Battle Of The Sexes review

Image
Battle Of The Sexes stars Emma Stone as Billie Jean King and Steve Carell as Bobby Riggs. It follows the true story of the tennis match between world number one King and ex champ and hustler Riggs in 1973. Having seen the trailer before going to see this I can say confidently that is in no way like the trailer. In fact the trailer gives off a whole other vibe to the movie. It makes it feel like a comedy and it really isn't. Sure there is some funny moments here and there but this is a drama and performance driven movie and boy are the performances really good. Emma Stone is just brilliant once again as Billie Jean King and she really is one of my favorite actresses working today. She's had this and her award winning role in La La Land all in not even one year. I actually think she'll get nominated once again for this because she really is that good in it. She plays world number one women's tennis champion Billie Jean King who along with her team are fed up of men g...

Legends Of Tomorrow 3x8 : Crisis on Earth X (4) review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The 4th and final part of what has been a really exciting and entertaining crossover begins right from where the last part ended. Professor Stein has been shot twice by nazi soldiers and while he did active the gateway for all the hero's to return home he is seriously hurt and can't move on his own. Jax merges with him and they go to the waverider where it's learned that the professor is in a very bad way and Jax is the only thing actually keeping him alive. He's like an anchor that just won't let go of it's cargo. As everyone leaves the room the professor awakens and asks Jax to let him take the cure that Cisco Harry and Caitlin made in part 1 of the crossover which will allow him and Jax's connection to the Firestorm matrix to break so both no longer need each other to live. Jax agrees after what was a really emotional scene and the professor drinks...

The Flash 4x8 : Crisis on Earth X (3) review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The 3rd part of the crossover begins practically right where the second part ended where all hero's are being held in a nazi prison camp and as they try to think of a way to escape and meet a new superhero named The Ray Captain Lance walks onto the site and while he isn't captain Lance here he is a no nonsense leader of the nazi force so I guess some things never change. Just as everyone is about to executed by soldiers Leonard Snart comes to the rescue of them all and his boyfriend the before mentioned Ray. Earth X's Snart is a whole lot of fun. Full of quick whips and just some hilarious moments he is my favorite character to come out of this crossover. Back on Earth 1 and in Star Labs Felicity and Iris hatch a plan to fight back and try to rescue their friends who are all trapped in the pipeline as Eobard Thawne Earth X Oliver and Overgirl begin their plan to op...

Arrow 6x8 : Crisis on Earth X (2) review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Part 2 of the crossover and it begins right where we left off after the reveals of who just was under the invaders masks. Skip to Star Labs and as Prometheus is unmasked it turns out to be none other than..Tommy Merlyn! yes a returning character from Season 1 but he isn't the Tommy that we remember as he is completely different. Corrupted and brainwashed to being completely faithful to the fatherland. Him and Oliver talk things out in what was quite an emotional scene up until Tommy completely tricks Oliver and tells him that this earth is weak and it will belong to him and his companions soon. Not seconds after he says this he kills himself right in front of Oliver who once again has to watch his bestfriend die. He really can't catch a break. Especially as in the last episode he somewhat proposes to Felicity who denies him and tells him that she wants to be with him but...

Supergirl 3x8 : Crisis on Earth X (1) review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. This year's crossover between Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends Of Tomorrow begins and while it isn't without some faults it is the most fun I've had watching a crossover between all shows since the original one 3 years ago. The episode begins as we are introduced to Earth X and it's inhabitants, hero's and villains populate this baron utopia that is set in a time where the Nazi's won the war and overthrew all other countries. We're first introduced to Oliver's mirror image of himself and he is a complete badass who shows no hesitation to kill as he flat out murders Earth X's version of Guardian also known as James Olsen. The episode really begins though with a brand new comic like intro for the crossover. It shows panels of all hero's and it was just a really nice touch. As things begin we see Barry fighting King Shark on the st...

Arrow 6x7 : Thanksgiving 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 begins as Oliver and the SCPD are doing a food drive to help the less fortunate and they managed to get enough food to feed over 1200 families. As he says this Agent Watson surfaces with two members of her security detail and arrests Oliver right on the spot of once again accusing him of being The Green Arrow right in front of his son William who Oliver tells everything will be fine. Later as he is in court he is let out on bail of 5 million dollars which he of course pays off (no idea how but okay?)  Onto Diggle and as Curtis injects him with his new prototype everything seems to be working fine as he himself says that his tremor seems to be evaporating even if slowly. Of course is this short lived as Dig and the team are hot on the tail of Black Siren and Cayden James who once again return working together to steal some materials from certain companie...

Legends Of Tomorrow 3x7 : Welcome to the jungle review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. The Legends return once again and this time we're right away dropped into the 1967's Vietnam war. As the episode begins we're shown that Sara is still in her coma from last week and Jax has been placed as the acting captain. Jax who still is trying to break up Firestorm with the professor. This goes on the back burner in this episode as the legends are informed of trouble during Vietnam in 1967 right in the middle of the war. When they arrive they split up into two teams as Ray Amya and Zari pretend to be journalists Mick and Nate pretend to be soldiers to blend in. This of course doesn't go to plan as they are found out by Mick's father of all people. Mick tells Nate that he has serious daddy issues and flat out murdered him years ago. Left him to burn and that is basically how he became Heatwave. Later in the episode they actually bond a lot together and ...
