Supergirl - Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One television review

Supergirl kicks off the crossover The CW has been building towards for years as an anti-matter wave is approaching all Earths, threatening to wipe out all of existence. The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) pulls heroes from various locations, bringing them to Supergirl‘s Earth-38 to make a stand. While the show’s current storyline’s are mentioned, most notably Lena (Katie McGrath) villain turn, the focus is on Crisis as all hands are on deck (even Lena) to find a way to evacuate the Earth should Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), White Canary (Caity Lotz), the Atom (Brandon Routh), Superman (Tyler Hoechlin), Mia (Katherine McNamara), Batwoman (Ruby Rose), and the Flash (Grant Gustin) fail.

Dolemite is My Name movie reviewEddie Murphy stars as entertainer Rudy Ray Moore who reinvents his dated struggling stage show to find new success by assuming the role of a character named Dolemite on stage (inspired by stories told on the streets in the 1970s about a foul-mouthed pimp who wouldn’t take shit from anyone). The success of the character would lead to three racy comedy albums, which larger studios feared to touch due to their explicit nature, and even feature films.

Supergirl - The Wrath of Rama Khan television review

In the final episode before the Crisis, Kara (Melissa Benoist) must deal with Lena‘s (Katie McGrath) betrayal and plans to launch Myriad and also stop Rama Khan (Mitch Pileggi) from igniting a dormant super volcano and destroying the world. Several of this season’s themes are put into play here, some of which are wrapped up and others which will continue after the crossover, but it’s the series’ core belief that anyone can be saved that plays a crucial role in ending Lena’s first (although not likely her last) attempt to bend humanity’s wills to a less-violent future.

Once and Future #4

/ / Comics

Once and Future #4 comic reviewIssue #4 begins to fill in some gaps as both Duncan and Rose begin to understand their role in the story that is slowly unfolding as zombie knights of Camelot show up in the Grail Castle to begin the quest. Rose, it appears, will be the brains of the operation, while Duncan’s middle name offers a clue to his role in the story. As the new Galahad begins the search for the Grail our heroes have another contemporary of an even older Grail Knight to lead their search.

There’s a bit of action here as we get to see one of the zombie knights make swift work of some local policemen, but the main purpose of Once and Future #4 is to continue building the story as Bridgette works to sell Rose and her grandson on their roles in the story that is unfolding around them (whether or not they choose to accept it).

Danger Man - The Contessa television review

Throwback Tuesday takes us back into the Cold War spycraft of Danger Man. An injured dock worker in New York wearing a coat full of cocaine sends John Drake (Patrick McGoohan) to Genoa in search of the base of the smuggling operation. Following a sailor with a similar jacket leads him to a bar and, between getting drugged twice in one night while pretending to be an out-of-work sailor, a meeting with a Contessa (Hazel Court) who knows far more about her husband’s business than she first lets on. A second meeting with the Contessa, this time as a potential ally, ends with one of the pair not making it through the night.
