'The New Mutants' - a fantastical disappointment

The New Mutants (2020) Full HD Movie (Download) | by kazu karlos | Medium

This is the first movie that Marvel is a part of since Disney purchased 20th Century Fox, movie side. It takes place in the X-Men world and it follows Danielle Moonstar (Blu Hut, CW's The Originals) as she goes to a clinic to try and figure out what her power is and learn how to control it.

To be fair to this movie, I hadn't watched a trailer recently or read anything about before going in. I was expecting it to be a superhero movie (ie action, fighting, a wee bit of drama, and probably some romance since it is a teenager movie) and while those things are in there, I didn't expect the horror side to it. No, it's not the slasher type of horror, but there are characters that may still give you nightmares (ie the smiley face man).

The story does seem to have a chance to be expanded in more of the universe but I am not sure that fans will be as interested in it.

The graphics are what I call fantastical. They were pretty good and realistic but it felt a bit of a stretch for the X-Men world that we have come to know and love. Also, the powers for a few of the mutants felt a bit of a stretch as well. The mutants that we have come to know are I guess more realistic. For me, it was just a bit too far-fetched for me to enjoy it. The story line itself was decent. And I did like the characters and their backstories.

The movie stars Blu Hunt, Maisie Williams, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Heaton, Alice Braga, and Henry Zaga and is out in theaters now.

Wanda is struggling to keep control in episode 7 of 'WandaVision'

If you are not already hooked on Marvel’s new TV show on Disney+ WandaVision then this week’s episode will certainly have you hook, line, and sinker. This week’s show is titled ‘Breaking the Fourth Wall’ and in some ways it breaks more walls then that. The show hits the 2000s and Modern Family seems to be the theme with some splashes of other sitcoms from the 2000s. I really enjoyed the commentary that Wanda and Vision have when they are talking to the camera. The glances and the 'knowing stare' from Vision are completely spot on. Like the other episodes, this one is jam-packed with information so you need to make sure you are paying attention. Wanda is slowly but surely losing control of the Hex. The kids are noticing this and want to help but Wanda just thinks relaxing will help (not likely). In the reality part of the show, we discover that Hayward is trying to get Vision back so he can use him as a weapon (no surprise there). Monica and Jimmy meet with her friend (...

'The Mandalorian' - Episode 4 - Sanctuary

We return back to TM trying to escape the war that he started in the last episode. Right out of the gate we get a iconic fight in outer space. Of course, the guy (assuming he is a bounty hunter? also, since when is there a million bounty hunters) is no match for TM as he gets away. But now needs a place to hide. He thinks he finds the perfect spot. To bad they are being attacked by giants and his minions. So what is a man to do. Take down the giant with the help of Cara (Gina Carona who is the amazing Angel Dust in Deadpool) and yes she did do the superhero landing and it was amazing. They team up together to take down the bad guys so that The Child can have a safe place to grow up. The big idea to take out of the show is that TM is breaking more barriers with his code of honor for the job. It looks like The Child woke something inside of TM and he is now even thinking about taking the helmet off. GASP! While it doesn't work out in this episode, it does set up the ...
