The Review at the End of the Universe
The Transformers franchise recently got a cinematic resurgence in the form of Bumblebee; a reboot disguised as a prequel focusing on the yellow Autobot taking on his classic form of a Volkswagen Beetle and being befriended by human girl. Since there are two huge fans of classic Transformers on staff there naturally needed to be…
The Transformers franchise receives the prequel/reboot treatment in Travis Knight’s Bumblebee. Transformers is a franchise that has become popular to hate over the years with many of the negative opinions being attributed to decisions that director Michael Bay made. Many say that they are racially insensitive, sexist, juvenile and overflowing with incomprehensible action that audiences…
2017 was another year of change for Kneel Before Blog. The biggest change was that we switched to a star rating system for film around halfway through the year. TV will continue to be rated out of 10 but films will be rated on a scale of 1-5 stars as is the accepted standard for…
After his fiancé is killed right in front of him, Mitch Rapp throws himself into extreme training to seek revenge in Michael Cuesta’s American Assassin. American Assassin is really striking in its opening moment. We are introduced to Mitch Rapp (Dylan O’Brien) filming his girlfriend as he proposes to her. In a very short time the film…
The worst oil spill in U.S. history is given the film adaptation treatment in Peter Berg’s Deepwater Horizon. Berg’s film follows the events of that day and the effect it had on the people involved. Disaster movies are a dime a dozen these days and it could be argued that making a film about one…
Wes Ball’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials continues the Post Apocalyptic Young Adult adaptation picking up from the escape from the maze in the first film.

“Status Asthmaticus“ The mid season finale of Teen Wolf season 5 is finally here and I have to say I am a little conflicted. I didn’t particularly enjoy this episode but I didn’t hate it either. It felt more like a normal episode than a finale to me. We do get plenty of answers in this…
“Lies of Omission” With only one more episode left till the mid season finale of Season 5A, we were still left with more unanswered questions. This episode also saw the pack separated, something which I don’t particularly enjoy. We’ve seen practically no scenes of the pack banding together and that kind of bugs me. With…
“Ouroboros” Teen Wolf is back once again and as much as I love this show, there are still some things about this season that are quite concerning and I’ll get to that soon. This episode did seem to move things in an interesting way and I liked how the Desert Wolf was finally brought into…
“Strange Frequencies“ Teen Wolf Season 5 has all been about Scott’s pack being in danger, and not just them but everyone else around them, and the latest episode was no exception. The episode picks off right where the last left off. Stiles has to reluctantly help Theo after he killed another newly formed Chimera to…
