Secret Six #5

/ / Comics

The first thing you notice about Secret Six #5 is the art has changed considerably with Roger Cruz taking over for Stephen Segovia. The second thing you notice is there is no Catman in this issue. Neither of these things is an improvement.

Secret Six #5 catches up with Deadshot, Dreamer, and Black Alice being the “guests” of Checkmate where they also find Amanda Waller and have a second go-round with Jeannette after her failed attempt to get the trio to join in and help Checkmate with their own plans for Waller. We also get a bit more detail on just what Dreamer did to the woman (and why Checkmate wants her alive).

Jurassic World Rebirth

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Jurassic World Rebirth
  • IMDb: link

Good news, bad news. The good news is that Jurassic World Rebirth is better than the last couple Jurassic World movies where the franchise offered us the disappointing Dominion and dreadful Fallen Kingdom. The bad news is it’s not all that much better. A far cry from the franchise’s best, Jurassic World Rebirth struggles with what to keep and what to throw out in a formulaic adventure that is smart enough to make fun of the lagging interest in dinosaurs decades after the original Jurassic Park but not smart enough to offer anything new other than shoehorning in Black Widow. Still, for a summer popcorn movie with dinosaurs, you could do worse (as the franchise has proven).

M3GAN 2.0

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: M3GAN 2.0
  • IMDb: link

Far more action-comedy than horror-thriller, M3GAN 2.0 is an incredibly silly film. I don’t know if there’s a suspenseful moment in the entire movie as writer/director Gerard Johnstone leans hard into comedy, but there is some wacky fun to be had in a script that seems to have a very mixed message about the rise of Artificial Intelligence. Allison Williams and Violet McGraw reprise their roles of Gemma and Cady from the first film who are forced to bring M3GAN (Jenna Davis) back when an even deadlier android based on the M3GAN designs, and built as an assassin for the military, goes haywire and begins following her own agenda including killing anyone tied to her creation.

Ironheart – Take Me Home

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Ironheart – Take Me Home
  • wiki: link

Originally planned for a 2023 release, Dominique Thorne reprises her role of Riri Williams from Wakanda Forever who, for no real reason, left the comforts of Wakanda at the end of the movie despite it being obviously the perfect place for her to continue her education. As the series needs to break the character down, in terms of the story it wants to tell, that means we’re reintroduced to Riri as a struggling college student at MIT who, despite her intelligence and skill, relies on under-the-table deals to fix other students’ projects for the money needed to explore her own interest of recreating an Iron Man suit (which, she already accomplished in Wakanda, and also again at MIT).

Elio

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: Elio
  • IMDb: link

For their latest, Pixar delivers a story about a young boy who has to be abducted by aliens to learn about friendship and family. Following the death of his parents, a lonely Elio (Yonas Kibreab) struggles to connect with his aunt (Zoe Saldaña) or make friends while becoming obsessed with the idea of alien life and traveling to the stars to escape a world where he doesn’t seem to belong. Eventually Elio gets his wish when his message to outer space is overheard and he finds himself among ambassadors of a federation of planets, so to speak, known as the Communiverse (a moniker that is as awkward spoken aloud as it looks in print).
