Review:  I watched both G.I. Joe movies so I was eagerly awaiting the release of this one. As an origin story, it is natural that many parts would be left out, which could be expanded upon in the next movie, given the ending and mid credit scenes. You do sometimes get the impression that the direction seems a bit lost in certain scenes and when they try to correct the direction, it kind of creates more problems and questions. Still, a good watch, but not as captivating as the first two movies, I did enjoy Iko Uwais scenes though. The trailer is also misleading, with heavy focus on what to expect but, not happening as expected until you least expect it

Review:  Well, part II was definitely worth the wait and held up as well as part one, in exploring the earlier years of Batman’s crusade against crime in Gotham City. The legendary rogue’s gallery is quickly established even though we didn’t get to see much of the crime families in the Dark Knight trilogy, they are quite developed and prominent in this movie. Full of action, delving more into how Batman becomes more of a detective before adding the “World’s Greatest” moniker. Here's hoping Jensen Ackles stays on voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne. If the end scene credit is anything to go by, expect more connected animated DC movies whilst hoping those responsible for the DCEU are paying attention, Superman Unbound storyline for Man of Steel 2, anyone?

Review:  It was 1996 and Looney Tunes was still my go to show of choice. The nostalgia of going to the cinema to watch a movie I was very excited for was an experience that never left me. The 1996 Space Jam movie left a lasting impression on me. Fast forward to 2021, I’m now watching a sequel to that Space Jam movie with a different feel. It didn’t evoke the same feelings as 1996, and to be honest at times, it felt like a video game. But then and again, maybe that is what is needed, something different. There is plenty of cameos alongside humour involvement, and character building which influenced the direction of the movie.

Personally, I don’t think the rating actually reflected the movie as I was quite enjoying a few of the sequences. Did Warner Bros finally manage to sway Don Cheadle into the DCEU indirectly? Haha, aside from pretty much carrying this movie when he is on screen, he’d be a very good addition if written well in any DC movie, which seemed to be hinted.  Also, watch out for Warner Bros casually reminding the audiences of other movies / properties they own. If rumours are to be believed, are Waners Bros considered a wrestling theme on the next outing with... Dwayne Johnson??

Review:  Suddenly those Dominic Toretto "family" memes online start to make sense... There is no Dwayne Johnson in this movie as he’s currently filming DC’s Black Adam? It seems like the feud between him and Vin Diesel continues. The movie now adds Peacemaker, I mean John Cena  into the franchise amongst many twists and turns, whilst also seemingly trying to retcon previous plots to further advance the vision / story of the returning director, Justin Lin. Roman provides the humour whilst Tej rounds off the seeming double act. Lots of action and tie ins from previous movies, although the focus seems to shift from the cars in favour of family and... space? If you’ve seen The Dark Knight movie, one scene here may invoke nostalgia. After the mid-credits scene, it seems that a future instalment is looking to explore “justice” for a returning character

Review:  OK, after watching this movie, it helps if you know your timelines. Black Widow, from my guess, is set towards the end of Captain America: Civil War, has an influence in Avengers: Infinity War and then ends after Avengers: Endgame, although the synopsis may contradict this. There is actually a lot of action in this movie with some characters given a different direction, not that I’m complaining, and the addition of Thaddeus Ross and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine actually works in tying in the MCU and Disney+ shows. The end credits shows that the story will be continued in a future Disney+ show

Review:  Slated to be released as part of Superman: Man of Tomorrow continuity, The Long Halloween Part One serves as an origin story of sorts with some give-aways, like the absence of The World’s Greatest Detective moniker that Batman has become known to be associated with. Some of Batman’s rogues make appearances and others in non speaking capacities, which could hint at future roles. Given that this could become a shared universe, other DC characters may end up making appearances. The movie has a Nolan-equse feel, like Batman Begins. Jensen Ackles, although unsuccessfully not cast as Batman in the DCEU, lends his voice as Bruce Wayne/Batman, hopefully for multiple movies here. Part 2 is expected fall of July 2021

Review:  So like Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Friends started whilst again, I was probably too young to get into any television shows that weren’t aimed towards children, like Power Rangers or anything on Cartoon Network. But eventually, I managed to watch all ten seasons of friends. The reunion special brings together the main cast again, with James Corden as the host, whilst there are some revelations along the way. If you have time, give it a watch as some people have said that they got emotional during some segments. I have to warn you though, like myself, there was no meaningful appearance of Scott Lang... I mean Paul Rudd which had me scratching my head
