Mighty Morphin Power Rangers [Season 1,] Episode 35: The Green Candle: Part II by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this is another episode which is top-notch entertainment

5 things about this episode

Storyline: the storyline is excellent, it just continues where the previous episode finished, yes over recent episodes I have begun to use the word narrative as it relates to the storyline [when it is appropriate,] but in this case it would be easier for me to just say, we have different numbers of characters/performers all over the place dealing with two main points and that is all I'm going to say about that and without giving too much away this is just a heads up for you parents out there is a section of this episode where a passing of the torch needs to happen, but your children may find this situation difficult to watch or understand [I don't know, it is just a heads up.]

Comedy level/Character developments: Bulk asks Skull to give him a hand up this hill, so he does with this pushing approach. Moving on to the character developments, as it relates to the chemistry or friction [I'm pretty sure I haven't really discussed the friction at all or not enough, I am not going to go back and check, but whatever the case may be I apologize.] But the chemistry or friction in this episode, shows that The Power Rangers are a tight group including Zordon & Alpha 5 or Goldar saying some things to Jason as Zack is here to get Jason out of the Dimensional Prison or Secret Dimension and through everything that Tommy has been through in the last episode and this one, he finds the courage to ask Kimberly a very important question.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: on both counts I will discuss this one point Tommy/The Green Power Ranger goes aboard [sits in the cockpit of the Dragonzord] and for a moment the viewers get to see from his perspective.

This episode receives: 10/10, this episode is full on with a strong identity of what it wants to do, with creativity and imagination behind it as well, with evolutional character developments [meaning this feels like an end of a chapter in the beginning of a new chapter for these characters.] RIP Robert Axelrod [on a quick research he has done many things with his career, but like the other performers that are no longer here as well yours and their memories will live on in this franchise "May the power protect you all"

Eye For An Eye 2019 [alternative name The Poison Rose] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is poor

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

The background music is something you will quickly and clearly pick up on and the movement of this project is incredibly slow, I mean if this was meant to set the tone of this title all it did was bore me, it needs the speed of Usain Bolt in front of it with a harness on so he can use his speed to pull this film along and give it some life and briefly because I will be discussing this in the next section as well there is a consistent usage of the voice-over elements from our lead character/performer.

Storyline/Back storys: I don't know what to say about this storyline really, because of what I have just said about this project already in this review, it makes the storyline tiresome and disinteresting. Moving on to the back storys, firstly we get told about our lead character/performer with voice-over elements about him from him and a little while later him and his relationship with another character with some mental imagery, secondly, we get told about these characters/performers when they are on screen via voice-over elements from our lead character/performer.

Action sequences/Artistic visions/Comedy level: there are weapons being used, combat, chasing. The only action sequence which caught my interest was where this College Football/NFL equipment was used to offer our lead character/lead performer some cover. [I have been looking at pictures trying to find this equipment's name, but I have been unsuccessful; so here is a very quick description you have the top half of these American Footballer standing in a line on this metal or metal substance with it being connected to another piece of metal with wheels on [I should just point out to cover my back I am guessing about the wheels/having an educated guess meaning how would it move if it didn't have some kind of wheels on it, but then again I could be wrong.] But as it relates to this project as I have already said they are giving our lead character/performer some cover from oncoming fire.

Artistic visions; there is singing and singing and playing guitar in another scene and we have our lead character/performer and a supporting character/performer dancing onto the comedy level, here are three points for you to look/here out for our lead character/performer jumps off this high up location and this other character/performer passes gas and our lead character/performer throws this American football into a character/performer's face [this also belongs to an action sequence as well, but it feels more at home here.]

Character developments/Performances: these character developments are something safe and reliable, the performances; now I don't mean to sound like a broken down old record, but because of the movement and the slowness of this project, it makes these performances feel really stretched out as if there is no chemistry or friction or if there is you see it but don't feel it or towards the later stages of this project there is chemistry or friction between a small number of characters/performers [depending where you are; is depending what you get,] but at this point it is something that does its job as chemistry or friction goes, I mean it won't wake you up if you have fallen asleep at this time during this project, but I'm just saying there is a little something there towards the later stages of this title.

This film receives: 2/10, there are only two reasons why I would watch this project again; number one I have somehow lost this review and number two if I was on a date and the person wanted to watch this project but that would be it.

Girl, Interrupted 1999/2000 by AverageMansReviews

Girl, Interrupted 1999/2000 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is excellent

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used, but possibly and interpretation by the character that said it I don't know, time jumps and place jumps.

The background music is just there doing it's thing, the movement of this project is to begin with a slow burner, I mean it isn't the most quickest of films, but it seems to settle down and find its rhythm when a supporting character/performer enters this project, on reflection the time jumps and place jumps of our lead character/performer's back story has an effect on this project, don't get me wrong I understand and I get its purpose, but it has just come to me that if you add this supporting character/performer and this film rotating forward in one way or another it feels much more settled, as if it does okay for going backwards and forwards, but it feels more settled moving forward from where we are [the present to the future with a flow.]

Storyline/back storys: this storyline is based on real life events, the viewers get shown [by mental imagery of our lead character/performer's background] and told by some other characters; other characters back stories, these are good

Artistic visions/Comedy level: there is this cat which I like and we have our main character/performer and supporting character/performer singing and playing instruments. The comedy level I will be discussing this in the next paragraph but for now; for one example without giving too much away these characters/performers go out for some ice cream and because our lead character/performer gets put in a difficult situation, the supporting character/performer doesn't take too kindly to this and consequently the group act up [minus one character/performer.]

Character developments/Performances: the character developments from an overview perspective are split down into these three groups; Patients, Doctors, Nurses & Orderlies and then there is everyone else outside of this environment. Now the reason why I wanted to bring up the comedy level here again, it is because when these characters/performers are on the same page [Patients] you can sense that these characters have a sense of unity [as I have already shown in the previous paragraph] or Patient & Nurse [the Nurse's love life and a Patients suggestion/advice] or when it is Patients vs. Nurses [distraction in one scene,] I should just point out it isn't out and out comedy, I think the best way I can describe it is this; if anyone has worked in this kind of environment, you know what I am trying to say here; it shows itself like; what it could be like to work in this environment.

So yes there is chemistry, but however when there is friction on some level the results can be life-changing and generally speaking the performances are good.

This film receives: 8/10, after everything is said and done I think this is a fair conclusion, I think anything less would be harsh or a little bit difficult to justify and finally I should give you a clean-cut warning, this film yes may be of real life events, but you will also see the effects of mental health issues, all I can say is this; don't take this warning likely [and I have given you two warnings now, I am not trying to put you off this film, I'm just covering my back, just in case I get some form of negative feedback.]

Legacy: Black Ops 2010/2011 [alternative name Legacy] by AverageMansReviews

Legacy: Black Ops 2010/2011 [alternative name Legacy] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is good.

Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, mental imagery, time jumps and place jumps.

The background music is consistently noticeable and the movement of this project is slow, but consistently moving [I will discuss these two points later in this review.]

Storyline/Back story/Origin storyline: in short all of these elements are good, but having said that the ending to this project is weird [I should just point out that this project is dark anyway and it does make sense, this is one of those occasions where you will have to pay attention.] This project is one of those projects that because of the way it is; having a ending like this fits in/is to be expected, but my point here is this; there is a weird ending to this project or let me put it this way I had to scrap some of this paragraph, because it has just dawned on me what happened, but it has roughly taken 24 hours for it to dawn on me.

Action sequences: there are weapons being used, combat, torture and exercise.

Character developments/Performances: now first of all generally speaking they are all good [minus one.] There is chemistry but very small amounts, it is for the majority of the time friction in one way or another, this is down to our lead character/performer who has been given the character developments of someone with PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. [Before I continue I would like to cover my back by saying, this is what this characters developments look like/feel like, but I could be wrong for that I apologize, I just wanted to deal with this sensitive subject properly, I know next to nothing about this illness besides people that have served their country or something to this effect may suffer from this; and this character/performer having an educated guess seems to be suffering from this illness very strongly, but I apologize if I have offended anyone, this was not my intention I am here just to talk about this project and nothing more.]

Elba; he puts in an excellent performance as our lead character/lead role; he believes in his convictions without question and there are other things [I just don't want to give too much of the storyline away,] but what I can say is this; the mannerisms and things of this nature can be a reflection of the movement and the background music of this project.

This film receives: 7/10, I was going to give this film something higher but the ending section left a question-mark for an ending; yes it is one of those occasions where after I have already said it took 24 hours roughly to dawn on me so either way I think a sensible conclusion would be this mark and if there are any fans of Elba out there in Internet land, on one hand I will say take a look at this project, but on the other hand I will say be warned this film is dark and potentially upsetting to some viewers.

The Specialist 1994 by AverageMansReviews

The Specialist 1994 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this film is mixed

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

The background music is noticeable and it is just there, the movement of this project is consistently moving but slow [I will be bringing the slowness up again later on in this review.]

Back story/Origin storyline/Storyline: to begin this title we have this back story section, then we have this origin storyline segments via mental imagery and voice-over and then we have the storyline, basically all of these components are solid, nothing special but you know they do their job

Comedy level: there are two small elements of comedy in this film or there is a flavour of comedy here and there [be of a dark make sure and the second one.] So look out for the lady looking for a seat on a bus and the making of a bomb in the second [on a quick side note yes I am very much aware this sequence is to in a nutshell highlight very clearly that this individual doesn't take any rubbish from anyone and he has the personality traits to be a psychopath, when he wants to be.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, training/exercise, a speedboat, helicopters and explosions. Moving on to the artistic visions we have performances happening be it singing or dancing in the background [or dancing involving one main character/performer or dancing between two main characters/performers,] fireworks and we have this cat which I like it when ever this cat appears, in one scene in the background; he climbs up this sliding fencing made of some kind of metal or metal like substance as this cat is hunting this mouse.

Character developments/Performances: now on one hand we have character developments that are something safe and reliable, whilst on the other hand we have performances that are somewhere around mixed with some chemistry, but for most of the time there is friction [depending where you are; is depending what you get.]

Now I don't know what it is; but in some cases this chemistry or friction or it could be the performances or the slowness of this title [basically it gives the viewers plenty of time to notice things like;] these three stages of chemistry or friction ranging from no chemistry or friction to not convincing chemistry or friction to yes there is chemistry or friction, but it is one of those things where if you begin to pick up on it, you will notice it more and more.

This film receives: 5/10, I think in fairness and balance this mark is just about right, meaning it was circling around here in one way or another.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 65: B.O.T. by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is mixed

Storyline/Character developments: the storyline narrative as it relates to one of the Combaticons [Swindle] this narrative and character developments are good and interesting these would be two big assets to this episode, but when this episode focuses on this character B.O.T. This is when this episode becomes tiresome and yes I am aware he is in the final section of this episode as well, but at this point there is a lot happening so it isn't just focused on him.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: these would be another big asset to this episode, be it for one example; this collective known as the Protectobot saving these people from a burning building or other action sequences in this episode [as long as B.O.T. is not the main focus on screen.]

This episode receives: 5/10, this mark is a fair outcome based on everything that this episode has to offer.

The Transformers 1984 -- 1987 [Season 2, Part 2, Volume 6, Disc 6] Episode 64: Masquerade by AverageMansReviews

Review Time: this episode is excellent

Storyline/Character developments: now on both counts generally speaking the storyline and the character developments were and are a highly creative idea for this episode, I like how these characters [the Stunticons,] get split down into pairs and one single character, to have individual short-term narratives in their different numbers and I can't say too much more about the character developments [this will make better sense when or if you choose to watch this episode.]

Action sequences/Artistic visions: once again on both counts they are highly entertaining and visually enjoyable for two examples we have Optimus Prime [in his transformed mode of FL86 cab over semi truck] vs. Motormaster [in his transformed mode of Kenworth K100 Aerodyne sleeper truck] in a game of Chicken and we have the Stunticons/Menasor breaking out of this prison.

This episode receives: 9/10, this episode has been quite difficult to mark including re-dictating some elements of this blog, but I finally got there, as I have already said this episode is excellent.
