 People were deeply upset when the original "Teen Titans" was canceled when in 2006. When 2013 came around and "Teen Titans Go!" premiered, many were disappointed on the route it took. It did end up becoming a hit, so alas we get the movie.    The plot is pretty simple, and straight forward, the Titans feel disrespected among the hero community.  They feel the solution to this issue is to get a nemesis.    Before going into this film I had no idea what to expect from or, should I say the cartoon in general. I was pleasantly surprised  at how funny the film was. A lot of the jokes are meta, and surprisingly work. It kind of felt like a kid version of "Deadpool".  When it came to the story, I loved how deep the character of Robin was. When it comes to most superhero films, a lot of characters lack and sort of dimension. In the movie,  Robin has a hard time accepting who he is as a person.  I don't know what is maybe, I went in ser...

 This week is a bit of a heavy one for me, with five to see this weekend. First off is "Teen Titans Go!  To the movies!". It revolves around the Titans wanting to be taken seriously as hero's, but are in need of a nemesis.   We get the sixth entry in the Mission Impossible franchise. This one revolves around the idea that Ethan Hunt has failed a mission.   We go into the indie circuit with "Don't Worry He Wont Get Far on Foot". The story surrounds a man who is crippled from a bad car accident, and uses art to get over the injuries.        "Blindspoting" tells the story of a man, on the last week of his probation, who witnesses the murder of an unarmed man, by a cop   To round out my weekend, I will be able to attend an advance screening of "Spy Who Dumped Me". It is about a woman who is dumped by a guy that, she later finds out, is a spy.   Whatever you see this weekend, enjoy!

 What made me curious about the show was the fact it was going to be new story set in the same world as the many stories of Stephen King.   The story centers around Henry Deaver, a defense attorney, living in Texas. After loosing a high profile case, he gets a cryptic phone call from Shawshank prison, about a prisoner with no name (Bill Skarsgard). The unknown prisoner was  discovered in cellblock F, a ward of the prison that has not been used since 1987. The question of how he got there comes to be.   We come to learn that Deaver was missing for eleven days during a Maine winter. For those that do not know, the cold there gets horrifying.  He comes back after eleven days with no memory of what happened. During these eleven days, his father was found out in the woods near death.   I do believe this works as a Stephen King adaptation of sorts. Its fun having an original story with fan favorite King characters. Yes, there is "Dark Tower", but I feel lik...

   Based on what has gone on the last few episodes of this show, we should be in for an interesting finale.  The episode begins with the bargaining of Logan's deal for the local deal. Logan is afraid the deal is too good to be true. The episode than takes a turn to Tom's (Matthew McFadyen) bachelor party. Kendal is cornered by Stewy (Arian Moayed), at the bachelor party, to be bought out by a rival company. Roman follows, and kills the deal, for the moment. In his side venture, Kendal is trying to be an investor, to more of starter companies, but no one wants to work with him because he is a Roy.  Shiv and Logan meet to talk about her coming into the company, Shiv takes it as a threat, because she thinks that he may know about her affair with a fellow campaign aide. Shiv will have nothing to do with this. Logan is so offended by this, he decides not to go to her wedding. Kendal makes a deal with the rival company that could potentially change everything for the...

  So, just a little recap of the episode that I missed last week. The hunt for suspects begins at the funeral for the found girl. Camille interviews the fathers of the girls that were murdered and a supposed witness. The finger is pointed to the woman in white. The interviews, put a massive wave through the city.   Episode three starts with Amma (Eliza Scallen) coming home drunk and Camille helping her hide being drunk. Meanwhile Chief Vickery (Matt Craven) is picking at straws when it comes suspects. After being shut out of talking to Natalie's mother, Camille is given the chance to speak to the brother, who many believe, is the killer. All he shows is sadness and regret.    Scattered through the episode are flashbacks, of what seem to be a recent visit to a psychiatric facility. There she tries to help a girl that is about the age of sixteen. She wants to put the girl on the right path, to maybe not become her. It does not really end up this way though. ...

   When it comes to action movies, they can always be hit or miss. When September of 2014 came around, and the original "Equalizer" dropped, I was not expecting a lot. What I got was something fun. Going into July 20th of this year I was pumped, to say the least when it came to what the sequel could be.    The new one starts some time after the events of the first film. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is making his way as a Lyft driver. He is also doing random "acts" to help everyone he can. Things change when his best friend, Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) is murdered. This forces him to face the past he tried to leave behind.   The best thing to discuss about, really, any Denzel Washington movie is his performance. Even when the quality of the film is not always there. In this film, he is fantastic, I would even say better than the first.   With the "Equalizer", series there are a lot of longer shots that pan in whatever direction it needs to go. Whe...

  We are now into Comic con 2018. That means we get previews to many different films. Today we had many, and as surprised as I am,  a DC film came out on top.    Billy Baston (Asher Angel), is a foster kid that gets picked on and bullied constantly. After a strange subway ride, he meets the wizard (Djimon Hounsou), who gives him the power to become Shazam.   The trailer worked, let's hope the move does the same. Shazam! Drops in theaters April 5, 2019.
