Quick Review of Doom: Incredibles 2

Good movie. Keeps a narrative focus of what it is to be a super hero, and how society feels about it. Keeps that Golden Age feel for the villains while being very modern in execution. Just as good as the first one in my humble opinion.

Quick Review of Doom: Deadpool 2

Surprising first Act. 2nd Act was what I expected based on the previews. 3rd Act had some great special guest stars. End of the movie establishes the Cinematic Deadpool formula. I really hope to see Deadpool 3 sooner than later.

Quick Review of Doom: The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

This show on Netflix is an easy watch. Fast digestible mini-episodes strung together into 23-minute mega episodes. Fast, funny, and featuring and OP protagonist that has weird drawbacks and limits. The best part for me is how much he reminds me of one of my friends. Worth a watch.

Quick Movie Review of DOOM!

Black Panther: Is Killmonger the best villain in Marvel? Honestly, this is the first villain I've seen that has changed the hero's stance on something.

10/10

Quick Movie Review of Doom: Fifty Shades of Grey

We ended up getting, "Fifty Shades of Grey". It wasn't a terrible movie, with the singular exception that it was bad. There is no "real" conflict. The black moment in the storyline drags on for what feels like an extra hour, which ruins any and all tension, and ends terribly, as if to say, you wasted your entire time watching this.

Quick Movie Review of Doom: Hot Pursuit

With a title that belongs in a video game, Hot Pursuit is exactly what it says on it's IMDB tin. The funniest parts were in the previews, and the enjoyment I got out of this movie, was more from going to a $6 Tuesday showing with my wife, than what the movie provided. You can skip it, and hope they do better work in the future.

Best parts were Reese as José Beiber, and the news casts of their descriptions. Everything else was unimpressive for a comedy.

Quick Movie Review of Doom: Avengers: Age of Ultron

This movie is very fun to watch. Super-power team up attacks are fun. Pietro making fun of people for being slow and suffering hubris is fun. Quick, little, not so secret ending that occurred early on in the credits was fun. James Spader is fun. So many times I found myself saying, "Captain America is so cool!" or "Hell yeah, no way Hawkeye would have anymore of that mess!"

I loved seeing more of Hawkeye and all these quiet moments between Bruce and Natasha. There is just so much in this movie, with a great and fun party scene in the beginning, Chekov's guns laying about all over the place. Running jokes and references. It is simply and amazingly fun to watch.

Quick TV Review of Doom: Gotham

Gotham is a show that if it went any more dramatic, I wouldn't watch it. It is a great alt-verse of Batman, where we see the origins of a great many villains. The thing is that Batman himself is about 20-30 years away from the Bruce Wayne we see in the show. So the focus is less on this kid developing the detective skills he'll be famous for in the future (let alone any of the other things he does), and focuses a great deal more on the Jim Gordon angle, with a focus on relatively normal, but weird crimes, while at the same time not being a procedural show.

It is drama without the drama, Batman without the Batman, and a crime show without the procedural. I'm enjoying it, but it needs to not fall off the precipice it's edging across.

Quick TV Review Of Doom: The Flash

So I watched the Flash last night as I was trying to fall asleep. It kept me awake! Man, there is something about the Flash that keeps me coming back to it week after week. It has a certain amount of drama and superhero that does overbear me with any one thing. Grant Gustin has a way of exuding a happiness that I've come to associate with the Flash from the comics. The character of Barry Allen was the kind of person who would have a drink with you, and talk you out of doing something just as much as he was to punch you in the face.

With all this, the Flash seems to be on point with being just the right amount of quirky for me to enjoy. Last night's episode was just a culmination of a season that just keeps hitting the topic of what it means to be a Flash tv show. It is completely worth it to watch, whether you like Flash from the Justice League cartoons, the comics, the new 52/Flash Point Paradox, or just casually as a really fast hero.

Check it out on Huluplus or CWtv.
