Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/bodily functions/man on woman violence/burning/vehicle crash/hit by vehicle/breaking/animal cruelty/medical/references to homosexuality and domestic violence

On WNKW radio station: we meet Erica Bain [Jodie Foster:] she works on this radio station as a host of her own programme "Street Walk," she is looking forward to getting married to her fiancé; well that is she would be you see he was tragically killed and she was left in a coma; but now she has woken up seeking revenge.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 122 minutes film is really slow, it is worth mentioning that the script itself is one of as I have already referenced revenge so based on this interpretation it does feel like they're where struggling to fill up screen time; but separately or together with or without the script the framework and pacing is something straightforward, but at best angling long.

Action; they are reliably what they are; I mean I can't say too much just based on they are fulfilling their purpose.

Character developments and performances; they are mostly reliably good versions of what they are meant to be as there is one thing that really well and truly irritated me, but I will bring that up momentarily later; Foster and Terrence Howard as Detective Sean Mercer; he is on the case of this vigilantes, he is a listener of "Street Walk" and will bring him to justice; yes this is what irritated me and I am not being woke here, but it never enters anyone's mind until much later that it could be a woman vigilante and not only that they make reference to it being a man on more than one occasion; individually or together these two performers keep this film going, so good job here.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; I mean it knows what it is and it sticks to what it is; it is good enough for a one-time viewing especially if you like one or both of these performers and full disclosure I looked over my notes for this content, I originally gave it something slightly higher, but I can't remember why and regardless this mark a better representation of this title anyone. This film also has award accredited to it; 1 Winner Jupiter Award 2008 Jupiter Award Best International Actress Jodie Foster and 7 Nominees which includes BET Awards 2008 BET Award Best Actor Terrence Howard Shared with: The Perfect Holiday and Taurus World Stunt Awards 2008 Taurus Award Best Overall Stunt by a Woman Stuntwoman gets hit head on by a car.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for NXT No Mercy 2024 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for NXT No Mercy 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Jaida Parker vs. Champ Roxanne Perez; Singles Match for the NXT Women's Championship: my pick is Roxanne Perez. Simply put; this championship isn't going anywhere soon.

Wendy Choo vs. Champ Kelani Jordan; Singles for the WWE Women's North American Championship: my pick is Kelani Jordan. As this is the inaugural championship run this championship likewise isn't going anywhere soon.

The D'Angelo Family's: Tony D’Angelo [with Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino & Adriana Rizzo] vs. Champ Oba Femi; Singles Match for the NXT North American Championship: my pick is Oba Femi. He is going to demolish this stable, I mean I get as in his progression, but it is a shame that it has become at the expense of a cornerstone of this brand of modern times in The D'Angelo Family.

Chase University's: Andre Chase & Ridge Holland [with Duke Hudson, Riley Osborne & Thea Hail] vs. Champs Nathan Frazer & Axiom; Tag Team Match for the NXT Tag Team Championship: my pick is Chase University's: Andre Chase & Ridge Holland as Holland has been a member of the stable since on my research May 2024, maybe it would be a good idea to consolidate him in there with giving them/him these championship.Update Sunday; it has just come to my attention that the champions where vice versa in this match slot so I apologise for my mistake.

Representing TNA: The Rascalz: Zachary Wentz vs. Representing NXT: Wes Lee; Singles Match: my pick is Wes Lee. I should heavily point out I could be and I am heavily speculating, this feels like one of those occasions where perhaps  Trey Miguel, could turn against Wentz and join Lee as they were old stablemates as well in the stable The Rascalz.

Representing TNA: Joe Hendry vs. Representing NXT: Champion Ethan Page; Singles Match for the NXT Championship with Trick William as special guest referee: my pick is Ethan Page. I do expect Williams to accidentally hit Page to do similarities on how Page won the championship; that kind of presentation to set up a rematch between these two competitors.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Warning/just a heads up/Speculation: at one point or another I will be using a softer/censored adult language references and speculating.

Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Champs The Unholy Union's: Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn; Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: my pick is The Unholy Union's: Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. Well based on a future Premium Live Event taking place on Saturday 05/10/2024 [I will be discussing later on in this content;] it is inevitable that they are going to split up Belair and Cargill in some way or another or definitely indicate that is where we are heading.

The Terror Twin's: Damian Priest & Rhea Ripley vs. The Judgment Day's: Dominik Mysterio & the WWE World Women's Champion Liv Morgan; Mixed Tag Team Match: my pick is Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan. Basically, because even though I have said basically I still have a lot to say, they will win here by more than likely interference from their stable mates, that is a bit of a give me let's be honest. But after the match itself, maybe a male wrestling will come down to somewhat even the numbers, to speculation set up a match at WWE Bad Blood [Saturday 05/10/2024;] between Finn Bálor & Carlito vs. Damian Priest & this individual; Tag Team Street Fight if Bálor or Priest win they can name their stipulation of their match at WWE Crown Jewel 2024 and/or Ripley could challenge Morgan to a Ladder Match at WWE Bad Blood where if Ripley wins she gets an opportunity at Morgan's championship and gets to name the stipulation at WWE Crown Jewel, but if Morgan wins Ripley has to go to the back of the queue and start from scratch and Morgan doesn't have to wrestle at WWE Crown Jewel 2024.

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre; Strap Match: my pick is CM Punk. Because simply put and this is just speculation; but this feud isn't ending here, you see I had the idea that they would finish probably finish this feud at WWE Bad Blood and I can pretty much speculated which stipulation will be used you see I looked up this event name and I found something very useful Badd Blood: In Your House 1997; where we had The Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels; Hell In A Cell Match to determine the #1 contender to the WWF Championship at Survivor Series and roughly 27 years later, they may want to pay some kind of homage to this by booking this match stipulation for Punk and McIntyre, which if this is the case this is something I can get invested in to be fair to the WWE.

Kevin Owens vs. Champ Cody Rhodes; Singles Match for the Undisputed WWE Championship: my pick is Cody Rhodes. I don't have too much to say here other than Rhodes is retain here, of what I have seen which full disclosure is very little this championship reign has been very boring, if I was to be brutally honest what was the point of taking it off Reigns? And some of the out there are now thinking why stop there tell us what you really think? Okay I will it is weird for me to say this, but it does feel like that Rhodes' reign as champion has become a stopgap for I don't know someone better to return [Reigns or someone else] or someone new just take it off Rhodes.

Randy Orton vs. Champ Imperium's: King Walter; Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship; If Orton wins the championship, he will be transferred to Raw and Gunther will be transferred to SmackDown: my pick is King Walter. Likewise I don't have much to say here other than please WWE don't fudge this up like you did at WWE King and Queen of the Ring when these two competitors last did the wrestling on a Premium Live Eventand yes I know they probably did this to build into this match up, but in this case it wasn’t even close thing was it? As in Orton’s shoulder was very much off the mat, all I am saying is they could have done it much better anyway, I’m just talking about the execution and not how we got here.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/robotics/birth/animal feeding/decomposing/disintegrating/disfigurement/stabbing/electrocution/bodily functions/shooting/medical

Weyland-Yutani: briefly we meet Rain [Cailee Spaeny:] she is an orphaned miner for this megacorporation, she has a brother Andy [David Jonsson:] a synthetic/reprogrammed android by Rain's father as her surrogate brother and their jokes. She gets offered to be a part of this skirmish to this very familiar location to find these very useful items, but they can't do it without Andy also, I am sure that nothing can or will go wrong; but hey at least we get to see a familiar face does well.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 119 minutes film is/are problematic [don't give a wrong on the whole this instalment of this franchise is good,] but as you will read there are problems. Like straight off the bat for about 40 minutes there is no aliens/xenomorphs and just to cover my back the 40 minutes is just a guess and without giving too much away; they really did screw up the closing section of this instalment; they could have ended this instalment about yet again another guess 20 minutes earlier and really made it some great content for a potential sequel, which I'm not saying there won't be a sequel or I am not confirming that there is a sequel. I'm just saying for here and now they really blew it for a follow-on sequel, to the point where I said to the person I watch some of this content with; "There will be a sequel." But the more I watched of the closing stages I was like "Please stop, you are destroying an excellent idea/avenue for the sequel."The background music mostly does nothing for this instalment and trust me when I say you will know when I mean, because it is dominating and very loud. So as you can guess the pacing is really slow for roughly the first 40 minutes, but for the rest of the time it actually is lively.

Art and action; the art has to be given high praise for its minimalistic approach [as in clean and tidy;] in its locations and/or scenery constructions, for the action and their presentation; well as always with this franchise they are available and let's put this politely highly detailed, with chaos and stomach breaking/birth.

Character developments and performances; minus a small number the rest of them follow a paint by numbers version of what they are meant to be and the performances reflect that, but for the two newcomers in Rain/Spaeny and/or Andy/Jonsson individually or together they very much are the driving force behind this instalment and put into this where they can grow and develop these characters and the performances of these versions of its characters in possibly/speculation in further film title instalments; if that is what they are doing here; there is potentially more to come from these individuals/partnership; it just depends if they are going with it or not?

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; yes this instalment clearly has problems based on my opinion, but once it gets going and minus the closing stages; this instalment is comfortably in this section of my marking system, I was going to give it another higher mark, but after taking everything into consideration, it was hard to justify it; basically when it is good; it is good as in it looks and feels like an Alien instalment, but when it isn't so good; it just isn't so good yes it may look highly engaging, but there needs to be a little bit more substance/meat with the gravy; instead of just the gravy. This film has also got 1 Nominee award accredited to its name as of this content being first created anyway; Astra Midseason Movie Awards 2024 Astra Midseason Award Most Anticipated Movie

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/cutting/electrocution/medical/reference to cancer

Mission assemble: basically; the British government assemble this team led by Orson Fortune/other name [Jason Statham:] he basically is the best agent they have and we have Sarah Fidel/other name [Aubrey Plaza:] she is the equivalent of the new guy has she has joined from that other team, she is tech support amongst other things; their mission is steel/capture this device known as "The Handle.'

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes film is good to begin with, but to be honest I don't know what actually happens, because after a little time it just gets progressively slower and slower to the point where I was struggling to keep awake and interested

Comedy and action; Fortune has very expensive tastes and other things, if you want him to go on a mission his expensive requirements have to be matched, the back and forth between  Fortune and Fidel; these are a good or/and Danny Francesco [Josh Hartnett:] this actor and yes I mean this as a character; this actor has to play himself Danny Francesco to help this team as he is being softly blackmailed to being part of this very dangerous situations. The action is solid and reliable, but as I watched this project short time ago and in days; nothing really stood out for me yes we get some shooting and martial arts combat with comedy elements in

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; meaning as I have already indicated in one way or another, it is very formulaic and there is one extra sequence.

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/shooting

Everything is not okay with Justin: Action, Character [Character developments,] Storyline and Art; basically Justin is shot with this ray gun/lie ray so every time he lies a Piranhatron will appear. The concept of this ray gun/lie ray is good fun; just to cover my back of what I can see of it, to be fair I will give it the benefit of the doubt.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; meaning it is a run-of-the-mill episode from the early years of this TV franchise.

The Infidel 2010 by AverageMansReviews

The Infidel 2010 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is racism/burning/medical/reference to homosexuality. Because of the world will now living in I should also point out that this script has been written by David Baddiel a British Jewish person/and he is somewhere in this film about as well; yes I looked at the casting listing and we have Djalili he is a British Muslim so all I am trying to politely indicate is that they have their bases covered for the content in this film.

I am so trying not to get cancelled: basically; we meet  Mahmud Nasir/other name [Omid Djalili:] that is going through a difficult time in his life as his mother has just passed on, he discovers that he is adopted which makes him partly Jewish; before he can meet his electrical father he has to learn the Jewish faith; before time runs out.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 105 minutes film is firstly straightforward as in it knows what it is designed to do and stick to it, but it is a little bit slow.

Comedy; well I would like to refer back to the fact that the writer and our lead performer can individually yet combined effort can get away with this as I can't as I am firstly a non-practising Christian and secondly Caucasian. But having said that; having a Muslim character trying to learn how to be Jewish has comical substance as our lead character tries to learn how to speak Jewish and he keeps getting it wrong in a sequence or/and I am not trying to be a racist or racial here but if you have been following Mr. Djalili long enough as in his stand-up comedy work, you would know by now at one point or another in his routines; he does dancing; so I can reassure you he does some dancing in this film and as I suspected there is an inside joke in this project; our lead character is a Tottenham Hotspur football/soccer supporter, but on some research, because I couldn't remember if it was Arsenal or Chelsea he supported; it is Chelsea he supports so there is no way he would wear a Tottenham Hotspur emblem/symbol or anything to do with this club [for those outside of the UK and football/soccer, these are all London based clubs, so there is rivalry here and yes I should quickly point out there are so many other London based clubs; now if there are some people out there saying okay like who? Firstly I am a football/soccer supporter so this question is relatively easy; but off the top my head; you have Crystal Palace, West Ham United Queen's Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic; even though I said it was relatively easy I just had to do some research on Charlton Athletic; but I digress.] The last thing I could say about the comedy is; it is very British as it uses this sometimes awkward situation based presentation.

Art; the wardrobe and/or the locations for the wedding; this is a wash of colour and vibrancy.

Character developments and performances; they are reliably good versions of what they are meant to be and their performances reflect that also, but it is down to Djalili's performance that really is very much the driving force behind this project, without him this film would have sunk, you need someone with his enthusiasm to make this kind of film work.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; in hindsight I decided to give this project one more mark back, because even though the framework and pacing and towards the later stages this film does somewhat hit the wall and it never feels like it gets back to where it was, I have to give it another mark based on the cast and/or Djalili and just after that title of this film there is one extra scene. This film also has some awards accredited to it as well; 1 Winner Torino Film Festival 2010 Jury Prize Best Actor Omid Djalili and 2 Nominees that includes from this ceremony/event Prize of the City of Torino Best Feature Film Josh Appignanesi and Evening Standard British Film Awards 2011 Peter Sellers Award for Comedy Omid Djalili

Suspect 1987 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/shooting/men on woman violence/suicide/medical/reference to capital punishment

Write to talk: Kathleen Riley [Cher:] she is a public defender that has a very difficult task before Christmas on defending this homeless individual that has been accused of murder Carl Wayne Anderson [Liam Neeson:] any homeless individual that once served his country in the Vietnam war, but now is deaf and dumb because of it. On the jury we meet Eddie Sanger [Dennis Quaid:] a lobbyist can be found usually on Capitol Hill doing his thing and to begin with really doesn't be a part of jury service.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 121 minutes film is really, really, really slow and I know it is probably a different world thing as this film was released in the late 1980's, but the background music even though it is there to build suspense and/or investigation atmosphere; it is really quite domineering and a waste of time as it just comes off as annoying.

Action; there a crumb of action here and there, but that is about it, this is one of those occasions where if it isn't there for me to talk about it I can't really stretch a crumb; but what I can say is; what there is it serves its purpose.

Character developments and performances; well they are reliable versions of what they are meant to be, mixed with all positive performances, but let's be really honest here without Cher, Quaid and Neeson would have very easily fallen flat on its face as this film is very much driven by dialogue or/and communication in some way

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; don't get me wrong if you are a fan of Cher, Quaid or/and Neeson and/or court room based projects take a look at this film, but as I have made it probably crystal clear by this point it is really slow.

Warning: there is flashing effects/shooting/stabbing/suffocating/torture/running over/vehicle crash/drugs/biting/medical

In 1981 Australia: Danny Bryce [Jason Statham:] an ex-contract killer, after his last job went a little sidewoods is having to come out of retirement, because Hunter [Robert De Niro:] a contract killer that is good friends with Bryce, that has got himself into some trouble and needs Bryce needs to get him out of trouble

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing for this 116 minutes film is for heavy amount of the time stagnant, what with the changes of locations with named on-screen or without, by the time it actually settled into some kind of progressive movement, I couldn't be bothered with this project, my interest really did switch off.

Action; well they are very much what we come to expect in the modern action genre, I mean the only action sequence that stood out for me and the person I watch some of this content with is where Bryce users this chair as a weapon whilst he is still tied to it, he is able to flip it and land on somebody.

Character developments and performances; they are on both counts designed/solid versions of what they are meant to be. Well saying that I have just remembered that and I don't usually give this information way, but it is so poorly done that I have to make a reference to it; this film may indicate to its viewers that this character may be dead, by the usage of memory recalls. But this character isn't dead; this kind of character development has been done incredibly poorly and I am being nice when I say that; in fact it makes his film look like a joke.

This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; don't get me wrong it is on the whole a solid film, but it is just that and obviously if you are a Statham fan or/and De Niro [just a heads up; he is in a supporting role in this title] take a look at this film, but just keep my mark in mind as without being arrogant it is probably an average, but fair reflection of it and there is some art in the ending credits as we see these performers in this kind of dot art; this is well worth looking at and yes usually I put this down as an extra bits and pieces, but in this case I was thinking I would put a little bit more substance here. This film has some awards accredited to its name and no they are not all positives; 2 Winners Australian these awards are from the same award ceremony/event for a little while; Screen Sound Guild 2012 ASSG Award Feature Film Soundtrack of the Year and Best Achievement in Sound for Film Sound Mixing Pete Smith Chris Goodes Paul Pirola Andy Neil Andy Wright. 8 Nominees which includes Best Achievement in Sound for Film Sound Design Paul Pirola Andrew Plain Hayden Collow Carlo Cosentino Leah Katz Yulia Akerholt Lucas Bone Craig Carter Brendan Croxon Les Fiddess Blair Slater Adam Connelly Nicolas Gilou Chris Goodes Cameron Grant James Harvey Nick Kray Frank Lipson Glenn Newnham Martin OswinBrooke Trezise Frédéric Ullmann and Best Achievement in Sound for a Feature Film - Location Sound Recording Gary Wilkins Gretchen Thorn burnChris O'Shea Bryn Duffy Cam Eason Nigel Albermaniche Andrew Quinney and now onto the negative Irina Palm d'Or 2011 Irina Palm Worst British Director Gary McKendry

 

 

 

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for All In 2024 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for All In 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Mariah May vs. Champ Toni Storm; Singles Match for the AEW Women's Championship: my pick is Toni Storm. I have no proof of this, but I don't know what it is, but I smell either a massive return or/a massive debut after this match when their entrance music hits it will stop these two competitors from continuing their combat, now there is one person that would fit this position, but and I do stress I don't see it happening and that would be Rebecca Quinn a.k.a. Becky Lynch, because I had seen the rumour mill just today, speculating what names could show up, but as you will see I have in one way or another speculated one gender debut each.

Will Ospreay vs. Champ MJF; Singles Match for the AEW American Championship: my pick is MJF. Of what I have seen online in content clips, it does feel like this feud has lots more to go and don't worry it British wrestler will win at this pay-per-view.

Darby Allin vs. Champ The Elite's: Jack Perry; Coffin Match for the AEW TNT Championship: my pick is Jack Perry. I know Allin usually wins this stipulation of match. But considering Perry has just changed the style/look of this championship, I am going out with a bit of foreshadowing here and on top of that The Elite are running high.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. vs. Champ Mercedes Moné [with Kamille;] Singles Match for the AEW TBS Championship: my pick is Mercedes Moné. It does feel like that this feud has more to offer after this pay-per-view; Even if Baker goes after Kamille for a little while for costing her this opportunity here.

Casino Gauntlet; Casino Gauntlet Match for a future AEW World Championship Match: my pick is Ricochet/Trevor Mann. I should quickly state that on one hand he as far as I'm aware has not been booked for this match/match slot, so it could be a surprise entrant. But what I do know is; he has signed a long-term contract with this promotion and if the main event goes how I think it will go this would be a fantastic first opponent for the AEW World Champion after this pay-per-view, but in hindsight regardless of who wins the main event match Ricochet/Trevor Mann would be an excellent choice.

Hook vs. Champ Chris Jericho [with Big Bill;] Last Chance Match for the FTW Championship, If Hook loses, he can never challenge for the FTW Championship for as long Jericho is champion: my pick is Chris Jericho. I have a feeling that they might want to go with a stalking storyline, so even though Hook doesn't win here and consequently all of this comes into effect, that doesn't stop him from stalking Jericho and interfering in his matches and so on and so forth.

FTR's: Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood vs. The Acclaimed 's: Anthony Bowens and Max Caster [with Billy Gunn;] vs. The Elite's: The Young Bucks': Matthew & Nicholas Jackson; Three-Way Tag are Team Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship: my pick is The Young Bucks': Matthew & Nicholas Jackson. As I made reference to earlier, this stable/faction are riding high at the moment so I don't expect them to lose here.

Bang Bang Gang's: Juice Robinson, Austin & Colten Gunn vs. House of Black's: Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews vs. Pac and Blackpool Combat Club's: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta vs. Champs The Patriarchy's: Christian Cage, Killswitch, and Nick Wayne [with Mother Wayne;] Four-Way London Ladder Match for the AEW World Trios Championship: my pick is Pac and Blackpool Combat Club's: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta. For me personally this would be an excellent choice considering Pac would fit in nicely and also like a made a reference earlier he is also British so and not forgetting he was injured last year so it would make everyone happy to see at least one British wrestler go over and he deserves to be honest.

Blackpool Combat Club's: Bryan Danielson vs. Champ Swerve Strickland [with Prince Nana;] Title vs. Career Match for the AEW World Championship: my pick is Bryan Danielson. For me Danielson should in theory hold onto this championship until AEW: Revolution 2025 to set up a similar situation that they did with Sting, but in this case have Strickland, MJF and Danielson in a triple threat match for this championship. I have chosen these two competitors, based on the fact I have seen enough throughout the years to say these two are the present and future of AEW, I should just point out I am now aware that Danielson is not working under an AEW contracts.

Hulk Hogan is caught being racist again in 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Hulk Hogan is caught being racist again in 2024 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: I will be using adult language references, but a softer version.

Hogan hasn't learned there are now mobile devices around him: so roughly on may be Tuesday 20/08/2024 Hogan is on stage doing some wrestling back and forth like the " What" chant thing and then moving on to verbally slamming Kamala Harris which I have seen on social media as well, he may have been drunk which I am not going to defend, I am simply putting it out there. But now I have done the necessary requirement to point that out; I can now say this one a complete idiot he is; straight up 100% complete and utter idiot he is, I mean firstly for me and I have seen this clip two or three times and possibly more to get this content right. As I was saying for me the first slur Hogan says is Kamala and no am not being picky he says it has there is a wrestler that has this name but if you put a different emphasis on it sound like the wrestler pronunciation instead of the politician pronunciation and trust me when I say if you were to look up this wrestler you would understand the slur and the racist connotations. Let me put it this way; if someone with brain damage like myself can educate myself to pronounce names correctly or at minimum trying not to be offensive and having a good go then I think Hogan can learn how to pronounce Kamala correctly.

Then he goes on about her being a chameleon, okay I like it then HOW [like a Native American] can this man ever just stop being a fudgin' imbecile for two seconds and just for the record she was born in Oakland, California USA. He turns to somebody on stage and says into the microphone am gon' to get some heat for that one brother, he quickly says and [points down to some beers] that wasn't me talking that was the beers talking. The video cuts to him downing a beer on stage with some people and then cutting again to him signing some merchandise still on stage with people saying USA, USA and can I just say to everyone in this location; you are a bunch of seals clapping for a fish, having one of your American icons such as Hulk Hogan yet again being racist and not at the very least being silent or booing him is just stupid.

I should imagine I am not the only one here thinking man; Dude when are you going to learn this is the technological age where if you're not careful anything and everything can and will be recorded, I mean of all people I thought you would have learned from 2015 and that whole saga involving recording and him using the unpleasant reference to African-American people. I remember in a content creators interview once with Hulk Hogan, he did make a reference to if my memory is correct he isn’t a big drinker anymore or something to that effect, I do feel here that was  a get out of jail card as he doesn’t seem to be slurring his words and trust me when I say and as everyone should know if you are going to do the What back and forth if you were intoxicated or significantly intoxicated, you would be easily found out as you have to keep up with the back and forth and coming up with different lines or even if it was partly reversed he would still have two remember the lines or you know any of the basic signs of being intoxicated [basically and putting this nicely; I hope you appreciate that I am trying to be unbiased and reasonable here, because to be completely honest I am fed up my back teeth of Hogan and what he really stood for.]

But I think we all know he isn't going to change and if that is more than likely the case can we keep him away from the wrestling industry and at minimum a live microphone.

Heavy warning/Heavy disclaimer: I will be using adapted adult language at one point or another and I cannot stress this enough, I will be saying things that will be offensive to some including and unapologetically mocking and in this content we are still at the RNC 2024 for the final time as it relates to this series of content.

Let's just get this done: it should be noted I am fully aware that Hulk Hogan alongside other individuals made the wrestling industry extremely popular and consequently mainstream, so we can ever take that away from him. But I do have to ask was any of what his character stood for real? Or was he just a genius con man? Because his kids are screwed up in one way or another, he clearly does not like people of a different background and he is just interested in money. So I ask again was Hulk Hogan or/and Hulkamania as in a lifestyle of taking your vitamins and trying to live a good life real or just bull shish kebab. Personally I have known it for years when or/I got the idea/impression when he did Hogan Knows Best 2005-2007 where amongst other things; but where Brooke couldn't have a normal life without him basically controlling her whilst Nick could do anything he liked. Now I am aware this could be somewhat scripted, so they could be in some elements that can be opened to being discredited possibly, but if it is/was how this family was on a general scale it doesn't show at minimum Hulk Hogan in the best light or indeed his family back then. My point being here is; I was generally speaking under the impression Hulk Hogan was an okay guy before this TV program, I mean I did hear little bits and pieces, but I always went with the wrestling industry can now and again be a dirty thing. But from let's say 2005 to now in 2024 and let's be honest after this as well; Hulk Hogan just feels like a con man that gave us the wrestling industry by just being a carnival con merchant and some of the content will be a rough transcript a very rough transcript.

At this event: Hogan comes out and does his ear gesture, I mean at the very least when you see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson giving interviews about things outside of wrestling unless he is promoting a wrestling movie for an example; he is just Dwayne Johnson. But then again I have just noticed maybe Hogan doing his ear thing is a poorly timed thing considering Donald Trump had one ear covered up.

Hogan then goes into a wrestling promo with his usual shtick, which instantaneously outside of the restaurant bubble is embarrassing, because you are at a serious adult event and you are performing as a wrestler giving a press conference before or after a wrestling event. But then again this crowd is just acting like a bunch of steel lapping up, as a long-term off and on wrestling fan since the middle of the 80's, can I just say that this is pathetic, you are here to talk about the state of your country and your just goofing around with this absolute garbage.

Come on; Hogan grow up; he makes reference to the no good stinky giant again. I mean I am just at the beginning of this speech and I am already extremely annoyed, then making reference to Trump being his hero; saying basically we're going to bring America back together, one real at a time brother.

Hogan when on about he knows some great tag team like him and Savage and then he went on to indicate I think Trump and DJ Vance and then are we have the most beautiful timed blooper where Hogan says Donald Dick/but quickly changed it to J. Trump; I am thinking nope you got that right the first time Hogan. Hogan basically says get ready has Trump's support base/fan base will be called Trumpites will run wild 4 years [now I am not instigating anything here, but just really looking/hearing what Hogan is actually saying] firstly I want to make this crystal clear I am not twisting anything, but simply concerned about his usage of his shtick about things running wild, what happens if they don't get Trump back in the White House? You see how easily that could be interpreted as riots again, Hogan double down and makes the running wild reference again which I would strongly have advised him not to. He basically is putting across that everything will be better under Trump again then moves on to paints Trump including his family and his business as victims Hogan then does his let's just say ripping of his clothing routine which is really pathetic, you remember when he could rip his clothing with ease and comfort? Well those days are long gone, but at least he had another item of clothing underneath.

Then he does his ear thing again and switches from Hogan to Terry Bollea saying he just had to give you a little taste or something to that effect and then he goes on about being an entertainer; entertainer are you? More like a con man, a fraud and canival would be the honest truth. He goes on about I have tried to stay out of politics but with what is happening to our country over the past four years and everything that happened last weekend I could no longer stays silent. I am here tonight because I want the world to know that Donald Trump is a real American hero. [Hold on; briefly what ever respect I had for Bollea/Hogan which are fragments at this point are well and truly flying out the window and flying away; but we digress.] I am proud to support my hero as president of these United States, I have known Donald Trump for 35 years [Well that is hardly surprising considering you run in similar circles; but please continue;] okay Bollea is having a senior moment when he talks about the last time he was on this state wrestling in front of Donald Trump bleeding and he won a championship, as he basically puts over that Trump will win the presidency as when he becomes president we will all win again, he continues by going on again about he has known Donald Trump for 35 years, he is the biggest patriot and he has always told you what he thinks and he still does and no matter the odds, he always finds to win and when he is back in the White House again, we will start winning again. [I just say; this is a load of horse dumplings; he just keeps going on and on about how great Trump is; there is no actual substance here apart from at best bring the US apparently back together again and I really have to get something off my chest; I really can't fudgin' take it anymore we have Trump grinning like a Cheshire cat; unless unknown to me he is having his monthly bowel movement.]

Continuation; Bollea makes more wrestling references to pulled over Trump as the baddest guy as in hard as nails and then moves on to the investigations, the impeachments and court cases and he is still there kicking their butts, we never had it better than the Trump years back, then we had a thriving economy, we strongly borders [I really, really have to get something off my chest Hulkamania or/and the N.W.O yes even this heel fraction which has legendary status was on some level about unity; so I just find it disgusting that on some level Bollea doesn't hold anything like the same kind of values, instead his own values are very much pull up the ladder and screw everyone knows. I mean Jessie Ventura has recently talked about this situation/if you have been around wrestling long enough you know of this story; where Ventura was trying to bring about change in the WWF/E at the time; talking about unionisation, the story goes and just for the record I believe in Ventura; because throughout the years his story hasn't changed that Hogan found out and went to Mr. McMahon and Ventura lost his job.] But back to Bollea saying we had safe streets and respect around the world [ Hold on; that is complete garbage we were laughing at you, basically because no one knew what he was going to say or do next.] But please carry on Bollea; then we lost it all in a blink of an eye, crime is out of control, the border is out of control the price of food and gas is out of control and housing is out of control and the only person who can clean this up is Donald Trump. You know guys I really, really love this country and I have lived the American dream [me saying this; yes that is very true by screwing everyone else over and being a con man, so if you want to call that living the American dream you are free to do so; but I wouldn't buy all means work hard, get well paid go around the world, but and this is a big but make sure you leave a place better than you found it; you can't say that can you Bollea? I mean do you want to know what a real American looks like; how about the real "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes; I mean this obviously in the greatest respect and light, he was never the best built wrestler, but what he did have is in hard work ethic, because he started from nothing; he kept going even when the WWF was trying to discredit/disrespect him by putting him in yellow polkadots, he was still able to get over with that gimmick and shine through and after he retired he kept making the wrestling industry better in one way or another; I mean go and look up Dusty Rhodes talks about "hard times": Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, Oct. 29, 1985; this is how you inspire and yes he mention his physique as well.]Bollea continues; I want my kids, your kids and all teeny Hulkamaniacs out there to live the American dream to, this November guys we can save the American dream for everyone and Donald Trump is the president that will get the job done. So all in criminal, all you lowlife, all you scumbags, all you drug dealers, all crooked politicians [that is funny you are endorsing one, by US law as things currently stand as of this content anyway] but please continue need to answer one question Watcha gonna do brother when Donald Trump and the Trumpmaniacs run wild on you brother. God bless you and thank you.

I don't care who he wants to be now Terry Bollea or Hulk Hogan; he is just a fraud and for those young wrestler out there, I may not know the ins and outs of wrestling like you do. But allow me to give you two pieces of advice from two respected individuals; Sting be lucky with injuries and from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson put a piece of itself in your gimmicks or something to that effect that way the people out there won't feel cheated. Which in this case as it relates to Hogan for such a long time and now it feels like that we never, ever knew him and words coming out of his mouth as Hulk Hogan were just dollars in a register, as I said at the beginning he was and is the one that took wrestling to a global audience and no one can take that away from him, but the rest of it is now tainted because of the smoke and mirrors.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/bodily functions/shooting/misgendering

Justin it is your birthday: Storyline, Blooper [Character developments] and Action; it is Justin's Birthday and before I continue I would like to state I am not being woke here, it is just more about protecting my posterior for in the future if or when this happens; this is the enormous blooper where; this creation gets misgendered and given the wrong pronouns Alpha 6 says he [in a previous scene he says she] and Dimitria says she. Allow me to highlight again I am not being woke here in fact I don't care about the gender and just to finish this off she identifies as she has she identifies as a lady in a comment. But however all I am trying to do is not be cancelled for not bringing this up, swiftly moving on; Justin is on a runaway bicycle which has been fitted with a explosive device and not forgetting a timer as well

This episode receives: 7/10, this episode is good; it is a solid be good episode, it doesn't do anything wrong, it is just a solidly good episode.

U2: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me 1995 [Music Video] by AverageMansReviews

U2: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me 1995 [Music Video] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/other effects/transformation/hit-and-run

Generally speaking the premise is: simply put first of all is we have this comic book approach with small segments of this film; Batman Forever 1995. But when this music video promoting movie is different is where it overlaps from one world to the other now and again; for an example we have Edward Nygma/Riddler appearing in this music video in animated form and as this project only going on for about 5 minutes the framework and pacing doesn't have any time to waste as it is just a washed of momentum from beginning to end with likewise a visual story to tell with a kick posterior song/track.

Art and action; the band; U2 are in this video in one way or another, yes if you're wondering with the classic comic book strip/frame approach so they went with the authentic comic book experience, with in hindsight I think it is safe to say graphic novel as well as in its artistic visions as in its dark nature and when I say dark nature I mean by its presentation and not its content even though we have a hit-and-run it is tastefully done or as tastefully done as you can do those kind of things.

Character developments: what I found most interesting towards the very closing stages of this music video was/is we see Bono [lead singer and primarily lyricist for the band U2;] doing this Scooby Doo style of reveal to put across is he Bono or is he the devil or is he Batman; I am guessing/speculating here he was maybe trying to indicate; we choose who we show to the rest of the world, it may or may not be who we are inside though; this was just my take away from this turn of events in this music video.

This film receives: 10/10, this is top-notch entertainment; it has so much happening in it; in one way or another that this mark was incredibly easy to give to it and finally it has some awards accredited to it; 1 Winner MTV Video Music Awards (VMA) 1995 VMA International Viewer's Choice: MTV Europe U2 and from the same award ceremony/event just instead 1 Nominee Best Video from a Film U2 Shared with: Batman Forever.

2 years later: briefly; Phil Broker [Jason Statham:] a former DEA Agent just wants a peaceful life and will do anything to keep it peaceful; including but not limited to ignoring what is happening. But when his daughter Maddy Broker [Izabela Vidovic:] she is the daughter of Phil which is very much like father like daughter; it begins this escalation between Phil and Morgan 'Gator' Bodine [James Franco:] a local drug lord which is the top guy, so eventually things get messy between these two.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 100 minutes film is; of this style of action projects where things slowly escalate to begin with and then things get out of hand.

Art and action; with some natural scenery and of this father and daughter on horses and for the action; it is the kind of things that you come to expect shooting, martial arts and kidnapping and boat ride.

Character developments and performances; they are all on both counts solidly good versions of what they are meant to be and they stick to that; Even though for something reason and just to cover my back are I think at some point in the bar; Statham voice gets dubbed-over just when he is on the phone, I have no proof of this other then my hearing is like of a bat and it doesn't lie.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; it is a solidly straightforward action film that if you like Jason Statham or/and Jason Franco take a look at this film. This film has an award accredited to its name of 1 Nominee Golden Trailer Awards 2014 Golden Fleece For the theatrical trailer entitled "House"
