The Review at the End of the Universe
“Fury Rogue” The Flash takes a step back to consider the loss of Ralph Dibny while enlisting the help of an alternate universe ally to help Team Flash with a very particular problem. No matter how bad The Flash gets there’s one thing that is always true; Leonard Snart is great. No matter what incarnation of…
“Lose Yourself” The Flash introduces the final Bus Meta and Ralph is forced to put all that he has learned to the test when DeVoe finally catches up with him. I’ll start with the introduction of the final Bus Meta who goes by the name Edwin Gauss aka The Folded Man (Arturo del Puerto). His…
“Null and Annoyed” The Flash returns from an extended hiatus to introduce another bus meta and teach Ralph another lesson about being a hero. A sizeable chunk of my criticisms of this season are attributed to Ralph. I find the character annoying which is definitely a personal reaction to the way he’s written but I…
“We Can Be Heroes” Supergirl brings back an old enemy while Mon’El tries to figure out the basics of being a hero and James continues to suggest that his role as Guardian is a good idea. This is an episode that lets some of the lesser used characters take some of the focus after a…
“Supergirl Lives” Supergirl Returns! From hiatus that is. Kara investigates a missing person’s case and ends up on an alien planet. Before I start the review I’ll open with a prediction that there will eventually be an episode of Supergirl called “Supergirl Returns” especially since the title of this episode, “Supergirl Lives” is a reference…
Now that I’ve finally finished all of my Edinburgh International Film Festival reviews I thought I would cap it all off by sharing my 5 personal favourites from my time at the festival. I saw a lot of films and had so many great experiences but there are 5 that stand out. There is a…
Various directors, writers and actors come together to deliver Holidays; a horror anthology that covers Valentine’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I had to think for a while about how to review this as it’s technically 8 short films rather than 1 single film so…
Recently I had the opportunity to join in a round table with Kevin Smith and his daughter Harley Quinn Smith. I was fortunate enough to be one of the few who managed to get a question in. In the round table Kevin’s career as well as his current film Yoga Hosers was discussed among many…
Kevin Smith’s Yoga Hosers is a spin-off to his previous film Tusk and the second in what he has dubbed the “True North” trilogy. The plot is a fairly simple one and plays to Smith’s strengths as a storyteller. He follows two main characters who live a relatively mundane life until something more fantastical interrupts…
“The Race of his Life” Season 2 of The Flash comes to an end with Zoom’s master plan becoming clear and Team Flash having to find a way to stop him. Let’s talk about Zoom! He has been a problematic villain to say the least. At the beginning of the season he was a mysterious…
