Well this sucks posterior!: Obviously the first thing I would like to do is send condolences to his family, friends and the adopted family within AEW and anyone other at this time; he was a very talented individual that should have been at one point or another should have been a main event champion [minus NXT: NXT Champion, but he was the inaugural NXT Tag Team Champion with Oliver Grey] this goes for the WWE and AEW, because when you have such a special talent that can take nothing and turn it into something special such as WWE Cruiserweight Championship [2 times: on WWE 205 Live; yes I don't regard this as a major main event picture either] then you know you have some very special indeed and this is the first time we got to experience the gimmick that would later on be called outside of the WWE PAC, where he went from someone with lots of potential and talent, now with a very suitable gimmick for him that turned him into potentially a main eventer.

He went to AEW in 2019 where he unleashed this gimmick known as PAC properly; okay within the WWE he started to show more of this ground and pound mixed with highly technical wrestling style other than his highflying wrestling style, but with in AEW it felt he could be his authentic gimmick/wrestling style;he very much outgrew his 5'8 height to become a pound for pound wrestler where he did pick up various Championships such as the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Championship and other partner based Championships: this is just another very sad day in professional wrestling and for just two minutes forget the tribalism; AEW is having a few dark days lately with Williams, with Steven Borden taking by all accounts that horrible bump [at AEW All Out where PAC had his last wrestling match:] where I am only seen still pictures, but it looks fudgin' terrible, there is no way in hell he should have taken this bump [but that is for another time and there will be another time, I can reassure you] and now this; thank you to PAC for his many years of service to AEW in particular, because without the likes of you putting in the hard graft to get this promotion off the ground in those early years and AEW is still going from strength to strength based off your contributions, which myself and upon many other people are just so grateful to have AEW around and established, so thanks PAC, you may be gone but your DNA and essence is in the bricks of AEW; RIP Benjamin "Neville/PAC"  Willard Satterley 1986-2026

Warning: there is flashing effects/transformation/animal cruelty/burning/references to capital punishment

I haven't seen this film roughly since 1989 I think anyway: briefly; we meet a young girl would Alice [Voice by: Kathryn Beaumont:] she is a naive little girl that goes on this mystical adventure.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script and the character developments are by and large all good, other than I don't remember her meaning Alice being this naive or/and irritating on individual counts or both counts and then on top of that the ending style to this project without giving too much away, but enough to make my point; which is simply this; the ending style makes this entire project completely pointless as she doesn't actually learn from this experience or she could always go with but that was just such and such so consequently I don't have to learn anything, the framework and pacing of this 75 minutes film is all good all so; as it uses the outlay of storyline then [art] musical number and then back again or vice versa which my favourite song is Painting The Roses Red sung by: The Mellowmen Quartet and Kathryn Beaumont: the basic premise is; these playing cards have to paint the is white roses red and they are in fear of their lives if they don't do this job properly so Alice tries to help them in this task.

Art, comedy and action; this strong as asset to this project by clear miles is the artistic visions and/or bring this world to life as it is pure lunacy, we have a door handle/lock having a face on it and the ability to talk, likewise a white rabbit, a caterpillar and many others that have the ability to talk; the imagination is immaculate as we have Alice getting stuck in this house because she is too big or for a moment of the comedy we have a character asking for a half cup of tea and instead of the usual way of filling up the cup half way; they decide to turn this concept on its head and go with filling up the cup and then this character slicing this full drink down the middle so that we can see one half of this cup from the inside; so it gives him his half of a drink of tea and much later on Alice has this game of croquet involving a Queen, some flamingos, playing cards as hoops and I am going to go with something hedgehogs for balls; but remember when Alice entries wonderland there is always something to see and experience.

Character developments and voice performances; I have to say as I referenced earlier the character developments minus Alice are rich in lunacy in their own way or another and the voice performances now including Alice are actually outstanding; okay Alice may be somewhat annoying, but performance wise as this was clearly what they were going for back in the 1950s she meaning Beaumont the rest do a fantastic job bringing Alice and these by the vast majority eccentric characters to life.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; after everything I have said about this project, this marking is the right outcome, if the ending wasn't the ending is I would have given this project another mark, but as things are this one looks right, I mean if you haven't seen it yet in your lifetime, what are you waiting for? This is that when Walt Disney or better known as just Disney nowadays literally pumped out golden content and yes this movie has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners to its name which includes but not limited to Photoplay Awards 1951 Photoplay Award Best Pictures of the Month (September) and 2 Nominees which also include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA Oscar 1952  Oscar Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture Oliver Wallace

Warning: there is a component of racism/component of mental health and medical/references to racism [yes even though I know they are all the same ethnic background]

In late 1950s: we meet the Maxson family; husband-and-wife Troy and Rose Lee/Rose [Director of this film: Denzel Washington and Viola Davis:] he is a trash collector; hard-working, but drunk and bitter man about life in general such as could have been a professional baseball player; they have children and this is their life.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script is for the vast majority of this movie situated around the house; which is a massive positive as in this location we get a good sense of the social order of things, but if you come from this decade or/and the nearby subsequent decades for an example me coming from the 1980s even though this family is African-American and from an African American neighbourhood as well, regardless of skin colour in this case if you come from this anything like this environment you may not want to remember it so it can be a difficult watch; the framework and pacing of the 139 minutes is by and large good, but and I will take marks off for having a massive time jump towards the end of the movie of a rough estimation of roughly 6 years and 6 months [if you listen to some of the dialogue exchanges it would indicate that my guess here is a reasonable assessment.]

Art and character developments; the house design, wardrobe and accessories create a atmosphere of a very blue collar family environment with Troy that goes out to work... works long hours and every Friday without fail gives his wages to his wife minus a little bit for drink and if he get any money back from Rose, he does the heavy duty tasks anything to do with in or outside the house meanwhile Rose runs the house, she feeds anyone and anything other to keep things running.

Character developments and performances; on both counts for a high percentage of the cast they are all good and likewise they create good chemistry, but let's be completely honest with one another; it is the character developments, chemistry, and performances and everything else of Washington and/or Davis that makes this film in its entirety; he is a man of these times, whilst she is a very strong woman of these times as well and consequently they know their roles within this dynamic, but if one or the other chooses to screw that up for whatever reason; this relationship is an investment and/or it is their job; I don't really need to say this to the older generation, but for the younger generations; this is by and large what a real relationship/marriage looks like; hard work, investment and a willingness to stick to it especially through rocky times; in summary; a relationship/marriage is not always pretty and the sooner you realise that the more fulfilling life you will have, but back to this movie individually or together these two performers are the driving force behind this film that is for sure.

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; after everything is said and done this film does have two very powerful performances in this husband-and-wife as I have already referenced; it is also a very clean and tidy and well presented product; it just isn't an easy watch and like I have already said I don't like the time jump of roughly 6 years and 6 months give or take. This film has quite a lot of awards accredited to its name such as 60 Winners which includes but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 2017 Oscar Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Viola Davis, 123 Nominees would also include but not limited to; back to this award ceremony/event Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Denzel Washington [in total it has 3 Oscar Nominations.]

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW All Out 2026 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for AEW All Out 2026 by AverageMansReviews

"Hangman" Adam Page and Brodido's: Brody King & the ROH World Champion Bandido vs. Champs Swerve Strickland and The New Level's: Austin Creed & Kofi [with Prince Nana;] Trios Match for the AEW World Trios Championship: now clearly I don't know the actual order of this card, but if I am correct here; this match should be a banger to start this night/event on

Triangle of Madness': Thekla vs. Willow Nightingale; Singles Match to determine the #1 contender to the AEW Women's World Championship at WrestleDream: it really needs to be Thekla really needs to go over here, because she has became someone that needs to be on the card, I think we are getting to the point where having her stablemates comes down to interfere is now harming her, I'm not saying they have to split up [they are an excellent unit,] I'm just saying do it sparingly and by all means if she wants to use heel tactics and strategies that is fine

Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. the Don Callis Family's: Kevin Knight & Kyle Fletcher [with Don Callis;] Tag Team Match to determine the #1 contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championship: I can clearly see Borden turning heel on Allin at some point in this match slot, based on some of promos that Borden has been giving lately such as something to the effect of winning these championships just like a his father [Sting] did with Allin, has a very strong odour of resentment or could very easily turn that way after this match slot, which if I am correct it is way too early to do this feud, Borden needs more time to learn about wrestling as a wrestler, so even though I have suggested it in this content, I want to make it crystal clear it is way too early to do this

Divine Dominion's: Megan Bayne & Lena Kross vs. Champs The Brawling Birds': Alex Windsor & Jamie Hayter; Chicago Street Fight the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship: this stipulation is usually designed to keep both or all competitors in this stipulation looking strong regardless of the result, but at the same time I can't see the champions losing here, it just feels way too soon.

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Champ the Don Callis Family's: Kazuchika Okada [with Don Callis;] Singles Match for the AEW International Championship: where I can actually see the championship changing hands.

The Death Riders': Pac vs. Champ Andrade El Ídolo; Singles Match for the AEW National Championship: even though would be fantastic to see Pac win a AEW individual championship; it won't be happening on this night, but at some point down the line it would be nice to see Pac pick up a singles championship.

FTR's: Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood [with Stokey Hathaway] vs. The Young Bucks': Matt & Nick Jackson vs. Champs; Cage and Cope's: Christian Cage & Adam Copeland; Three-Way Ladder Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship: I really well and truly don't see these championships going anywhere soon, so this will be a situation of storylines coming out of this match, which in that case I can see the trios champions crashing the party with Prince Nana and probably screwing FTR out of these championships, consequently the champions retain here making an argument that including the trios champions that they all want the tag team champions with the championships on the line at AEW WrestleDream.

TBA vs. the CMLL World Women's Champion/Champ  Persephone [with Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D;] Singles Match for the AEW TBS Championship; This will be an open challenge [excluding Hyan, Maya World, and Thunder Rosa:] this championship isn't going anywhere in fact the doctor is going to ensure that it doesn't go anywhere with some kind of interference.

The AEW Continental Champion the Death Riders': Jon Moxley [with Marina Shafir] vs. Champ Will Osprey; Singles Match for the AEW World Championship: I don't see this championship going nowhere, but at the same time at some point they are going to want to rematch this match, so at the last minute I expect there to be a debut or a return to divert Moxley into a new feud to then come back and do this later, so in essence Moxley and Osprey stay strong here and now, but also laid the groundwork for later or if it wasn't someone debuting [Ilja Dragunov: yes please as I already know he has already signed with AEW earlier this month] or returning I wouldn't mind putting Jay White in this spot/role and I would want it to be just him here so that we can have that out of nowhere run through angle as in come in from one side hit the Blade Runner and leave on the other side throughout the crowd, being chased by Shafir leaving Osprey to be confused with what has just happened as he didn't see it, but he picks up the W/retain. 

So as you can probably tell I don't see many championships changing hands, but feuds progressions absolutely.

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

Well this is a bit manure: obviously straight off the bat I would like to send my condolences to his family, friends, work colleagues at any wrestling promotion including his bandmates from Every Time I Die [as a guitarist] which I am currently listening to whilst producing this content and of course anyone else that was touched by Williams by having him in their lives at some point or another.

Thank you for your efforts to get AEW off the ground alongside The Blade [Jesse Guilmette] and The Bunny [Laura Dennis] and personally apologies for never winning either singles or team or trios championships whilst in AEW; I was thinking it was going to happen for you guys eventually on some level, but as of this content being first created it never did and apologies for that; you were more than capable of leading a division so again apologies.

Individually Williams to me always especially when he lost some weight fell into that category of an Arn Anderson type that was able to make his co-workers look much better during and after working with him in a match [again as of this content being first created: hence why when he passed in that week AEW decided to honour him with a Battle Royal Match] Williams does hold the record for the most eliminations from an AEW Battle Royal with 26 eliminations and from me this record should either never be broken or should they be broken really by a member of his family that also take up wrestling, by all accounts over the recent weeks behind the curtain he was a very much loved and respected individual that will be massively missed but never forgotten.

Yet again I should apologise, because the only reason that this content has taken me so long to cover is because, sadly Williams died roughly around a similar time to many other passing on; in no particular order, because I would just get it wrong anyway; Dolly, Parton, Tim Curry, Peter Cullen [voice of: Optimus Prime/other characters] and Andy "The Butcher" Williams, I think we can all agree that the Grim Reaper can happily fudge off for a while, but there is one massive difference between three of them and Williams; that being they were in their 80s or/and mid-80s respectfully and only Williams was 48; I am not saying anyone should pass on but considering I am only a small handful of years younger [again when this content was first dictated] Williams' story is only half written, so may I suggest anyone that has had the pleasure of Williams in their life, when it is appropriate in situations of your life "Be Like Andy" that way his effect can carry on through you: RIP  Andy "The Butcher" Williams 1977-2026

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/cutting/shooting/capital punishment/rainbow community component/references to racism and child abuse

What would really help this film is if this lead character wasn't such a dick: briefly; Truman Capote [Philip Seymour Hoffman:] he is a gay writer for the New Yorker and also a novelist in fact this film is based off the back story of his future book In Cold Blood released in 1966, but our story begins in 15/11/1959 where he takes an interest in this murder case.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes from is good; the film has dividers in it by dates or words on-screen to signify a time jump, because it uses this outlay from the very beginning; it is functional as in it serves its purpose, I don't mind it.

Art and action; they did a wonderful job of bringing this world to life with real authenticity in every aspect of this movie; everything is how it should be with the wardrobe and accessories to men smoking and Capote regaling his crowd with stories and I just have to fill out this section of this content with something; in this case all I can say is; you get to see these actions and consequently consequences

Character developments and performances; on both counts the vast majority of the cast do a good job bringing their characters to the big screen with good interpretations of their character types. Now we come on to the problem; Capote is a self obsessed dick and I would say 9 times out of 10 that is absolutely fine, meaning I have met many dislikeable people in my time, but there is that one time where this or that character in a film sense just really well and truly crosses the line and that is where I am with this character: without giving too much away, but enough to make the point; he makes everything about him, but he still has a life and another character indicates this as well. Seymour Hoffman puts in a masterclass of what he can bring to the table and for those younger generations that are not familiar with his work regardless of what type of role position meaning lead or support or less he always made an impact/presence and as he is in the lead role position in the movie; he very much makes this movie to the point where I can say with flawless confidence if he declined this role, there was absolutely no point moving forward with it; because even though this individual is self-centred, Seymour Hoffman puts a layer of inner struggle to him; so yes I am criticised it on one hand, but on the other hand praised other elements of ; so this is very much a case of those things can be right at the same time.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; after everything is said and done I decided to award this mark off the back of Seymour Hoffman's masterclass of a performance. This film also has some awards accredited to its name which includes but not limited to 59 Winners Academy Awards, USA 2006 Oscar Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role Philip Seymour Hoffman and 89 Nominees from the same award ceremonies/event Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role Catherine Keener as Catherine Keener as Nelle Harper Lee: she is a long-suffering friend to Capote that at this time writer of children's books, but goes on being novelist in her own right as she writes To Kill a Mockingbird which gets released in 1960.

Warning: there is shooting/sexual assault/vehicle crash/medical/references to racism

In the middle of the 1950s this trio of convicts escape: briefly; Monroe [Henry Rollins:] he is the aggressive leader of this trio, Darcy [Johnny Galecki:] he has short-man-syndrome and finally we have Sam [Billy Zane:] he is vastly mild-mannered, but will get physical if he has to, but doesn't want to hurt anyone occupying this location; which swiftly brings me onto this location owner Vonnie Carpenter [Kelly McGillis:] she lives off the land as a farmer, she doesn't suffer fools likely, so having three convicts in her home doesn't bother her much in fact she destroys get on with the daily chores even though she has just escaped to do them

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, the framework and pacing for a lot of this film is very good; it basically uses the outlay of a location-based which means what ever happened for or after that is none of our concern; yes we get told bits of exposition character developments. But the storyline/script and the framework and pacing of this 91 minutes film has one really dramatic problem which I will discuss later, but for now all I can say is; I would have given this project is slightly higher mark if it wasn't for this section of this movie.

Art and action; a heavy amount of this movie takes place in this rural farm location/area which is a pleasant backdrop to this film and for we have running, hijacking, at shooting and other little bits and pieces [I should point out... it isn't that kind of film anyway, but at the same time I needed to put something here as a sign of acknowledgement.]

Character developments and performances; the character developments follow a character type template; such as the ones I have already shown, but we also have a blind African-American delivery driver on a horse and cart [Roscoe Lee Browne as Peabo:] even though he is blind he is not frightened at any stage or/and knows what is going on around him, which brings him amends joy very near to the end of the film. The performances of this cast are for the vast majority of the time are to be very reliably goods standard, but there is a section somewhere between roughly the final quarter and the ending section where, because there are mostly just two characters/performers on screen, where previously there has been many, it just feels like the scenes feel incredibly empty, a flat pancake and the pacing of this movie very much hit the wall and doesn't recover back to where it was, yes it does get better but like I said nowhere near to where it once was. This

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good, this is a pleasant little film but when you hit the section with a limited amount of characters/performers on screen for a while, things do slow down and don't really recover after that, there was an extra sequence happening underneath the first lot of ending credits
