The monstrous hero Monstra-Man (A.K.A. Tony Tolle) talks about how he hides his supernatural powers, which is actually more natural than supernatural?
The great Martin Scorsese once called everything in the Marvel franchise a “carnival film,” meaning that the films are not real cinema. Scorsese thought that cinema should have you expect the unexpected. While I am not Martin Scorsese, and just a guy that reviews films, I can agree that certain films are “carnival.” While watching these carnival films you get a couple of hours of fun and get to laugh without thinking about the plot or deeper story. In my opinion, that is what the Fast and Furious franchise has always been.
The monster hero, Monstra-Man, is after the man responsible for his friend and fellow hero's death: Professor Aleankabut. But his plans for revenge turn sideways...
You know what I love about good films? They have the ability to draw emotion out of me. Good filmmaking has the ability to convey the emotions of characters to viewers clearly. The goal should be to get us to feel something and to be able to have the appropriate mood or emotion that the film is showing us with said characters.
The 1904 Olympics is remembered for its vast showcase of how far humanity will go in physical bewilderness and absolute madness. So Helen wants to go see how it all went down!
The magical heroine, Devil Angel (A.K.A. Hannah Vallery) reveals most of her powers are just natural parts of being a vampire. But, the magic she wields is what makes her be a hero, as even she does not know how powerful she can get.

Losing her closest support has left her shaken and she questions if she could have done anything for her late father in his last moments.
I would like to start this review out with a shout to the Landmark Main Art Theater down in Royal Oak that unfortunately had to close its doors. This theater holds a special place for me. The Main was where I got my love for watching small art house films from this theater. I can say my love for movies started from going to the Main. Truly a historical place and I will miss it, thank you for the memories.
Let me start off by saying this, I used to really despise musicals. I would always avoid and trash them without giving them a watch. But, now as I grow older and gain a little more wisdom I have started to develop my movie taste buds. I have seen Hamilton, La La Land, and Sweeney Todd just to throw a few out there. I have come to the conclusion that I really enjoy musicals now.
Helen has travelled back in time to meet the two authors that defined fantasy and wimsy, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. But, it would seem their tales of fantasy are keeping them occupied in their own conversation.
The fiery heroine, Cherry (A.K.A. Lainna Joy) reveals how she got her flame-wielding powers: from a giant explosion!? Well, that's super heroes for you. (Side Note: Do not attempt to get super powers by standing next to explosives)
The hero Grappler (A.K.A. Joshua Dale) noticed his fellow hero and friend, E-Mo (A.K.A. Kole Zom), is still dealing with the loss of the hero and friend Poison-Spider (A.K.A. Jason Phillips), but not in the healthiest way...
Before I get into this review, let me just say that DC knocked this series out of the park. Trust me, I’m surprised that those words just came out of my mouth. Based on DC’s history, I was starting to lose all hope that they would produce consistently good content. Sweet Tooth washed away all of the bad tastes from both Justice League cuts, Batman vs Superman, Wonder Woman ‘84, and the dreadfully bad Suicide Squad.
The gadget hero, Grappler is very particular about who knows he is a hero, especially when it comes to the ones he loves, the ones he wants to protect from his life as a hero.
The magical heroine Devil Angel (a.k.a. Hannah Vallery), is still processing the loss of her boyfriend and fellow hero, Poison-Spider (a.k.a. Jason Phillips). But, thanks to the avian heroine Shade-Feather (a.k.a. Zela Weve), Devil Angel is learning to move on and become an all-new version of herself!
Finally we get a Disney live action remake that has an original story. Disney has given us Lion King, Dumbo, Jungle Book, Tarzan, and Mulan. None of them have been new stories, just retellings of the old story while Disney flexes how great the animation is now. That is what is really driving me away from these live-action remakes as of late! Nothing is being told brand new to the audience. Let’s be honest, most of the people that are seeing these films are those who have seen the original film.
Helen read about a bear mascot that fought in World War II, but could such a fluffy fighter really have existed?
It is rare that sequels deliver in the same way as their predecessor, especially in horror movie franchises. The Conjuring 2 was not scary in my opinion and IT: Chapter 2 was just Pennywise yelling. Sorry, but that's not horror or scary in my book. A Quiet Place Part II doesn’t rely on jump scares, weird gooey stuff, or loud noises. John Krasinski once again has set the bar on how to torture his cast and the audience with psychological silent horror. I felt like I was not on the edge of my seat for most of the film, but I still think that this second part delivers on the thrills.
Eastern Michigan University announced, via Campus Update email on May 13, that the Windgate Foundation has granted EMU $2.2 million for an on-campus 3D Arts Complex.
This week we reveal the second clone of Poison-Spider, Jason Phillips, has taken up a new name, Kyle Phillips. But this doesn't mean Kyle has forgotten about being a hero, for he is still the vigilante of the night: Shadow-Spider!
