Justice League: War

This movie is better than the life action version 

What is it about?
An invasion is coming and a group of heroes need to team up together. This is basically an origin story 

The Good 
This movie takes place after the first movie (Flashpoint) and yet nobody seems to know anyone here. 
The action is brutal. Really the cartoon is not meant for kids 
Everyone has their own time to shine and it ends with a super team up at the end

The Bad
You need to have some basic understanding on who are the superheroes since they is no backstory on why they are there. 
Darkside is powerful but a little too powerful which makes the other superheroes seem weak 

The Ugly 
Nothing much. 

After Credits: Yes is sets up the next movie Justice League: Throne of Atlantis 

Verdict: It's a great movie if you love DC superheroes. A must watch

So Help Me Todd

A lawyer show with a twist 

Premise: Todd is the youngest son of Margaret Wright, a lawyer in a prestigious law firm. He is down on his luck so Margaret hired him to be a Private Investigator of her cases. The rest is history 

Funny: This show is incredibly witty. The chemistry between Marcia and Skyler (the actors who play the characters) make you believe they are actually mom and son. Plus the comedic timing in this just lands perfectly. The mom is also not a tech genius so it is funny to see her navigate technology

Arcs: There are a couple of story threads. There is one unsolved issue.  A couple of love interests and the family Wright which is also a big part of the story

Season 2: yes is confirmed but due to the actors strike not sure when we are going to get that.  So just watch season 1 again 

What Remains of Edith Finch

An interactive story 

Game no: 515
Genre: Other (Walking Simulator)  
Platform: Nintendo Switch
Release Date: 2017

I've heard a lot of good things about What Remains of Edith Finch but when I booted the game up I didn't expect it to be what it is. Basically you play as Edith Finch the last generation of the Finch family. You mom past away and you are going back home to find out about your entire family. That's the premise of this game. You are basically just walking from one point to the next point and stopping along the way to listen to the story. Between the journey you discover all the Finch generations and what happen that cause them their demise 

This game plays more like an interactive story rather than a usual game. The text pop out on screen so you can see them while going to your intended destination. The only action is the shoulder button and joystick where you press to open and push doors. There are also some action between in. What makes this game unique is that each stage that you encounter it jumps into a different genre of game. There is one where you fly a kite, there is another where you play as a knight conquering a kingdom and there is one that is in a style of a comic to name a few. Each of the sections last around 20 minutes and you move on to your next path. You are rarely at a lost here since the game is as linear as they come.

As for the story. It is sad and touching at the same time. To see all your past generations die as a result of some freak accident and there is many things left unsaid is sad. Makes you think that you need to reconciled with your own family if there is any unfinished business you have. I won't spoil the ending but this game should be played by everyone since there a little to no learning curve here. The controls are simplistic, the gameplay is short (less than 2 hours but I took 3 days to finish it) and the story is very engaging. Overall I gave this game an S Rank. Probably will be in my game of the year. 

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

Thus starts 1 of 16 movies of the DC Animated Movie Universe 

What is it about?
The Flash changed the future which cause a ripple effect throughout time 

The Good
This movie is better than the 2023 Flash live action movie 
The characters have their time to shine
The action is fast paced and jam packed with a lot of death. This cartoon is so not for kids 

The Bad
Due this is based on the Flashpoint comic. They are trying to cram a lot of info in 90 minutes.
We didn't get to see Batman and the Joker fight 

The Ugly 
Nothing. This is a perfect interpretation of the comic 

After Credits: Yes... sets up the next movie Justice League: War

Verdict: If you love DC movie, a must watch

Silo

One of the best shows I've watched this year

'

Premise: In the distant future (140 years in). A group of 10,000+ people live in 144 story underground silo. There are no history on what happened before 140 years since it was deleted which makes a couple people question their existence 

There are 4 rules: No items after 140 years are allowed to be kept, no sort of lift system, no magnifying devices of any sort and the main rule if you say "if you want to go out" it is basically your death sentence  

This is a murder mystery: The first 4 episodes is to set up the characters and after that the story gets underway and each episodes end with you wanting to watch what happens next 

Season 2? Confirmed. They shot it halfway before the actors strike. Which is good since there is more questions than answers and the end of episode 10

No Hard Feelings

Did you know this is Jennifer Lawrence first comedic role

What is it about?
Parents of an awkward child ask someone to sleep with them in order to get a car

The Good
This movie is funny is some moments 
Is not a typical romantic comedy 

The Bad
The movie takes a while to set up the premise. So we only get a montage of them having fun. I would love to see more interaction with the couple
We didn't get to see what happens in the end. It's an okay ending but there is no what happens next 

The Ugly 
Kids nowadays are scary with their phones and pronouns and the ability to say something that will always be misinterpreted 

After Credits: No 

Verdict: If you like a good laugh, you should watch this

Quantum Leap

They remade the old show back 

What is it about: Dr Ben Song travels back in time and everytime he leaps he will end up in someone body. The only way he can leap out is to solve whatever problem the person has 

Did they touch on the original show: Yeap, they also change a lot of stuff due to it being the future and all. So he leaps are more random and can happen anywhere 

This season: There is a reason why he leap but you won't know until the 3 last episode 

Ending: The close the tread but we didn't get a satisfying ending. Good news is there is a season 2
