“It’s Flashin’ time!” …is what fans of The Flash probably don’t say, nor does anyone who wishes to avoid being on a list somewhere. I’m not very clever. 🙁 Alas, The Flash is now in theaters after a rather contentious production, thanks in no small part to Ezra Miller’s legal and personal struggles. As the […]
I am convinced Michael Bay is DJ Khaled; every time you think Transformers is done, he says, “Another one.” I’m just saying, has anyone ever seen Michael Bay and DJ Khaled in the same room together? Do your own research, people. Okay, that’s not entirely serious. It was announced a while back that Bumblebee was […]
Note: since the final episode came out a few days ago, this review may contain some spoilers. It’s not solely a review of episode 12, but more a collation of thoughts of the entire series with a few thoughts on how it all wrapped up. 2020 was not a great year. Three years later, the […]
Sometimes the best things in life are surprises. I’ve mentioned in previous reviews that I’ve never been huge in the comic books/superhero scene. I watched some stuff like the X-Men Animated series, Batman Animated Series, etc., but I never collected comic books or a ton of action figures as a kid. So when Spider-man: Into […]
Well, here we are: the penultimate episode of the season and, dare I say, series. It’s certainly a little bittersweet to think about, but I’ll save those thoughts for next week when the series wraps up. The show has mostly set football aside the last few episodes, showing just a couple of brief clips while […]
“It’s a perfect movie!” – Quentin Tarantino “One of my favorite pictures.” – Steven Spielberg “One of the biggest epic films I have ever seen.” – Christopher Nolan Hard to believe three legendary filmmakers said this about Fast X, right? It should be; they didn’t. They’re definitely real quotes by them, but in reference to […]
Catharsis. I feel like I’ve used that word a bit when talking about Ted Lasso, but ultimately, it’s the best term I can use to describe most of the episodes. Each episode is designed to elicit some sort of emotion (in most cases, multiple emotions), and while small issues may be resolved by the end […]
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” – John Stuart Mill When Colin was shown to be gay […]
After the incredible highs of the recent few episodes (even though the team has been struggling), it seemed almost inevitable that at some point the grades for Ted Lasso episodes might start regressing to the mean.* * Perhaps it’s truly an inversion; the worse the team performance, the better the episodes? The bulk of the […]
“But a man does not fight merely to win! No—no—better to know one fights in vain!” I remember the words one of my former co-workers once said. No, not the quote above; Edmond Rostand predates me by about 120 years. But said co-worker is huge into sports, and his sons are as well. And when […]
