WandaVision Episode 5 (Spoiler Free Review)

Don't think I forgot all about the new episode of WandaVision. With my spoiler filled review on the way, there is so much to talk about this time. But since this is for my good readers, that want to watch the show and consume everything themselves here is my spoiler free review of the new episode. WandaVision this week parallels two points of views in the best way in a forty minute episode, a runtime that I had been waiting for. So, let's get to it.

With its all new surprises and twists, episode 5 once again leaves audiences on the edge of their seat once again. This episode specifically tributes sitcoms from the 80's which includes shows like Family Ties and Full House (which starred Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elizabeth's real life twin sisters). Also like, Full House, Wanda and Vision struggle to take care of their own "twin children". 

Unfortunately, the Horror of the show has taken a step back this week after the first four episodes and settles itself more as the Marvel mystery that it needs to be for now. A few more revelations have been revealed only to set up a specific episode all of us are waiting for. This episode has a more film feeling to it, giving WandaVision the blend of storyline it deserves. 


Once again, Olsen and Bettany are killing it but for this episode's sake, Bettany is the one we should be focusing on. He may have been painted purple and wearing clothes that resemble the male leads of each sitcom that they happen to retcon but he is perfection. Wanda is suffering, no doubt but Vision has this sense of humanity no synthezoid could compete with. From the smile on his face to the fear in his eyes happens to be unbelievably believable that you start feel like he is right there infront of you instead of being in a screen. 

With all of that aside, episode 5 ends in a large way, setting all new problems and repercussions on the way to deal with in future episodes as well as future Marvel properties. The wait for a new episode is getting more anxiously exciting and the fact that the internet goes crazy for it is something to definitely worth being alive for in this day and age. Looking forward to next week's Halloween/90's episode.

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdon...

A Cautionary Tale That Should Have Stayed in 2004 (Mean Girls 2024 review)

-

After 20 years, the Plastics return in an all-new reiteration of Mean Girls, a cult classic teen drama that should have stayed in the early 2000s. No, it is not a sequel or a re-quel. It is very much a remake that is supposed to appeal to a whole new set of fans, possibly. It is also a live-action take on the Broadway musical that was inspired by the original film which, you guessed it, makes this a musical. Many people were skeptical about this idea, let alone knew it was going to be a musical while fans of the musical were wondering if it would live up to it.  As someone who hasn't seen the Broadway musical, it is hard to compare because I had never seen that cast, nor have I heard of the musical numbers before this so, I am unaware of that aspect of the film but I have seen the original film that starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. As someone who does, to this day, enjoy the original film, the remake does not live up to its standards but mostly for reasons that are not ent...

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many change...
