Triple 9 2016 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed.

Warning: there is a scene of animal cruelty.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, a number and words on screen, background music, slow-motion effects, cultural elements, mental imagery, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; well roughly speaking this project has three stages; the beginning is quick and messy, after that it needs time to readjust itself to something slower and more consistent, to the final stages where it was noticeably picking its feet up, but using the same slow but purposeful dark tone which came off as they are now trying to fit everything in, this is one of those occasions where if they used this slower but purposeful dark tone throughout this film with the time frame that they had at their disposal, it would have probably worked out much better; so if they work out the pacing, the atmosphere and work on the storyline a little in this film things would have maybe turned out much better [I discuss the storyline components in the next section.]

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is something safe and reliable, but having said that we never find out what happens next, without giving too much away we have one character/performer in intensive care on a life-support machine, whilst we have another character/performer having a cigarette and is in a very bad way and for a project which is roughly 115 minutes long they should have/I wanted a rounder ending for the amount of time I had invested in this film and I even looked after the closing credits to see if there is anything after them; there isn't, what they should have done is extended this film by about 15 minutes and given this film a rounder ending for sure.

The back stories come to the viewers via these images at the beginning section of the film with voice-over [I should just point out some of these images or elements may not be useful, this will make better sense when you watch this film,] a news report over the radio, storyteller with voice-over and mental imagery, dialogue exchanges including a file with information on a character as well

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, chasing. Protect & Serve components for one example a helicopter. Moving on to the artistic visions here are some things for you to look out for; there is this waterfall in the background and there are some really colourful skies.

Character developments/Performances: on both counts these are good, there is good chemistry/friction yes depending where you are; is depending what you get; this is a cast performance.

This film receives: 5/10, after everything is said and done this mark is a fair conclusion based on everything I have said in this review including I did lose a little bit of interest at the beginning and towards the ending stages of this project based on two out of the three stages which I have already discussed in this review.

Review Time: this film is poor.

Warning: there are sexual assault elements in one way or another in this project.

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

Movement; it is mostly slow; it does get better roughly around the final quarter moral less, on reflection I think this is because they were running out of time to get everything done and I can't remember if it is all of the time, but the background music in the action sequences is loud and terrible [let's just say when it comes into effect you will know what I mean; you can't miss it.]

Storyline/Back stories/Origin storyline: the storyline is something safe and reliable, but it is very poorly executed in this title and yes we never find out if this character/performer [Wakefield/Paré.] is okay. The back stories either get these news reports [voice-over elements,] discussed in the dialogue exchanges, shown to us in the film or via mental imagery and I was thinking I would put in a origin storyline component, because after watching this film, this is what it is for this character/performer [Cooray/Jay,] likewise when you come to watch this title this will make better sense [but if you don't watch this project in a nutshell without giving too much away this thing happens; this character goes from one walk of life to a completely different walk of life by the end of this film.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, training, exercising and a helicopter being used. Moving on to the artistic visions now these are the best thing about this project; the viewers get to see the moon by daytime which including everything else minus the character paints a glorious location [if you're looking for the sun it is roughly around where this sexual offender character is talking on his mobile] and we get to see the moon at night at some point in this project, on top of that there are some eye-catching scenery and there are these train elements as well [yes I am including anything associated with a train.]

Character developments/Performances: the character developments are likewise something safe and reliable and the performances, the chemistry/friction are best described as a mixed bag, because depending where you are; in this title and which characters are on screen at that time is depending what you get, but generally speaking the chemistry/friction gets better later on in this project and on a more consistent basis to.

Blooper: now this is where our main evildoer is hiding out and these four vigilante characters/performers break into this location and for some strange reason this main evildoer says "Good to see you again" now I have two problems with this; one this would be the first time that this main evildoer has met these characters in this clothing identity [he has done no research on these characters/performers even before someone begins to think like this and secondly they are covered up and just for the record if he had said "Good to see you." I would have been okay with this; but some time later he has no idea who is pointing the gun at him so this in itself is a contradiction and on a quick side note and this is something for you to look out for; not a blooper even though technically it should be one; these four vigilante characters/performers take off their balaclavas; in one case I can understand why, but the other three why take them off? You are wearing one to cover up your identity then just to take them off when you are facing these evildoers this makes no sense, you may as well not wear them in the first place.

This film receives: 2/10, now as I have already said this film is poor, but to make sure I am balanced in this review, I would just say that if there are any fans of Luke Goss out there in Internet land; take a look at this film but I really wouldn't expect too much [one final thing I had another very quick scan of this project again just in case I missed out on if this main evildoer and these four vigilante characters in this clothing identity have met before this occasion and of what I can tell and what I can remember they hadn't in this clothing identity; yes that one little piece of dialogue ["Good to see you again"] has irritated me, because he has met one in different clothing, but just in case if I am wrong I will apologize here, just to cover my back.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 79: Madman's Paradise by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another good episode

Warning: there is an element of  visual death in this episode

Storyline/Back stories/Moral message: the storyline is good and it is a continuation from the previous episode based on yesterday [previous episode] Spike Witwicky and other characters were getting everything ready for this Piece Conference and today [in this episode] we are at this Piece Conference, the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges or hieroglyphics interpreted by Autobot [Rewind,] we also get this back story via this storyteller with voice-over/mental imagery from this Red Wizard [just to cover my back I know this character is another character, but that would be giving too much of the storyline away] and there is this moral message in the dialogue exchanges Daniel Witwicky says "Mum says to never go off with strangers."

Action sequences/Artistic visions: now I really do like this one action sequence; we have this highly imaginative blend of mystical powers meets science fiction and modern technology [for the 1980's and the 1990's.] In this double team it is where we have this character [his name is the Golden One] and to cast this spell and to give it; it's full power he says it into a microphone which belongs to Autobot [Blaster] which he is in [his transformed mode of a Boombox.]

The artistic visions are creative and likewise highly imaginative as for another one example we meet these highly aggressive tree characters which have two character fused together [tree cyclops on the top and wild boar on the bottom, so it looks like this cyclops is sitting/riding this wild boar, but as I have already said they are fused together roughly just below the stomach of the tree cyclops; they have the ability to change into a tree and into this form and back again and they have these weapons at their disposal as well.]

Character developments/Comedy level: on both counts they put over to the viewers how sweet and comical Grimlock is; be it when he tries to clean these hieroglyphics even though he creates this massive dust cloud his heart is in the right place or referencing California in a dialogue exchange with Daniel Witwicky with Daniel making a comment about California as well [there are other comedy elements in the dialogue exchanges.]

This episode receives: 7/10, as I have already said this is another good episode, it offers something different and no I am not criticizing what this TV show usually brings to the table, but I am just stating that this episode is a palette cleanser and without seeing the next episode yet [as I am dictating this blog] we should be returning to our regular scheduled programming/conflict in the next episode.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 78: Surprise Party  by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is good

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is good and the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts in these two examples; in the first example we have the Combaticons vs. the Autobots [and Spike Witwicky] there is a lot of carnage in this sequence. Now moving on to the second example; later on we have this one-on-one action sequence Ultra Magnus vs. Cyclonus you can always guarantee that these one-on-one sequences are going to be hard hitting and this one delivers.

Character developments/Bloopers: this episode in one way or another is designed to put across to the viewers; Ultra Magnus as a character as for another one example Ultra Magnus cover up Autobots [Wheelie] and takes a shot for him.

The Bloopers; the first one is where Wheelie's voice is coming out of Daniel Witwicky's mouth [in The Hall of Records talking to this librarian robot] and the second one is where we have the turning of the two insignias and we should get the legendary sound that accompanies this small yet legendary component to these episodes. But instead the continuing background music from the previous scene to the next scene.

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode has been difficult to mark, I mean there is a high level of imagination and creativity and so on but I just chose the mark which gave me less of a headache at this time [when I finished dictating this blog.]

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 77: Starscream's Ghost by AverageMansReviews

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 77: Starscream's Ghost by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another excellent episode

Warning: this is another episode which may not be suitable for anyone that you think it isn't suitable for them or children because of its mature anime components [based on the title of this episode] it may be difficult to explain to some people that machines don't have souls and those kinds of elements.

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is a slow burner but it does get better the more you watch of this episode and the back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: for one example we have this racing sequence between Decepticon renegade [Octane] and Autobots [Sandstorm] and in this sequence there is this mountain in the background which firstly it is eye-catching and secondly it is elegant with its colour and its textures.

Character developments/Comedy level: in one way or another there is a lot of character developments be it chemistry/friction and yes they continue the friction between Octane and Galvatron and for another one example; the comedy level we have this hired hit individual [this individual's name is Skuxxoid and is hired by Galvatron,] but there is one massive problem that this individual has no hope in deactivating Octane, because there is clearly a massive size difference. But in fairness and balance Skuxxoid doesn't want this job, but he has kids to feed [as Skuxxoid is on Octane the viewers get to hear all this.]

Blooper: Starscream's voice is coming out of Octane and Octane's voice is coming out of Cyclonus [this will make better sense when you watch this episode but it should be Starscream's voice coming out of Cyclonus's mouth.

This episode receives: 9/10, you will notice the difference between when this episode is a slow burner to when it catches on fire [nailed on specific it is when Starscream enters this episode.]

Red's Dream 1987 by AverageMansReviews

Red's Dream 1987 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this project is top-notch entertainment, this project roughly 4 minutes long

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

Storyline/Back story: the storyline is good and the back story gets shown to us the viewers via mental imagery.

Artistic visions/Character developments: now at one point or another these two components all work off one another. The artistic visions and the character developments are singly or together the most important components to this project. Based on the facts that they tell the life of this unicycle from where he is, to what he used to be doing and back again to what he is doing now [this individual's name is Red.]

The artistic visions and the character developments put across to the viewers that this location and our lead character is either depressing [it is at night and it is raining, it builds a beautiful yet sad atmosphere from the very beginning] to the very end or depressed that our lead character is sleep wheeling and when he wakes up he tips his head forward [seat] and slowly wheels back to his corner followed by banging his head [seat] on the wall, slumping down in his corner to go back to sleep, so as you can see the body language/mannerisms off our lead character are powerful as to put all of this in depth-in; real emotions/feelings into this unicycle and on a quick side note and I am not going to take any marks of for this; but I would say by today's standards the Clown is looking a little bit vintage [yes just for the record I know vintage means things get better with age but in this context I mean respect to the project in question.]

Action sequences/Comedy level/Character developments: these three elements go hand-in-hand as well we see some of Red's act with his previous owner [this Clown,] juggling and this Clown taking a long time to realize something has gone wrong here, there is good chemistry between these two characters to put over to the viewers that many years ago this double act was highly successful and to push this idea/feeling home to us we have the audience watching this double act at this time, clapping and these kinds of things.

This film receives: 10/10, there is so much in the way of atmosphere, feeling and emotions, that it took me by surprise how hard-hitting this project is.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 76: Thief in the Night by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is good the back stories either get shown to us via [Teletraan II] or discussed in the dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Character developments/

Artistic visions: All three of these points go hand-in-hand at some point in this episode. The viewers see these two massive characters one Autobot [Metroplex] and one Decepticon [Trypticon] go one-on-one.

Metroplex is as I have already said a massive Autobot [his transformed modes are Robot, Autobot City and Battle Station mode.] Now moving on to Trypticon; he is also as I have already said massive in his own right but the Decepticons [to be more specific the Constructicons] they went down a slightly different route with Trypticon [transformed modes robot mode being of a dinosaur/Godzilla monster type, on reflection and after doing a little bit of research I knew if I was too specific about this character I would run the risk of receiving backlash from someone at some point in the future, so I have chosen to be a little bit vague to keep everyone happy, so it is up to the readers discretion what this character is but for me after doing some research he is a mixture of everything in this section, but I digress; City and Battle Station mode] and on a quick side note there is good chemistry between Trypticon and another Decepticon renegade [Octane] and good chemistry/friction between Galvatron and Octane [yes depending where you are; is depending what you get,] they should stretch out this uneasy situation between these two characters in upcoming episodes.

The artistic visions bring all the action sequences to life including the ones I haven't mentioned; they are easy to settle down with, engaging and are of chaotic nature and on top of that we get to see Trypticon taking or Metroplex returning these things or buildings of great value to Earth.

Blooper: now I did get confused by this; because in this episode Teletraan II voice is different in this episode to the one giving us this file on the Decepticons at the ending stages of this episode.

This episode receives: 8/10, as I have already said this episode is excellent.

Unlocked 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Unlocked 2017 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is poor.

Fundamental elements: there is a number and words on screen, voice-over elements cultural elements, interpreter yes and no to subtitles being used, background music, background music, slow-motion effects, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement; incredibly tiresome and uninspiring from beginning to end.

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline in theory should have been something safe and reliable, but in reality it didn't turn out that way so likewise this was tedious as well. The back stories get discussed in the dialogue exchanges or via this newspaper article with picture and this mental imagery working hand-in-hand at some point in this scene.

Comedy level/Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are tiny elements of comedy in the dialogue exchanges as it relates to one character/performer saying them [Alcott/Bloom,] next there are weapons being used, combat, chasing. Moving on to the artistic visions there are some good scenes of London Bridge and the NFL in London.

Character developments/Performances: I really don't know what to say here, because you get told/shown the character developments or as it relates to one particular situation you kind of know or suspect something, so it isn't that surprising when something happens [I can't say too much more than this; because it would be giving too much of the film away, but it will make crystal clear sense when you watch this project.]

The performances are very difficult to criticize, because it does feel like they are doing their job and that is it, in fact this is a very rare occasion where I can't really criticize them, because this film is that poor; off the top of my head there has been only one other occasion since I have been dictating reviews again; that a film title has a very similar problem and that would be Assassin's Creed 2014 and on a quick piece of research yes it was this project, so likewise in Assassin's Creed 2014 every performer gets a free-pass, because their talents were wasted the same can be said here for Unlocked 2017 [I will leave the link down below for Assassin's Creed 2014.]

This film receives: 1/10, I know even before I say this; I don't usually or I am usually not this blunt, but I really wouldn't recommend watching this film; to quickly balance this up if you are a fan of Malkovich or Douglas take a look at this film, but I do stress my mark here being 1/10 as well.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 75: Fight or Flee by AverageMansReviews

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 2, Disc 8] Episode 75: Fight or Flee by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is lots of fun

Storyline/Back story: this storyline hits the ground running right after the opening credits and it doesn't stop until the closing credits. There is articulate symbolism in this episode of; wherever these two warring Transformers [the Autobots and the Decepticons] go. They will leave their mark somehow on whatever Planet they are on. The back story either gets discussed in the dialogue exchanges or told via storyteller including mental imagery.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now these next four components gel fluently together, depending where you are; is depending what you get. The artistic visions and the action sequences beautifully bring this chaotic nature to this episode with many different things happening. For one example briefly we have Ultra Magnus wrestling with this sense seeking missile, he sends it on a new destination heading straight for the majority of the Combaticons [with two of them sitting inside this military weapons system and two of them standing one each side of it.]

Character development/Comedy level: there is so many characters being used in this episode and here is something for you to hear/look out for; the viewers will get this strong feeling/see how hard-nosed Rodimus Prime has become to this ongoing war in this last dialogue exchange for this episode and moving on to the comedy level; there are these moments in the dialogue exchanges such as Galvatron just pointing out to Bruticus what he just said was just an expression.

This episode receives: 10/10, in one way or another this episode brings a lot of highly entertaining carnage to the table. Now this is just something strange that I had to point out now we meet these pacifist Autobots that live on this Planet Paradron, so my question is this; if they are pacifists how come they have a big Prison? I know in fairness and balance the Decepticons could have gotten these Autobot pacifists to build it as we see them being enslaved to build other things in this episode. But even hypothetically speaking with the Constructicons [Devastator] and the Combaticons [Bruticus] this still would have taken some time.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 3, Volume 1, Disc 7] Episode 74: Forever Is a Long Time Coming by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is good and the back stories either get discussed in the dialogue exchanges or we get to experience a little bit of it in this episode.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: these two elements work hand-in-hand with one another to bring this episode to life; for an example this small selection of these Autobots including a Junkion [Wreck-Gar] vs. these Sharkticons [in transformed mode of a Shark] this battle takes place in outer space

Character developments: we have one Quintesson Scientist and one Quintesson General in this episode. This seems a good time to point out that these two different types of Quintessons don't have the five rotating faces [I know I have said something to this effect already as it relates to the Scientist, but as these two Quintesson types spend time on screen in this episode, I was thinking there wasn't any harm referencing this point again.]

Bloopers: there are  Quintessons characters in this scene, but I am specifically focusing on this Quintesson Scientist voice coming out of the Quintesson General's mouth for a small yet highly noticeable amount of time and here is something for you to look out for; there are these two identical Aerialbots [standing closer to The Time Window and just for those people that don't know there are no twins in this collective,] whilst we have Rodimus Prime and this Quintesson Scientist sharing this important dialogue exchange with the Aerialbot commander/leader [Silverbolt] saying his opinion with A3 or when he gets older known as Alpha Trion standing there as well or final blooper when we have this Quintesson [with the five faces which rotate around] giving this monologue/ultimatum and his face which is not in control at this time is talking, now just to cover my back I have always been under the impression that they couldn't do this but I could be wrong.

Apologies: now in the ending section of this episode we get given this file on [Predacons and Predaking,] from [Teletraan II] voice-over this sequence involving these characters on watching this/listening to this; it sounds like I should have been using the word "commander" instead of "leader" and the only reason I used it with Silverbolt is because Optimus Prime says it to Silverbolt in an episode, I was changing things around in a previous episode review I released some time and then I changed it back. Because I was thinking "I can either focus on this or come out with new contents, I can't do both." So I quickly came up with the easier and quicker way of addressing this and putting it in this blog, so once again I apologize for any inconvenience I have course and yes I will still stay with the word "leader," because I am 74 episodes in to this TV program and we haven't got many episodes left.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode has lots to offer in one way or another.

Doctor Sleep 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Doctor Sleep 2019 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this sequel is mixed

Fundamental elements: there is a number and words on screen, voice-over elements cultural elements, background music, quick moving effects, no subtitles when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

The movement; roughly speaking because I wasn't paying attention the first half of this film is very slow and such a chore, whilst the second half shows what this sequel is capable of on every single level [on a quick side note this sequel is roughly 152 minutes long] and in fairness to the movement of this film, as you will see/read in the next paragraph it isn't all the movements fault.

Storyline/Back stories/Origin storyline: well the storyline could have done with some work, like take a chunk off at the beginning [at least 30 minutes or more,] because if they had done this; maybe this film would have a little bit more get up and go to it on a whole consequently; it would have been easier to settle down with and this sequel has been left open for another sequel, that is all I can say about that really and there is this under age sexual element; this is just a heads up [just to cover my back both ways on one hand as it goes for an element there is nothing major here and secondly no I am not condoning this kind of thing, but I'm just saying it as it is as it relates to this film.] The back stories get shown normally in the film to the viewers or via mental imagery or discussed in the dialogue exchanges and the viewers get to bear witness to this origin scene/sequence for this character/performer.

Artistic visions/Action sequences: now at some points these two elements work hand-in-hand, in these mind battles or when a character/performer uses their particular Shining/Steam. Now be it individually with Azzie [the Cat] or the miniature City and Train as it relates to the artistic visions or weapons being used or our lead character/performer using his Shining to borrow another character's/performer's body to firstly find out where they are going, secondly have a dialogue exchange with another character/performer and finally to take care of this individual as it relates to the action sequences.

In a nutshell these two elements together or individually are a massive positive impact in this sequel.

Character developments/Performances: well these are slightly difficult to describe, just based on what half you are in of this film; the first half they need a rocket up there posterior in the sense of the chemistry/friction on both counts be it the character developments are the performances. But in the second half of this sequel the character developments/performances [let's just keep in mind what I said earlier about the movement of this sequel, so all I am saying is maybe it could be either the movement individually or the performances individually or I am comfortable suggesting a mixture between these two points.]

But having said that Hallorann/Lumbly and The Hat/Ferguson; deserve to be pointed out as characters/performers; they bring chemistry or friction when they are on screen at any point; these two performances are good.

Blooper: there is this baseball character/performer; the viewers never find out what happens to his body, all we know is our main character/performer and a supporting character/performer have it in the back of this car.

This film receives: 5/10, this sequel can be best described as a film of two half so this mark is a true reflection of it.
