Blue Beetle (2023)

Fun summer movie

[8/10 · 27 August 2023]

I didn't know anything about the history of the comic book Blue Beetle and I didn't need to in order to watch and enjoy this movie. About time. I'm tired of having to watch every single Marvel/Star Wars limited series on Disney+ because you know whenever the next movie comes out you won't have a clue what's going on.

I'm exhausted by movies being dissected frame by frame. Whatever happened to some mindless escapism?

This movie was great. The Reyes family is cute and funny. Okay, the villains were on the lame side, but the fight scenes were good.

I liked Blue Beetle because he is a new movie character. I'm getting tired of endless sequels and reboots of the same old characters.

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (2021–2022)

Episode 1 - good start

[9/10 · 26 March 2021]

Movies are fast paced and in your face. TV shows can be a bit more laid back. This isn't the Mighty Duck movies. The first show is a bit slower as the story is established but I thought the kids were great. Lauren Graham works as an overprotective mom. Emilio Estevez's Gordon Bombay has taken quite the turn from where he was 25 years ago but you know that he's going to get behind the down on their luck kids who can barely skate. Some of the kids (now adults) from the movies will be making cameos and it'll be fun to see them on the show.
