The Conjuring 2013 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, words and numbers on screen, cultural elements, mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used [I should just point out this is when an exorcism is being performed,] time jumps and place jumps.

I don't have too much to say about this film but it does take a long time to get going.

Artistic visions: in a nutshell I like the music box.

Character developments/Performances: on both counts the do the job.

This film receives: 5/10 now after everything is said and done this mark feels right, because somewhere around the half way stage or maybe a little bit more [this is a guess,] but things do find some get up and go.

Wasted: Becky Lynch vs. the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair vs. the Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey Triple-Threat at WrestleMania 35 by AverageMansReviews

Updated 02/04/2019: a stipulation has been added to this match of Winner Takes All, from now on I'm going to leave the stipulations out of the header of these blogs and if there are any stipulations I will put them in the first paragraph, just because it is much, much easier to update.

How could this storyline get any worse: straight off the bat; if you want more of my opinions of this situation which I will try not to bring up here please do look at the blog entitled Wasted: Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. The Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey Triple-Threat at WrestleMania 35, I have been watching a little bit of the red and blue brands, but I have found something better to do like sleeping, but I move on how could this storyline get any worse well they found a way, I did watch the title match between Charlotte Flair and the SmackDown Women's Champion Asuka and this title drop is and was badly, badly so badly timed [in fact it was completely unnecessary.]

Now as I have a reputation of trying to be fair and balanced whenever possible, I will be positive for 2 seconds the match itself [away from the storyline] between Flair and Asuka based on my small screen at the time was highly entertaining and the other positive thing is there is one less match at this event [having said that I would think so, because if there isn't one less match at this upcoming event, I really don't see why dropping this title or championship as a positive so close to the biggest stage of them all in professional wrestling.]

I may as well come out and say it from the very beginning of this section or sections the next thing I will be discussing is controversial, I don't have any problems with discussing it because even though I may run the risk of getting criticized for it, I have facts to back up my opinion, so even though I am saying these things it is more based on as I have already said facts and observations so before you get your pitchforks out if there wasn't enough evidence to suggest this I wouldn't be discussing it.

What do the following characters/performers all have in common in no particular order; Asuka, Rusev, Nakamura, Cross and yes I am aware he is not with this company anymore, but he deserves to be mentioned in this line up Neville and if I'm going to make this point I have to point out yes Black is doing well at the moment, Bálor is in the Intercontinental Championship picture [but let's be honest they haven't really treated him well, other than making him the first-ever Universal Champion in 2016] and of course there is Lynch [let us never forget that this company wanted to turn her heel,] but their Universe had different ideas, Cesaro and Sheamus [a.k.a. The Bar,] together they have had a good career [there are other characters/performance are not on this list,] but my point is this; these characters/performers are and I say this based on facts they are all foreigners.

Let's take a look at these characters/performers in this list, now after the match on the blue brand I am now concerned for Asuka as a character, because even with the championship they were burying her, which I know this sounds like a strange concept, because what usually should be happening is as a champion the individual should be getting the opportunity to make their championship or reign means something or improve their standing within the company they are a part of [something like this; this person held our middle championship and made something out of it and left that particular division in very good shape, so let's see what this individual does with a main picture championship reign.] But I really don't know where Asuka goes from here, they have taken so much away from this character that her credibility as a threat to any championship is pretty much nonexistent. I mean she had to overcome her first loss, the thing with Carmela and a wrestler which isn't with this company anymore and now this uneventful championship reign, so as you can see I don't know where she goes from here, maybe All Elite Wrestling.

Rusev; it is clear that this character/performer cannot do anything right, I mean yes he has held championships for this company, but all he will ever be to this company is a heel foreigner, let's forget about how much money he could make for this company with himself and English using Rusev Day, it shouldn't matter that the hierarchy of this company don't get Rusev Day, all that the hierarchy need to know is it makes money and let's not forget Rusev given the right space and time can be a charismatic figure, I mean Rusev could have rebuilded the United States Championship division [yes I am happy with Joe rebuilding this division,] but the treatment of Rusev has been terrible.

Nakamura; sadly this character/performer is just another victim of the NXT call-up to the main rosters [if you have no idea what I'm talking about in a nutshell it is this; down in NXT they get to show their real potential, abilities and skills.] But when they come up to the main rosters they get crushed, yes he has held the United States Championship here and there but that is it and of this blog he is in a tag team with Rusev; because they are heels and foreigners with Lana [a trio,] but before this; Rusev and Nakamura were feuding over the United States Championship which makes this tag team feel really forced together how can you go from one to the other at a flip of a light switch and let us not forget Lana was hurt in the storyline.

Cross and Neville; simply put where is she? Let's be really honest here we have seen much more of Evans than we have of Cross and these two women are meant to be in the same class of NXT call-ups. Neville well I don't have too much to say here other than well done for leaving this company and going to All Elite Wrestling.

Black and Bálor; Black and Ricochet are making the right kind of sounds as a tag team, but it's just a shame that they are in a company that don't take tag team wrestling seriously [in fairness yes the blue brand is better at this.] How can I put this nicely; just get Bálor and the Intercontinental Championship away from this terrible feud with Lashley and Rush, come on let's see what a fit Bálor can do with a long championship reign.

Lynch; she is the hottest characters/performers that this company has.

Cesaro: I really don't think this character/performer has really been given a fair/honest push without him being booked to consistently lose, which is a massive tragedy because he has the skills and talents to wrestle [as of this blog he has held one individual championship [the United States Championship in 2013.]

Sheamus: now out of these two characters/performers this individual has had the better career with holding many individual championships [yes I do mean this as  different championship reigns.]

The WWE have painted themselves into a corner: now I will be discussing the main event of this year's WrestleMania, let's just take things as they are right here and right now, so this is what we know Rousey is leaving after this pay-per-view, so she will be dropping the Raw Women's Championship to Lynch then? Because if they play this completely wrong Flair will be a champion on both brands which in turn would make the brand split pointless and useless and not forgetting there would be a very loud outrage that Lynch didn't win the Raw Women's Championship unless you have both championships up for grabs, but it wouldn't make much difference they would still have the same problem.

This company have ruined this entire build and I say this with sarcasm I'm just amazed how they keep finding ways to take more and more and more and more of my enthusiasm away from wanting to see this match.

Wasted: Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch vs. the Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey Triple-Threat at WrestleMania 35 by AverageMansReviews

Why have I chosen this match: now I want to see this match, but throughout this blog you will see why I am struggling to keep interested in it; it should be noted I haven't really been watching it lately, ever since someone got involved from the crowd and on top of that I will tell you why I am doing this now even though we have a little while to go yet until this event.

Well it is simple; the WrestleMania card for this year's event is massive, that particular blog is possibly going to take me anywhere between 1 to 2 days to get ready before this year's WrestleMania event.

What went wrong: where to start really and if I forget something this is just a rough outline. The authority figures elements [even when we had all four authority figures standing in the ring, basically saying we have let you down, so we will change [there were other things said as well.] But here is a rhetorical question, why is it that we have these authority figures getting involved in this situation?

Taking Lynch out of this WrestleMania Match and the storyline elements such as Lynch getting arrested, even though this outsider hits someone and it is recorded on camera, doesn't get arrested for assaulting somebody even though he has nothing to do with this company [all he has is a connection to one of these competitors.]

Rousey is destroying Kayfabe; I get it she is a heel and there will be some people out there saying it is working on someone like me and to that I say no. Because all this is doing including everything else; is I am just looking forward to the night after this event, just for the record I am not in denial I am very much aware that wrestling is a work and so on and so forth, I just don't like it being thrown in my face this strongly and not forgetting the small detail or details they have two other storyline elements circling around breaking Kayfabe or this is fake on this card, so it brings up another rhetorical question; I wonder if the WWE would allow anyone paying for any ticket or subscription or anything with Monopoly money? I mean as this is a fake work it would seem logical to be paid with fake money [I am being sarcastic,] but in the same token it makes this good question, why keep telling everyone it is fake when people are spending good money to forget it is fake, we know it is fake. The more I think about it, the more I think this company has to be careful on this subject from now on. Because they have very much overused it and if they keep saying things to this effect, eventually people will jump ship to somewhere else where they can watch their wrestling in peace and be entertained without this nagging wrestling is fake thing.

What I would have done: straight off the bat absolutely no men is to get involved in this situation whatsoever [minus the referees or some characters that you need to break up a fight, they are absolutely fine and just before anyone says anything obviously "The Man" is absolutely fine as well] but other than that absolutely no man are to get involved.

Because there are two very good reasons for this; the women have worked so hard for this, so they should be given the opportunity to shine on the biggest stage possible in wrestling and the second is more out of fear or possibility that we may be looking at another situation where either a man or men get involved such as the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match 2017 [yes when it is appropriate I will be bringing this up time after time after time after time, simply because how much this company wants you to forget this happened it was a man who won the first-ever Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match 2017.]

So moving on, I would have had Stephanie, Lynch, Flair and Rousey, try to dominate each other in one way or another. Like Stephanie could use any of the three rosters [I am including NXT] to show her power and influence and not forgetting the positives of showing off some new female NXT characters/performers, instead of them just coming down and waving and then going back [on a quick side note this whole thing just irritates me,] but carrying on pull away from this whole breaking Kayfabe and instead just use her as a female version of Lesnar [the only difference being one shows up more on a consistent basis than the other,] so when the bell rings just let her lay into people and make a statement that way. So when you get to this event it should have more of a clash of the titans feel to it and you could even put Stephanie in the match as a Special Guest Referee, which would add another layer to this feud; is Stephanie going to screw someone over or is she going to be professional in her role? When it came to the match itself, she would let a fair amount go between the three of them and have no one interfere, but screw no one instead play some mind games instead after the match she could raise the arm/hand of the winner exchange looks, just a little something to say "I am happy with this outcome" and could leave the winner to celebrate as she left the ring and walked up the ramp and behind the scenes, with the winner looking slightly confused by this but returns to celebrating nonetheless, you could even have Triple H watching this on a TV screen and join by Stephanie watching the rest of the celebration.

Let me make this quite clear before I finish this up, I was heavily excited for this Triple-Threat Match and what I've seen throughout this terrible build Lynch and Flair [individually or together] have tried to put some enthusiasm back into things of what I can remember or vaguely remember, I mean this is another point I know I haven't watched for some time, but I can't remember too much with confidence about this build to this very important match which in a way it is sad. Because it shows how much the WWE have wasted this journey to this iconic match and don't misunderstand me I am interested in this match, but as the time has moved on with everything that has gone on my enthusiasm has got so much less and less and less, thank you WWE; I am being sarcastic again.

Wasted: Baron Corban vs. Kurt Angle [Kurt Angle's Farewell Match] at WrestleMania 35 by AverageMansReviews

Wasted: Baron Corban vs. Kurt Angle [Kurt Angle's Farewell Match] at WrestleMania 35 by AverageMansReviews

Welcome to some more new contents: like with every wrestling contents minus the predictions and which storyline would be better this may or may not be a consistent thing, I am not making up any excuses but there are only a certain amount of hours in a day and there is only one of me.

Now you may get the general idea of this blog now or at the end [and before people say this match may be subject to change, I would like this to be true, but I can only deal with here and now.] So here and now we have this match, yes this match oh why this match?

There are much, much, much better options it just depends on which way the WWE wanted to go, I mean yes you could go for someone established like Stroman or Cena [I know everyone is hoping Cena is the replacement for Corban] or anyone from NXT [I have never hidden the fact I don't have this option,] but I would prefer someone up and coming to have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wrestle Angle which in turn would instantly establish them or you could have Angle announce an open challenge for his WrestleMania 35 Retirement Match [so they could keep everyone guessing until the pay-per-view] on the night, where you could have two wrestlers racing down to the ring, an argument breaks out and to stop the argument Angle gets on a mic and says "Hell as it is my final match I will take you both on right here and right now in a Triple-Threat Match."

So as you can clearly see there are much better options they could have taken I don't see why it should be Corban; he has done very little with the pushes he has been given such as winning [in no particular order so if I get it wrong, I get it wrong] the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32 or Money In The Bank 2017 and one Championship the United States Championship [when this goes out; this has happened once in 2017.]

Now if we are going to talk about his accolades and accomplishments let's talk about them all shall we, being a terrible General Manager of Raw and let's not forget or how could I forget even though it is completely forgettable how he with McIntyre, Lashley and Rush have destroyed the mid-card of Raw for some time now [just for the record if you are wondering if I'm getting confused with the words accolades and accomplishments in this paragraph I am being sarcastic.]

But seriously I am struggling with why he should be given this opportunity when Angle deserves someone new or established to go out on and have a WrestleMania moment with.

If I had to make this situation work: this paragraph is self-explanatory, I have been told by the powers that be this match is booked, so I would focus on after the match and give something to the crowd and the millions watching at home. Now after Angle as spending some time in the ring just looking at the crowd and saying thank you and waving goodbye [Corban is sitting on the floor leaning against the ring.] The cameras look up at the ramp, there are many superstars making a line on each side of the ramp and they begin to clap, as Angle begins to make the slow walk up the ramp, he stops at some individuals such as McIntyre, the crowd can sense the tension, McIntyre extends a hand, Angle pushes it away McIntyre looks slightly a little bit angry [the crowd sense more tension,] but Angle goes in for a hug and says "You remind me of a younger me" and as he moves away he points and says to the crowd "Get behind this man, he is going places."

On the next stop, he comes to Stroman and gives him a handshake and some quick advice "You are big, you are strong, your quick and you are intelligent, so go and make your mark in this business and don't let anyone stand in your way."On his next stop [one on each side,] we have AJ Styles and Samoa Joe. Angle looks at AJ and then he looks at Joe and just says "I am very proud of you both" then attempts to walk to the back but AJ and Joe stop him from leaving, they turn Angle around, lifting him up and putting him on the shoulder each.

Suddenly Corban comes running up the ramp to spoil the moment, but he is cut off by Cena [potentially a short-term feud can be made here.] But for here and now there is a fight going on between Corban and Cena, Angle gets put down so he can join in, these three characters/performers head back to the ring with Cena and Angle saying to each other loud and clear "Ruthless Aggression" so with that they really kick off on Corban with more fighting, with an Attitude Adjustment and then an Angle Slam, they look at one another to give off the body language, "Why not let's do it again." So that is what they do, they go in for a third time but Angle has a better idea, he begins to wave down Stroman to the ring, Stroman gets the idea comes into the ring and delivers his Power Slam [or in case I have got the move wrong it is like a walking or running Power Slam,] Angle's music hits and everyone is standing and clapping with Angle, Cena and Stroman in the ring.

But as things are [once again when this goes out,] they could have really sent Angle out on a high win or lose but this match is hardly looking like fun, so this is why this is my first entry into Wasted.

The Cold Light of Day 2012 by AverageMansReviews

The Cold Light of Day 2012 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, no subtitles when another language is being used, slow-motion effects, interpreter elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Action sequences/Comedy level: there are weapons being used, combat elements and chasing sequences. Now one of the chasing sequences is where we have these two cars going down these stairs or bashing through these tables and chairs or bashing off one another.

Now there are two moments of the comedy level in these action sequences, the first is where our lead role is trying to get down the side of these flats with this made-up rope [of satellite dish connections, it is something long] and because someone is trying to shoot at the satellite dish, our lead role hits some things on the way down including the satellite dish almost hitting him as it comes down.

The next one is where our lead evildoer gets out of this crashed car [it is on its side] and as she walks away it quickly yet with some noise behind her, it just falls down these stairs [I'm guessing here that it was teetering and it just went.]

Character developments/Performances: on both counts they are what they are, you know what I mean; they are functional, they don't do anything wrong but they don't set the world alight either.

This film receives: 4/10, this is one of those occasions where after everything is said and done this title does enough to just about get given this mark

Warcraft: The Beginning 2016 [alternative name Warcraft] by AverageMansReviews

Warcraft: The Beginning 2016 [alternative name Warcraft] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, words on screen, cultural elements, quick moving effects, yes and no to subtitles being used, interpreter elements, time jumps and place jumps.

Right if I say this once here I will try not to say it again, mostly everything [like 90% of this title is mixed in one way or another, it is somewhat difficult to explain because things change so quickly like that was poor or slightly higher or mixed or higher to you can see these moments of potential

Action sequences/Artistic visions: in a nutshell without giving too much away when the good wizard turns and shows off his powers/abilities/skills against these two main characters, these three characters/performances make this action sequence stand out above the rest. This is the only time that this title got my attention as it relates to the action sequences, for the rest of them what can I say; they do their job.

The same can be said for the artistic visions; I mean these flying creatures [with their flying scene or sequence,] they captured my attention or these big creatures that these invading creatures can ride [here is a rough description something like giant wolves] or when this main character goes to see these characters which he is not welcome here and the scenes after this [including meeting this individual,] these elements, scenes or sequences, really to show what this title is capable of if it puts its mind to it.

Comedy level/Character developments/Performances: the comedy moments there are better moments than others but it assists with the character developments and generally speaking the character developments and the performances are something safe and reliable, so there is value in these three elements.

Storyline: the storyline has been left with a big question-mark at the end, yes usually I would be angry by this; but in this case I am not too fussed, even though this title is going to get given something higher than a poor mark, I don't think I could watch it again and this was my second time [so I could do this review,] unless my date wanted to see it, but a sequel I am not interested in [don't get me wrong I would probably see it at some point,] but then again if they were going to green light another project I think they would preferably like something a little bit more positive than I am not interested, to back their money on.

This film receives: 4/10, I think after everything is said and done this mark seems reasonable.

The Liability 2012 by AverageMansReviews

The Liability 2012 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed

Fundamental elements: there are words and numbers on screen, cultural elements, voice-over elements, mental imagery, background music, slow-motion effects, time jumps and place jumps.

The movement of this project is slow generally speaking, but it does kind of get better [I will explain this more later on in this review.]

Action sequences: there are weapons being used and combat elements.

Comedy level: there is a comedy level in this project and it ranges from mature to adult contents in one way or another, for one example briefly a character gets hit by a car.

Character developments/Performances: these characters feel like and look like they were meant to turn out this way, so if this is the case I can't really criticize the performances too much, with that being said I'm going to say they did something with what was given to them [minus one character/performer, he will be in the next paragraph.]

Tim Roth as Roy does so much for this project on a whole, he pulls this film together and gives it some momentum [I should just point out that this title is not the most quickest anyway, this has been done by design.] But it does need something or somebody to be around this title off or on screen just to keep things moving [I am aware I have just said off and on screen, it is just when this character/performer enters this project things feel better,] his character is interesting, good and as I have already said in different ways his performance can be felt in this title.

This film receives: 4/10, now I may have said this before in different reviews that I am not too keen on or I don't like question-mark endings [here is a rough description of what this means; it basically means everything or something or a question has been left such as what happened next?,] but I may have said in some previous reviews at some point, when I see strange film titles like this; it doesn't surprise me when or if a question-mark for an ending style happens. How can I put this; it's like saying well you are and were a strange project, so why break the mold at the closing stages or at the end, so to wrap up this review this mark feels right.

Until Death 2007 by AverageMansReviews

Until Death 2007 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is poor.

Fundamental elements:  there are words and numbers on screen, voice-over elements, quick moving effects, mental imagery, background music, slow-motion effects, time jumps and place jumps.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat elements and the only tiny bit I found interesting was where these two bullets casing go up in the air and slightly touch one another, this can also be seen as an artistic vision as well.

Storyline/Character developments/Performances: all three of these elements are really poor, now because these three elements have a lot to do with one another, I will be very careful on what I say about them.

I didn't find this storyline to be interesting, I found it really boring which in turn gave me plenty of time to poke holes in this title such as the character developments, without giving too much away our lead role goes through this life changing thing in fact he should be dead but there we go he is alive.

Now him being alive or dead isn't the point I'm trying to make here, but just off the top of my head he shouldn't be able to aim and fire a gun without difficulty or throw a punch and it land with force and where he wanted it or anything like this. Yes he does have speak to issues and a limp for some time, but there should be more.

I am not done yet; with his injury, you would expect some long-term memory loss which may or may not come back in time, so my rhetorical question would be this; why are these characters taking the opportunity or opportunities to talk to him about his life before this? When there is or should be a possibility he isn't going to remember in the first place, don't get me wrong he does have some memory loss and needs re-educating, but because of his injury there should have been more of a struggle to remember things before this situation happened.

It's like before this situation the lead character was far, far from a nice person and after this situation some of the other character chose to be unpleasant to him, when he is trying to do right now, [but as I have already said in one way or another he isn't going to be the same person,] so why not have a fresh start or at the very least be amicable or leave each other alone [now I have said all of this; this doesn't go for the main evildoer] and generally speaking the performances are poor.

This film receives: 1/10, now just to make sure I am being balanced and fair in this review, when our lead character is trying to do right these moments are glimpses of what this title may be should have been more about instead of what we have in this title, for one example this character backs up our lead character [that is all I can say without saying too much,] so I am not backtracking when I said generally speaking these performances are poor. Because generally speaking they are, but I can see there are some moments or scene or scenes or sequences where the character developments and the performances have substance in them here and there and just before I finish I don't have a medical background or education, but logically speaking with his injury I was expecting him to have more difficulties or worse [I was just thinking I would clarify that before I finished.]

Memento 2000/2001 by AverageMansReviews

Memento 2000/2001 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good.

Fundamental elements:  there are voice-over elements, background music, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

The fundamental elements and the all round movement and everything else is something I can understand why they went this way [I'm not being lazy here, but I can't tell you too much about this because it has so much to do with the storyline,] but I think I am going to say I am mixed about them anyway.

Action sequences/Comedy Level: generally speaking these action sequences range from weapons being used, combat elements and chasing sequences, moving on to the comedy level, I should point out that this title is not a comedy, it is mature, well placed and well-timed

Character developments/Performances: now for the character developments [because they are tied into the storyline in one way or another I can't really say too much.] But I can say they are good and well managed, the performances are also good as well.

This film receives: 7/10, it has to be said I'm a little stuck here because as I have already said I get or understand why as it relates to the fundamental elements, the movement and any other elements, but on the other hand in cases such as this I will just go with the mark I went with straight after watching the project in question.

Deep Blue Sea 2 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Deep Blue Sea 2 2018 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is poor.

Fundamental elements: there are words on screen, background music, slow-motion effects, quick moving effects, mental imagery, environmental elements, place jumps and time jumps.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, very tiny element of combat and the sharks scenes or sequences are somewhere between monotonous to interesting to good and the same can be said for the artistic visions as well, let's just say I much prefer the bigger sizes or the altogether sequence at the end of the film, than anything else.

Character developments/Performances: now I would say that these character developments are poor, but on reflection it is worth saying something like this; they can or could be seen as clichés for this type of project [depending on your viewing experience.] So with saying all of this the performances are a reflection of these character developments and there are moments or elements of substance between these characters/performers.

This film receives: 1/10, even though I have tried to be either slightly positive or positive about this sequel in one way or another, I just can't think of a higher mark and I do think this sequel is garbage anyway. I will give you something to look out for if you are going to watch this sequel here is a rough outline; in this location that is underwater you will see two characters having this important conversation about something and there is this window or something for you to look through, so we have this shark eavesdropping on this conversation or I think that is what it is doing [you will just have to take my word for this sequence of events.]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 7: Big Sisters by AverageMansReviews

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 7: Big Sisters by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another good episode

5 things about this episode

Storyline/Origin storyline/Moral message: generally speaking this storyline is okay, the origin storyline scene or scenes are interesting and the moral message speaks of friendship and being yourself.

Action sequences: because there are 2 new elements either vehicle or attack [one of each in this episode] I will pick one and leave the other for you to find out when or if you watch this episode or not. So with that being said I will be bringing up Billy's newest invention The Rad Bug, it is an old-fashioned Beatle car which as you will see has modifications done to it, so it can fly very quickly to its destination.

Artistic visions: watching this little girl in these elements where in Battle mode [the Megazord] catches her and a short time later put its hand down to let her get off to go inside The Rad Bug. The camera work and these big hand or hands may look cheesy by today's standards, but as it is; these elements still look good to me.

This episode receives: 6/10, this is another episode where after taking everything into consideration this mark feels and looks right.

Average Extra of: Captain Marvel 2019 by AverageMansReviews

The reason why this was created now: well it is simple I now feel when it is appropriate to expand on a subject this is what I will do. But I will still try to be unbiased or put a sensible argument together at the very least so I have slightly changed the boundaries of my contents, yes my boundaries as it relates to reviewing projects still remains such as focusing on the project itself and not the surrounding politics [I will explain this more in this blog] and just before I finish this paragraph; this film review will be dropping around Christmas time.

Real Talking Time: so let's begin on a positive, the film gets a positive review from me [that is all your getting from me for now] and there is something I want to make crystal, crystal absolutely crystal clear I am not here to push my own opinion or opinions on to you or undermine anyone else's opinions, I'm just here hopefully trying to put something balanced or as best as I can across. Now let's focus on what we are here to talk about which is the surrounding politics.

I will listen to anyone's opinion as long as it has substance or anything like this [without trying to make myself sound arrogant what I mean by this is this; if somebody has a pitchfork out in their speech than there is a greater percentage I will switch off in any way,] but if they have a reason or reasons and their pitchfork, I can understand that; if that is the way they feel or how things happen, I don't have to agree with them or disagree with them that is their choice or opinion or view or interpretation.

But having said all of this so far in this blog, this entire situation is getting out of hand. I mean I have seen let's just call it "The Speech" and I just don't like it from this perspective yes I may be a "White Dude" but there are some very good points I want to make here I like variety in the films/projects I watch so I may like A Wrinkle in Time, I don't know I haven't seen it yet and wait this more I am also in a wheelchair, wait there's more I also have mental health issues. My point is this; I may be a "White Dude" personally or professionally I don't like being stereotyped or getting somewhere because I am different for a quick example when I go shopping I wait at the back of the queue, because that is where the queue begins, but there are other times where such as events I get to go in first or something like this, because it is easier to put someone like me in first and then work around me.

So if I was asked to attend something which is film/project based, because of my wheelchair I would politely decline [this isn't strictly true I would decline with stronger wording,] but if someone wanted a wheelchair/mental health person's perspective on a film/project which had these elements in it or generally speaking to attend something to hear my experiences or to share an opinion on these things at the very least I would consider it.

But back to "The Speech" this performer's body language and everything else is difficult to watch, because it's like watching a very slow train crash happening, I mean none of it looks comfortable or free-flowing. This is what I would suggest to this individual, if you are going to things like this; practice them again and again until you look and feel comfortable saying them, so it feels natural and you are confident in what you are saying instead of saying something like "White Dude." But then again I would recommend she stays away from saying basic English such as "White Dude" anyway, because it leaves her wide-open for criticism [I mean she has been criticized anyway,] I'm just talking about using a different level of English/American to try to ensure that what she is saying sounds professional/respectable/slightly warm.

I have used the terminology slightly warm because if you try to sound warm or positive if you are giving a speech or an interview, even though, this individual may run the risk of upsetting people at least there will be some people that may be upset but at the same time, they may identify with at least he or she or whomever was not preachy or nervously smiling or something to this effect or other.

The problems are now: it isn't just this speech that is the problem, there are other issues in one way or another circling around this performer as it relates to this whole situation. Look she has successfully irritated a very big number of the online community which if you're thinking "Well never mind" well newsflash the film industry is moneymaking, so the longer this situation goes on the longer it will take to fix which may affect other film titles in different ways.

I'm going to try my best to put this as nicely as I can; I am of the opinion that someone should have spoken to this individual before and now, to maybe not say the things she has said or at least change the English/American in them. But I am leaning much more towards not saying them.

Before you get the pitchforks out on me and [may I just quickly point out in this blog, I have already illustrated if she was going to say these things this is how I would suggest she would do it.] But I continue; I'm not speaking as a "White Dude" or man or ageist, I am talking from the perspective of; a career perspective, she is only young and the controversy surrounding her at the moment, could possibly damage her career prospects, like this director could really want her in this film but he or she may at the very least have second ideas, because of the possibility of this performer finding herself in a situation like this or in a different situation, but a similar level of controversy.

Now there are some performers out there that can share an opinion or depending what the controversy is, they can ride over it simply because they have been around for many years, they have much respect from and in the industry so as long as they don't do it continuously or unnecessarily they could possibly get away with "The Speech" or their own interpretation of it.

But in fairness I am not sure if there are some people out there that don't like the film, because they don't like the film [which is fair enough] or they don't like the background politics which has little to do with the film. The only main reason this really should be a factor and if you want to point out a scene feels like it has been re-done [or re-shot,] because something like this would be based on your viewing experience again this would be fair enough.

For an example of what I mean I watched this project entitled Brexit: The Uncivil War 2019 [alternative name Brexit,] now I did try to be professional, but I felt more and more uncomfortable watching it, because it is based on real life events and if you are outside of my country without getting too political here, this experience has been very, very, very, very long and painful [in fact when this goes out it is still going on,] to be more precise it never seems like it is going to end.

This is how I would have done it: now let's say that this performer had come to me and said there are not enough varieties in critics these days and I want to change that. I would have said to her the following; create a consistent online presence and eventually say to your followers/viewers. Okay I am now looking for a selection of people from all different walks of life that are amateur/independent critics to come and interview me, the day after the normal press circuit and after that you can see a private showing of my latest film, all you have to do is send me your latest review [no adult language will be accepted,] she could even pick the same person now and again as long as they put in an updated review, so she could keep an eye on their career and have a small interest.

If she does this enough times in her career it would create a positive on many different levels, such as if she gave this speech like the one I have made reference to in this blog [including softening the speech/stage presence,] it would show her to be a positive influence, pro-active and standing by what she is saying and not forgetting it would shine a light on the subject matter and possibly and hopefully getting many different people being critics in the future. [I am hoping that this blog is coming over as bounced as I can make it.]

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 4, Disc 1] Episode 44: Child's Play by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline: now after the opening credits the viewers get put down possibly in the middle of this situation where the Decepticons have taken over this sporting event [I say possibly in the middle of this situation,] because that's how this feels, I like this approach it just feels like this episode hits the ground running, I like a little bit of variety in anything I watch and by doing this it frees them up some time to do other things with the time of the episode. But I have to say the storyline is a little bit cheesy and there is this attempted dissection sequence, which I did find a little bit strange this species can understand the Autobots and the Decepticons, so they can have conversations and if it is just to see how they work [there is one character which is interested in doing this] they can still talk about this as well, this is one of those points where the more you think about it, the more it does take a little bit of the shine off this episode, because it doesn't make sense.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: the action sequences and the artistic visions; these two elements have lots of imagination and fun to them as well, it could be in this sporting event where many characters are involved in one way or another or without giving too much of the storyline away, having a smaller selection of characters being in this different place where everything looks bigger.

This episode receives: 9/10, as I have been saying throughout this review there are plenty of imaginative elements in this episode, but my opinions on the storyline keeps changing the more I think about it, but to be fair this mark represents everything else in this episode.
