Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/bodily functions/burning/medical/references to cancer and outdated references including which may cause offence to those of the rainbow community or not.

I need a nanny: basically; Miranda Hillard [Sally Field:] she is a partner at Gregory, Henderson and Hillard; I believe it to be a renovating property business of a very high standard, unfortunately she has decided to divorce her husband; Daniel Hillard/many characters and their voices or voices [Robin Williams:] he is a voice actor which has just become unemployed, enthusiastic about life, not the most maturest of individuals, but one thing is 100% certain he loves his children and comes down to be away from. So he applies to be the nanny to look after his three children, I mean Daniel put forward the idea that he could look after the children for a few hours after school, but Miranda didn't go for that, so he came up with a character Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire; a strict but fair Scottish old lady that is a widow and his name was Winston.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 125 minutes film is good; I know, I know I usually break things down into smaller sections, but this is one of those occasions where in this case everything revolves around its lead characters from its lead role in Robin Williams; in short to begin with he is the entire reason that this film is individually or together fondly remembered and/or a classic that everyone should see once in your lifetime from voicing in one way or another different characters to becoming Doubtfire; having this small musical number ["Don't Rain on My Parade" 1964 version by Barbra Streisand, on reflection I believe this is because Daniel looks like Barbra Streisand or to cover my back this is what they were going for and I think there is other musical elements as well, they have a compilation thing going on with the right look for Daniel;] as a good bit of art, be it being a woman and having these very long days, using a broom has a guitar, almost being mugged but putting up a fight and these let's just call them bits of the advice to Miranda on dating and many other comedy and action elements; that makes this film very lively and incredibly easy to settle down with

Character developments, voice performances and performances; broadly speaking first of all they are all good versions which are built for fluent chemistry throughout the cast, their performances reflect this as well and with Daniel/Doubtfire they went with the narrative of growth from the experience, so if I haven't made this clear already the voice performance from Williams well if you know anything about Williams; him doing voices; is second nature to him as in this sequence of events the audience will see he just rattled off different voices and one still impression; this is Williams at his naturally best.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; [I know I have already said this already but it is worth repeating] it is a classic that everyone should see once in their lifetime. This film has some awards to its name such as 11 Winners that includes Academy Awards, USA Oscars Best Makeup Greg Cannom Ve Neill Yolanda Toussieng and Golden Globes, USA 1994 Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical Robin Williams. 10 Nominees that includes Casting Society of America, USA Artios Award Best Casting for Feature Film, Comedy Jane Jenkins Janet Hirshenson and Awards Circuit Community Awards 1993 ACCA Best Actor in a Leading Role Robin Williams

Warning: there will be censored adult language references at some point in this content

Well what a complete fudge up this is!: I am absolutely furious by this turn of events, it is clear to me now that they cannot make any future stars in their own backyard, they have to go and purchase other talents from elsewhere such as Jordynne Grace [TNA,] Stephanie Vaquer [Revolution Pro Wrestling/AEW,] Ricky Starks/Ricky Saints [AEW] and others. But Lee was pretty much built especially over the last 5 years as The Guy/The Man the air apparent to smash it on the main rosters, I mean he literally made the NXT North American Championship prestigious with his 269 day reign, but then again I have just realised this is not the first time you have taken a fantastic talent and well and truly fudged them up WWE, how about Carmella Hayes; he has gone from HIM to who?

But I digress how can you not find a spot for Lee? Unless you are trying to tell me at the age of 30 years old [as of this content being first created,] he is too old? Everyone knows that who has ever seen him wrestle he should find himself in the main event scene at some point as he can confidently with his high skills wrestle with anyone, I mean he could have been something like that Rey Mysterio.

This is nothing personal to Lee or anyone else, but it has to be said; what is the point of having NXT if you spend all of this time, energy and resources in building up your future talent, if you don't then at minimum give that future talent which will turn into present times in decent opportunity to see how far they can get? Because I really did have Lee marked as someone that spent a large portion of their career within the WWE machine like maybe until his early 40's at minimum.

My last two points are obvious; Lee you are more than welcome to cross the great divide into AEW and finally after this release I don't want to hear that AEW can't build fresh talent, before you criticise one promotion you should take a long hard look in your own backyard that is for sure.

 Now You See Me 2013 by AverageMansReviews


Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drowning/animal feeding/shooting/vehicle crashing/stabbing/burning/medical/reference to the rainbow community

The Four Horsemen get assembled: briefly; this unknown individual sends out these four cards to these four gifted individuals from the world of magic, illusion, street magic, escapist and mentalist and hypnotist; such as J. Daniel Atlas [Jesse Eisenberg:] he is very difficult about everything, he performs illusions and street magic, he is to have an assistant which swiftly brings me on to Henley Reeves [Isla Fisher:] they went their separate ways and yes they clearly have a history, she performs stage magic and she is an escapist; but alongside the other two numbers they have three performances to perform for this unknown individual.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 124 minutes film is well... very awkward as things begin with such gusto with real purpose and enthusiasm, with a year time jump [which I will discuss this later,] where somewhere around more less the three-quarter stage of this film things really do begin to slow down and struggle for a while in which time I fell asleep, but woke up again to catch the final section; on reflection this film slows down that much that I can't believe it is only 124 minutes long, because man it really drags its feet.

Comedy, action and art; Woody Harrelson as Merritt McKinney: he is a hypnotist/mentalist and claims to be a psychic, he pulls out this hypnotist trick wife whilst including the husband the dust down for some money to keep one of his secrets a secret, which he does pay up so he returns wife without any memory of what they had just discussed McKinney is very much the comedic component of the group. The art is very much fitting in with the whole magic mystical presentation of this film; it is meant to be big, bold and sometimes beautiful or/and sometimes horrific to distract or/and mesmerise its audiences which it does that fantastic ease be it using playing cards, fish tank with piranhas or using this teleporting machine or even how this Intel is provided has been given a spectacular entrance into the film.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are very foundational: as they are of the concept of mostly everyone getting to know everyone that kind of thing regardless of history or/and reputation and whilst I am on the subject I did find the one time jump to be incredibly lazy, because this group have obviously moved on as it relates to their character/chemistry building, but we haven't been there to experience it, so straight away the characters and the viewers are a part in their stages of getting to know one another, but as they are; they are good just have this audience connection problem with these character developments that fulfil their purpose for the first journey out and moving on to the performances likewise broadly speaking they are good; but when the tempo drops of this film; they have been left hanging high and dry, they are still able to manufacture chemistry but it does come across as melodic, so I am hoping they don't repeat this in this sequel.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; like I have already made reference in one way or another yes this film does begin really lively as there is lots happening, but somewhere around the three-quarter stage or more or less, everything began to really slow down so I missed a good section of this film, but I did wake up to watch the closing stages, you see; if you have been around content creating for as long as I have you will have spells of perhaps once every three years or so, where you will just have a bad patch of content in my case reviewing and that is where we are at the moment. The person I watch some others contend agree with me where they said I am paraphrasing here; it began really enthusiastically and from out of nowhere it just hit the wall and took ages to compose itself. It does have some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner People's Choice Awards, USA 2014 People's Choice Award Favorite Thriller Movie and 3 Nominees which includes but not limited to Empire Awards, UK 2014 Empire Award Best Thriller

Average Extra of: Gary Neville Not facing any discipline actions from Sky Sports 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Gary Neville Not facing any discipline actions from Sky Sports 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be censored adult language references and it will be uncomfortably real and at no point am I condoning either situation.

Real Talking Time:


Sky Sports now have a big problem: so people criticise Sir Keir Starmer for being Two Tier Keir which to be honest on reflection it started off slowly, to the point where I can now see it in all its glory [obviously I am being sarcastic;] so let me get this right, Antoine Semenyo gets verbally racially abused by this so-called football fan in a wheelchair is now banned from every UK stadium, meanwhile Gary Neville can go on about middle-aged white men being angry and face absolutely no repercussions from Sky Sports.

When yes I have no idea what this person said in a wheelchair they have been suggestions of what he could have said, but it in this case is irrelevant because clearly been made reference to race, but Neville makes a reference to white and yet that is okay, I mean yes I am fully aware he is Caucasian, but then we also find out that this individual that created this situation at this religious place of worship wasn't white to begin with.

So we now have two points of awkwardness to contain with; we now have Gary Neville spouting off let's be honest here and say it was manure without facts; stoking the flames of division even though he calls for unity, I don't know how that was meant to work, when he clearly blames middle-aged white men and then to find out that the perpetrator was not white to begin with and yet Sky Sports are taking the option to not reprimand him in any way shape or form is ball manure.

When I now find it highly comical now [yes once again I am being sarcastic] when everyone talks about inclusivity, take a knee and all that garbage, what you actually mean is; believe in what we believe, do what we do or you can be silenced.

So I have a rhetorical question; what is the difference between your ideology to the likes of Reform UK or President Donald Trump? Because essentially you are the same just polarising opposites, yes I mean left but I am much more of a central person, where no one wants equality, I mean you say you wanted but do you really? As far I can tell equality is a pipe dream that everyone says they wanted until it doesn't serve them anymore.

Like I got reminded of where I sit in this world a few weeks ago; I am going to paraphrase this situation, but don't misunderstand me it happened: I was peacefully having lunch with the person I want some of this content with and from out of nowhere two security guards approached me and this person with allegations of inappropriate behaviour as it relates to OnlyFans, which based on the fact this is where I have lunch I declined to speak on this topic because I had no idea of what they were talking about, so I took this outside where at this point I now have three security guards over 6 foot tall each around keeping in mind I have brain damage and essentially most of my body doesn't work properly so I am in a wheelchair and the other person is at best 5'4 in height: so what I am trying to indicate here is we hold absolutely no threat, so I had to face the delegations of inappropriate behaviour, because they were not upfront with me I denied these allegations of these comments, then my brain started to figure out what had happened; three weeks previous I was under the impression I was having a joke with a friend, where someone had twisted my words including not actually saying some words, so needless to say I am now banned from this location and now has to watch my mouth.

Meanwhile girls and/or women can go around wearing very little clothing and yet no one says a thing, even when it is clearly grounds for public indecency laws: on the grounds of I now find it incredibly uncomfortable no I am not approved, it is just if I look at the wrong place in the wrong second, I will be the one getting into trouble not the girls or/and women that go out dressed like that.

So as things stand I am extremely conscientious and afraid of talking to women so as I have a mental illness already which is slowly but surely getting worse, because I am on a very tight rope, I ask this question often lately how am I going to meet somebody [just for the record previously in this content I did make reference to this woman just being a friend, but I'm now talking broadly.] The website thing doesn't work for me, because as soon as someone finds out I am in a wheelchair and they quickly disappear, so all I can say is; I hope that everyone understands that eventually men's mental health is going to get much worse and we will have to suffer in silence. Because we know one of two things; the first being is there are some women out there that believe men's mental health is a myth and secondly it is a weakness.

Screw it I have been in two minds if I want to say the next bit; it is so easy for people to say that people are just angry because of their lot in life or a lack of, that is such a chicken manure answer; because okay there maybe some lazy individuals out there, but for people like myself I have had to earn everything that I have including but not limited to dealing with my circumstances of being in a wheelchair, but to know that someone can make up false or/and stretched allegations to destroy another person or just go on OnlyFans for an example making lots of money for showing her body off, essentially having a life on easy street and then have unreal expectations about life, which if you think about it also creates division, based on the facts of obviously no one can compete with that broadly speaking obviously, but also is massively disrespectful to people that work really hard and long hours to make a real difference in the world such as doctors and nurses and etcor use a throwaway racial slur about me when if I was to do it to another section or forget someone's pronouns I would be cancelled, so absolutely there may be some thugs in these situations and the vast majority of England is and has always been multicultural society, but at the same time Brexit was and is firstly completely mis-sold to us and secondly every nationality that calls England/the United Kingdom home is correct me if I am wrong approaching a decade is probably getting fed up paying for it.

You see I am a central slightly left leaning individual that is multicultural, so I wouldn't be so ignorant to label one section this or that, but smart enough just to point out that I have had individual in the keyword here is individual run-ins with members from different cultures/different sections that doesn't mean I then label every member of that section the same; I will leave this content on this comical outlook, how come it takes one very partly brain-damaged individual should point this out when most of you have a fully active brain to think for yourselves.

Warning/Just a heads up: there will be censored adult language and on paper this event looks good, but is it me or even know I know what roughly is happening in this promotion; things are looking a bit stagnant

The Vision's: the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins vs. The Undisputed WWE Champion King Rhodes; Singles Match for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship: my pick is Seth Rollins. Due to his stable's involvement and whilst I'm here can I just say that I think this stipulation is complete manure and WWE's narcissism on full display, I have no idea why they just don't create a Men and Women's International Championships, where there is only 3 simple rules attached to these Championships; these Championships are prohibited from being defended in the USA and Canada, but for an example Mexico is fine and at minimum must be defended twice a year [I am trying to keep them prestigious, so two, three or four times a year would be absolutely fine] and if you are unable to defend the championship you are subsequently stripped of it and it is up for grabs at the next national event. I am not being arrogant here, but this would be an excellent idea for these Championships instead of this situation.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles; Singles Match: my pick is John Cena. Just based on the grounds of his last Premium Live Event outing he lost to Brock Lesnar

Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky vs. The Kabuki Warriors': Asuka & Kairi Sane; Tag Team Match: my pick is The Kabuki Warriors': Asuka & Kairi Sane. So usually in these situations, the heels in this match slot should just about escape the W, Ripley for the next round of TV content should be pointing out to Sane that she deserves better leading to WWE Survivor Series: WarGames Saturday 29/11/2025 Ripley being blindsided by Sky as she rejoins Asuka & Sane.

The WWE Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer vs. the WWE Women's Champion Tiffani Stretton; Singles Match for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship: my pick is Tiffani Stretton. Based on interference from Nia Jax, she clearly has come for Stratton, but she screws up and accidentally hits Vaquer, Jade Cargill if medically cleared After what happened on Friday 26/09/2025: can do the chase away spot, consequently Stratton picks up the W.

Roman Reigns vs. The Vision's: Bronson Reed [with Paul Heyman;] Australian Street Fight: my pick is Roman Reigns. This match/main event is going to be incredibly messy, yes it should be good but as I have been around wrestling long enough to know using a stipulation of this manner invites interference; so clearly what I am suggesting here is; this could be at minimum the start/dress rehearsal for who is going to be in the men's WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, to create this newsworthy/closing angle to finish this event on.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/cutting/torture/medical/references to Russia

5 years later: briefly; Agent Joe Travers/other names [Scott Eastwood:] he is retired, but is on a mission with his wife, but Agent Chester [Sylvester Stallone:] he is sent to take out this husband-and-wife.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments, framework and pacing of this 95 minutes film; is messy go in the wrong it makes sense kind of but it doesn't give us a full rounded picture and this is one of those rare occasion, for us the viewers to get the understanding in some cases we need to see things, I will discuss this more later on, but needless to say as things are it comes off really cheap and tacky and incredibly lazy, so in response to that it makes the framework and pacing nonsensical from the aspect of Who? What the hell? Where are we going now? Then it suddenly drops like a stone as when we go to these characters sitting around possibly at this table, then for all intents and purposes we are back out in the field.

Art, action and comedy; for some reason [ I say with some reason based on the quality of this artistic sequence and the quality of the rest of the film, is very poor:] but however the artistic red opening sequence is high quality, but for the rest of the film the green-screen effects are let's be polite highly noticeable, the action sequences are plentiful with guns and combat; basically Mike Colter as Orlin: without giving too much away as he is a leader of this group sent in to retrieve something: but in this one sequence of events he shoots the grenades into these three separate windows to hopefully burn out/bring out these characters or with one character in a nutshell asking another character if they can join them, with in response after killing this individual saying something to the effect of access denied.

Character developments and performances; I need to make this crystal clear that if we just had the substandard character types for this type of action film, which we do on some aspects with some characters, but to have this exposition of 5 years, including but not limited to making references to this organisation in some fashion, without actually seeing them in the slightest, well to be brutally honest it is incredibly tedious and tiresome, which infringes on the is paint by numbers character types, so broadly the performances are a mixed bag of poor to mostly mediocre with one exception: Colter as Orlin; he is the one that looks and feels natural as this character type; so this is all good; he very much standout as a character and simultaneously a performer it as well.

Alexa is in music 1/10, this film is poor; in theory this film should have been somewhere between 5 or 6 or at a push 7/10, because everything about this project is designed to be an action film, you know something straightforward without too much hassle. But back in reality the execution is absolute garbage; yes it may have some good elements or/and components, but the negatives greatly outweigh the positives; it's very much whatever talent this cast as at its disposal and like I have already referenced it leaves everything open for a sequel, based on here and now if it doesn't it makes this ending look like garbage and if it does the person I watch some of this content with has already very much declined to watch the sequel.

Best of the Best 1989 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/burning/dislocation/racism/domestic violence/bodily functions/medical/references to vehicle hit

Team Korea vs. Team USA: briefly:  Alex Grady [Eric Roberts:] he is currently an auto mechanic engineer,  a dodgy shoulder, he used to be one of the best martial artists in the world and one son, but when he is on this opportunity, he goes in for this tryout, where he and a small selection of other martial artists are selected to take on the highly talented, skilled and ruthless martial artists from Korea. The head coach of Team USA is one; Coach Frank Couzo [James Earl Jones:] he will not tolerate less than 100% of their focus, dedication and determination to be victorious.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing; well for the framework we have plenty of training montages and slow motion effects, the pacing of this 97 minute film is good; as in it is uncomplicated as it moves with good purpose

Action, comedy and art; we have martial arts; including a bar brawl which has moments of comedy in it, before I continue I should point out that there are some outdated comedy references, but I digress; Grady is using a telephone in this bar to phone home to talk to his family; meanwhile things/this situation is brewing, so it eventually kicks off with these bar patrons and the Team USA, where Grady quickly finishes the telephone call to participate in this rumble, then we have some scenery training of some description first with Team Korea standing under this waterfall or Team USA running on a beach as the sun goes down and we have the opening ceremony with all of its prestigious grandeur.

Character developments and performances; the character developments have a good variety to them; such as in one way or another some deaths [no these characters don't die so this is not a spoiler,] or something like Chris Penn as Travis Brickley: he is a martial artist of the Team USA, that happens to be in one of those guys that is an unpleasant person and he is a hothead to; we also have these elements of coming-of-age: even though these characters are fully grown, we still have elements of this character growth; just not the young age part associated with this expression: especially good performances with good chemistry throughout this cast, an excellent performance from Roberts and obviously a masterful performance from the one and only Earl Jones as he really does legitimise this whole sport/competition, with his larger-than-life stage presence and booming voice of a strict nature, consequently because he legitimises this sport/competition he also legitimises this film to be taken seriously as Rocky 1976: with predominantly 3 major differences: the difference in sports; one being martial arts and the other in boxing and on some research this film had $5 million as a budget and altogether took $16 million at the box office, whilst Rocky 1976 had $1.1 million as its budget and took an astronomical $225 million at the box office. But back to this film; Earl Jones should have without a shadow of doubt been at the very least nominated for some positive awards for this really strict and gritty performance, I will even go one more step and say he should have won a positive award somewhere for this performance and Roberts should have been nominated for some awards as well, but my point here is; without Earl Jones in this film; okay it would probably been still on average a good movie, but just a good movie probably circling in my opinion a 6/10: it is difficult to tell because he has such a massive bearing on this film it would be hard to tell if I have gotten my prediction spot on or possibly less in the marking.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; even though it is a little bit cheesy from time to time, the reason it gets this marking is simple; it knows what it is and it sticks to that and does the best with what it has at its disposal, so this is one those rare occasions I have to say it is; the final piece of this section is incredibly harsh and completely unwarranted, because if you choose to watch this film on average and hopefully; you will come to the conclusion of this film clearly knows what it is, so I am not sure how they could have avoided this negative award, even if they could go back and change it.
