D.C.Reviews

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns after it's winter break and with it brings us many interesting and always developing story lines to look forward to in the weeks from now until the end of the season.  The episode begins as we see Captain Gordon out and about looking for Harvey Bullock as he really wants him to rejoin the GCPD and become his partner against crime again. He visits gentlemen clubs and bars among many other places. Soon after as Jim is getting into his car 2 guys and a girl are seen walking down an alley which leads into the shop that we last saw Ivy in. The place where she drank all those toxic potions that seems like an age ago now if I'm being honest. As the 3 people investigate they notice a giant cocoon laying dormant in the middle of the room with a body of some sort inside of it. But dormant it doesn't lay not for long as Ivy awakens from the cocoon before k...

I've always been a big admirer of Guillermo Del Toro. He has given us many wonderful and exotic experiences over the years and with this movie he might have just given us his masterpiece. The story follows a janitor named Eliza played by Sally Hawkins. A mute woman who finds herself sharing an apartment with an older gentleman named Giles played by Richard Jenkins. Eliza lives a pretty boring life as we're shown at the beginning. She gets up has her breakfast does various other things and leaves to go to work only to repeat the process the next day. But one day at the facility where she works a new 'experiment' turns up complete with a new form of security detail the main officer played by Michael Shannon. Eliza takes a shine to the creature after she is called into the aquarium like room to clean it up after a freak accident involving the creature and Shannon's character. That's the story in a nutshell but it is explored and developed in a way that I've ...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it After last weeks brilliant episode it was always going to be hard to follow it up this week but with that being said this week's episode is still an enjoyable venture into pirate times and beyond. The episode begins as right away we're brought into 1717 Bahamas where we see Captain Blackbeard and his crew on the search for some treasure. While his crew dig up the soil he offers his female companion a green shaped emerald. This causes a curse to come over her and this leads to the destruction of the crew but Blackbeard manages to escape. More on this situation later.

Mick enters and says that Sara is going to Star City present day as she has a date with Ava (Agen...

I've always believed that movies are at their best when they are simple in not only the tone characters and setting but in it's story and Lady Bird has all those in spades.Written and directed by Greta Gerwig Ladybird tells the story of an artistically inclined 17 year old girl (Saoirse Ronan) living in Sacramento California. As I said the premise is pretty simple and that is why this movie shines. Saoirse Ronan once again proves she is a really talented actress almost lighting up the screen whenever she appears. She's funny charming and so easy to connect with as a character. Speaking of her character the journey that she goes on throughout the movie is also really good and all credit must go to not only Saoirse Ronan but Greta Gerwig who has crafted a really beautiful movie. Not only is this a journey for Ladybird but also for her family as her father falls on difficult times it's up to her mother to provide for the family and the relationship she and her daught...

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it This show does it again. It gives us another amazing episode filled with plenty of hilarious moments and one or two nice little life lessons. The episode begins normal enough as Zari is working on a new simulation  programme for the waverider and as she installs it Gideon crashes. This is when the legends return to the bridge all dressed in Disco getup. This is where the episode really begins though as Zari and Sara argue over Zari not doing her job right and Ray who says later that he is afraid of Sara butts in only to be knocked out by Sara which was just hilarious. As Zari leaves in anger she goes to the engine room only to kick start an explosion that blows up the waverider killing everybody on board or has it? we're brought right back to the moment just a few moments earlier where Sara and Zari argue more and this leads to Zari finding out that she is stuck in a never en...

Marvel Studio's latest entry into the MCU brings us Black Panther. This movie is at it's best during it's many varied and compelling actions sequences and at it's worst during it's proposed 'comedic' moments which while some are funny others didn't even fail to raise a grin on my face. The story begins pretty much after Captain America Civil War, Wakanda a supposed war torn country's king has fallen and now it falls to his son Prince T-challa to rise up and claim the thrown and the gift of the Black Panther that's pretty much the story and while it's filled with one or two plot twists that are a bit predictable aside from one really big plot twist that had me going like huh? well that certainly makes things more interesting it is still an enjoyable watch and certainly one of the most unique MCU movies to date especially in it's scenery which at times is absolutely spectacular. Chadwick Boseman is really good as the lead and carries t...
