The eight season of The Flash has come to a close and with it we got the final showdown between The Flash and Reverse Flash, the return of a loved one and a look at what's coming down the track. The episode begins right where last weeks ended as The Reverse Flash is re-born. With Iris dead the anger, frustration and sheer hatred he feels for Thawne comes to fruition even more here as he begins to use his lightning on him with a fierce look on his face. Barry's kids Nora and Bart show up and tell him to stop that by doing this it'll make him no better than Reverse Flash. Barry stops but Thawne promises to kill everyone that Barry loves including his children. We're soon back at Star Labs as after talking with Bart and Nora we learn that this version of Thawne is the last in existence which was quite shocking truthfully. He's never truly gone but af

The second season of Superman and Lois has come to a close and with it we got complete and utter destruction of Ally Alston and her power, an intriguing new narrative to do with John Henry Irons for the future and a look at what's to come for Clark Kent, Superman and the rest of the Kent family. The episode opens up with a message from Chrissy as she tells everyone to remain home and stay with their families. It's a move that while comforting it's really got no use for everyone as the Earth still fades in and out of existence as Ally continues her merging process. People begin to swap places as Lois vanishes before turning up on the Bizarro world while her other half turns up at the Kent farm essentially swapping places. It's not just Lois who vanishes either as her dad does too and even Kyle Cushing a bit later on. At the end of last weeks episode we

  Child abduction. It's a truly terrifying thing to even think about but with this new horror movie from director Scott Derrickson. It tells the chilling story of a child kidnapper who is called ''The Grabber'' he's almost like a boogeyman of the area with tales of him being told between children at the local school. It's a pretty small town and word travels fast as the legend grows and the body count of missing children gets higher and higher things soon take an even more sinister turn when The Grabber's latest victim actually fights back or at least attempts to. The Black Phone is a dark and twisted horror / thriller. It does take quite a bit to get going which is the only real complaint I had with the movie as a whole. The opening 30 or so minutes is a bit of a slog but it does build on it's characters well which plays into you caring about them later.  Ethan Hawke who plays The Grabber is truly terrifying in his role. He's far too calm to the

  The King of Rock & Roll. The greatest selling solo artist of all time Elvis Presley. It was only a matter of time before he got his very own biopic right? well Elvis has arrived and it's full or razzle-dazzle and lots of stylistic moments. Directed by Baz Lhurmanm Elvis tells the incredibly story of Elvis Presley including the many highs and lows of his extraordinary life and musical career. Right off the bat Lhurmann's style of constant cuts and quick edits becomes almost unwatchable in an opening 40 or so minutes that is quite frankly pretty painful to watch, there is no time for anything to settle as cuts and flashes fly across the screen second after second. It soon mellows out and it is here where Elvis gets the love, attention and detail he deserves. This is very much a movie of two halves with the second and third act in particularly are just sublime with great performances and storytelling, not to mention the transformation of Elvis from young promising star to La

The penultimate episode of The Flash's 8th season has come and gone and with it we got a shocking death, the return of a foe and a new speedster is born. The episode begins in 2049 with Nora and Bart whom we see playing a VR type game. They are interrupted by Iris on a video call as they speak about Nora's journalist ordeals and Bart's lack of studying time for school. They get interrupted again by Iris but this Iris is very much in the same room as them and is actually from 2022. Nora and Bart attempt to travel back in time to 2022 to bring Iris home but are stopped by a big wall of Still Force energy. For now Iris will have to stay put and try to figure things out. Back in 2022 and we're with The Flash and new Speedster Meena Dhawan whom The Flash names Fast-Track. The two stop to talk where Flash reveals his identity to her which is something I'

                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 for its final two episodes of the season. It begins where we left off as Superman is still in pretty bad shape. He is still at the hospital with Lois by his side. He is soon seen waking up as we transition to Clark arriving home with Lois and a reunion with the boys. As it turns out however his power loss is far worse than imagined and he is very much without his powers this entire episode and seemingly beyond. After a trip to the Fortress of Solitude to ask his mom about his powers Clark learns that his cells have been altered and damaged to such an extent that he may have to wait just as long as he did when he first arrived on Earth. How long was this? 4 years which obviously is far too long to be waiting for his powers to return. This leaves John Henry Irons, Natalie and Jordan as the only real line of defense against Ally, her followers

                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. At the end of last weeks episode of The Flash we were introduced to a new speedster. This weeks episode opens with her narrating, her name is Meena Dhawan and unlike The Flash her speed is totally artificial. Each time she powers up she has under 4 minutes. She is training with The Flash that is until she hits him with her lightning which knocks Flash right out stopping him in his tracks. Her speed and lightning is a lot different to his and it's something that needs to be worked on. We're with Cecil next as she is depositing money at a bank when 3 criminals burst into the bank with weapons. Everyone stands down except Cecil who gets a serious power bump here. Her powers now include her being able to transfer other people's emotions from them to another person. Her eyes glow with power as she manages to defuse the situation just as police officers arrive

                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The Flash returns from a small hiatus and what a surprising episode to come back with. The episode opens up with a break in at Ivo Labs. The Flash arrives on the scene and is quite dumbfounded when he is told that a speedster was already there having stopped a potential fire and saved the workers inside. Looks like there is a new speedster in town and Barry is immediately worried. We see Barry talking to Joe about the whole situation and given what is going on between Iris, Caitlin and everything else having another speedster in town is the last thing he needs on his plate which is ever growing at this point. The real highlight of the episode is up next however and that is in the form of Alegra which is something I never thought I'd say as to be honest Alegra has never been a standout for me. At least not in this sense.  Alegra is the interim in chief of Central

                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. This season of Superman and Lois is wrapping up at a blistering pace with now only 2 episodes remaining. After last weeks enjoyable but not quite up to the standard we'd previously seen can this weeks episode return to true form? the episode opens up 5 years in the past as we see Ally Alston hosting a book signing. None other than Lucy Lane is present and this in turn leads in to their relationship as Ally and Lucy begin to talk and almost immediately grow closer and closer together. Lucy is easily put under Ally's spell so to speak and throughout the episode we get various flashbacks in time which are a complete contrast to the relationship between Ally and Lucy in present day. Speaking of Lucy we see that Lois and her father have located Lucy and the rest of Allys followers who are staying at an abandoned cottage all awaiting her to return even though she&#

                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 from it's hiatus and the last time we saw this show Clark Kent revealed himself as Superman to long term friend Lana. It was one of my favorite moments from this entire show and proved just why this show is so good. So picking up where it left off we see Lana and Clark talking. Lana talks about how Clark disappeared as her and their friend Pete was saved by someone, of course this was Superman at the time which explained Clark disappearing. Lana in a pretty unconventional twist is pretty angry at Clark here before storming off of her own. We're soon back with Lana though and it's clear that she still has feelings for Clark as we see various memories of her and Clark / Superman. She is heavily distracted by all of this and not to mention her new position as Mayor of Smallville which is a big implication for her decision at the end
