Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 3 Power Broker (Spoiler Free Review)

-

Hey everyone. Sorry for being missing for a while. Been focusing on assignments lately and realized I hadn't posted any reviews in a while now. Still in the midst of finishing my assignment when the due date is so close but I'm here now 'cause I am feeling inspired and hyped once again for the future of the MCU. Note: I am writing this review after watching episode 4 so, if I slip up on certain stuff, please forgive me and do not block my blog. This is a hobby and I hope you guys see how much I love doing this and would preferably like to not worry about making another blog to please you guys again. 

Anyways, episode 3, titled Power Broker continues where episode 2 left off with the iconic due setting their path on a much dangerous investigation that includes the help of Helmut Zemo, last seen in Civil War. The show has finally picked up as the grounded Marvel show it needs to be, throwing awesome plotlines that make this comic book-come-to-life experience all the more merrier, especially with the addition of returning MCU side stars such as Emily Van Camp and Daniel Bruhl. 

If you think the fire between Bucky and Sam's relationship is intense, wait 'till Zemo drops in and messes with the duo, ultimately leaving us wanting only more scenes that feature interactions between the three of them instead of less. With the addition of other parties in this show, this Marvel entry finally shows off how grey the world is meant to be instead of making it seem black and white, (a trope that the CW superhero shows always tend to rely on when they eventually run out of story) which makes the MCU, finally, the relatable counterpart of our own real world problems. 

More twists in this episode than turns but the fight scenes are just right enough to also remind you that this show is as violent as it gets with Marvel. This may only be episode 3, everything is established and introduced properly but you are always eventually reminding yourself there's more between the lines, just like every other Marvel property out there. 'Power Broker' may not be the best episode right now, but it handles and carries its show to only finally reveal more in other episodes. In other words, episode 3 is a filler. Episodes after this (even if this one was solid AF) is already written in the stars to be better than this, I guarantee that.

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...
