This experiment doesn't go according to plan: briefly; after this laboratory gets it by this rival scientist and her associates, this other scientist on the run has to jab someone unexpected to try and keep this work safe; this work in this case is miniaturisation; you see in this syringe; is this Lieutenant Tuck Pendleton [Dennis Quaid:] nowadays is a test pilot in this little science fiction one person craft for this experiment/mission which should have ended up in a rabbit, but instead he ended up in a human; by the name of Jack Putter/other character [Martin Short:] he works as the Junior Manager of this store, is a pushover and a hypochondriac, nice guy still a hypochondriac, after Lieutenant Pendleton makes some adaptions inside Putter; he can hear, eat or see what he sees and on top of that he can consume whatever  Putter consumes, but they only have a very short window to get Lieutenant Pendleton out of Putter and retrieve the stolen hardware before Lieutenant Pendleton's air supply runs out and consequently he dies, so they go to this one person he trusts Lydia Maxwell [Meg Ryan:] Lieutenant Pendleton's ex-girlfriend that finally got fed up with his out-of-control drinking habits, but they are much better under control these days and she is a news reporter for this newspaper as well.

Generally speaking: the script is predominantly all good, but for one massive detail which I will discuss much later on, the framework and pacing of this 120 minutes film is good, but having said that; it does need a driving force behind it; which at some point I will also discuss in this content

Art, action, character developments and comedy; art is of the most high standard possible as we get to see around Putter's internally and now and again Lieutenant Pendleton takes a rough ride in Putter's body which is very much depending on what is going on in the outside world as well, so we will have these kind of character developments/comedy of Lieutenant Pendleton trying to talk to Putter, because he doesn't realise that someone is inside him he goes down a rabbit hole of voices may be in his head and consequently we have this beautifully timed back and forth between two other patients in the waiting room with Putter where it is one of those back and forth's that are designed to get confusing quickly or/and Putter feeling incredible pain on the back of his one or both of his eyes due to the adaptions being made or Putter/Short dancing something to the effect of even Mick Jagger would be proud of in this one sequence With him drinking with his new on-board companion Lieutenant Pendleton. 

Character developments and performances; now obviously away from what I have just been discussing broadly speaking the character developments and the performances are good; and a special mention has to go out to Quaid, Short and Ryan; between trio or/and pairings or individually; they are driving force behind the project and without them this film would have really crumbled in essence they all bring different enthusiasm to this project; I would really like to give them another mark, but because of another situation I can't.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean if you have never seen this film it is a good watch and as I have already referenced the artistic visions are amazing, but likewise I can't stand the closing of this film as it clearly suggests our story is not over yet, but this film doesn't have a sequel and there is an ongoing sequence underneath the closing credits. This film does have some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners; which includes but not limited to  Academy Awards, USA 1988 Oscar Best Effects, Visual Effects Dennis Muren Bill George Harley Jessup Kenneth Smith and 5 Nominees which also include but not limited to Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA 1987 Golden Reel Award Best Sound Editing - Feature Film Mark A.

10 years later: briefly; we meet Asia Reaves/another name [Zazie Beetz:] she is an ex-convict that has recently gotten out of prison, that has gotten into this job at this high rise location as a member of the maid/cleaner stuff she is also on a secret mission.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script and the many components/elements to this film have many traits of other well-known titles such as Kill Bill: Volume 1 & Volume 2: 2003 and 2004, The Evil Dead Trilogy between 1981-1993, The Raid/The Raid: Redemption 2011 and this film is very much a flavour of Oriental martial arts films mixed together to bring this film to live; so obviously with all those being referenced; the framework, character developments and pacing of this 95 minutes film is tight and free-flowing, exposition on the character developments with a pacing which is always constructively moving and simultaneously coinciding with the framework to bring these chaotic to the forefront with spot on rotations and sometimes slow-motion effects being used.

Action, art, comedy, character developments and performance; now if you didn't know this; by the film's I have already referenced that this film is heavily graphic in one way or another; so all three of these components coincide one another as in insanely non-stop action, incredibly visual and consequently sometimes comical, as an example we have the character's eye spying on this ongoing situation, as it has the ability to obviously roll around, but it also has the ability to scale up this air vent; basically this film has so much happening in it that... you can't get bored with it, but it does leave me a little bit stuck what to put in this content; just because of its graphic nature which I myself have no problem with it; it just leaves me a bit short on what is safe but in this content though, I have just remembered we have our lead role going on this dark room with this axe on fire, to use as a torch and as a weapon; this is truly firstly manic action, which in turn turns into exquisite art, which turns into perfect comedy and simultaneously perfect character developments and performance.

Character developments, performances and voice performance; by and large these character developments are well rounded versions of what they are meant to be, which are performed excellently to a foundation level, Beetz already had a good foundation, based on her character's exposition/history, but her character grows more rounded throughout this film as she does deals with this situation and anything that may come away and the voice performers is good as well.

But hypothetically if there is to be a sequel at some point in the future they need to bring back Beetz as she has now made this character/role her very own and as I said earlier or made reference to earlier this feels like just the foundation level of these characters that could be possible to come back in the sequel and yes these would also need the same performers as well

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; I think by now I have made it crystal clear that at minimum this film moves, but more often than not it is all gas and no breaks carnage, there is to begin with engaging art in the ending credits and then an extra little thing they sound effect at the end of the ending credits and yes this film does have an awards accredited to its name; SXSW Film Festival 2026 Audience Award Headliners Kirill Sokolov [but it has to be said this film does at minimum it does deserve more nominees, because it doesn't seem right that they put this level of effort into making this film not to have at least 5 positive nominees to its name.]

3 Days: briefly; we meet Kara Zor-El/Supergirl [Milly Alcock:] it is her 23rd birthday and she was having a good time until things turned sideways, she now has 3 days to save her dog Krypto, simultaneously she picks up an unwanted companion;  Ruthye Marye Knoll [Eve Ridley:] she is seeking revenge against those that have killed her entire family and at some point or another we get to meet Lobo [Jason Momoa:] he is an alien mercenary and bounty hunter, that sometimes likes to crack jokes

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, character developments, framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film; are those outdated, formulaic origin scripts that Marvel used to do; Cough, Cough; Guardians of the Galaxy 2014... Who said that? But the problem is it is no longer 2000s or/and 2010s [this will not be the only time I make reference to these decades,] the only reason that this works here is because we haven't seen Supergirl in a standalone film title since 1984; but hypothetically if they were to try this again in the future with a reboot or a sequel or anything; they are not going to be so fortunate, basically you get one time to do this kind of storyline/script and the other surrounding elements and that is it.

Art, comedy and action; the outer-space/planets, landscapes, set designs, costumes and/or little creatures/characters; this is all things I can work with; they are all highly engaging detailed in their own unique ways; I like the comedy as it relates to Zor-El/Supergirl: giving these characters the opportunity to opt out of this impending rumble and the bus sequence was lots of good fun, but for the love of god, can you get the message that it is no longer the 2000s or the 2010s anymore, because towards the end of this movie we have a lot of quick moving action with slow motion effects and that kind of garbage and whilst I'm on the subject whomever did the line/lines for Zor-El/Supergirl's eye beans, how about next time you don't make them look so tacky, maybe just maybe on some occasions you may have wanted to use a ruler, but seriously these fast moving/slow motion sequence are outdated and lazy, especially when we are going on underneath to overhead, you may think that these are still edgy and cool, but they are as thrilling, but in reality they are as thrilling/potent as an 80-year-old man with retinal dysfunction and a low sperm count as well

Character developments, performances, comedy and voice performances; likewise what I said about the script from the aspect of; these components here are very formulaic; paint by numbers that kind of thing, which from the trio of performers that I have already referenced in the opening section really do try to do their best with what has been given to them; it doesn't give them much space to implement themselves on their roles other than Momoa as Lobo: he was born to play this role and he embodies Lobo, I would really like to make reference to some of his comedy, but I can't because of its mature to adult themes, but I can say this; even though he isn't a lot in this film, when he appears he makes a big impact and briefly because this is not his film, I really cannot stomach David Corenswet as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman; he is the cousin of Zor-El/Supergirl; I mean from the outset I was never keen on him anyway, but after seeing him briefly throughout this film... Just no more thank you, but if or when we see another project could we have these trio of characters and their performers back please and the little bits and pieces of voice performance we do get is good as well.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; as this film goers it has comfortably enough to get given this mark and full disclosure I missed about maybe 15 minutes simply because I really had to go to the bathroom, but I am not an idiot, this film does have many god dammit so many problems surrounding it on one level or another that I can't fully discuss them all here, so I will be doing another piece of content to be dropped linked the bottom of this content on its completion and going live. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Nominees; Golden Trailer Awards 2026 Golden Trailer Award Best Summer 2026 Blockbuster Trailer Rise, Warner Bros., Mark Woollen & Associates/AV Squad

Warning: there is a rainbow community component/burning/medical

In Wales: briefly; we meet Henry, 5th Marquess of Anglesey [Callum Scott Howells:] he is flamboyant and by today's standards a member of the rainbow community, but  heir apparent to his father's titles businesses and fortune upon his death, but for now here's got to learn the ropes on how to act the role he will be given in the future, but he doesn't have a lot of time left was well; essentially he says hell to that, I am going to get married to my best friend to assist us to get out of our situations; her name is Lily [Ruby Stokes:] she looks to be getting married to someone that she doesn't like, but as I have already referenced they come up with a plan to change all that and they agree to a nonsexual relationship and basically this is their story.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script only really covers this time in Wales and words on screen later, the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film is good

Art; the landscapes, set design, costumes, make-up and anything other really including this fantastic and felt dance performance from our lead character/performer Henry/Howells called; Butterfly Dance

Character developments, comedy and performances; these are all good; the character developments are throughout are good versions of what they are meant to be in their stations in life, the comedy comes from predominately our lead, as from this time in history his flamboyant and/or eccentricities may start off comical as showing up for tea late and after an incident leaving with his dog, but much later taking a darker turn as he wants to buy everything from this shelf from this jewellery store or store similar to this. So by in large the performances from this cast are very good performances and chemistry throughout the entire cast, this film has a three point spearhead to rely on the first two I have already referenced; but we now have Rupert Everett as Gelert; he is a long serving Butler type of character, but his roles include in this case charge of Henry [which for the younger generations this basically means; if Henry screws up not only is it Henry's fault, it is also the fault of his charge; because it is his responsibility to ensure that he doesn't do anything stupid or to bring his family name into disrepute or literally anything you can think of:] This trio but in excellent performances.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; if you are into Biopic or history or costume dramas this film will suit you down to the ground, there are some bits and pieces in the closing credits section. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner FOCUS Wales Film Festival 2026  Best Director Feature Film Celyn Jones and 1 Nominee Frameline San Francisco International LGBTQ Film Festival 2026 Audience Award Comcast Audience Award for Narrative Feature Celyn Jones (director)

The ROH World Champion Bandido vs. Champ the Death Riders': Jon Moxley;  Singles Match for the AEW Continental Championship: I am still expecting interference from Moxley's faction even though Marina Shafir can't be at ringside and on top of that because of the previous match as well I thought expect some kind of massive brawl

Warning/Disclaimer: there will be flashing effects/colourful effects/rainbow community component/reference to bodily functions and there will be slightly censored adult language references in this content. Disclaimer: I am not referring to a section of our society as cult I am just talking about how it looks and feels like in this project, but then again in the current world we live in I can't help it if some of you get triggered by what I say.

Well this is just propaganda, rainbow community, virtual signalling, horse manure!: Briefly; we meet Martha [Josephina Hauler-Davies:] a 23-year-old disabled individual [severe level of cerebral palsy;] that is a lesbian and she takes us partly through a day of her life involving but not limited to going on a date.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is only 6 minutes long, but incredibly so damaging to my community of disabled people and for those people that don't know I have a severe level of cerebral palsy myself, so before I receive any backlash; this is very much a case of I know what I am talking about, so if you're going to come at me, make sure you have some idea of what you're talking about at minimum, because I will probably hand your posterior to you on a silver platter within about 2 minutes, I mean I could probably do it in 20 seconds; but I like to give people a sporting chance.

Firstly the whole concept of waking up in this manner of everything is going to be okay today is just a false narrative, when in reality and I do stress in reality which this film seems to be placed in a fantasy world where everyone's dumps come out like candy floss and being happy will get you through every day and we can go to bed having a fulfilling life without too much difficulty; other than worrying about if someone likes me, having access to a venue or/and having problems with a sign that doesn't fully cater to your specific inclusivity.

I mean wow if these were just my problems on a day-to-day basis maybe I could produce a dump out of candy floss to; but from the age of 16 to as of this content being first created in my 40s; dealing with bills, politics and bureaucracy of this standard of life, rejection of any kind as it relates to my disability, mental health - depression, lack of genitals size and/or literally anything else.

Can I just say even in 2026 which trust me when I say 1986, 2026 or any time in the future if you have assistant is required issues of any kind, it is up to the disabled individual in question to telephone up way beforehand or/and do some research on the place in question, basically don't be a complete vagina head and just presume or/and even if they tell you on the phone everything will be fine, until you have gone through the routine once presume nothing.

The fact that she is 23 years old and finds this all the annoying... is completely beyond me based on the grounds when I was 23 years old I was already a seasoned veteran and somewhat she finds a rainbow sign offensive because it says something to the effect of "We Stand Together" or something to this sentiment, but what is important here is she doesn't like the words "Stand." Because that doesn't fully include her; And? Seriously And? At the age of 23 you might want to consider growing up if this is problematic for you...

The fact that by the end of this propaganda piece of manure everything works out right is nauseating really fudgin' nauseating, because it pains an unrealistic reality on average of a disabled person's life, so much so that throughout my life I have had to combat this false narrative of because someone has a support network, that doesn't mean to say every disabled person has a support network or/and a good one at that, so I had to deal with comments like; but you have your family behind you. Wrong, but you have good friends behind you. Wrong, but there is someone out there forever one, you just have to look. Wrong. You have lots of money because of your disability. Wrong; in a nutshell they give you enough money to survive and the more I think about it, the more I think this project just reinforces stereotypes so that so-called normal people can just use them as defence cliches, as to escape from a potentially uncomfortable situation and avoid actually getting to know the real person behind the disability or illness or other and maybe come to the realisation that the public perception about disabled people broadly speaking having an easy life on benefits is 100% false and those that push is narrative are in essence financially gaining from the aspect of; if we take more benefits away from the most vulnerable which in essence is much easier instead of going after the wealthy, because we hold the purse strings of the benefits system and not forgetting they can't fight back.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; in conjunction with everything I have said so far; these character types are incredibly weak in fact a pile of manure would be a much better description; yet again they are highly unrealistic as everything has the order of even though things go wrong in the end everything is alright; as you can probably guess this is the biggest issue I have with this project, to the point where I am getting infuriated by ignorance.

Because I have been disabled for 40+ years at this point and those of a significant disability or illness or other would agree with me on some level at minimum; there are two types of disabled or ill or others; there are those that deliberately live in sheltered life or you have someone like me that lives between two worlds the normal world and the disabled/others and yes there are those that need to be protected from the real world for their own good.

But by and large as this film shows live in a sheltered life where everything is safe and what I can see there are no major threats or disagreements or anything to upset the fragile nature of this landscape/mentality is a dangerous way to live a life as they don't learn skills to deal with things or deal with any kind of negativity and/or someone so forth so the whole character developments, I believe it to be highly dangerous for this project to float the idea that for an example if I was a member of the rainbow community on any on any level that I would be entitled to this level of support and safety, which let’s call it for what it is shall we; implications to coercive behaviour strategy;as in do you think the selection of people would make this effort for anyone else outside of their community? Hell no, so it kind of implies that join us and you will feel respected, heard and wanted; if you wanted to make some elements of the rainbow community sound like a cult; good job here, just the record I am saying it sound like it; I am not saying it is and finally the performances and voice performances are poorly acted on any level or any form as well.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; now the person I watch some of this content also had the unfortunate mishap to see this project as well and as we are two salty veterans as it comes to this lifestyle; they said and I am paraphrasing here; that it was embarrassing and I just went with it was manure.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/robotics/disintegrating/medical and adapted adult language reference.

After this tragic mishap: basically; Dog Man/other characters [voiced by Peter Hastings:] he is a hybrid of his namesake, he protects and serves the people of Ohkay City; we get to witness and experience what happens for a short time in this location.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 89 minutes film is let's be honest very much like the art, comedy and action all very much quick paced, lively and ever so slightly off the wall; it is absolutely harmless, but it is very suitable for me to say; it is off the wall, what with appealing vibrant and captivating  art, with the comedy using the free-flowing nature to the comical such as for the older generations our lead character briefly playing some music to the old folks and one old folk for an office chair and much later on another character adapting John McClane's [Bruce Willis] quote Yippee-ki-yay mother lover: all I can suggest is their intention it gets used but as I have already indicated this sentiment and the speed pattern will be there but they have obviously this adapted it to fit in with this film and finally roughly around or just before the final quarter we have these robots doing battle basically like the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in the sense of robots and collateral damage.

Character developments and voice performances; on both counts; they follow or/and become their characters such as voice performances, so at this moment in time theoretically and completely guessing here with a little bit of facts just looking this up; there are 10 main books and 4 spin-off, so 14 in total they could maybe make a sequel or/and safely a trilogy in film form; so as it relates back to this film; it is very much the foundation level of character work and simultaneously voice performance in print, but if they want to make any more films they will have to bring back this cast as they very much make these characters their very own

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; as I have already referenced in one way or another, this film is just harmless enthusiastic madness, as this project is built for yes young families, but it does have that universal appeal to all. There are extra little bits and pieces roughly around the closing credits, the only downside to this film is as of when this content was first created; this film doesn't have any awards accredited to its name being Winners or/and Nominations.
