  • Title: A Minecraft Movie

This is  bad. Inoffensive, but bad. Geared towards younger audiences, and fans of the game which has been around since 2011, A Minecraft Movie is a train wreck of a film that other than it’s design has very little going for it. The story involves people finding their way into this alternate dimension where you can build basically any squarish item you can imagine. We start we Steve (Jack Black) who is the first to find the realm but unintentionally puts it in danger from the equivalent of a failed America’s Got Talent contestant turned evil queen.

  • Title: Thunderbolts*
  • IMDb: link

Very much in the vein of Guardians of the Galaxy or Suicide Squad, Thunderbolts* offers the teaming up of lovable losers. In the case of Thunderbolts* (the name of which turns out to be one of the movie’s better jokes), the group are all independent black-ops cleaners for Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who, while under investigation from Congress about her illegal programs, has had each of them tying up any loose ends that would lead back to her.

Daredevil – Straight to Hell

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Daredevil: Born Again – Straight to Hell
  • wiki: link

“Straight to Hell” ends rather than concludes the first season revival of Daredevil. Using both Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) being at large and Matt Murdock‘s (Charlie Cox) heroically saving his life as an excuse, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) cracks down on the city giving him a chance to silent his detractors and impose his order on the city. Murdock escapes the hospital before the assassin (Arty Froushan) comes for him, and joins a (suddenly motivated) Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) on the streets. We also get the return of Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) which, like the Punisher’s involvement, feels more like a setup to Season Two than a big moment in and of itself (although the pair’s snooping does lead to a revelation concerning the motive for Foggy‘s death).

Reacher – L.A. Story / Unfinished Business

  • Title: Reacher – L.A. Story| Unfinished Business
  • IMDb: link | link

After a (bit too prolonged) trip to Los Angeles to set up the gun buy and trap the bad guys, the final two episodes of the series push Duffy (Sonya Cassidy) to bring the case to the ATF over  Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) objections. They quickly bench the group, set up a sting for the gun sale, and walk right into a trap set by Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee). Reacher manages to survive the blood bath, but the ATF is going to need some new guys. With the guard rails off again, Reacher turns his attention back on the family compound and revenge.
