that millions of lives have been saved by preventing the first World War. And while that may be true whatever replaces it could end up being just as bad if not worse. This is when Gwen tells the owner of the bar who we met last w

Superman & Lois 2x4 : The Inverse Method 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 and Lois is purely a Lane family drama episode and that's okay infact this episode is one of the best written and acted episodes yet to be honest. It begins 5 years in the past as we finally meet up with Lucy Lane again who we find out has been staying with Lois and the rest of her family which they don't say but surely it includes Clark and the boys. The two sister's relationship hasn't been great in modern day and even back here it's incredibly strained. The Lane sisters argue about Lucy's involvement with Ally Alston a woman who is leading a group called the Inverse Society which is basically a cult in simpler terms. At least that's what Lois thinks. And after exposing them as so in the past in present day someone is coming forward to retract their statement and info on the whole report done by Lois. Could
