The Flash - Attack on Central City television review

Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) joy at stopping Grodd (David Sobolov) and preventing an ape attack on Central City is short-lived as the follow-up to last week’s “Attack on Gorilla City” brings Grodd and his army of gorillas to Earth-1. Mind-controlling Gypsy (Jessica Camacho), Grodd is able to bring his entire army over (and somehow hide a large group of armor-covered apes from prying eyes for nearly the entire episode). Fearful both of an attack on the city he’s not sure they can stop, and more of Iris‘ (Candice Patton) future coming true, Barry considers the possibility of putting Grodd down, for good.

Elektra #1

/ / Comics

Elektra #1 comic reviewElektra has been many things over the years, but most of her best stories usually tie back to Daredevil (in one way or another). The character’s new comic takes Elektra far from the streets of New York and Matt Murdock’s new life, and deposits her on the strip in Las Vegas where the despicable treatment of one of the casino workers raises the assassin’s ire.

5 Film Collection: GangstersWhat the hell is Gangster Squad doing on this set? The 2013 film wastes a talented cast on this idiotic take on a 50s cop (Josh Brolin) attempting to take down Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn). What a piece of shit. The rest of this collection is actually quite good, making you wonder who decided to try and polish this turd by putting in in their company.

Ben Affleck‘s The Town is the second-weakest entry in the set, but the look at Boston bank robbers is at least occasionally compelling. While flawed, 2001’s Training Day is worth a look for the performances of Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke as the older detective introduces his new partner to his world.
