FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×03- “Armageddon, Part 3”
The Flash (08×03)- “Armageddon, Part 3″ Written by: Sam Chalsen Directed by: Chris Peppe So we left off with Barry telling Black Lightning about “Injustice” and it turns out that wasn’t just Barry being dramatic. It seems that “Injustice” is a protocol for taking the powers from a member that is going rogue. Barry explains everything that’s been going on and Jefferson is (logically) hesitant. After all, that’s (supposed to be) a permanent solution to what might be a temporary problem. He tries to get Barry to relax for a moment but let’s be real here has asking someone to calm down ever actually worked? In the end, Jefferson…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘THE ROCKETEER’
The Antifa Adventurer That isn’t Dr. Jones The Rocketeer is a beloved 1991 Disney film. Based on Dave Stevens’ comic series, which debuted in 1982, it revolves around stunt pilot Cliff Secord’s (Bill Campbell) fortuitous discovery of a jetpack created by Howard Hughes. Of course, adventure ensues. The character was created as a tribute to the 1930s serials that had inspired wonder in the youth of their day. Both the comics and film execute that homage perfectly. The Rocketeer is indeed a cult classic. Loaded with charm—which is anchored by the majestic score of James Horner—it serves as a delightful reminder of the comic book films of yesteryear. Those films had to rely far…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×02- “Armageddon, Part 2”
The Flash (08×02)- “Armageddon, Part 2″ Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Menhaj Huda Major Spoiler Warning for Fight Club. I’ll spoil the Flash all day long, it’s in the title but this serves as both a high recommendation of the film and the novel it’s based upon and your only warning. Spoilers ahead. We pick up pretty much where we left off last week but despite their agreement, Despero put Barry on his back to test his abilities and healing. Meaning he now knows exactly what it will take to kill Barry. Well, that’s nice. Barry then asks the million dollar question, why did he…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘SNAKE EYES’
Crapped Out Snake Eyes continues the unfortunate legacy of the legendary G.I. Joe toys on film. As in, it’s not particularly good, nor was it successful. Snake Eyes, like many films nowadays, is meant to serve as an origin story for its titular hero, but also as an introduction to a larger universe. We get appearances from Cobra’s Baroness, as well as the classic Joe Scarlett. The issue is they don’t necessarily fit. They are crammed into what’s already a messy film. Thus, they are shortchanged and underdeveloped. What is developed is the film’s inability to make Snake Eyes, played by Henry Golding, particularly endearing. From the jump, his motivations and behavior establish him as…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 8×01- “Armageddon, Part 1”
The Flash (08×01)- “Armageddon, Part 1″ Written by: Eric Wallace Directed by: Eric Dean Seaton The year is 2031 and Central City is about to be destroyed. Things look bad, really bad but don’t worry gang! Despero is here to save us! Hold up… There’s a lot to unpack here. Not just that Despero looks a bit like Vincent Van Gogh but last I checked Despero isn’t a “Thank God you’re here! We’re safe now!” kind of guy. He’s more of a guy that I’d expect to be causing this kind of thing. So maybe we should show the special title card and back things up a little. It’s…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘THE LONE RANGER’
Wendigo Hammer The Lone Ranger is a modern adaptation of the popular 1930s radio series, as well as the late 1940s/1950s television show. It features a masked hero, the titular one, and his trusty Native American sidekick, Tonto. After decades of inaction, Disney went big to bring the duo back. They re-teamed Gore Verbinski with Johnny Depp—who’d collaborated on the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies; and they essentially wrote the director a blank check. In retrospect, that was a mistake, as was Depp’s baffling decision to play Tonto. With a budget ranging from $225 to $250 million, its modest $260.5 million take was disastrous for the House of Mouse. Depending on who…

Hops and Box Office Flops: ‘DUNE’
Spice Up Your Life Dune, based upon Frank Herbert’s classic 1965 novel, has been done before on both big screen and small, but never to this scope or scale. Denis Villeneuve—given the resources and technology—has crafted a faithful and awe-inspiring interpretation of the novel’s first half. Thankfully—based upon recent remarks—Paul Atreides’ adventure will not end here. This is literally half a story. And without the rest, it would not stand particularly well on its own. Unlike something like Zack Snyder’s Justice League—which has a definitive ending, despite teasing more—Paul’s story in this film ends on a cliffhanger. We won’t spoil it here, as we do over the pod, but Baron Vladimir…
