#JustaQuickiePlease: The Legend of Tarzan Review

David Yates, of Potter movie fame, delivers us his interpretation of the iconic literary hero initially brought to life, on the page, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Although the tale is no stranger to the film reboot, this venture is a somewhat fresh and stunning take on the Lord of the Jungle.  The cast is stellar, with passionate performances, albeit it's now hard to see Robbie as anyone else but Harley Quinn.   However it's the cinematography and visuals that make this an epic outing, quickly eclipsing an otherwise painfully predictable and bit overtly simplistic script.   If you have seen the recent retelling of Disney's Jungle Book, anytime before this flick, you immediately feel as though this is nothing more than the "grown up" version of that.   I'm not entirely sure if Kipling would feel complimented by that or not.  Also, quite disappointing is the action, which in certain scenes, happens too rapidly to thoroughly enjoy.  Overall, it's an enjoyable visual journey, if one tries not to overthink it.  2 out of 5 Kernels; this legend may not live up to the hype, but it is worth the exploration.

Any spoiler at this point is, in all actuality, a God send...

1. Oh, look, a Shogun Warlord and his army...let's leave the Nuclear Powered Superhero on the ship...

The literal reason why any episode exceeds 10 minutes in duration...

2.  Did they just outright steal the plot line from TMNT 3...

3. Ray made a suit that any idiot could wear...

Because it was the only way he would be able to wear it...

4. Frak all of this...just make a show about White Canary and I'm good...

Because that shite was AWESOME...

5.  This show is so bad...even its pop culture references are now D List...

6.  The only show where Ninja's show up just because...

No other reason...just because...

7.  Was literally waiting for Deadpool to pop up in a Kimono...

DC...we can make even our Marvel knock-offs look lame...

8. The fact that Ray was able to take on a master Samurai wearing his high-tech armor literally epitomizes the sheer rejection of logic this show offers...

9.  Vixen is begging the team to find Rex's killers all episode...until the end...cause we wanted to do that whole play out thing...

10.  Is it wrong that I root for the bad guys in this show...

Bonus:  We upgraded to SYFY channel level CGI this episode...kudos...

Still trying to figure out why I still even bother...

1. Most useless character on the show...

Tie goes to Mad Dog and Felicity...you make the call...

2. Could we make the military prison look anymore more like a cheaply and haphazardly put together set on a sound stage...

Anybody...

3. And...the dirt bikes are back...

4. Oliver beats up his own team...

He is literally the Adrian Peterson of the DC Universe...

5. Explosions in the Arrowverse can tear through concrete, but as long as you awkwardly jump like two or three feet away from the blast radius you're good...

6. How exactly is the liquid melt through anything spray contained in its can...anyone...no...alrighy then...moving on...

7. You know it's getting bad when...the flashbacks are the most interesting part of the show...

8. Mr, Terrific's purpose on the team...

No, seriously, that's a question...

9. Artemis...think Thea...if she was younger, less talented, and totally uninteresting...

10. Is Ragman's other superpower soft pouty eyes...

If you get that reference...you are awesome...

4. He used the chain again...he used the chain again...

5. Easily missable Johnny Blaze Easter Egg in...3...2...1...

6. Coulson and May have a whole Flatliners vibe going on....

And, if you get that reference...you have an extensive Keifer Sutherland video library...

7.  So, we totally forgot about the facilities survelliance system...is that what happened...

Frak being covert...we have a Fraking Ghost Rider...

8. Hydra has been replaced by Congress....

Makes perfect sense...

9. That book is so popular...you would think the Darkhold was written by J.K Rowling or something...

10. And, why didn't we just give everyone the antidote to prevent Mad Ghost Disease before we went on the mission, again....

Bonus: Gratiutious Ghostbusters references....

Proving that even this episode would have been better than the 2016 reboot...

Spoilers so fast...well...they're really fast...

1. Why is Harley playing Top...

2. As far as Wells is concerned...it's like watching a reboot of Multiplicity...

The next Wells will probably love pizza and call everyone Steve...

And if you got that joke...you sir or madam...are awesome...

3. Life lesson....

Cisco doesn't name villains...we get Magenta and Top...

Cisco names villains...we get Mirror Master...(with the assist from Wells)...

Everyone clear...

4. How exactly did Jessie overcome Top's power of Vertigo, again...

5. You can literally transport anywhere via any reflective surface...so what do you decide to do...

Let's rob banks...

Is this episode supposed to be DC's Dumbest Criminals or something...

6. Oh, now we are using actual scientific principles to explain shite...

Yeah...writers...you can't have it both ways...

7. Caitlin...that was cold....

Ha...

Oh, and you might want to let the team know about your powers...

Cause, they're going to eventually notice your inevitable Sinead O'Conner look...

8. We now know that Tom Cavanagh's acting range halts at a southern accent...

9. It's official...Wally and Jessie have more chemistry than Iris and Barry...

Pretty much, two inanimate blocks sitting next to each other, in a sterile room, have more chemistry than Barry and Iris...

10.  Next week's episode...Cloverfield 2...

6. This episode was shocking...

Sorry, couldn't resist...

7.  Enigma meets Kringle the Sequel...

8. I firmly believe Penguin and Tim Burton are roomies...

Or at least, Tim's interior decorator is...

9. Hey, Jervis...Purple Man called...he said Kudos..

10.  Jim has a choice...kill one of his boring love interests...or Jervis kills both of his boring love interests...

The viewers win either way...

C'mon, Jim...we all want you with the the only woman who is a freak in the streets, as well as, the sheets...

Now, the official show of the Democratic Party...

1. Supergirl did the Wonder Woman spin...

2. You should see my other jet...

3. Do the writers realize that with each episode, they literally contradict the liberal propaganda they are trying to portray...

4. For example...

Aliens are supposed to be compared to immigrants to proport a tolerance message that fight against stereotypes...

Then portrays all aliens as criminal like outcasts who hang out in a bar all day...

DC...we really aren't racist misogynists...no really, we aren't...

5. The DEO...frak CPI...we got this...

6. Apparently, on Daxium, the number one show is Dawson's Creek...

7. Three different shows...three different characters...Magenta, Steel Guy, and Fire Girl...Marvel Comics....what's that...we never heard of them...so how could we possibly be mimicking them...nothing to see here...moving on...

8. Apparently, the new villain, BAD CGI, has moved to National City...

9. Alien Registration...well, that might cause a Civil War...but not, like the Marvel one...absolutely not,..in fact, what's Marvel...

10. Wynn...I know Cisco...you will never be Cisco...

Had to add just one more...

Bonus: Snapper...he can't exist in the real world...he is a journalist with integrity...a total work of fiction...

Oh, and then there was that whole Miss Martian thing...

1. Again, nuclear-powered man should keep all episodes at  maximum of 10 minutes...

3. This team's greatest nemesis...1990's CGI...

5. Reverse Flash still requires anyone to assist him in his plan...

7.  The past is altered...grandpa's dog tags disappear but grandson who was given and wears them doesn't...

Yup...frak any scientific reasoning...

8. League of Assassin's has officially dissociated themselves with Oliver and Sara...

They were tired of their name being besmirched by those two's skillset...

5. Will Smith is apparently one of the best method actors ever...

If you get that joke...you are awesome...

6. Again, Diggle feels guilty about shooting his homicidal brother...would he had felt better if said brother would have killed his entire family...

I am confused...but then again...so are the writers...

7. The most interesting character on the show, Ragman, is also the most underused...

8. Yeah, letting the tormented scarecrow looking guy, with the magic rags that can strangle you, know that you nuked his town was an amazing idea...

Felicity...why is she even relevant anymore...

9. The drug is called Stardust after the wrestler...thank God everyone who doesn't watch the asinine sport got that reference...

10. Does the Arrow Cave even had a security system...like maybe a pit bull on a long leash or something...anything...

Okay...let's recap...in the DC Universe...CPI and Firewalls have not been invented yet...Martha Stewart paints and decorates all military prisons...dirt bikes are number one in vehicle sales...everybody shops at the same leather store...bad cosplay and plot devices are the greatest nemeses...and secret identities are a take it or leave it kinda thing...

#JustaQuickiePlease: Ghostbusters (2016) Review

Paul Fieg does to this beloved franchise what Joel Schumacher did to Batman.  Think one, seemingly never ending, unfunny SNL sketch.  Pretentiously acted, poorly written, and haphazardly put together, this reboot, is so horrible it makes the original Ghostbusters 2 look like an Oscar nominee.   It's obvious someone decided to abort any script structure in place of improved, off the cuff dialogue, but instead of being quick and cunning it feels utterly forced and awkward, making each scene almost agonizing to watch.  Even the effects are so over the top that they gleefully skip through the uncanny valley.  Finally, any hope of redemption attempted by silly cameos and nods to the source material fails as well.  It's an absolute disaster, and that isn't a sexist thing; it is a lack of talent and humor thing.  0 out of 5 Kernels:  With this director and cast, this film never stood a ghost of a chance.

Supergirl Grade: A-

Supergirl Grade: A-

Yes, you read that correctly...and, no, I can't believe I gave it that grade...

1. Gratuitous Superman: The Movie references...

So...much...happiness...

2. A Superman that even Reeves would be proud of...

3. A little less Cat goes a very long way...

4. Apparently, all DC Heroe's hideouts and secret bases come automatically equipped with revolving doors and zero security...

Does CPI not exist in any DC Multiverse...

5. Yes, Superman they have Kryptonite...because the majority of the survivors of Krypton want to kill you and us...

And the last ones turned you and the entire city's populous into zombies...

Just saying...cut J'onn J'onzz a little slack...kay...

6. We are all confused Jimmy...don't feel bad...

7.  Of course, the building still would have collapsed...

But this is still Supergirl after all...we just switched networks...the same writers came with...so...

8. Kara changing outfits before a date montage...just in case you forgot how much DC likes stereotypes...

9. So, tell me...exactly how did Kara go from being a fake news reporter to Ms. Luthor's best friend in like, what, 15 minutes...

10. Best line of the show...We are moving back to Gotham...

Bad guys...nuked

Explosive device...nuked

Submarine...nuked

End credits...

Get the idea....

8. Apparently...Oliver has a submarine and all the appropriate equipment to go deep sea diving in the Arrow Cave....who knew...

9. Also, Oliver and the history guy knew exactly how to access the Waverider's systems...

But add into that...he did it without Felicity and...

It's official...she now has absolutely no purpose whatsoever...

Thanks, writers...you have destroyed the same character on two different shows...kudos...

Oh, and Oliver and history guy being able to access a highly advanced craft with zero knowledge or technical skill was a bit far fetched too...

10. Two words...Eobard Thawne...

Literally has the power to...

Kill everyone who was fighting with Darhk's men...

Kidnap Einstein and his wife and bring them to Darhk...without anyone ever knowing

Build a nuclear device on his own...remember he built the fraking particle accelerator...

Alter the timeline all by himself...

But still not powerful enough to defeat the apparently all-powerful plot device...

That place makes Gotham seem like Aruba...

6. The absence of Diggle's ridiculous helmet...

Netflix has had success story after success story when it comes to their Marvel series, with no end appearing to be in sight.  Well, that undefeated win streak has finally come to a close with their latest installment, Luke Cage.  Originally, Iron Fist was slated to be the next entry in the franchise, but Cage's story was bumped up, in what I can only assume, was a move to reflect the topical issues saturating the media over the last year.   The first seven episodes are empowering, compelling, imaginative, and raw, with exceptional acting and storytelling.  The characters are authentic and thoroughly engaging, with each cast member bringing their dramatic incarnations to exuberant life.   However, the fight and action scenes are a bit disappointing, feeling rushed and poorly choreographed.  That, unfortunately, is a trend that runs throughout the collection of episodes especially compared to the previous two Daredevil entries which set a whole new bar in that area.  It is not, however, that deficit that ruins this production.  Rather, as the series progresses, it becomes incoherent, contradictory, and at points, nonsensical.   Points I will expound on in the spoiler filled review next week.  It appears, as though, there was decided direction that was purposefully altered at the last moment.   The message suddenly becomes overtly preachy, evolving into what seems like propaganda at one point.  In tandem, the characters begin to gradually lose their identities, sacrificing them to a deliberate ideological agenda that steals all of the genuineness of what the first half of the series was conveying.   In the end, instead of empowering, it moves to disenfranchising, appealing to a particular opinion and alienating everyone else.   What's worse, the final payoff is so lackluster and unsatisfying, that it makes the time spent getting there feel like a tremendous waste of time.   A contemporary story could have been effectively told, but bowed to a particular narrative that corrupts the sincerity of its totality.  However, there are some very cool nods to the comic canon and a few Easter eggs that will please the most devout Fanboy or girl; not to mention, the return of a reoccurring fan favorite character that becomes a true highlight of the series.  This is one of my favorite Marvel manifestations, and it is a shame that the message of equality, responsibility, and rising above tragedy and trial, represented by this incredibly inspiring icon, devolved into another status quo, politicized piece.  3 out of 5 Kernels: with my rating, I'm being gracious, because, overall, it is not a total loss, but extremely frustrating for those who have waited so long to see the Power Man brought to life on screen.
