We have to take on this job to protect a secret: briefly; Mr. Wolf [voice by Sam Rockwell:] he is/was the leader of this group of criminals known as "The Bad Guys" but careerwise they have decided to go straight. But when they have no other choice but to undertake this job from Kitty Kat/other name [voice by: Danielle Brooks: she is the leader of "The Bad Girls" that if they don't do this job, she will lift the lid on the secret and another newcomer to this franchise is The Billionare [voice by: Omid Djalili:] he at first victim of the first job of The Bad Guys altogether as a unit many years ago now.

Art, comedy and action; they have a think ever so slightly broadly speaking brighten up their graphic novel approach, don't worry is still get that graphic novel approach, they just have maybe gone smidgen higher so it is ever so slightly less dark; which possibly means when they do something big everything stand out a little bit better with the option of more detail so in a nutshell it flows better at the spectacle, the comedy; also seems to be leaning a little bit more British of course we have breaking the fourth wall, bodily functions and this slight intense buildup/ongoing game of Connect Four: its deliverance throughout is very much in the of Monty Python's and the action; we spent some time in outer-space: The Bad Guys trying to get inside this rocket with Mr. Wolf using Mr. Snake [ voice by: Marc Maron:] he is/was  the second-in-command of "The Bad Guys" but he doesn't seem so grumpy as he is to be and he is being secretive. But for here and now he is being used as wrench, is still can't get it right until  Ms. Tarantula [voice by: Awkwafina:] she is still very highly skilled computer hacker/technical support: until she reminds of this very useful expression, then we have a fantastic use of bodily functions and to finish off: where I said earlier or something to the effect of where things stand out: watch out for this massive upon massive upon masses of gold: without giving too much away but enough to make my points: this sequence is highly detailed and I will be highly disappointed if this sequence of events does not get at minimum some positive nominations for some awards; because it is extremely eye-catching and fantastic to watch as it unfolds as an action sequence as well.

Character developments and voice performances; well as this is a sequel we do get significant character developments from the returning characters and the newbies just slot/gel in perfectly and likewise do their voice performances

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it does everything that a sequel should do; in this case update the computer animation, show and move things along, broaden the roster of characters with maintaining or/and bringing back parts or adapting them for this sequel i.e. comedy or/and action sequences which this sequel does so it isn't a surprise to me then I have actually given the same mark as its previous instalment and yes there are some extra bits and pieces including extra scene

Warning: there will be the usage of censored adult language references in this content, murderer sexual reference.

This is completely normal behaviour... Not!: This is precisely why the wrestling community has to take a lot of manure. Because there is no way in hell Chelsea Green should be receiving death threats, because all she said about Hulk Hogan is essentially the following: putting his political opinions to one side. Yep that is all she said, then she went on to praise his impact within the wrestling business. But because she was honest and classy, I mean I haven't been a Hogan fan for many years now, but as you will see as it relates to the related content iron knowledge both as well and to be brutally honest if you can't handle the fudgin' true you are going to hate what I'm going to say next. As far as I'm concerned Hogan is another wrestler, not in the same league, but lower compared to Chris Benoit that we can talk about the idea and concept of Hulk Hogan and his impact, but Terry Bollea what a complete Dick. Yes at some point or another I did say I would never use Hulk Hogan name again, because I think he was a fraud, but now he is no longer with us, I think the concept of Hulk Hogan even based on a lie should be reserved, because the idea/concept still did so much good as it relates to popular culture in the 1980s and 1990s.

But slightly moving on now to another part of the uncomfortable truth and announcement: the WWE universe seemed to be another false impression that they are the be all and end all of professional wrestling: meaning what they say is the truth and anything other than that is not and their inflated egos to give them selves the right to say whatever they like in any manner they see fit is deluded and wrong, For an example you can't just sweep the last 20 years of Bollea's life under the carpet and just pretend it didn't happen. You see I have also received some backlash for what I have said about this particular passing nowhere near to the level of Green, but then again I have had it for roughly 6 years since the birth of AEW and to be honest I am sick of it and I know I'm not the only one that has had the backlash lately one example Joey Swoll: a gym positive influence that by and large does positive things: has received some backlash for originally being sympathetic to his passing and after receiving some backlash he went and looked up and learnt about Bollea's let's just say more recent history he has since apologised at great length, but seemingly that isn't good enough they want  his blood.

So regardless if it is the WWE universe or wrestling fans broadly speaking or anyone else for that matter; what gives you the right to demand some kind of blood or cancelling another human being for something so small that they have taken the steps to apologise for?

Those of a younger generation you need to understand and get this through your ever so thick heads those of a older generation have done something which you haven't done and that is live an unsterilised life and this is way before covid-19: so what I mean by this point is: you live life, you made mistakes and more or less you can learn from as long as it isn't anything too bad, basically all I'm saying is you pick yourself up, dust yourself off take responsibility for something if you have to and move on, because without trying I could terrify the younger generation, because so far I have lived a life with a colourful history.

Because I know broadly speaking the wrestling online community I am fully aware of you thinking what about Hogan? I don't care if towards the later stages of his life he found God, that does not make up for the rest of the garbage he did I am talking about someone like Swoll does good but then puts a toenail out of line, apologises yet you are still not happy. Which now moves me on to my announcement/warning: from now on if you push me I will happily tell you to fudge off or something to that effect and then leave you to it. For those people that believe I am being immature: on the contrary am sick to death of this manure more to the point being called a sex offender is not something I should have put up with, so I do have a tough skin, but like I said why should I have to put up with this garbage.

 Additional: On Friday 01/08/2025: Swoll posted another video: I am paraphrasing broadly staging: Love me or hate me I am not going aanywhere, I am done with apologising, I just had to take some days of to basically put myself together, in which time I received many upon many messages telling me not to give up and likewise pull myself together.

Calling It Out of: Undertaker Chokeslam the TNA World Championship Trick Williams on NXT 22/07/2025 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be the usage of censored adult language references in this content.

I know I am a week behind: but I have to call out this absolute garbage, but then again I did say online it was/is a great metaphor/What I should have said was symbolism [because metaphor roughly speaking is verbal and/or symbolism or/symbolic is an object or action apologies for that] for the business relationship between WWE or/and NXT and TNA. I mean what I have seen online I am just going to say it as it is; it really does look like TNA are just WWE/NXT's little female doggies or have I missed something here? Because yet again let's be completely honest without the WWE's umbrella and global audience TNA would be struggling, but then again at what cost? Because as I am sitting here they have successfully made the TNA rosters look incredibly weak and even I know as someone said doesn't watch this promotion knows that there female's rosters be it individually or tag divisions are literally the be all and end all of women's wrestling and it has been that way for at minimum 20 years or more.

But what do you expect, when you make a deal with the devil? For its right hand man to come out and squash you [regardless if Trick Williams is actually a WWE/NXT guy/talent,] so I hope the TNA are happy with selling all of their short, because even if at some point in the future they flip the script and have the TNA talent go over/winning their championship's back, the longer you have the TNA talent getting buried six-foot under, that is going to be the lasting memory that everyone is going to remember for years to come and finally for those that have said this is the Undertaker giving Williams the rub [this is a wrestling terminology that means: basically to work with an individual, basically to endorse them.] But I digress: how is this considered to be a rub? I mean I get it working angle and all of that, but when you squash the talent which you're trying to put over it is counter-productive... No? Yes I know the Undertaker also gave Je'Von Evans the rub in a talking segment as well, this was so much more productive.

Smurfs 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Smurfs 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/torture/burning/electrocution

Let's get go and get him back: briefly; Papa Smurf [voiced by: John Goodman:] he is the leader of the Smurfs; as he gets smurfnappt by Gargamel [voiced by JP Karliak and voice of another character:] he is an evil wizard that has had this long-term battle with the Smurfs, he has a cat called Azrael [voiced by: Rachel Butera and she voices another character:] he is a ginger cat. So some of these Smurfs are going on this adventure; for one example Smurfette [voiced by/singing by: Rhianna:] she is the only female Smurf as she was created by and a disciple of Gargamel.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 89 minutes film is... Well something safe and reliable broadly speaking even though they wrapped it around a good script idea, I mean if there was to be a sequel they could really do with exploring what it is to be a Smurf and its true potential as we get to experience some of that which is lots more fun [which will be reflected in my marking of this project,] consequently the framework and pacing; for a little while I was struggling to keep awake if the truth was known, but when this project starts to warm up and progressively get quicker and quicker until it runs free with its strongest assets attributes on the table.

Art, action and comedy: straight off the bat the art ranges from frightening to sublime and everything else in the middle; frightening: being there is a musical number/dance thing in the opening section of this film with all of these Smurf's and they have these lifeless eyes everything else is moving apart from their eyes [or just to cover my back I am going to say occasional] it is just really off-putting and very weird. Sublime: without giving too much away we have these multiple dimensions with their own artistic visions such as for an example anime with this chaotic action sequence simultaneously taking place as well; this animated project does much better when it leans hard on to the mystical side of the Smurf's; because then it is then dictating what is possible, because anything in the world can be possible; along with some adult references; such as the word Smurf could mean absolutely anything and it is a good thing that we have a Smurf that has the ability to cover up some colourful language with bleeps; so this is very much designed for a category of ages ranging from about 7 years old to 18+: it just depends if you're going to go with the flow or be a stick in the mud really?

Character developments and voice performances; on both counts they are very much a paint by numbers affair, I don't have much more to say then that really, they are what they are.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; okay there are some things that I needed to take off a bit more as I have already discussed in this content, but then again I don't know what people were expecting; meaning it is a Smurfs film projects so you know we can all have differences of opinions but at the end of the day it is still a Smurf's projects. This does have some extra bits and pieces in the closing credits at some point and yes as of this content being first created it does have an award nominee to its name; 1 Nominee Kids' Choice Awards, USA 2025 Blimp Award Favorite Song From A Movie Tyran Smith Shabz DJ Khaled (featuring artist) Cardi B (featuring artist) Natania Lalwani (featuring artist)Subhi (featuring artist) For "Higher Love"

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/cutting/child abuse/decomposing/torture/vehicle crash/disfigurement/bodily functions/medical/reference to terrorism

Maybe the last adventure: briefly; The Goonies are a group of kids from this community; their leader is Michael "Mikey" Walsh [Sean Astin:] he is an asthmatic that comes up with the idea to save their home/community that The Goonies would go and search for One-Eye Willy's treasure, alongside the oldest member of The Goonies and is older brother Brandon "Brand" Walsh [Josh Brolin:] he is in high school and the athletic member of The Goonies; The Goonies have just about one day to achieve this before they lose everything that is important to them.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 114 minutes film is good; it clear I know is what it wants to do and just get on with it really

Comedy, action and art; well this is one of those occasions where I just have to say; as it is; it makes being overweight one of its legacy moments; known as The Truffle Shuffle as performed by Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen [Jeff Cohen:] he is a chunky member of The Goonies: that likes his food and in fact he can smell it out as well: by the way a quick description of this dance move is where; he lives up his top and shakes his tummy,  Clark "Mouth" Devereaux [Cory Freeman:] he is the mouthy one of the group and as you will see he can also speak Spanish, in one sequence he gives the wrong interpretation on purpose, as it relates to the action sequences the majority of  The Goonies strapping Brand to this chair, using this old-style of strict weight/resistance so here it acts like a rope and finally we have Richard "Data" Wang [Ke Huy Quan:] he is an inventor/gadget guy on The Goonies: let's just say some of the gadgets are broadly speaking a hit or miss throughout this adventure: such as these slippery heel shoes as they make the ground slightly behind him with works or then this boxing glove that works or you get hit in the face by it. The art as it relates to these booby-traps have been excellently thought through such as for this morning referenced because I don't want to give too much away this beautifully constructed piano concept with deadly consequences if you should fail, but on top of that from beginning to end we have little bits to see and to experience.

Character developments and performances; as you may have guess by now this film uses a simple yet, in-depth character types designation style of character developments and this goes for the entire cast including the ones I haven't referenced and because of this; you can also merge the coming-of-age style of character developments as well: so from an overview perspective in one day these children/teenagers are richer for this experience; the cast of performances are founded upon chemistry or/dynamic on some level or another; so based on all this and decided to award another mark to this title.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; it most definitely deserves to be seen once in your lifetime, I mean I hadn't seen it all the way through until today [Sunday,] when I had the opportunity to go and see this film at the cinema for its 40th anniversary, with the person I watch some of this content with. This film also has some wards accredited to its name such as 4 Winners the includes but not limited to National Film Preservation Board, USA 2017 and 7 Nominees which also includes but not limited to Young Artist Awards 1986 Young Artist Award Exceptional Performance by a Young Actress - Motion Picture Martha Plimpton as  Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner: she is a young lady that can handle herself, as she and Kerri Green as Andrea Theresa "Andy" Carmichael: she is a warm and a well rounded person that happens to be a cheerleader as well: these two women are best friends that join The Goonies in this adventure.

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/domestic violence/mental health/self harm/suicide/vehicle crashing/animal cruelty/drugs/squashing/hit and run/medical.

The heat is on: basically; because the first heist didn't go according to plan; there leader of this unit Neil McCauley [Robert De Niro:] this expert career criminal is the best of what he does; one of the members of his unit is Chris Shiherlis [Val Kilmer:] he is an excellent marksman and other physical things, but he does have a gaming problem and a troubled marriage. But McCauley finds himself mentally jousting with Lieutenant Vincent Hanna [Al Pacino:] he works for the LAPD Homicide; he eats, sleeps and then brings the job/hunt, he also has a step-daughter Lauren Gustafson [Natalie Portman:] she has mental health issues.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 170 minutes film is good and no 170 minutes is not in spoken figure and word.

Character developments and performances; the character developments are solid yet fully rounded versions of what they are meant to be; but let's be completely honest here this film success is massively down to the assembling of this cast; this is one of those films that on one hand tells me I am getting old, while on the other hand I have been content creating for a long time now as I may not know all of their names but I can tell me where I have seen from and no I'm not going to do everybody, but enough to show you the names of this cast. Jon Voight as Nate [latest film role Megalopolis 2024,] Dennis Haysbert as Don Breedan and Xander Berkeley as Ralph [synonymous with the US TV program 24,] Ted Levine as Detective Mike Bosko [a main role on the US TV program Monk,] Mykelti Williamson as Sergeant Bobby Drucker and Danny Trejo as Gilbert Trejo [from the film Con Air 1997] and Diane Venora as Justine Hanna [The Jackal 1997.]

So as you can clearly see including the other names I have already mentioned and the others that I haven't; this cast has lots of depth and not forgetting that little detail of being led by De Niro and Pacino is massive; if you don't know yes I can reassure you that we have this iconic and cinematic scene of just these two heavyweights of the film industry just talking about things in a place that serves coffee and just to make sure I went and did a little bit of research this was the first film they did together and I remember back in the day of the buzz that this created of these two going face-to-face it was huge. So everyone in this cast; regardless of size of role; brings something positive to the proceedings of this long film.

Action; they very much follow the criminal heist routine on all levels, I am not disrespecting, I'm saying if it looks like and communicates like an elephant then my friend you have an elephant; but they are high octane action nonetheless.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; if you have an afternoon/night spare then this film is one of those that need to see once in your lifetime and in; this film is one of those moments in time where, you had all these performers in one location working on one project together. This film has some awards accredited to its name; 15 Nominees which includes Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1996 Saturn Award Best Action/Adventure Film and Best Supporting Actor Val Kilmer. Chicago Film Critics Association Awards CFCA Award Best Supporting Actress Diane Venora as Justine Hanna: Vincent's long suffering wife which she happens to be his third wife and mother to Lauren Gustafson. YoungStar Awards 1997 YoungStar Award Best Performance by a Young Actress in a Drama Film Natalie Portman

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/animal cruelty/cutting/bodily functions/vehicle hit/vehicle crash/medical/references to drugs, immigration and human trafficking

Get me The Accountant: briefly; Treasury Analyst Marybeth Medina [Cynthia Addai-Robinson] she is the Deputy Director of the Treasury Department's FinCEN and she gets a message from beyond the grave that on this case you will need the assistance of Christian "Chris" Wolff [Ben Affleck:] he is someone that has neurologically or personality disorder, that is a cleaner: in short in this context: it is somebody that you go to; to clean up the situation in one way or another. But Chris calls upon his estranged brother Braxton [Jon Bernthal:] he is a professional hitman, what is the difference roughly between these two professions: one is much more clinical as they would make sure that everything is done as cleanly as possible without leaving a mess, whilst the other is if they are clean, that is good business, but as you will see in this project sometimes they are messy or/and clumsy; so this trio are hopefully going to resolve this case.

Generally speaking: the script is really elongated which can easily be spotted in these two long comedy sequences; the first is speed dating and the second is line dancing [I will discuss these again in this content,] but then again there is much of a script as the person that I watch some of this content with and I spoke about that they pointed out first; that there really isn't much of a script here. So the cynic in me would suggest that these two lengthy comedy sequences are perhaps used as filler? Because they could have easily knocked off 20 minutes of this 132 minutes film, to give this film some very much needed get up and go, because minus the closing section of this title, for the vast majority of the time it moves as energetically as a snail.

Comedy and action; Christine tries to break this speed dating algorithm and later on he tries to learn line dancing, with eventual punch-up, but he isn't the only one that has issues Braxton: tries to have a peaceful conversation with someone, but she is terrified of him, accidentally punches this individual and sent him flying to the ground below, when they really needed to keep the person alive for information gathering and later on I am paraphrasing here but essentially the sentiment is the same; he indicates that this individual did not kill these people in these photographs, because he did, but in the final section of this film there is this really belong guns blazing action sequence which is good fun.

Character developments, comedy, performances, and voice performances; I mean these character developments are a mixture between, okay that was shoehorned in; be it the brothers connection or this mystery assailant and how it gets unravelled, I mean having said that the character developments between these two brothers works as Braxton goes out of his way to somewhat irritate his brother Christian as it relates to repeating everything he says in a very annoying voice or/and throw away his suntan lotion when he is using it. What can I say here? Well because of their character developments and not forgetting the script, framework and pacing and so on. These character developments they do look and feel as if they are solidly  good versions of what they are meant to be, but in a nutshell because of whatever reason this film is really slow, so as it relates to the character developments and/or performances if this is what they were going for they struck gold, don't get me wrong they did their job, but it was predominantly lacklustre; minus Daniella Pineda as Anaïs: her history is clouded in mystery so I can't say too much more: but as a performance she excelled in what she was given to work with and should be very happy and walk away from this project will her head held high, even though this is not her fault but her character developments were/are very much shoehorned in , but they still had to carry this project on their backs as well and the voice performers is all good.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; I think I have made my opinions quite clear on this project at this point, but seriously what was the point of this sequel? I am just hoping that they don't come out with another instalment just to say that they got a trilogy out of this... Oh I have just found out they would like to make a trilogy... Great!: but having said that it also has some awards accredited to its name such as 1 Winner which is SXSW Film Festival 2025 Audience Award Headliner Gavin O'Connor (director) Ben Affleck (producer) Lynette Howell Taylor (producer) Mark Williams (producer) Bill Dubuque (writer) and 3 Nominees which includes but not limited to Golden Trailer Awards 2025 Golden Trailer Award Best Action Trailer

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 101 minutes film is excellent; based on yes to begin with we have the repetitive aspect which is obvious based on what this film is about, but then it says that is enough and doesn't always restart the day again from scratch, so when it does it still have that audience onside factor instead of potentially the audience becoming tired and/or turning against the film; so variety here is key and also where it picks things up from is nice and smooth.

Comedy and art; there is a good variety between destroying than an alarm clock to a dark nature involving a groundhog and everything in between, so there is always something going on and including the repetitive yet the potential different way of dealing with things and we have Connors/Murray playing the piano which is all good

Character developments and performances; these character developments are on a top level good versions of what they are meant to be which in this case is of a community in this location, but underneath we have the character developments based on Connors' decisions meaning whatever decision he makes basically and broadly speaking there have possibly change someone else's decision on that day/for that day if they interacted with him; so the character developments on bigger picture perspective are excellent and well thought out. I have to say that, I have to put this down as a class performance with excellent chemistry with though with the willingness to repeat themselves time after time after time; this is a very lively and committed cast of character and performers. Obviously Murray and MacDowell; lead this cast with very free-flowing and articulate chemistry; I as we have Connors/Murray going through this situation repeatedly with him trying to explain that in his own unique enthusiastic manner, Hanson/MacDowell to be the logical listening one that provides to be the anchor whilst Connors/Murray is going off the deep end; in 1994 these performers should have been out for more Awards than what this title has gone; this is a very strong dynamic that has been designed here that feels spot on and incredibly natural.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; this is one of those films that you need to see it in this once in a lifetime and after everything is said and done I have decided to award in total two extra marks; this film also has some awards to its name such as 7 Winners that includes BAFTA Awards BAFTA Film Award Best Screenplay - Original Danny Rubin Harold Ramis Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1994 Saturn Award  Best Actress Andie MacDowell. 17 Nominees that includes American Comedy Awards, USA 1994 American Comedy Award Funniest Actor in a Motion Picture (Leading Role) Bill Murray from the same award ceremony/event Funniest Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Chris Elliott

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

Let's start here: string of bat can this week to end already because it has been fudge ugly: as I said or made reference to in the related content Okay, okay Mr. Grim Reaper, can you just give it a break or you know go for someone that deserves their lights switched off. Look I am not going to sit here and tell you that Bollea was this fantastic human being, because easily over the past 20 years [I would say roughly around the time of his TV program Hogan knows Best in 2005-2007; before then if you were from my generation of the 1980s, you know he wasn't exactly crystal clean, back when you could try and hide things, but after this TV program, it pretty much showed a different side and confirmed that; he is and was just a showman] after that he has slowly but surely been taking giant swings to desecrate his own legacy and personally I think back then, in his global dominance and even though he has passed on: he is still in my eyes a carnie fraud and that will never change.

But however let's take a brief look at his wrestling career: his impact not only on wrestling, but also bringing wrestling into the mainstream beside another a carnie fraud and cockroach in Mr. Vince McMahon in 1979-1981, 1983-1993: where they began to lay the groundwork for the future and all of its pitfalls that all wrestlers enjoy today or/subjects to those pitfalls; such as for one example the laughable fudgin' phrasing of "independent contractors."

1994 which as if you are into wrestling at this time this began the Monday Night Wars and went head-to-head with the WWF for one example; they would give results of the WWF content away, for those younger generations yes they really did this on WCW content, so you didn't have to do turn the channel or watch WWF pay-per-view.

1996-1999, 2000 and 2001 Bollea re-galvanises his career and yet again pushes the wrestling industry to even newer heights alongside Eric Bischoff; Bollea goes from the yellow and red; take your vitamins and say your prayers to in 1996 black and white NWO 4-Life and went head-to-head with the WWF/now WWE, but slowly but surely the wheels came off and in 2001 WCW closed down and got purchased by WWF 2001

TNA 2010-2014 for some strange reason Dixie Carter brought in Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff; to go in direct competition with the WWE and in summary as you would expect; the wheels came off yet again, I remember thinking at the time if you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it, as from another view prospective the damage that was done in these four years to this promotion double that amount of time to come back from almost having to shut down to now being back on course over these more recent times as it relates to years.

Other bits and pieces; Bollea in his younger days has wrestled for NJPW and other promotions and many runs with the WWF/WWE including a Legends contract.

How will Bollea be remembered?: Well the first thing is; the last time we physically saw him was as one of the connecting content: was Monday 06/01/2025 and let's just say it didn't go too well: but on one hand he will/should be remembered for bringing wrestling out from the shadows into the light As a two-time WWE Hall of Famer individually 2005 and then againAs a member of the NWO: Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall [1958-2022 aged 63] And Kevin Nash [as of this content being first created; this is incredibly sad as he is now the last living original founding member still be alive; my thoughts go out to you Nash] in 2021, but on the other hand it is very hard to overlook all of the negative things he has done and as I make reference to in one of these connected content was any of it real? So without being too harsh but also harsh enough; it is difficult to hold him in a higher regard or another way of putting it is: RIP Terry Bollea a.k.a. Hulk Hogan 1953-2025 we hardly knew thee. But slightly away from him I would like to send my condolences to his family, friends and anyone connected to this very difficult situation at this time.

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/disintegrating/robotics/burning/suicide/medical

There is this entity heading to Earth: briefly; seemingly there was only one high-ranking individual that could handle this mission; Adml James T. Kirk [William Shatner:] he is an Admiral for Starfleet Command/Captain of the Enterprise NCC-1701: he and his crew only have days to go out into outer space and confront this entity, before it is too late.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this movie is okay as it relates to the script for its first big-screen adventure, but man, Oh man this project could have done with even some bits of the script taken out or/and this film could have done with so much more get up and go to it as things are it is roughly 132 minutes long and now and again until roughly the final section, does this film blow cold to lukewarm at best and then in the final section, it finally gets some very much needed get up and go to it: Let's be honest it's a good thing that this film has the luxury of the chemistry of this cast to carry this film.

Action and art; I am/was delighted that the Klingons got a small sequence in this movie strayed off the bad as well; with the usage of: yes I had to look this up of: K't'inga-class a stronger versions of the classic D-7: but having said that they did get their posterior handed to them by this entity; this sequence looks fantastic fun, but for the rest of the artistic outlay; it is obvious what I'm going to say here, it is truly mesmerising as they did everything possible be it the rest of the action sequences or/and the second designs and etc. I really do miss this kind of artistic visions, because I get why everything or mostly everything is being replaced by computer technology in some form or another, but consequently you can't replace hand/raft putting these set designs or/and etc together: because consequently, by doing this; this way you can achieve this really authentic look and feel, which in turn also gives you this less clutter more realism approach and I don't really need to specifically point out anything; because throughout your journey watching this film is incredibly clear to see the hard work and effort to bring this franchise to the big screen for the first time in its history and briefly on to the green-screen effects, now I don't know if it is because I have been around this kind of thing for long enough as it relates to films or/and TV programs, but providing at the time they were of them being used; they were of a high standard, it seems to age a lot less quicker, though they were wrong you can see them sometimes quite clearly depends on or project you are watching, but from a concept and execution/outlay idea; they are holding up to an excellent standard.

Character developments, performances and comedy; on both counts they are all good; I would without a shadow of doubt say that the character developments follow this simple outlay with new or/and established characters as a free-flowing cast really do a good job keeping this film going every step of the way, I hasten to add there are some sections of this film better than others, but broadly speaking my hat goes off to them; for consistently put in this film on their backs and trying to generate some form of the impetus and yes now and again there are some bits and pieces of comedy in the dialogue exchanges.

This film receives: 8/10, this film is excellent; I know, I know this marking is going to need some explaining, look the biggest problem that this film has is it is way, way too long for what it actually is as it relates to the script, as I have already indicated. But when it actually decides to be a Star Trek movie with some very much needed gusto and everything else on top including but not limited to recognisable characters and their performers which have gone on to become legendary characters and likewise performances then you can see why I came up with this mark and a full disclosure it would help if you like this franchise which I do to sit through this 132 minutes film. This film also has some awards accredited to its name; 4 Winners such as but not limited to Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA 1980  Saturn Award Best Special Effects Douglas Trumbull John Dykstra Richard Yuricich. 20 Nominees would also include but not limited to Academy Awards, USA 1980 Oscar Best Art Direction-Set Decoration Harold Michelson Joseph R. Jennings Leon HarrisJohn Vallone Linda DeScenna [altogether: 3 Oscar Nominees:] but sadly these awards are not all positive ones The Stinkers Bad Movie Awards 1979 Stinker Award Worst Picture Gene Roddenberry (producer)

Reactionary To The Wrestling News of: WWE Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be censored adult language references at some point in this content and a reference to a convicted sex offender.

First place to start: Okay, okay Mr. Grim Reaper can you slow down a bit on calling people's time is up, obviously I mean this in a nice way I can't keep up a couple of days ago now it was Malcolm-Jamal Warner from The Cosby Show as Theodore "Theo" Huxtable and Malcolm & Eddie as Malcolm McGee: RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner: 1970-2025 aged 54: your cultural impact will never be forgotten for the lead generations in TV land many decades ago it goes Gary Coleman as Arnold Jackson in  Diff'rent Strokes 1978 -1986, The Cosby Show 1984-1992, Will Smith as William "Will" Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air 1990-1996, the Wayans brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans as their self titled characters The Wayans Bros 1995-1999, Damon Wayans as  Michael Richard Kyle Sr. in My Wife and Kids 2001-2005: yes the Wayans are related in this content as yes they are a dynastie and Anthony Anderson as Andre "Dre" Johnson Sr. in Black-ish 2014-2022 [this in itself has multiple spin-offs such as one example Yara Shahidi as in Grown-ish Grown-ish 2018-2024: so broadly speaking this has been a look back over the progressive development of Black history well as it relates to TV and consequently each step of modern culture at their times and I know a few weeks ago it was other actors that passed on as well.

But as I was saying could you Mr. Reaper just slow down a bit, because these are all good people, I mean if you want to take somebody: take Gary Glitter [ for those people that are now getting offended, by what I have just said: before you type angry I should make you aware of some things; yes he is a music star, but his music career is being overshadowed by one massive point; that he is a convicted how can I put this nicely... Underage sex offender, so in essence he is a cockroach on the bottom of your shoe.]

Ozzy Osbourne RIP: well this is a very sad day indeed, Ozzy has always been one of those people where when he did pass on the world was going to be a little bit darker, because even though he had his problems; throughout the vast majority of his life, he had a bright shining gift to share with the world and boy did he is share it, alongside Black Sabbath they changed the world; with their very distinctive sound of sometimes foreboding beats, heavy riffs and Ozzy's excellent range of vocals sometimes loud and masterful or sometimes quieter and vulnerable and everything in between.

Or Ozzy being as a solo artist; and having the ability to transfer into that field as well and to show that he could do this with likewise phenomenal success and not only that he could also diversify into popular culture as well; be it his association with the WWF/WWE were he is a member of the Hall of Fame inducted into it: the class of 2021 & Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: 2006 with Black Sabbath in 2006 and then again as a solo artist in 2024 and how could anyone forget his reality TV program with the vast majority of the Osbourne family: entitled The Osbournes 2002-2005 and I have just found out The Osbournes Want to Believe 2020 and his various bits of other work such as for one example the film appearance as himself in Little Nicky 2000: yes for those spiteful people that are desperate to probably point this out: he would have been lost without his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne: which they were partners for life and if there is one lesson to be learnt from Ozzy, it would be this: never forget where you come from, yes absolutely you could become a multi-millionaire/billionaire, but he will always be that enthusiastic hard-working guy from Marston Green/Aston/Birmingham, England UK.

If there is a very thin silver lining to this absolute fudgin' garbage turning of events; the least Ozzy got to perform with Black Sabbath for the very last time [now and again the more recent times they would come back together again] in Birmingham as the final show, with Kelly Osbourne getting engaged to DJ Starscream a.k.a. Slipknot member #0/Sid Wilson and Ozzy is now reunited with Randy Rhoads 1956-1982.

I would like to send my condolences to Sharon, Kelly, Jack and anyone else connected to this difficult time in their lives: so sadly it leaves me with one thing to say RIP The Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne 1948-2025: aged 76, you may be gone, but one thing is for fudgin' damn sure you will never, ever be forgotten.

Average Extra of: Jennifer Love Hewitt Getting Body Shamed: I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Average Extra of: Jennifer Love Hewitt Getting Body Shamed: I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 by AverageMansReviews

Warning: there will be a lot of censored adult language references and I will warning right here and right now that this content is going to be real as in I am not going to pull my punches.

Real Talking Time:

This is horse manure: there is nothing wrong with Love Hewitt: I know, I know most of the younger generations can't recognise what a real woman looks like these days, so let me educate you, this is what a real woman looks like heading towards middle age, without of what I can see too many enhancements or/and alterations; she may do the standard hair dying and those kind of things, but other than that; she has an full body figure with boobies that most would die for and she gets them for free.

So as I see it let's talk about the real fudgin' issues shall we?; The facts are as of this content being first created; she is 46 years old, with her husband and three children and more or less as consistently worked throughout her career. But she had the audacity to get older, I mean how dare she get older?... And on top of that do it gracefully... I mean she should be imprisoned for 25 years, for being normal... I mean somebody think of the children? It sets a bad president for the future generations to show them you can still be attractive at 46 years old without major alterations ... and yes if you haven't guessed I am being sarcastic/facetious.

But what really must be annoying to you coockwombles be any gender is the fact that if she wasn't married and probably happily married, she would have no problems finding someone else and having lots of sexual intercourse, I mean if she isn't already... I mean it must be so annoying to you younger generations to see a 46-year-old woman still turn heads and been sexually desired and especially with her seemingly being happy with her figure, that must make you sick to your stomach, that how she conducts herself being pleasant and beautiful, whilst the vast majority of you are highly toxic with your vain preconceptions of looks, your high demands of unnecessary criteria: such as must be over 6 foot in height, must have a well paid job and a big anatomy when she is just living her life, but when you do criticise someone for being heavily overweight, they are a protected species, where we have people saying you can’t say that, because there is body shaming, I should know what I’m talking about here, I have been fighting waistline war for most of my life, as someone in a wheelchair, it took me many years to realise that I am okay, I am always going to be somewhat bulky, but that doesn’t mean I can’t watch my weight and now and again slimmed down or try to, but I see these people going into the cinema having this massive size of popcorn, other food with a Diet Coke, they get a protective shield high against, because everyone knows you can’t say anything.

But I digress: so if you haven't got the subtle message yet; this isn't about Love Hewitt and it never was; it is so much more to do with the fact of where we are as a society right now and heading; that on one hand we can for some fudgin' follow, idolise and respect such people as President Donald Trump [an insurrectionist, convicted felon including but not limited to a sex offender also alleged underage sex offender,] Bonnie Blue [as of this content: is 26 years old and has slept with well over four digits of partners, which I think we can all assume that there is no trade left on that tyre: but looks like the daughter of Skeletor,] the Tate brothers: Andrew & Tristan, Pam Anderson [the reason why she is being mentioned is because I found it incredibly hypocritical that for over 4 decades of her career she did everything to make money off her body and now she is doing this whole natural look thing and getting high praise for it... that if you cannot see the hypocritical prospective that is your problem and not mine] and this whole entire fudgin' cancel culture/shaming thing broadly speaking; whilst on the other hand we cannot let a 46-year-old woman just be in that moment of her life.

Are you worried about trashing the modern culture? Not in the slightest, look I've spent most of my life on my own, not by choice and as of this content I have spent 17 years completely single; within that time I have had it thrown in my face at one point or another; ranging from not being over 6 foot regardless of being in a wheelchair [so for those simple minds that cannot understand this indication: it doesn't matter about my height, because I will still be sitting down,] from having small genitals to only sleeping with one person roughly and whilst on the subject briefly: I wish women would understand that it is so much more hard to get sexual intercourse then women, to being shamed that I am open to any age between 18 to anything, I am of this content 42 years old, but when the shoe is on the other foot for an example Charlize Theron [as of this content she is 49 years old] as she has freely admitted she likes sleeping with 26-year-old men: this is seemingly absolutely fudgin' fine, I am not the best looking guy, I am not looking for anyone at the moment, but mysteriously this woman will find someone within two weeks, having my disability or/and mental illness thrown in my face: basically in short throughout my life and just not the last 17 years I have heard it all and I know I will probably never be in a relationship ever again, including women telling me that the only way you're going to get it ever again is if you pay for it. So to sum up this content no I am not afraid of what I have said here and hopefully Love Hewitt doesn't or hasn't or including has good people around her not to read or listen to this garbage online.

The Negotiator 1998 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/burning/medical

On the brink of losing everything: briefly; a suspended Chicago Police Lieutenant Danny Roman [Samuel L. Jackson:] he is a hard-working individual that deal with hostage negotiations as well, but unfortunately he is squarely in the frame for a crime he didn't commit, but having said there is a lot of evidence to indicate on the contrary, so as a last resort he takes over this building/office in Internal Affairs that are currently dealing with his case and as you can imagine this situation very quickly escalates, to the point where Lieutenant Roman: call upon  Chicago Police Lieutenant Chris Sabian [Kevin Spacey:] he is another highly skilled officer which likewise it is one of the best negotiators around, they have little bit of history of knowing each other, that hopefully will do right by each other.

Generally speaking: the script, character developments: full disclosure; I watched this film from TV and I have seen this film at least twice from the top of my head, I didn’t realise it was one so I missed a little bit at the beginning of the film in its rolling opening; where it basically depicts the background of these characters and their rise that kind of thing: the framework and pacing of this 139 minutes film is good, but having said that it does take a little while for this project to warm up

Action and art: for a limited situation action film; this film does good, for one example; in a nutshell; we have this unit laying siege to the hopefully bring this situation to a close [on a quick side note I should point out: it was not authorised by Lieutenant Sabian:] but they underestimate Lieutenant Roman, as he is extremely on the ball and things get messy, it won't be for the last time in this film, all of the action and the execution of these action sequences are reliably good

Character developments, performances and comedy; the character developments follow the reliable investigation/suspect outlay, with a cast of performances which perform the character types excellent way, with masterful performances from Jackson and/or Spacey: as one knows full well he didn't do what he is being accused of, whilst the other really doesn't want this blemish on his record; with both knowing the rules of engagement as it relates to being a negotiator; individually or together Jackson or/and Spacey make this film and consequently their performances their very own as say without one or both of them; this film would have lost all of its potency, I'm not taking anything away from the surrounding cast; but Jackson or/and Spacey: are individually or together the driving force behind the projects and they are a level above everyone everyone else and at minimum they should have been given positive nominees for something or the effects of on-screen pairing category awards, we do have a little bit of comedy sprinkled in and throw this project from different characters such as once again for one example; Paul Giamatti as Rudy Timmons: is one of the hostages of this situation, broadly speaking he is one of those people that comes across as if he can get away with something he will or most definitely try, he is also mouthy which does irritate people as you will see, but he is also very good on a computer.

This film receives: 9/10, this film is excellent; this film if you have never seen it should most definitely be seen once-in-a-lifetime; for it is excellent usage of for the vast majority of this project it takes place dealing with this situation and the outlay because of it, with an excellent assembled cast with as I have already indicated Jackson and Spacey going head to head or/and working together. This film also has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners that include but not limited to Acapulco Black Film Festival 1999 Black Film Award Best Film and 7 Nominees also including but not limited to from the same award ceremony/event Black Film Award Best Actor Samuel L. Jackson.
