Legends Of Tomorrow 4x11 : Seance & Sensibility review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. A funeral, sex, a musical number and some laughs this episode of Legends Of Tomorrow is an interesting one to say the least. Beginning with Constantine,Mick, Ray and Sara going to pay their respects to Nate's dad after his demise last week. Ray says he can't face Nate and wonders from room to room before dodging an encounter with his friend. He eventually ends up in the same room as Constantine who says he can feel an energy in the room. Ray then makes his way to the bathroom where after hearing some noises removes a shroud from the bathroom mirror and surprisingly sees Nora standing before him. She says that she didn't kill Nate's dad, overcome with joy that she's innocent (even though it's not been proven) Ray suggests she come meet him and they do end up meeting on the waverider. Speaking of the waverider aboard we see Charlie trying to coax the wolf o...

Hellboy review

Image
Being the next Hellboy movie after not one but two great movies by Guillermo Del Toro as the director and Ron Pearlman as the demonic beast was never going to be easy to follow. With this version of Hellboy this time around portrayed by David Harbour we're given a much stronger delve into the comics side of the character. The story revolves around an ancient sorceress called The Blood Queen played by Milla Jovovich. After terrorizing the land and unleashing all sorts of monsters upon the world from ghouls to demons she ends up getting slain by King Arthur and Merlin. She is not only beheaded but is cut into pieces with each limb placed in a box before being sent away to never be discovered. And it's soon after this were the movies biggest problem begins. It's villain or should I say villains as they just aren't engaging enough for me to want to really root for Hellboy and his band of misfists to kick the crap out of. Milla Jovovich is fine as the Blood Queen but she ...

Legends Of Tomorrow 4x10 : The Getaway review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. A runaway RV, legends lies outed and a heck of a lot of hilarious and dramatic moments this week's episode of Legends Of Tomorrow had it all. Beginning in Orlando 1973 we see Richard Nixon giving a speech. He starts by saying that he's a sleazebag and that he's a bad person. Usually he's lying threw his teeth as history tells but all of a sudden he's spilling the truth pretty hard. Aboard the waverider we see the legends watching his speech. They decide to go to Orlando 1973 to see exactly what is causing this sudden bout of truth telling and why. Sara and Ray dress up as doctors and get into the room where Nixon is without any real trouble which was silly but when they get there they do see that he is struck down with a truth telling complaint. Charlie enters the room and is asked to stay in the room, transform into Nixon and wait for Sara & Ray to come ...

Shazam! review

Image
Meet  Billy Batson a young boy who at a very young age got separated from his mom at a county fair. Time passes and after his mom never returned to find her son Billy is placed into foster home after foster home each time running away to try and look for his real mom. The first time we see Billy at age 14 is after he tricks some cops so he can use the database inside one of their cars to track a license plate number that he reckons belongs to his mom. The search continues until he is placed in a new foster home. A group foster home with 4 kids, one grown up and 3 others to keep him company. Special shout out has to go to Freddie who becomes really good friends with Billy. He represents the nerd in all of us perfectly. Oddly enough though Shazam! doesn't start with Billy's story but rather with the villain's origin. The would be Dr Sivanna who is played by Mark Strong. It is a young Sivanna who firsts interacts with The Wizard who grants Billy Batson the power from his...

Legends Of Tomorrow 4x9 : Lucha de Apuestas review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Legends Of Tomorrow finally returns after what has seemed like an age away. Beginning with Sara and Ava who learn of Mona's deception and plan to help the Konane (the werewolf / demi god creature) break free from the Time Bureau's clutches. Last time we saw her Mona ended up getting badly injured by the creature and first time we see her here she is in a hospital bed. Her parents walk in and argue how she's always in a fantasy world of her own. They walk out of the room arguing and this is when Gary walks in who had been sent by Ava to apprehend Mona. Gary says he's sorry and pulls out the memory eraser that the Time Bureau use. He is just about to flash Mona when she grabs it off of him and uses it multiple times on him. She tells him to take her place in the hospital bed before making her escape. On the outside she notices someone watching her from a distance. ...

Supergirl 4x17 : All About Eve review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Of course after the high's of last week this week's episode of Supergirl was never going to live up and continue the incredible standard set by the Red Daughter's origin episode. That's not to say this isn't a bad episode because it isn't but compared to the last 4 weeks or so it definitely feels a lot more stock. Beginning in Lena Luthor's office we see DEO agents rush in and find her out of it. Next to her is a letter with her name on it which we saw being placed by Eve at the end of last week's episode. Alex opens the letter and see's that it's from Lex Luthor. Lena comes to moments later and is met by Alex. At J'onn's PI office we see him and Supergirl talking. And it's through J'onn that I got the most enjoyment out of this episode besides the ending which I'll get to. J'onn struggles with his identity throug...

Arrow 7x17 : Inheritance review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Finally after weeks of waiting we are treated to an Emiko origin episode. Starting with a young Emiko who we see walking down a hallway to her apartment home. We hear a familiar voice arguing with a woman. It's Robert Queen who tells young Emiko that she and her mother will have to go someplace else. Upset by this Emiko asks why but doesn't really get a right response. Instead is told that life isn't fair and that she should do as told. Back in present day we're treated to some brother/sister training time as Oliver and Emiko duke it out together at her hideout. They both seem to get the upper hand on one another which was good. On the way out of the building however Emiko notices something, or someone following her in a dark hoodie. She runs away at first but then fires off an arrow in the direction the person was hitting them in the shoulder. Turns out it...
