Avengers: Infinity War - Review

The battle with Thanos has been brewing for years, with Thanos being behind the attack on earth that originally brought the Avengers together. Thanos and the infinity stones have been the threads that have tied together many of the Marvel movies. Infinity War is what we have been waiting for. The basic premise is that Thanos is gathering together the infinity stones, six gems that have been around since the big bang. With possession of these stones, Thanos (already incredibly powerful) will become unstoppable. It's up to the good guys to stop him. Who are the good guys? Pretty much all of the Marvel heroes that have appeared up til now, with the exception of Hawkeye and Ant-Man. This boils down to the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange. The biggest danger for this movie is that with so many characters, none of them would get the attention that they needed. Really this movie couldn't have happened until now as the foundation for each character was lai...

My Main Problem With the Justice League Movie

I generally enjoyed the Justice League movie. It was a lot of fun and the characters were interesting. But I did have one problem. It all comes down to the death and resurrection of Superman/Clark Kent. First of all, the glasses disguise is not the most complex in the world. It shouldn't take much to see through that (see what I did there?). In Batman v Superman, you have funerals for the deaths of Clark Kent and Superman at the same time. That is not too much of a problem. Doomsday did quite a bit of damage during his rampage and it is conceivable that a reporter could get killed during the battle between Superman and Doomsday. The problem is that Clark is now suddenly alive at the same time that Superman is back alive. How is that going to be explained? It didn't help that Lois Lane calls the newly raised Superman "Clark" in front of a police officer. It is one of those things that bug me. I wonder of the movies will deal with it or just ignore it.

Why I Love Star Trek: Discovery

I need to make a confession. Star Trek: Discovery is currently my favourite TV show. That might surprise some people. Especially if you know that I'm a long time Star Trek fan. It could be a surprise because Discovery is a departure from traditional Star Trek. In fact for many people, it doesn't even feel like Star Trek. It is based more on war than exploration. The Klingons are radically differently. It is not a captain-centric series. The technology is far beyond Star Trek: The Next Generation even though it supposed to be taking place before Star Trek: The Original Series. Aside from all of that, I'm really enjoying the series. This is why. Star Trek: Discovery reminds me a lot of the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica. In fact there is much about it that has a Battlestar Galactica feel. While I usually am very concerned by continuity, I come to Discovery the same way that I came to Battlestar Galactica, not being concerned by what came before, but enjoying the ...
