This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.The rest of Remembering James Earl Jones and my analysis of his great CareerJames Earl Jones is amazing as he had to overcome so much. He had a stutter like President Joe Biden does. Both men had to overcome so much. Once James Earl Jones overcame that, he became one of the best actors ever. In my mind, his best role is Darth Vader. His voice is golden and if he could do the voice, he should do it. It is amazing, if you compare his voice to A New Hope and the Obi Wan Kenobi series, it sounds the same. I will want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the 2 clips that I found on YouTube as I do not want to risk a backlash. Here is the Scene for Star Wars: A New Hope where, Darth Vader will encounter the Millenium Falcon. If you are reading this on my blog, it is The other clip is from the Obi Kenobi series where Darth Vader is fighting 3rd sister. It is One of the other roles I enjoy, James Earl Jones is the Lion King. When he plays the voice of Mufasa, it is brilliant. Mufasa was the benevolent king of the Pride Land, and his brother Scar is jealous of him. Scar kills Mufasa because he wanted power. In both the remake and the original, there is no difference in this voice. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch a couple of clips that I found on YouTube to prove my point. Here is the clip from the 1994 version, it is Here is a clip from the 2019 version, please watch belowOne of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing James Greer. He is great at this role. In both Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, he shows how strong he is in this role. Especially in Clear and Present Danger, he tells Jack Ryan to watch Ritter like a hawk. You need to watch the movie to see that as I do not have access to a video or a photo on that. The link to the movie is here to click. I read one of the Tom Clancy books back in 2021 and that is the same Ritter we see in this movie. You can go to this link and read or listen to Without Remorse. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip of James Greer in the White House situation room with Jack Ryan; it is . You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip of Jack Ryan taking the oath to the people of the United States, it is This scene is important because this will show what is the most important oath. It is to the people of the United States. Everything that happens now makes sense. With Donald Trump out there, we need a President that will stand up for the people of this great county. Remember, the President works for the American people. Jack Ryan who works for the CIA remembers from what James Greer tells him, you work for the American people.One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing Terrence Man who is a writer in the Field of Dreams. The scene at the baseball game where he claims he did not see what the character Ray Kinsella saw at the Botson Red Sox game. When Ray Kinsella is fixing to leave Boston, Terrence Man tells him that he saw it. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip for you to watch. It is One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing in Sneakers. He will play Crease, and he is great in this role. He told one of the people that we are the U.S. Government, world peace is not our goal. The character Robert Redford played before told him, “I want my life back.” You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the clip. It is One of the other roles that deserves mentioning is James Earl Jones playing in Coming to America. He is great in the original Coming to America and the sequel. He is great in these two movies. You want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch the couple of clips from both films for you to watch. From the first Coming to America, it is From the second Coming to America, it is The actors that worked with him like Mark Hamill and Kevin Costner love working with James Earl Jones. James Earl Jones was born in Arkabutla, Mississippi and moved to Michigan later to grow up. Like I mentioned before, he had to overcome a stutter before landing on Broadway. He played roles in plays such as King Lear and Driving Miss Daisy. Jon Favreau who worked with James Earl Jones said that when James Earl Jones asked him a question about what to do in the remake of the Lion King, he told him, do what you do. This is something that I read when I looked at it in USA Today. If I worked with James Earl Jones, I would have loved to work with him. It sounds like who was a good guy to have a good relationship with. The link to the USA Today article is https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/09/09/james-earl-jones-dead-star-wars-lion-king/75149628007/. I will read the article on the USA Today website.If a person thought another person could do Darth Vader justice with the voice, I do not see anyone right now that could do the voice like James Earl James. I will give you an example of any actor who has been the voice of a popular character for a long time. My answer is Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime. I will play James Earl Jones voice playing Darth Vader and Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime to make my point. I will pull from a New Hope as Darth Vader and have you watch a clip James Earl Jones voice as Darth Vader from the Obi Wan Kenobi series. For Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime, you will want to go to my blog or my Patreon page to watch two clips, one from the original 1986 Transformers movie based on the 1984 Transformers series, and the other from the recent film that came out last year which is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts that came out in 2023. I hope you enjoy watching those clips. I know I covered and talked about these clips before, but here they are and will be on my blog and my Patreon Page. Here is the Scene for Star Wars: A New Hope where, Darth Vader will encounter the Millenium Falcon. If you are reading this on my blog, it is The other clip is from the Obi Kenobi series where Darth Vader is fighting 3rd sister. It is Here is the clip with Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime in the 1986 Transformers film based on the 1984 Transformers Cartoon, it is Here is the other clip with Peter Cullen playing Optimus Prime in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, it is Do not forget to check out the blog and help support itPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

I will do my best to answer them. Thank you.Before I end this video and article, my recommendation for you to vote for Governor of NC is Josh Stein. Josh Stein is qualified to be Governor, and I am endorsing and voting for Josh Stein. Mark Robinson is not qualified as he wants to have a total abortion ban and slash public school funding. Anyone saying he or she wants to slash public school funding has no business to be Governor of NC as well as not having women have say about her own body and not having the Government telling her what to do. The current state of the Republican Party is about being big brother and interfering with our lives. I say no more to that. As I said before, vote for Democracy and decency. There is nothing decent about MAGA. Please vote blue up and down the ballot and make sure you vote early as well as you are registered. I will leave useful links in the description below to be sure you are registered and how you can help as well. Have the courage to stand up for this great county of the United States of America.

In this episode of the Mattacritic and welcome to this live video presentation, I will be reviewing and reacting to the Apprentice Movie trailer that dropped on September 9, 2024. This is very critical they are doing this movie. When you have a person running for President of the United States of America promising to be a dictator, this is dangerous and unqualifying. I will play the trailer for you to watch. I will give you my analysis of the trailer after we watch it together.It is for you to watch if you are reading this on my newsletter.

Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.My Review and Reaction and Analysis of the Apprentice TrailerWhat we see when watching this trailer of the Apprentice, Donald Trump is going to an apartment in New York City telling a person he is there on the behalf of Roy Cohn. This movie takes place in the 1970’s people are dressing in the movie and that is what the cars and buildings look like. The person says, “Donald Who?” That is good. Donald Trump is being played in the movie by Sebastin Stan. Why does Sebastin Stan sound familiar? He should because he played the Winter Solider in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here is a photo of Sebastin Stan playing the Winter Solider. If you are reading this on my blog, it is https://wegeekgirls.com/2014/03/13/16-minutes-of-behind-the-scenes-footage-from-captain-america-the-winter-soldier/His real name is James Buchanan Barnes. The Winter Solider was manipulated by Hydra. Hydra means when you cut off one head two more heads grow back. Hydra had a manipulation of Hydra agents in the United States Government. Does that sound familiar? It should, the Russians infiltrated the United States Government by influencing elections and making sure Donald Trump got elected. The smart scientist was in a computer in Captain America: The Winter Solider influencing our society in that film. It is happening now, and it is sad.Sebastin Stan looks like the younger version of Donald Trump. I will bring up an image of Donald Trump when he looks younger. This image is perfect as it compares Sebastin Stan playing Donald Trump, if you are reading this on my blog, it is https://images.app.goo.gl/ryjGbsKcJoB4X6Uv6. In the trailer, they make fun of Donald Trump’s ass. Roy Kohn says he has a big ass. If you see Donald Trump’s ass, he does have a big ass even today. His diet of fast food and he has done drugs is why this has happened to him.In the trailer, Roy Cohn tells him there are rules. Before Roy Cohn tells him the rules, Donald Trump tells him, “You are ruthless”. The first rule is to attack, attack, attack. The second rule, admit nothing, deny everything. The third rule is to say; no matter what happens, you claim victory, and never admit defeat. Roy Cohn tells Donald Trump; you must do anything to anyone to win. His first wife Ivanna tells Donald Trump in the trailer, “Your face looks like an orange”.At the end of the trailer, a reporter asks Donald Trump, what if you lost your fortune. I don’t know, maybe I will run for President. Earlier in the trailer, he saw the campaign slogan for Ronald Reagan where it said, Make America Great Again. He is a grifter. As it showed earlier in the trailer how he was inflating how big his buildings were. You see that now, how claims how big his crowds are and the day of 9/11/2001, he was bragging he has the biggest building after the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed after terrorists crashed two Seven Forty-Seven in the two buildings of the World Trade Center. That was a lie as it suddenly was the Empire State Building at the time. This guy is a horrible person, and this trailer showed it very well.Do not forget to check out the blog and help support itPlease go to Matthew Hemenway | Substack and check out my blog.

As you all heard, he died on Monday, September 9, 2024. It was a great loss and in my mind; he will go down as one of the great actors of our time. I hope to have it on Monday September 16, 2024.

I will tell you who I am endorsing for President of the United States, I will be endorsing and voting for Kamala Harris. If you are reading this on my blog, the image of Kamala Harris is https://images.app.goo.gl/BGGpgpqgqEhkcjon6 Donald Trump is a horrible person who deserves never to be in the Oval Office ever again. I will not bring up any more images of Donald Trump as you can find his images on Google. I feel that you do not want to get sick and do not want to feel like you are going to puke. This is not about liberal or conservative or right or left. This must deal with right and wrong. As Taylor Swift said the night on the debate on September 10, 2024. If you are reading this on my blog, the image of Taylor Swift is https://www.teenvogue.com/story/taylor-swift-melbourne-eras-show-folklore-lonely to look at this photo. I looked at the data between the two and made my choice. I have done the same thing. Both Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney are voting for Kamala Harris. The image for Liz Cheney is https://images.app.goo.gl/wXrdB1bFQbHPtqtw8 and for Dick Cheney is https://images.app.goo.gl/sLNx1yn51fpXQemT6 if you are reading this on my blog.When Taylor Swift, Liz Cheney, and Dick Cheney are voting for Kamala Harris. You know this is bigger than any party affiliation you may have. Vote for Democracy, decency, and just have a person who is a good person to be in the Oval Office. I will be making my recommendations and endorsements in other races of this election in the year of 2024. The next one will be in a video post for the Governor of NC.

Before I begin this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing the Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track which came out in 2003 that is currently on Disney+. Why am I reviewing this movie? There are several reasons why to review this movie. This movie deals with the story of Erica and Courtney Enders that went into drag racing. Drag racing is where a car races down a track, and that individual must get his or her car across the finish line. It is not like NASCAR racing where they go in a circle. That individual goes down a straight line and must get his or her car across the finish line. The league that Drag racing goes into is called NHRA which stands for the National Hot Rod Association. When Erica Enders first races was when she was 8 years old, she races in the Junior division of the National Hot Rod Association. Her father was Greg Enders, and he was a great drag racer. There is a scene in the beginning of the movie where Erica Enders is 4 years old, and she was in her dad’s car, and he had to get her out of the car for him to get ready to race. She gets challenged by a couple of boys that tease her about being on the training wheels of her bicycle. She tells them that she can beat them. She races them and she does beat them. I will explain more as the episode continues. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the channel and the NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.Rest of Review and Rating of Right on TrackAs was mentioned before, the movie Right on Track deals with the story of Erica and Courtney Enders. Erica Enders was born a racer. She has skills that cannot be taught. As her father Greg Enders tells Erica’s mother and his wife, only the best drivers have that. In her first race when she was 8 years old, she won that race and yes, she ended up beating the boys. She was the only girl at the time when she raced the boys in Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas is where this story takes place. The idea of a female drag racer was unheard of at the time when Erica Enders raced at the time. Courtney Enders will follow in her sister Erica Enders footsteps. Erica Enders inspired her sister Courtney Enders to get into drag racing.The movie will jump 7 years later when Erica Enders is 15 years old and going to be 16 years old shortly. How I know this is that she will test for her license later in the movie and most states have people get their driver licenses when they are at least 16 years old. Her dad Greg Enders tells her and her sister Courtney Enders that you can race out of state if you have straight A on your report card. If you have Bs you are racing in Texas only. Any Cs, you can forget racing. They both agree to his terms and promise that they will get straight A in their classes.Erica Enders will race against Jordy Knowlton and his father Rusty Knowlton will tease Erica Enders’ father Greg Enders; your little girl will not cry if she loses. Erica Enders races against Jordy Knowlton and loses to him. Erica Enders is frustrated by this as she hates to lose. Greg Enders tells Erica Enders that you need to go and shake his hand. Erica Enders tells her father that he is a jerk. Her father reminds her that it does not matter if he is a jerk or not; win or lose at the end of the day, you need to be the best person you can be. Erica Enders will end up shaking Jordy Knowlton’s hand. Rusty Knowlton tells her, this is not for little girls, why don’t you do us and the sport a favor and get out now. This attitude is still here as there are males still that think that females should not do things that they perceive are only done by males. That attitude is wrong, and it is unfortunate that it is still here today. Her father Greg Enders agrees with Erica that, you are right, they are jerks. There are those that think they ought to gloat if they win and have that arrogance that they should win all the time. It is happening now with how MAGA claims if they do not win all the time, it is rigged against them. They will gloat when they do win. They are sore losers and the good thing about sports is if you take about competition teaches and learn how to win and lose with grace; it will make you a better person. If you do not do that, you become a bad person.Erica Enders will be in her room later and she is testing her mental speed with a device that does that. She is not pleased with it. Her mom Janet Lee Enders comes in and asks her, are you going to be this every time you lose. Erica Enders tells her mother that she hates to lose. Her mom tells her, you cannot win all the time. Her mother is pointing out a fact that is very true. Everyone loses now and then, no one wins all the time. Erica Enders tells her mother that when she first stepped into her father’s car, it just felt right when she raced. She felt at home when she was behind the wheel of a car. For example, if a person likes to write, that person will feel he or she at their best and feel like that who he or she is at that moment. It is who that person is and no one else should try to change that person. Courtney Enders comes in later tickling Erica Enders with a feather. Erica Enders gave her the device and Courtney Enders got a better score. Courtney Enders handed her the device and Erica Enders was frustrated that she did better with it than she did with it.Erica Enders will come to the garage with Courtney Enders in Erica’s car. Courtney Enders tells her we should race each other. Erica Enders tells Courtney Enders, if I did that, it would not make sense. She tells her sister Courtney if I raced you and beat you, all I did was beat a little kid. If by some miracle, you beat me, all I did was get beat by a little kid. It would be a no-win situation. As Courtney Enders tells her, you crack me up, you take it so seriously. Erica Enders tells her, how am I supposed to take it? As Courtney Enders tells her, it is just a race. Courtney Enders may be the younger sister, but she is right. It is just a race. Erica Enders must allow herself to relax and not to take it so seriously. Erica Enders must allow herself to have fun.Yes, life will have stakes, but the stakes cannot overwhelm you, so that you do not have fun. If you allow yourself to enjoy the process and do your best, you will be more successful than if you do not do that.Erica Enders is played by Beverly Mitchell who played Lucy Camden in the TV series 7th Heaven. She played the third child of the Camden family. She was the 3rd oldest in the Camden family. Mat and Mary Camden were the older two. Erica Enders is the oldest one. There are only two of them in this family. How she plays Erica Enders is how she plays Lucy. She is fiery and will not tolerate people picking at her. Later in the movie, Erica Enders is getting picked on by a couple of popular girls saying that racing is not a real sport. She plays volleyball as well as does drag racing. She tells them, you do not think that it is a real sport. Have you ever been in a car that is going fast? It feels like you can hardly breathe. You can hardly hold the steering wheel. You had better develop your arm muscles, so I am sorry I must disagree with you. It takes quite a bit of athletic ability to do what I do. I will play the clip with the two girls picking on Erica Enders. You will watch the YouTube video included in this blog to watch that clip. Thank you.Courtney Enders is played by Brie Larson in this movie. Yes, it is the same Brie Larson that will end up playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is one of the first roles she had as an actress. This is a theme for Brie Larson, she plays females that are tough and do not fall into the traditional female role. Brie Larson was in Hoot where she plays a tough female character who is trying to save owls that lived under the ground. She gets a role to play Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry and yes, Elizabeht Zott does not fall into traditional female roles. She defies this story at every turn. Courtney Enders is like this, and she likes to race like her big sister Erica Enders.Erica Enders will later be in a time trial with Jordy Knowlton, and she beats his time. She will later make fun of Jordy Knowlton and throw him a pocket pack of tissues. Her father Greg Enders will not be happy with Erica Enders. He tells her, if you want to lower yourself to his level go ahead. You were taught better than that. You are not the Knowltons. I thought I had to teach you how to lose, I never thought I had to teach you how to win. Erica Enders will realize that her father Greg Enders is right and realizes, nothing is worth going to his level. I will play the clip of Erica Enders getting lectured by her father. You will want watch the YouTube video included in this blog to watch this clip. Thank you.It is what was mentioned before, if a person cannot learn how to win or lose with grace, it will make that person become a bitter person. That person will be a sore loser and will gloat when he or she wins. A person must understand that you will not win all the time. That helps a person to have humility. When a person tries to do something, you should always do your best.Erica Enders with her best friend Randy Jones who helps with being the crew chief of the car. She and he will have gone to ice skating rink. They both fall on the ice later as they have a hard time managing the balance of the ice skates. They must later help the two girls that picked on her by repairing their car. Because of her racing skills, she was able to know how to look at the car and repair it.Erica and Courtney Enders will face challenges in the movie and will learn how to grow and become better and stronger people. One of the challenges is that Erica Enders will be needed to bump her French grade to an A and that she will be late to a volleyball match because of a vehicle breakdown. There will not be anything else revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax and help the viewer understand what happens in the film.I will give you, my rating. I give the Disney Channel Original Movie, Right on Track, a 10 out of 10. This is a quality movie, and it is timeless. This story has something to say about how males are afraid of females going into a sport that is dominated by males. Erica Enders is having to go through several trials and must figure out she is going to get through them. She must learn how to win and lose with grace. She will learn from her sister Courtney Enders that she needs to take a deep breath and relax. That makes sense. As you know, I took Tae Kwon Do and got a 4th degree black belt. If you relax and take a deep breath, it will lower your heart rate and you will not be so tense. It is important to do this. Yoga will teach you this as well. What is happening with MAGA is that they believe they should not lose, and they must win all the time. MAGA does not know how to win and lose with grace. That is the problem and that needs to change. They do not want to play fair and that hurts everyone. It does compare to the film as was mentioned by winning and losing with grace. I will play the promotional piece from when Disney Channel released the movie. It is I will play the other promotional clip from the movie as well.

In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace that is currently on Disney+. The reason to do this review and analysis of this movie is that there is relative stuff that is said in this movie. It also makes sense as this movie is now 25 years old. This movie has weaknesses, and the idea of the story is good. The idea of going back to understand why Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader is important. It helps the viewer understand why it happened. It also helps the viewer understand how Emperor Palpatine came to power. He started out as a Senator from Naboo, but he wanted power and he wanted to create a crisis. Palpatine decided to have the trade federation attack Naboo so that he can say to those in the Republic such as the Senate that Chancellor Valorum is not worthy to be Chancellor, so you need to elect a new leader to run the Republic. This is remarkably like how every other dictator rose to power. Rome was a republic before the people there elected Julius Caesar before he decided the people needed a dictator to run the government for them. This is what this review will set out to prove. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Thank you.Before I continue this review, please remember I will give you an analysis of the text and whatever rating I give you is my opinion. This does not mean that you must agree with me. I never always agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her honest opinion. This is what I do. Whatever rating I give, you need to know it is my honest opinion. I will never lie to you. If you do not agree with me no matter what rating I give you, that is fine with me. This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.As was mentioned before, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace came out 25 years ago in May 1999. This movie came out 22 years after the first Star Wars film of A New Hope. This movie tells the viewer that the trade federation was acting aggressively towards Naboo. The two ambassadors that were going to force the settlement of the trade federation were jedi knights. As the viewer finds out the jedi knights are Qui Quon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi. Qui Quon Jinn was Obi Wan Kenobi’s master. Oui Quon Jinn tells Obi Wan Kenobi that this trade federation are cowards, the negotiation will be short. That is true. The trade federation is working for Darth Sidious who is known other becomes Emperor Palpatine. At this moment in the story, Emperor Palpatine is Senator Palpatine. He has not been elected the Supreme Chancellor yet. There is this belief that dictators rise to power through force. Most of the time it is more subtle than that. They are usually elected, and people will get duped by that individual thinking they have their best interests at heart when it is usually about them getting power no matter what. Julius Ceasar was elected in Rome. Adolf Hitler was elected by the people of Germany. Adolf Hitler promised the Germans, if you elect me, I will make your lives better. He told the Germans that your lives are bad because of the Jews. The Jews must be eliminated so that your lives can be better. These dictators promise that they will make their lives better, but it is a smokescreen at best. It is a bunch of hot air. Their egos are as big as a hot air balloon. Look at Donald Trump, his ego is as big as hot air balloon. Donald Trump like Senator Palpatine will promise a lot, but in the end, it is all lies. They are usually the agents of chaos and promise those, you must give them all the power to protect from the chaos. It is usually a vicious cycle. That is the irony at best.Qui Quonn Jinn will have to rescue Jar Jar Binks from getting killed by the Droid army. What is wrong with you? Jar Jar Biniks tells Qui Quon Jinn that I can speak. As Qui Quon Jinn tells Jar Jar Binks, the ability to speak does not make you intelligent. That is true. Jar Jar Binks is a bad version of Steve Urkel. If a person grew up in the 1990’s, Steve Urkel was clumsy. His clumsiness was used intelligently. Steve Urkel was intelligent but had coordination problems. There may be those that like Jar Jar Binks and that is understandable. It is the assessment of this review that this could be better. For example, in Return of the Jedi, Wicket threw the slingshot into his eyes. This was an effective use of comedy there. Jar Jar Binks was stupid, and it was hard to understand what the appeal was. It is The Jedi later gets help from the Gunkans to help with the problem of the droid army. The Gunkans needed to help them. It is important for that to happen. They must go up and help Queen Amidala escape from the trade federation. It is important for this to happen. The Jedi rescued her and her court.The governor tells Qui Quon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi that they would not dare to kill the queen. The captain of her royal guard tells them they need her alive to sign the treaty. They cannot afford to kill her. The governor tells Queen Amidala that you need to go with the Jedi to Coruscant. Senator Palpatine will need your help. This is true, she must plead her case to the Senate. This is the only way they will get where they need to be.They escape off the planet of Naboo and they are lucky to get through the blockade of the trade federation. The ship gets heavily damaged, and they are rescued by R2D2. This is where R2D2 came from. He was on Naboo. He was a droid that was always concerned about the mission. The captain tells Queen Amidala that R2D2 is the reason we survived. Queen Amidala tells Padme to clean this droid, it deserves our gratitude.Padme will meet Jar Jar Binks while cleaning R2D2 and this is where Padme talks to him. It is an enjoyable conversation here. She has a friendly conversation with Jar Jar Binks.The viceroy of the trade federation tells Darth Sidious that this ship is out of our range. Darth Sidious tells the viceroy; it is not out of the range for the Sith. Darth Sidious introduces the viceroy of the trade federation to Darth Maul. Darth Maul is cool as he is menacing, and he has a face that is menacing. Darth Maul is a great character. He wears a black hood. The good thing that this movie does is that it has Palpatine in the same hood that he was known to wear once he became the emperor. Return of the Jedi showed that as well. It is of a navy-blue color. It is a communication that the viceroy and his second in command have with Palpatine. The viceroy tells him after they are off with Darth Sidious, there are now two of them. The second in command agrees, this is getting out of hand.As Oui Quon Jinn tells them, this is the best place to take her is Tatooine. It is the place where we must hide from the trade federation. Tatooine is controlled by the Hutts. As the captain tells the Jedi, you cannot take her there, the Hutts are gangsters. It would be, if the Hutts were looking for her, but that gives us the advantage. Qui Quon Jinn is right, they need to take her there as they are not looking for her.They get on Tatooine, and this will lead Qui Quon Jinn to go with Padme, Jar Jar Binks, and R2D2 to meet up with Wala and they will eventually meet up with Anakin Skywalker. As Anakin Skywalker tells Padme, are you an angel? Padme tells Anakin, what? An angel, as Anakin says. As Anakin describes, they are the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy. As he tells Padme, all the space pilots talk about when they come through her. Anakin Skywalker is a slave. Padme leaves and lets him know, I was glad to meet you, Anakin. Anakin tells her the same thing.Anakin Skywalker must help down the road. Anakin gets Padme, Qui Quon Jinn, and R2D2 to shelter. Anakin Skywalker shows Padme C3PO and tells Padme that he was built to help his mother around the house. Padme tells them that the republic outlawed slavery. As Anakin’s mother tells Padme, the republic does not exist out here. Anakin suggests to Qui Quon Jinn that I will help you. Anakin suggests to Qui Quon Jinn, you can have me race in the Pod Race and that I can help you get the money you need to buy the parts necessary to fix your ship. There is no choice but to let Anakin help them as his mother tells Padme and Qui Quon Jinn.The movie will progress with Anakin Skywalker racing in the Pod Race against Sabula. Sabula is one of the best racers out there. There is one reason to why that is. He cheats. He will take pieces off the other racers’ pods so that will give him the advantage. Anakin Skywalker will get help from Qui Quon Jinn, and this will allow him to win the race. This will give the parts that Qui Quonn Jinn, Padme, R2D2, and Jar Jar Binks need to get off Tatooine. The farting of the animal before the race is not necessary. There is no need to have fart jokes in Star Wars. The original trilogy did it with clever jokes, not fart jokes.The movie will progress with Anakin Skywalker, Padme, Qui Quon Jinn, Obi Wan Kenobi, Jar Jar Binks, along with Queen Amidala to Coruscant. As is shown in the movie, Coruscant is a city planet. There is no part of the planet that is not a city. You wonder how they get their food. They get it from the other planets in the galaxy. They will meet up with Chancellor Valorum. As Qui Quon Jinn tells Chancellor Valorum, he needs to speak with Jedi council at once.Qui Quon Jinn tells the Jedi Council that the came into an encounter with Darth Maul. Darth Maul would have attacked Qui Quon Jinn on Tatooine when he was getting Anakin on the ship. This is where Anakin meets Obi Wan Kenobi. Qui Quon Jinn lets them know that Darth Maul is a Sith. As the Jedi council tells Qui Quon Jinn, the Sith had been extinct for a Millenia. Qui Quon Jinn lets the jedi council know that he discovered Anakin Skywalker, and you need to consider him to be trained as a jedi. The council is hesitant about this but agrees to have Anakin Skywalker come before them.Senator Palpatine tells Queen Amidala that you must consider a no confidence vote for Chancellor Valorum. Queen Amidala tells Senator Palpatine, he has been our biggest supporter. Senator Palpatine convinces her that he is corrupt, and he is in the pocket of the trade federation. She gets easily deceived by Senator Palpatine and agrees to have him voted out of office by the senate. As Palpatine tells her, the senate will elect a new chancellor, a strong chancellor. This is how Palpatine gets to power. It is no different from Julius Caesar or Adolf Hitler. They got elected and once they got their power, they make sure no one else can get it.The movie will progress as Qui Quon Jinn finds out that the Jedi council will not allow Anakin Skywalker not to be trained. As Yodi would have told Anakin Skywalker earlier, I sense great fear in you. As Anakin asks him, what does that have to do with it. Anakin Skywalker is worried about losing his mother. As Yodi tells him, it means everything. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. That is true. One of the four freedoms that Franklin Roosevelt talked about is freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. If you give into fear, you will believe that you are free, but you are not. If you give into want, you are not free. To do what you want is not freedom, it is license. Palpatine wants power. If all do what they want, it can hurt other people and make them less free. You are not as free as you think you are.The movie will progress as Queen Amidala will go back to Naboo with the two Jedi that have been protecting her. This will lead them to having to fight off the trade federation droid army. They will need help with the Genkans. The fight with ships is awesome along with the fight with droid army against the Genkans. The battle is a diversion to allow Padme Amidala with her captain to take back the throne room. Anakin Skywalker will be a cockpit with R2D2. It is a Naboo starfighter. That type of vehicle is later used by the Mandalorian in the Book of Boba Fett, and the third season of the Mandalorian. The fight with the Jedi against Darth Maul is awesome. Anakin Skywalker helps Padme with the droids. The ship is on autopilot. The problem is having Anakin Skywalker put on a helmet that is child size. This does not make sense. He should be putting on a helmet that is too big. Yes, it is obvious, but obvious in this case it would have been funny. This is using ordinary situations and making it funny. Anakin Skywalker would have been forced to take it off and must fly without the helmet. This is not using fart jokes. It is not necessary to go to the lowest common denominator.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here.I will give you, my rating. I give Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, a 6 out of 10. This rating I gave is very comparable to other ratings given by other people. Most average ratings are around this. Most letter grades have it around a C. This movie is not the best of all, but it is not the worst either. The relationship between Anakin and Padme is good. Their connection feels real. Darth Maul is awesome and terrifying. Darth Maul using a double-bladed lightsaber is very cool. His lightsaber is based off a Bo staff. Bo Staffs are that length of his lightsaber. Instead of being made off wood, this lightsaber can cut you and can kill you. As was pointed out in this review, there is no need for fart jokes in Star Wars. Jar Jar Binks is a bad version of Steve Urkel. Steve Urkel is smart but clumsy. Jar Jar Binks is an uncoordinated buffoon. Steve Urkel is annoying, but you can get behind him. The movie showing how Palpatine got to power is good. Every dictator usually does it by more subtle means. It is usually not by force. Look at Donald Trump and tell me if he does possess those tendencies of wanting to be a dictator. The idea is good to go back to find out how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader. It helps to understand how the Jedi found him and trained him. The jedi council are hesitant to train him, but he does get trained by Obi Wan Kenobi. The idea is good, the execution needed work. I would have made Jar Jar Binks not to be so stupid. That would have been my improvement. Anakin Skywalker as mentioned before when he is in the Naboo starfighter, needs his helmet be too big for him. Yes, it is obvious, but it would have been funny. It would have been clever to use the ordinary and make it funny.

In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 that is currently on Disney+. I will also do live trailer reactions and take questions and ask you questions on air for you to respond in the chat. I will let you know when that happens. The series will start off with Omega being on the planet that Dr. Hemlock has her after he took her there to force Nala Se who was the one who created the clones, and the Empire wants to use her to make more of them. In the first episode, it will remind the viewer what happened to Tech. Tech told Wrecker, when have we ever followed orders. Tech knew the only way they all did not die is if he sacrificed himself to save the whole team. The emperor wants to find specific DNA in the clone. He is looking for M class blood. Dr. Hemlock is torturing the clones to condition to become obedient soldiers. Echo was hoping to help Captain Rex find where Dr. Hemlock took these clones so that he could rescue them. Omega hopes she can escape from her prison, but she does not want to leave Crosshairs behind. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being a follower of my channel or my newsletter.As was mentioned before, Omega is looking for a way to escape from the prison that she has been put in. Emerie Karr is a clone like Omega. Emerie Karr told Omega in the final episode of Season 2 that she is Omega’s sister. Omega hopes to help Nala Se as well as Crosshairs. It is no doubt that Crosshairs served the Empire, but he believed that he was doing the right thing in serving them. As the viewer knew from Season 2, the empire betrayed Crosshairs and he thought that he was a good soldier. He realized he was wrong, and that the empire only wanted to use him as a tool. Mayday needed medical attention, but one of the officers of the empire refused to help him. He killed that officer because of what happened to Mayday. This is an example of how an authoritarian government does not care about what happens to its citizens or soldiers if they do not do what it wants. If anyone thinks their lives would be better under a king or emperor, that person is delusional at best. It is not. This Season will show that it is not the case.Omega learns from Nala Se that you want to get out of. If Emerie Karr finds out that you have M class blood, then she will tell Dr. Hemlock. This will be bad news for Omega and Nala Se who had been destroying her blood samples to protect her from this happening. Nala Se knew that if this happened, it would be bad news for Omega. Omega must plan her escape to help Crosshairs get out of the prison they are in.Omega and Crosshairs escaped with the help of Nala Se because she gave Omega a pad that allowed her to access codes to get through parts of the facility that is run by Dr. Hemlock. Omega finds Crosshairs, and she goes to the part of the facility where a pet is kept. It is where earlier she helped the animal that she cared for escape. She helps Crosshairs escape. Omega and Crosshairs escape. Omega feels discouraged when the ship they try to steal does not work. Crosshairs remind her that it is okay; we will figure it out. They do, and they both escape the planet.Dr. Hemlock will find out from Emerie Karr that Omega has the M class blood they have been looking for. M class blood can only be one thing. It was mentioned in the Prequels. In the Phantom Menace, the first Star Wars movie of the prequels, was called midichlorians. It was an important factor if an individual possessed the force. This is why the empire wants her to. There will be another reason as well. No, Omega is not the only one they have and wanted.Omega and Crosshairs get to a planet, and Omega is trying to convince a droid to help them get on a ship without chain codes. They must have chain codes to get on a ship. This is where it gets challenging. Omega tries to win money by gambling and playing games. It gets harder. Their pet gets captured, and they must rescue it. One of the Imperial officers knew they were from the planet that Dr. Hemlock was on. Omega and Crosshairs must figure out how to get off the planet. They steal a shuttle, and they escape. They got to the planet, and Hunter and Wrecker found her with Crosshairs. Omega told Hunter and Wrecker; her escape would not have been successful if she and Crosshairs did not work together. With them both working together is why their escape was successful.The season will continue with them meeting up with the Echo on the planet that reminds a viewer of Hawaii. This is where they will go to a planet that is a snowy and ice planet. This planet is like the planet that Crosshairs was on when he lost Mayday. It reminds him of that. As he tells Hunter, the empire betrayed me first. He does not tell Hunter that it was because they would not help Mayday when he needed medical attention. As one of the imperial officers told him, it would be a waste of the empire’s resources if they helped Mayday. This just shows how cold and calculating they are. They feel like they are getting close to the base. They hope they can find it.As Captain Rex told Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshairs, you had better figure out why the empire wants Omega. Your lives will not be safe until you figure out why the empire does want her. Both Captain Rex and Echo found out from a clone that was looking for Omega. A bunch of clones come to take Omega from them. As Captain Rex told them, you cannot do this. You must consider if you are on the right side of history. They let them escape.The season will progress and Phee Genoa is played by Wanda Sykes. Wanda Sykes has been in movies like Evan Almighty. She has a dry sense of humor about her. Her humor is not crude. If you watch her in the Atkins ads, her humor shows up there. It is . Wanda Sykes made fun of Rob Lowe when he was eating a candy bar claiming to lose weight. That was funny. Even in the first episode of the second season of the Bad Batch, she showed that humor there. I will play the ad with Rob Lowe and Wanda Sykes that is an Atkins ad.Phee Genoa said that she could not believe how funny the clones looked. Omega was a special one since she did not look like any of the other clones. Phee Genoa will meet Crosshairs and Crosshairs is under the impression that she does not like him. She does. As Omega told him, she is freeing treasures. In a sense, Phee Genoa is a treasure hunter or a pirate. Phee Genoa is like Han Solo or Lando Calrissian. They were scoundrels or card players or con artists, but they still had a code. They did not like dealing with the empire. Phee Genoa is like that as she does not like the Empire.Phee Genoa tells them if you want to find a place or someone who can help you with knowing what Omega is, you need to find a bounty hunter. Phee Genoa told Hunter and Wrecker that you need to find Fennec Shand. Yes, Fennec Shand, who was in the first season of the Bad Batch, makes an appearance this season. Fennec Shand’s first appearance in Star Wars was in the first season of the Mandalorian, which is a good series. Fennec Shand will help Wrecker and Hunter find out who can help them if they help her. Fennec Shand was also in the Book of Boba Fett, which I reviewed for this channel. They agree to do that, and they help her by catching her bounty. Fennec Shand ends up helping them.The person who finds them is named Asajj Ventress and she is a gray character. She worked for the Separatists, but she wanted to help Omega. Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshairs do not trust her. Assajj Ventress tells them if I told Omega that she could wield the force then I would have to take Omega so she could be trained, and she would have to leave you. You must understand that the empire will not stop looking for her until they find her.Cad Bane is back in this season of the Bad Batch. He made an appearance in the first season of the Bad Batch, and he was in the Book of Boba Fett. He captures a child that ends up later for the empire. He is a bounty hunter, and his only loyalty is money. The empire is paying bounty hunters to find children and take them to experiment with. This is where Emerie Kar finds out what is happening. She is feeling conviction and guilt about what is happening.The season will later progress with Omega getting captured by the empire and taken back to the planet with Dr. Hemlock. She realizes that she must do this to help the people of the planet that reminds the viewer of Hawaii. She decides to go with the clone that was looking for her as well as the stormtroopers. This will cause the Bad Batch to rescue her later.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax and the conclusion of the series.I will give you, my rating; I give the Bad Batch Season 3, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, but it tells an important story. This series does an excellent job of showing the empire’s oppression. The first season I reviewed had the appearance of Saw Guerra. As he told the Bad Batch, yes one war was fought over the separatists, but a new war started. He called it the civil war. It was not considered a rebellion yet. That will not show up later. It was mentioned in the last episode of the Bad Batch. What happens at the end of the series? What is the result of Bad Batch and Omega? What happened to Dr. Hemlock? Who survives? Who does the Bad Batch turn to for help to infiltrate where the planet that Omega was being kept on? Please leave your answers in the comment section below. The series deals well with the oppression of the empire and how the empire has no boundaries in what they can do. There are no checks and balances when you have one individual controlling all the power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.In this video, I will give you my thoughts on the Acolyte trailer that is part of the Star Wars universe. I will watch it with you and give you my thoughts after we watch it together. It is This trailer is awesome. This trailer shows a person who is looking for retribution. This person was a jedi who gets deceived by the Dark side and is convinced that she is doing what is right. This person manipulates her into believing that she must do this. She starts murdering jedi. The one who trained her told the others he must be the one to stop her. She was his student and wanted to find a way to stop her. It reminds the viewer of elements from a thriller. It is like watching a Bosch episode or a Reacher episode. She is looking to check the jedi off like she is checking off a murder board. This has become a game for her, and this will be deadly. One of the things it shows is that it says no one is safe from the truth? What truth do they mean? It is a plot twist, but this is powerful storytelling.Training swords is very similar to how a person learns to wield a sword. As I mentioned before, I did martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do. I took a sword class, and I will bring out the training sword which I have. It is made of wood and that is important for a person to have. You never train a person with a real sword that is made of metal until the master is ready to train them. It is no different with training Jedi to wield a lightsaber. You do not let them use that weapon until they have skills of using the training sword 1st.The individual at the end is very similar to Kylo Ren and reminds him of the viewer. It is awesome. Kylo Ren was taken from Darth Revan. Is Darth Revan ever going to be in Star Wars? That is the question. Do you believe Darth Revan will be in Star Wars. Please leave your answer in the live chat or the comment section below if you are watching this video after the live stream.The Acolyte has a clip where the one that gets deceived by this individual that the Jedi are evil is throwing knives at one of the female jedis. The knives are made from real metal and not from Kyber crystal. There is a book that talked about Jedi using swords made from metal before they were made from Kyber crystals. It is called the Dawn of Jedi which I have right here. I will play the clip to watch. It is .Another trailer that I saw recently is the Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy trailer. I will watch the trailer with you, and I will give you my thoughts on the trailer. I will play it now. It is The trailer is awesome. What I saw in this trailer is that the building blocks of the galaxy are literally falling apart. It is crazy as the Lego Sig says there are X-Wing Tie fighters. It is crazy to say the least. You see Ewok bounty hunters which is not a common theme in Star Wars. The Millenium Falcon looked sinister and not like the ship fans usually expect it to look. There was a fan theory that believed Jar Jar Binks was really a Sith. At the end of the trailer, you see Jar Jar Binks looks like a Sith lord, and he had a red lightsaber instead of the other common ones such as green and blue that are commonly used by the Jedi.What do you think they are trying to do in this Star Wars special? Please leave your answers in live chat or in the comment section if you are not watching this video live. Thank you. It is not supposed to be released until fall. The last Lego Star Wars Special, which was called Summer Vacation, was awesome. We will see what happens in the fall after this special is released on Disney+.Here is a picture of Disney+ and my thoughts of them doing live TV on there. I am not sure; I know other platforms have done it like Paramount+. It will be seen by May 14, 2024, if that works. They are going to play live WNBA games on May 14, 2024, on Disney+.I will start to review all Star Wars movies. I know they have been talking about it. I will bring insight into why I believe they are relevant and give you thoughts on those movies.Please go to this link and check out my newsletter.

This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing The Rules of Threes: A Novella by Jeffrey Deaver. This book is 260 pages long. This is not an exceptionally long read. The story will be about Constant Marlowe, who is a DCI investigator for the state of Illinois. The name of Illinois comes from a name of a Native American tribe. The book will explain this. Constant Marlow is working in Clark Valley to find the BRK killer who has been terrorizing the town of Clark Valley. She works with Frank Tremain and Zo Eventide who works for the Clark Valley Sheriff Department. Frank Tremain is the Sheriff and Zo Eventide is one of the deputies that works for the Sheriff. Zo Eventide is paired with Constant Marlow in finding the BRK killer before this individual strikes again. Zo Eventide and Constant Marlow work well together. Constant Marlow is a female police investigator who works for the state of Illinois. The BRK killer likes females that have dark hair, so the killer is raping and killing these females. This is a person who wants to live in his sexual fantasy and wants to impose his sexual fantasy on his victims. There will be several possibilities of who the killer is. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Thank you.Before I continue this review, remember I will give you an analysis of the text and whatever rating I give you is my opinion. This does not mean that you must agree with me. I never agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her opinion. This is what I do. Whatever rating I give, you need to know it is my honest opinion. I will never lie to you. If you do not agree with me no matter what rating I give you, that is fine with me. This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being a follower of my channel and my newsletter.As was mentioned before the BRK killer is attacking females that have dark hair. This killer is targeting females that are in their 20’s. You would think this killer is an older man. The reason that is the case there is a man that goes by the name of Joseph Ray Whelan. Joseph Ray Whelan is stalking around looking to find someone. The reader will think he is after witnesses that may have seen him. It appears that he is a stalker. A stalker is someone who watches someone, and they are obsessed with that individual.The book will throw twists and turns. What the reader thinks he or she knows, he or she does not know. It is great writing. It is great storytelling when the reader cannot figure out what is going on in the story. Jeffrey Deaver knows how to get the reader to guess what he is doing.Frank Tremain is the Sheriff of Clark Valley, but he is also a forensic scientist. He knows how to break down the evidence at the crime scene. He is good at CSI. He tells Constant Marlow that he had to learn how to do it since there is not enough in the budget for the town for the Sheriff department to hire a forensic scientist or a CSI.The people that saw the killer are the Hope family. The Hope families’ names are Glen Hope, Liz Hope, Tamara Hope, and Erik Hope. It is assumed that since they are witnesses, they must be innocent. That would make sense, but this book does well to make the reader think about that. What you know is what you think you know you do not.Glen Hope is the father of the Hope family and is married to Liz Hope who is the mother of the Hope family. Tamara Hope is the only female child of the Hope Family and Erik Hope is the one of the male children of the Hope Family. There is another male child but is not in the picture. His name is Jason Hope. It is believed that he is dead, but is he? What is the status of Jason Hope. Is he dead or is he alive? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. Thank you.There is a racist group that is called the Eagle Brotherhood, and it is believed they are killing these females. These are not good people, but it does not mean they are the killers. They are looking to scare people that are minorities, and they want to scare Native Americans off their land. This is where this is interesting. The Eagle Brotherhood are modern day Nazis. They do not have death camps, but they still have their philosophy that there is one master race. Their idea is to have the world be of the white race. They want to have people go to Canada. This is where they are not interested in death camps, but they would like their part of the world be of all white people. In their minds to make America great again is to make it white again.There is a man named Bigot with another man who attacks Constant Marlow and Zo Eventide based off the group of Eagle Brotherhood who are a Nazi group in this story. They attack her because they hate the fact that she is with a person who is of a different race or ethnicity. Constant Marlow used to be a boxer before she became a police investigator. She uses those skills to help beat these two men up that are attacking her and Zo Eventide. They don’t want her to use any weapons. They believed they would have her at a disadvantage. What they do not know is that she is good at hand-to-hand combat. She does not have any weapons like a gun or a police baton. These skills will be important.There are people who want to eliminate Constant Marlow and Zo Eventide. They want her to be eliminated because they feel they are getting too close. There is a scene in the book where their car gets pushed into the river by another car. This involves Constant Marlow breaking out of the car and having to rescue Zo Eventide before they both drown. They are lucky to survive based on this attack. The reader concludes that there must be a guardian angel watching over them.Constant Marlow is more determined after this attack. The people who do this believe this will scare her off. All they do is make her more determined to find the truth. She is a bulldog and will do whatever it takes to find these people. There is more than one person in this criminal conspiracy. The BRK killer is not acting alone. The BRK killer has help. Constant Marlow concludes that is the case. This case has a lot of threads and a good detective, given the time he or she needs, can put those threads together. She must solve a puzzle, and each piece needs to fit, so this mystery makes sense.Constant Marlow is in a relationship with Evan Quill, who is a prosecutor. She also trusts him and knows he is good at what he does. He is a straight shooter. He believes in the law and will apply it fairly. He comes to her and helps her with solving the case of the BRK killer. They are in a hotel room. This relationship is not serious. It is a relationship to have fun.Joseph Ray Whelan is going around looking for victims, or that is what the reader thinks. It feels like he is the killer who is rapping his victims. He is not; he is a police detective. He is a bulldog. He is looking for the killer that killed and raped his wife. Joseph Ray Whelan believes he is talking to an innocent person, but that person ends up hitting him with a pipe and crushes his skull and kills him. Believing he is the killer is wrong.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax and leave this book open to a new book to be written.I will give you, my rating. I give the book Rule of Threes by Jeffrey Deaver, an Amazon Original Story, a 10 out of 10. This story is complex and what the reader believes he or she knows, they do not. The twists and turns are good in a mystery or thriller like this. As a reader, the reader wants to have it not predictable. The writer does a good job of having characters that are believable, and characters who appear to be good are not the case. The reader believes that he or she knows who the villain is but does not. Who is the actual killer? Is there one killer or more than one killer? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. Jeffrey Deaver has written other books on Constant Marlow. It is called the Broken Doll series. I have not read them, but if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can read and listen to them for free. That would be part of a Kindle Unlimited subscription. It is good that it comes with an audio version for a person to listen to. If a person travels, having access to an audio version is a plus.Please go to this link and check out my newsletter. There will be a bunch of articles that you can check out on my website.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any reviews at the bottom of this review. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the book While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams. Some background on Stacey Abrams, she was the one that ran for governor of Georgia twice and lost twice to Brian Kemp. She is a state legislator from Georgia. She is an advocate for fair elections and has a playbook on how to save our democracy and our country of the United States of America. It starts with getting people out to vote and understanding that elections have consequences if you do not vote. Please vote this November of 2024 and every election after this one. If you want your government to work for you, you must vote so that it can. I am cautiously optimistic if we do this, it will save our country from going into an authoritarian regime. This book will deal with a president that believes he is above the law and there is a plot to have this supreme court justice dealt with that has been a throne in the president’s side in terms of doing the president’s agenda. This sounds too much like what is happening now in real life. This is happening with the MAGA movement that has penetrated our local up to our federal governmental agencies. I know there will be those out there that will say that I am getting political about this. This is not political. When George W. Bush, who was the last republican president before Donald Trump was not a dictator because he left and did the peaceful transfer to Barack Obama and Barack Obama did that to Donald Trump, but Donald Trump did not do that to Joe Biden. Instead, he led an insurrection against the United States of America. Once their term was up or that candidate lost, they always left the office peacefully. Not until Donald Trump did this happen no matter the party of departing president. Brandon Stokes in this book will have Major Vance working for him to kill Justice Wynn and this is where the conspiracy lies in place. He wants to put another conservative justice so that he can claim to his base that he did this. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Thank you.Rest of Review and Rating of the Book While Justice Sleeps written by Stacey AbramsBefore I continue this review, remember I will give you an analysis of the text and whatever rating I give you is my opinion. This does not mean that you must agree with me. I never always agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her honest opinion. This is what I do. Whatever rating I give, you need to know it is my honest opinion. I will never lie to you. If you do not agree with me no matter what rating I give you, that is fine with me. This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog.As was mentioned before in this review, President Stokes is looking to use Major Vance to get rid of Justice Wynn to get his conservative justice on the bench. He wants to stack the court with his conservative justices. Justice Wynn will find out there is a conspiracy with an American biotech company and an Indian company. Justice Wynn will take a drug that will cause a coma and it will make it, so he does not wake up until someone helps him to do it. Justice Wynn has Boson’s disease which is uncurbable. The merger between these companies may not save him but can save the life of his son Jared Wynn.Nurse Lewis will find him, and she will call 911 to get him to a hospital. This goes against the orders that were given to her by Major Vance who is working for Homeland Security. Nurse Lewis was supposed to let Justice Wynn die, not save his life. This will unfortunately lead to her getting killed by Major Vance.Avery Keene, a brilliant law clerk, will later find out that she has been named Justice Wynne’s caretaker. She is shocked by his decision to do this, but it will become clear to her why Justice Wynn does this. This will cause her to meet Jared Wynn and Celeste Turner Wynne who is Justice Howard Wynn’s estranged second wife. His first wife died years ago. Justice Howard Wynn is from Georgia.Avery Keen will have allies such as Jared Wynn, Noah Fox, and her best friend of Lin who is in the medical field. She is not alone, which is good. Each one of these characters will be beneficial to her. Jared Wynn served in the military and understood how to hack computers and track to see if there were any bugs around. This can mean anything to listening devices and hidden cameras. Noah Fox is an attorney and understands the law. Lin, as was mentioned before, has medical knowledge.Avery Keene will face challenges from Celeste Turner Wynn in the right to have guardianship over Justice Howard Wynn. Celeste Turner Wynn is not worried about her estranged husband’s best wishes. She only cares about one thing, to get lots of money from his death. What she does not know is that Justice Howard Wynn did not leave her any money according to the will he had Noah Fox write for him. He allowed her to do it if Avery did not accept the responsibility but did not allow her to get any money. This will force Avery Keene to accept the role of being Justice Howard Wynn’s caregiver. The person he left his money was to his own son Jared Wynn.The book will have Avery Keene and Jared Wynn going to Jared Wynn’s childhood home in Georgia that he felt when he was close to his father of Justice Howard Wynn. This will lead them to getting shot and they must figure out how they are going to survive this. They do, but it is not easy.They will get back to Washington, DC and they must figure out what their next move is. Justice Howard Wynn has put clues to Avery Keene that are like figuring out a chess game. Avery Keene is a great chess player, and this is up her forte. She must figure out what he means and put together the clues that he left her to find. She is smart and she will figure out this game that he has put in front of her.FBI agent Lee will find out that she is not a criminal. FBI agent Lee is a government servant, and he always wants to find the truth. He is not a sycophant; he always wants to seek justice. This is important. There are good cops and bad cops. He is considered a good cop.The search for Ani will be important. It will help the reader to understand what happened years ago with certain experiments. The experiment that is discovered is that the Indian government was trying to cover up an experiment that was designed to kill Muslims. Anyone that would think that would not be possible. Hitler and the Nazis executed 6 million Jews, so yes this is possible. The Turks killed 75% of the Armenian population. Watch the Promise and rent it from Amazon and you see why I say why I am saying what we humans have done to each other is horrible. I would take my cat’s love of me. Their love is genuine, and I know how much they love me, and I love them. Believe me, we could learn something from our pets. My cats have all loved me, and in return I love them. To me, it has made me a better person. I know that loving my cats makes me love people better. It is hard to love some people, but it is necessary. If they hate me, that is their problem. If we all focused on love more than hate, this would be a better world to live in.Jared Wynn will call Ani a murderer and this is understandable. Since this technology was used to kill Muslims. There are two people that want to make this technology work for the better. One is from North Carolina and his name is Nigel Cooper and the other is from India if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong about that one. If I am, please let me know in the comment section below. It could be cure for Borson’s disease which both Justice Howard Wynn and his son Jared Wynn have. This is where this technology can be used for good.The story will deal with Avery Keene’s mother Rita Keene getting kidnapped by the people who are corrupt working in Homeland security trying to get rid of Justice Howard Wynn by any mean’s necessary. This is where the criminal conspiracy comes into play. This is dangerous and will make it so Avery Keene must decide between her mother Rita Keene or killing Justice Howard Wynn. Avery Keene produces the idea that she will resign Justice Howard Wynn’s position on the court to save her mother.The story will have twists and turns. It will bring the reader to the climax of this story.I will give you, my rating. I give While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells a complicated story. If you listen to the audio version of this book, she will be on the audio version telling the listener that she was rejected several times. She had friends that told her to keep plugging away. There were publishers at the time she submitted this book who said this would never happen. Ironically, it did. When Scalia died and Mitch McConnel held up his replacement because he did not want to hold hearings for Marland Garland. This to me showed me then back in 2016 what Republicans were then. When they decided to support Donald Trump, it told me they were more interested in power, and they were willing to do what is necessary to keep it. The reason the Founding Fathers produced 3 branches of government is they did not want a monarchy. You have right now, people in government that would like to tear down our democracy. If you do not believe me, you can search for the 2025 project. It will read like what Hitler did in Nazi Germany. Brandon Stokes is like Donald Trump who believes that the law does not apply to him. Major Vance also believes that he is a patriot and what he did was necessary to protect the country. This book proves that these people are criminals and are horrible people. They knew what happened in those experiments that killed those people in this book, but they did not care what happened to them. It is good that it comes with an audio version if a person travels. That is a plus. Please go to Amazon to read or listen to the book. Thank you. The paperback versions is cheaper and you get it out this link to check it out.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any videos or blog posts at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reacting and breaking down the official Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer done by Marvel Studios. This movie is set to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024. This is one movie you want to watch in theaters. If you would rather wait for it to be released to Disney+, then do that. If not, watch it in movie theaters. I will be reacting to the trailer. I will have you watch the trailer and give you my thoughts after the trailer. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Here is the trailer now; I will see you after the trailer.The trailer is awesome. I love how Wolverine looks like Wolverine in the comics. Here is an image to prove my point. In the comics, Wolverine was always wearing a yellow suit when he went to fight bad guys. Yes, Hugh Jackman is playing Wolverine again. This makes sense as Marvel paid him a lot of money. Ryan Reynolds is back as Deadpool. Deadpool needs Wolverine’s help to save his world. As said in the trailer, Wolverine’s world went to hell. The bartender was telling Wolverine earlier in the trailer to get out of the bar. It is very similar to the first X-MEN in that the bartender was telling to get out. Wolverine was known to drink beer. Here is a clip of Wolverine drinking beer and being told by the bartender to get out of his bar. This is after someone tried to kill him and he had to defend himself from that attack. The clip will be played right now to prove my point.In the trailer, you can see portals that Doctor Strange has been known to use. This is cool to say the least. One of the characters reminds me of the Ancient One. Yes, the one who trained Doctor Strange before he became the Sorcerer Supreme. Wolverine is that character that says he is not a hero. It is mentioned in Logan, a movie that I reviewed for this channel in this link.If you are wondering, yes blind Al is asking to do drugs. She likes her cocaine. Remember, Blind Al was known to do drugs. Remember in the first Deadpool, Weasel who is played by TJ Miller asks Blind Al if she would like to do some drugs in this link. She says yes to that. She is asking Wade Wilson if he wants do drugs. Wade Wilson tells her at the end of the trailer; it is off limits. One of the slang terms is Forest Bump which makes fun of Forest Gump. Forest Gump starred Tom Hanks and came out 30 years ago back in 1994. That was the year I would have started high school. I finished Eighth grade that year. Hard to believe it has been 30 years since I was 14. She asks him, do you want to build a snow man? You can think of Frosty the Snowman, but this is doing cocaine not building an actual snow man.In the first trailer of this movie Deadpool and Wolverine, the TVA was in the first trailer. You want to watch the Loki series as they are mentioned in the first trailer. You do not see much of them in this trailer, but it is mentioned that Wolverine failed to save his world according to the TVA. Wolverine must help Deadpool stop what is happening. As Deadpool told him, you are the X-MAN. Any person who knows about the X-MEN, normally would think Wolverine. I hope this movie meets expectations.How to Support the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing the movie Morbius that is done by Columbia pictures in association with Marvel that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. Michael Morbius is fighting a blood disease that will eventually kill him if he cannot find a treatment or a cure for it. He is not doing this for himself; he is also helping his friend Milo, whose real name is Lucian. Michael Morbius is encouraged by his doctor whose name is Dr. Emil Nicholas in Greece for him to go into medicine. This is important so that he can master his skills as a doctor. Michael Morbius is looking at vampire bats. This is true to his character as shown in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. The character of Michael Morbius is looking for a cure for blood disease. I will also make a comparison with this to leukemia as that is a cancer that attacks the blood. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help support the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video.

Thank you.Rest of Review and Rating of Marvel’s MorbiusAs was mentioned before, Michael Morbius is searching for a cure for his and his friend Milo’s blood disease. He hopes he can find a cure for it in vampire bats. This is very similar to Michael Morbius in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. Michael Morbius wants to help people with the plague. Michael Morbius hopes that the vampire bats will be the answer he is looking for. This will not be easy. In the beginning of the movie, Michael Morbius is down in Costa Rico, and he is hoping that the answer to his problem is there.Michael Morbius will cut his hand in to attract the bats to him. He is looking to get them transported from Costa Rico to his lab in New York City. Michael Morbius wants to help himself and his friend Milo feel better. He and his friend suffer from this blood disease.This is like Leukemia as well. What Leukemia does is do its worst damage to the blood marrow. This is where this cancer goes, and it makes it hard for the patient to produce the necessary red blood cells. As in the movie, that is what Michael Morbius needs to consume. He needs to consume human blood after he becomes a vampire. Michael will be encouraged to become a doctor thanks to his friend, Doctor Emil Nicholas. Michael fixed the machine that was meant to keep Milo alive. It had a problem and Michael fixed it. This shows how gifted and smart Michael Morbius is. Here is a screenshot of what Leukemia does. Leukemia is a broad term for cancers of blood cells. The type of leukemia depends on the type of blood cell that becomes cancer and whether it grows quickly or slowly. Leukemia occurs most often in adults older than 55, but it is also the most common cancer in children younger than 15.Michael Morbius will be in the hospital helping Anna, who is a young girl that is dealing with a blood disease like his and Milo. Dr. Martine Bancroft will be talking to Michael Morbius about what he is doing with the bats. She tells Anna that Doctor Morbius is in trouble. She tells Michael Morbius that you could lose your license. He tells her that we must do something different. I should have been dead years ago. Why am I not if not to fix this? They find out that the bat DNA he gives to the rat is successful.As stated earlier in the movie, Michael Morbius as a young boy, tells Milo there is something missing from our blood like a piece of a puzzle. That is why we must get an oil change as he calls it. It is like their bodies are not producing enough red blood cells. The machine that Michael Morbius fixes is meant to help them with that.This will lead Michael Morbius talking to his friend Milo about what he discovered. He told him that there is a cure. Milo was teasing him about Dr. Martine Bancroft and told him that you know that you love her and that there is no cure for that. You can tell there is chemistry between Martine and Michael. Michael Morbius is telling his friend Milo that they need to go on a ship, and it must be in international water. This experiment will break rules, and they need to do it there.Michael Morbius will be the test subject of this experiment, and he will use that to help himself and hopefully Milo to get cured of their blood disease. This is not going to be easy, but it is necessary for this to work. Michael Morbius gets the serum injected into his body by his friend Dr. Martine Bancroft. This is where he becomes a vampire.The head of the crew goes down to check it out. This is where Michael Morbius will bust out and he has become a vampire. It worked that it cured him of his disease, but it makes it so that he ends up wanting to consume human blood. Michael Morbius ends up killing them all after one of the crew hit Dr. Martine Bancroft into an object. She is knocked out and is not dead fortunately.Michael Morbius will change back once it is daylight. This is not uncommon to what Michael Morbius did in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. Michael Morbius ends up changing back once the sun comes up. He calls for help once he sees the footage from the video. He will wipe the footage clean.FBI agent Simon Stroud along with agent Rodriguez are looking to figure out what happened to these men. These men were drained of their blood as they find out on the ship. This will cause them to go to New York City to investigate what is going on the boat. They will talk to Dr. Martine Bancroft and have her look at the photos of the men that had their blood drained. She does not know what had happened since she got knocked out by one of those men. Rodriguez asks her, “Do those look like fang marks to you”. As you know, all vampires have fangs according to the myth of vampires.Michael Morbius realizes that he can do things that he could not do before. He realizes he must consume human blood. He drinks artificial blood in the refrigerator. He does not have a choice if he wants to be sure he does consume any more human blood. He also has bat radar which is a natural form of sonar. He can toss a ball and catch his eyes closed. This makes sense as bats are blind, but their other senses like their hearing are intensified.Milo comes to see Michael Morbius while he is dealing with being a vampire. Michael Morbius tells him that you do not want to take the serum. The serum has done something terrible to me. It is a curse. Michael Morbius means that the serum is a curse. This serum has caused him to become something he was not intended to be. He does not want that fate for Milo. Convincing Milo, that is another story. The story will prove it not to be true.The nurse that Michael Morbius works with ends up dead and he is the prime suspect. He is arrested by Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez who both work for the FBI. They have a joint task force with the NYPD. It is not uncommon for that to happen. A book review that I did for this channel called the Killer’s Game talks about the FBI and the NYPD working together, and that is known as a joint terrorism task force. To watch the review of A Killers Game, click on this link at . Both Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez tell Michael Morbius that they are not upset with killing those mercenaries on the ship. We are happy to have them off the chart. They are upset with Michael Morbius killing the nurse. What they do not know is that Michael Morbius did not kill her. Michael Morbius needs the artificial blood so that he does not kill anyone else.Michael Morbius is in detention lockup, and he meets his friend Milo claiming to be his attorney. As Milo tells him, this place is for drug lords and terrorists not for you. We need to get you out of here. As Michael Morbius finds out later that Milo took serum, and he knows this because Milo left his cane in Michael Morbius’ cell.Michael Morbius will break out of the cell and go after Milo. He tells Milo, I told you not to take the serum. Milo tells him why he should not have taken the serum. I do not want to get hurt all the time. Milo, unlike Michael Morbius has taken the life of being a vampire and he tells Michael Morbius, why should they not feel the pain for a change. It is the idea of a person wanting to make others feel what they feel or feel.Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez of the FBI are searching for Michael Morbius. As Simon Stroud said, now he is laying down officers in my city. They are assuming it is Michael Morbius that is killing these people. They will later learn as they get a CCTV camera that Michael Morbius is not killing these people, it is a new guy.Michael Morbius will later go to Dr. Martine Bancroft and ask her for help to help him find a way to stop Milo. He tells her on a bus that Milo took the serum. I must stop Milo and I need your help to do it. Dr. Martine Bancroft has a cat and personally the cat is a nice touch. I loved how the cat meowed at her, trying to get her attention. It was talking to her. I have been a sucker for cats since I have had a cat.The movie will take the viewer through to the end of the story. It will get the viewer to the climax of the story that it is trying to tell.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here.I will give you, my rating. I give Morbius a 10 out of 10. I understand that it did not get rated well, but when I watch this movie, I cannot understand how people do not see how Michael Morbius is true to his character. Just like in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show, Michael Morbius was trying to help those with a blood disease. I will leave a link to sites that I found for leukemia for you to read in the description below in the YouTube video or my blog if you are on my website looking for this information. Leukemia, as I mentioned, will attack the bone marrow and will make it hard for a person to fight an infection as the blood cells are off. There is that piece of the puzzle that is missing that Michael Morbius mentioned when he was a young boy. The piece is missing, and a person cannot put it back together. This inspires Michael Morbius to become a doctor so he can help save his life and his friend Milo. What happens instead is that it ends up turning him into a monster as well as his friend Milo. Michael needs to control this, and he is hoping that he can. There is a joke in the movie about Michael Morbius drinking the reds. This means that Michael Morbius needs that type of blood to stay alive as a vampire. If a person is a wine drinker, you get the joke of which I am. There is red and white wine. There are also red and white blood cells. The white blood cells in one’s body help to fight off infections.Please go to Substack and PatreonPlease go to this link and check out my blog.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be telling you which female stories that I like for International Women’s month. The list will be of females that represent strong female characters and represent that feminine strength that I want to see in a character. A good female character shows grace but knows how to help those when people need that person. Some of the best female characters that I can name are Ashoka, Rey, Kate Bishop, Kamala Khan, and Carol Danvers. I also think of characters like Diana Prince who is Wonder Woman. I may be missing some characters, but I will talk about that more in this episode. There will not be a ton of pictures, the only pictures I will have will be of a story that I talk about. Thank you for understanding. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video. If 10 or more people sign up for Patreon or YouTube memberships at $10 or higher, I will give those people a shirt. This will be a fantastic way for you to support the channel. If you do not want to do that, you can purchase stickers at the bottom of this video or you can go to my website of www.mattacritic9803.com and go to shop and get cool merchandise to help support the channel. Thank you.Rest of my thoughts of Female stories that I like for International Women’s monthA movie that I like to watch is Noelle and I know Noelle is a Christmas movie, but this character of Noelle is doing her best to help her brother Nick become the next Santa. She is showing him the ropes, and he is not getting them. He is not qualified to be Santa as he does not feel that it is his calling. Noelle tells him to take the weekend off. He heard what he wanted to hear and decided to go to Phoenix, AZ to teach Yoga. Noelle will realize that she must make this right. She goes to find him like the parable of the Lost sheep. Noelle will realize that he is not cut out to be Santa. Nick tells her you need to be the new Santa. Noelle grew up in this movie, and she realizes that this is her calling.A series that I like to watch is the Hawkeye series that has Kate Bishop in her debut series, and she is fun to watch. She comes from a well-to-do family. The Bishops are not just rich, they have a lot of money. Despite her wealthy background, she realizes that her family got involved with a man that is extremely dangerous. His name is Wilson Fisk, and he is Kingpin. Kate Bishop with the help Clint Barton will defeat Kingpin and his thugs of the Track Suit Mafia. Kate Bishop will get Clint Barton to trust her and realize that she is right for this life of a superhero. She is talented in fencing, martial arts, and archery. She has a lot of talent. With the help of Clint Barton, she can flip a coin to hit objects. That is very cool.A movie that I enjoying watching is Wonder Woman that came out in 2017. The character of Diana Prince is gracious and strong. She and the character of Steve have a deep connection. She gets to know him and decides to help him. She realizes Ares is stirring the pot to say the least. He is causing humans to want to kill each other. He is the god of war, and this makes this necessary for her to stop him. She realizes that humans are not perfect, but love is the answer, not hate. This will defeat Ares because she chooses love over hate. Steve will die in this movie, but Diana Prince decides what she must do.The series that I like is Parallels. Yes, the three main characters are male, but there is a female character. Her name is Roman. Roman and Victor get transported to another universe while Bilol and Sam get transported to another universe. It is no different in the Multiverse in Marvel and DC where there are different parallel universes where characters have similar characteristics but different outcomes. This is what is happening here. Victor will believe that he is a monster, and this will cause him to self-destruct himself. He is about to go into complete despair, but Roman stops him, and she hugs him, and this causes him to realize he is not alone. This is why Roman is critical. Victor needs her and she makes sure he does not do anything that he regrets. This series only has one season but hopefully it will get a second season.The series that I like is the first season of Ms. Marvel. She is a character that does not take herself too seriously. Kamala Khan will go to the Avengers convention, and she dresses like Captain Marvel. She will gain power. She saves Zoe who dresses like Ms. Marvel, which is what Carol Danvers dressed like in the earlier versions of the character. Ms. Marvel was her old name. This was not done in the MCU, but that is fine. Kamala Khan must go against Kamran’s mother and must stop her and the people who support her before they let something bad happen. Kamran’s mother believes that she and her family can go back home but find out she is wrong. She must stop Kamran’s mother. If they open the portal and release negative energy which can destroy our reality. Kamala Khan must close the portal. She must help Kamran and his powers need to be controlled. This series will have a clip at the end of Season 1 which will lead into the Marvels.The series that I enjoyed watching was the Echo. Echo is a deaf character who is an amputee and of Native American heritage. She had her first appearance in the Hawkeye series. Echo’s real name is Maya Lopez. The actor that plays her is deaf, an amputee and of Native American heritage. Maya Lopez will learn that her pain is not what defines her; it is her heart. She was raised by Wilson Fisk, who is Kingpin. She will grow in this series and realize that defeating Wilson Fisk is not by anger and fear it is with love. She will force Kingpin to face his pain, but he runs from it.A series that I like to watch is Ashoka where Ashoka Tano is looking for Grand Admiral Thrawn. She believes that there are remnants of the Empire looking for Grand Admiral Thrawn. The reason for the republic to be concerned is that Grand Admiral Thrawn is very smart and if he comes back, he can resurrect the Empire and bring those that are loyal to the Empire. She will go to Sabine Wren to help her find out what the device does. If the device needs to be destroyed to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn from returning, it must be destroyed. Ezra was on the Imperial star destroyer in Rebels and was sent with him to another galaxy. Sabine Wren will be concerned with finding Ezra, and this will cloud her judgement. It is understandable that she would want to find Ezra. Ezra helped save Ashoka, but Ashoka sees the bigger picture.The series that I like watching is Secrets of Sulphur Springs. In that series, Griffin Campbell moves to Sulphur Springs, and he meets Harper. Harper is a strong female character. She kicks the locker, and it opens. They later will find a radio that can take people back in time. When they walk in the bunker, that reminds the viewer of a fallout shelter. Fallout shelter is where people go to protect themselves from nuclear fallout. This is important for people to do this. Griffin and Harper get transported to 1990 and when people thought Savannah to be dead, they find out what happened to her. Savannah ends up in 1960, and this is why people thought that she had just vanished. It will make sense. This series has 3 seasons, and it explains what happened to the Tremont property.The movie that I like watching is Marvels. I know there are those that may like it or not. This movie shows how women can save the day but also be the main villain. The Marvels have Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau, and Ms. Marvel goes up against Dar-Ben. Dar-Ben is looking to restore the Cree world of Hala. She wants to make Captain Marvel pay for destroying Supreme Intelligence. She is stealing resources, and it will take Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan to defeat her. There will be a short appearance of Kate Bishop in the movie. That was cool to see.A series that I like watching is iCarly that came out in 2007. I have seen all the first season expect the last two episodes. I like the combination of Carly and Sam in this series. They are fun to watch and use comedy when doing their web series. Yes, this is a fictional series. Freddie is the camera man and the tech guy. He makes sure the feed goes through the computer, so they can broadcast online. Carly lives with her brother Spencer, and he is a struggling artist. Carly shows strength when Spencer doubts, he should be an artist, but she helps him to realize that he cannot give up on his dream.The sequel trilogy in Star Wars starring Rey is a character I like. Rey has a complicated past, but she shows strength, and she knows what she must do. It is the character growth that you want to see in any character. She is one that I like cheering for as she shows the female strength that I like in females. She is gracious but knows the difference between right and wrong. She finds out she is part of a family that is not very well-liked. She ends up being the black sheep of that family.A movie that I recently reviewed, Double Teamed, came out in 2002 on Disney channel which you can watch on Disney+. I enjoy this movie because it shows Heather and Heidi Burge. They must learn to realize that they are meant to be basketball players. They played at a time when women’s basketball was not a phenomenon. It is not until now that people are more likely to watch women’s basketball. They will later play in Virginia and go to play at WNBA. The movie does an excellent job showing that females can play basketball and that they struggle like any person can.Start writing today.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any videos at the bottom of this video. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the Disney Channel Original Movie Double Teamed that is currently on Disney+. To answer the question, why am I reviewing a Disney Channel original movie is that these are quality movies, and they have a lot to say. They usually tell a delightful story, and they are made for kids in mind. It does not mean if an adult watches these movies, they cannot follow them and enjoy them. They can do an excellent job with having a plot but having a message in the story they are telling. The key to any delightful story is having characters that viewers, readers, or listeners can enjoy cheering for. This movie does an excellent job of telling the story of Heidi and Heather Burge. These are two twin sisters who grew up in Redondo Beach, California. This is a city that is outside the Los Angeles area. It is where people who are used to being on the beach, and they enjoy that time. This movie will deal with Heidi and Heather Burge becoming basketball players. They are volleyball players to start off with. I will go over several topics in this episode. I will explain how each of these players grow and become who they are. I will explain how the relationship with Nicky Williams changes and how they will get to know Galen Alderman. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. To view the clips, please watch the YouTube video above to watch the clips.

Thank you.Rest of the Review of Double TeamedThe movie will start off with Heather Burge working out in her room. Her mother Mary Burge says, “I see that the cattle are back.” She wants to drink her coffee in peace, but no such luck. Larry Burge, who is the father of Heather and Heidi Burge gets the girls ready to go to volleyball practice. The girls come down in the same outfit and Heidi is upset that Heather Burge wears the same outfit. Heather Burge is just upset at it as Hedi Burge is. Their mother tells the two girls to pick a number. They do and end up being seven. They end up picking straws and the shortest straw gets to change outfits. Heidi Burge ends up changing her sweatshirt. This movie takes place in Redondo Beach, CA in 1985. This will look different to those that are used to seeing smartphones. Heck back in 1985, you would be lucky if there were cellphones. Most people did not have cellphones at all. You would have to use a pay phone if you wanted to make a call back then.They get to school and end up at Volleyball practice. The viewer can see how Heather Dominates against her sister Heidi Burge. Heather Burge is more into it than Heidi Burge, but it does not mean that Heidi Burge is not talented in sports. Their dad, Larry Burge wants Heidi Burge to be more like his other daughter Heather Burge. How can volleyball translate to basketball? I reviewed Big Shot season 2, which you can watch on Disney+, and that season showed how a volleyball player can play basketball. When a player makes a block, it is remarkably like how a volleyball player can score a point. Ava Navarro in the first episode of that season, blocked Louise Gruzinsky shot and that will be shown later in this movie of Double Teamed.Larry and Mary Burge, the parents of Heidi and Heather Burge, are talking about transferring the twins to a new high school. It is called Palos Verdes High School. It makes sense as earlier before this conversation, Larry Burge was talking to a man that told him that the scouts were looking at his daughter when she was the twins’ age. He was told by that man to get your girls in larger high school where they are more likely to get more exposure. This makes sense. As Larry Burge tells his wife Mary Burge, he gave up making more money at a law firm so that he could be here for the girls. He told her we need help unless you have a rich uncle that I do not know about. The girls will need scholarships. College can be expensive, and most people need help if they want to go to a good school.The girls will get home, and their father Larry Burge tells both Heather and Heidi Burge, they will be going to a new high school called Palos Verdes. He told them that they were tall and athletic and that they had a gift. He explains to them you got your mother’s genes in how she was a great swimmer, and you have that ability in how you can play volleyball. This is understandable as he tells them that they need to get noticed by the college scouts and land a scholarship at a good college. Heidi Burge gets mad and tells them you will not make go to this Palos Verdes High School. Heather Burge is upset but understands.The twins of Heidi and Heather Burge got to this new high school of Palos Verdes. They find out that they love this school. Heidi Burge sees the options this school offers, and she enjoys every minute of it. She finds out that this is good. She decides to want to take Italian for her foreign language. Heather and Heidi Burge are getting starred at because they are so tall for their age. Heidi Burge will meet Zoey, and she helps Zoey with the sign. Heidi tells her that she would like to sign up for Drama camp. She and Zoey hit it off.Heather Burge gets to the gym and takes the stack of volleyballs in the place that allows a person to move several balls. She gets to the gym, and she runs into the coach of the Palos Verdes high school girls’ basketball team. She is unsure about this. He tells her, give it a chance. The coach of the Palos Verdes high school basketball team needs her help as the only talented player he has is Nicky Williams. Heather Burge tells him that she needs to ask her father if he will let her play basketball.Heather Burge with Heidi Burge is talking to their parents at dinner about what happened in school. As Larry Burge, their father tells them, who knew that the adjustment would be this easy. Heather Burge tells her father Larry Burge that she plans to try out for the basketball team. Her father tells her that is a great idea. You will stay in shape and be ready when you get to volleyball season. Larry Burge asks his other daughter Heidi Burge if she did that. Heidi Burge says no she did not. She told him that she was too busy having a life. Heidi Burge tells both her parents of Larry and Mary Burge that she is going to join the drama club and that she got the part of the tin man in the Wizard of Oz. Her mother Mary Burge tells Heidi Burge that is great. Larry Burge wants Heidi to be more like her twin sister Heather Burge and go out for the basketball team.The movie will progress with Heather Burge trying out for the team. Nicky Williams is upset that she is not the star anymore. She lets Heather Burge that this is her team, and she wants to be the only player on the team that is the star. Heather Burge will later block Nicky Williams’ shoot and if you look at it, you can make a comparison in how Ava Navarro blocks Louise Gruzinsky shot in Big Shoot Season 2 episode 1. That ability to block is no different than a volleyball player scoring a point. It is the same motion.The movie will progress, and it will have the viewer find out later that Heidi Burge’s father Larry Burge wants her to go out for the team. After they play basketball, Larry Burge tells her that your future is in sports, not a school play. Heidi Burge blames her sister Heather Burge at first. Heidi Burge tells her twin sister, congratulations I am back in your shadow. I hope you are happy about this. Heather tries to tell her sister that she has nothing to do about this. This was all their dad Larry Burge’s idea for Heidi Burge to play on the basketball team.Heidi and Heather Burge will be at each other’s throats after this happens. They are fighting like sisters are known to do. They need to get over what happened and deal with what it is. That is easier said than done. Heather and Heidi Burge need to put in the socket.They eventually must move thanks to Nicky Williams who was jealous of the two twin sisters of Heidi and Heather Burge coming to play for Palos Verdes High school girls basketball team. This will cause the girls to realize eventually what happened and they will have some growing pains with the team. The team will learn that this is all stupid. The Burge sisters and Nicky Williams will be playing with the rest of the team in New York City, and they learn that they have a lot of work left to do. As Galen Alderman tells the three girls of Heidi Burge, Heather Burge, and Nicky Williams they need to learn to work as a team. Yes, Heidi and Heather Burge learn to have a good relationship with Nicky Williams. As Nicky Williams tells them, you least have parents that are there for you and care enough about you to be there for you. She wishes she had what they had. This is why she was acting out in the movie because her dad is not there. The viewer does not know what happened to Nicky’s mother.The movie will progress with team and the two twin sisters facing challenges. Heather Burge will get her ankle twisted as she was practicing wanting to be the best she can be. She is mad at her sister Heidi Burge having a better game than her that night. Her mother later tells her, there was a swimmer that was always better than me. You must do your best. Do not worry about if there is someone else better than you. Yes, that will happen. When I swam myself, I was not the best swimmer, not by a long shot, but I loved it, and I did my best. When I learned martial arts such as Taekwondo l learned that there was someone better than me, but I always did my best.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. The movie will help the viewer understand what happened to the two twin sisters.I will give you, my rating. I give the Disney Channel Original Movie, Double Teamed on Disney+, a 10 out of 10. It was fun and does an excellent job of telling the story of what happened to the two twin sisters of Heidi and Heather Burge. They do go to play college ball and later professional ball. This happened thanks to the twin sisters of Heidi and Heather Burge because they went to play basketball for Palos Verdes high school. This movie and the women that played basketball helps in showing girls that they can play sports, and they do not have to do just have to go in fields that is expected of them. They can play college ball and professional basketball. If players like Caitlin Clark, who recently broke Pistol Pete Maravich’s scoring record did not have influences such as players that came before her, who knows if the world would have gotten to see her play. She is an awesome player. These girls of Heidi and Heather Burge were awesome talents, and this does not hurt that they existed.Please visit these sitesPlease go to Substack to check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any reviews at the bottom of this video. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Deadpool 2 that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. Deadpool 2 will take place after the first Deadpool. The question is why I am reviewing Deadpool 2, that is simple as Deadpool and Wolverine will come out this year of 2024, and it makes sense to review this movie of Deadpool 2 to help give a refresher. Deadpool will be hired as a contract killer, and he will be after particularly bad people. He will be in China and in other places around the world taking out prominent bad people. In one scene, he was dressed as a stripper, and he killed a person. He had the Whig and everything he needed to have a disguise. This movie will deal with him training as an X-Man and he must learn from Colossus that he needs family and that he must do what he must. He will meet Russell and at first, he does not want to protect the kid, but later, he decides to protect him as this will help in redeeming what happens to Vanessa. He wants to do a slow death from cancer. He will grow in this movie. Yes, he is still the merch with the mouth, and he breaks the fourth wall that he still talks to the audience in this movie. I will make a comparison to the Lizard and explain that later in this episode. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help support the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video or article.

Thank you.Please watch the trailer from 20th Century Studios in the video below:Rest of review and rating of Deadpool 2As was mentioned before, Deadpool feels bad about what happened to Vanessa in this movie. He is smoking a cigarette in this movie, and he shows Logan being impaled by the tree and he is upset at Wolverine. He says, Wolverine rode my coattails with the R rating, and he ups the Anty by dying in that movie. He says, ‘ guess what, I am dying in this movie as well. He tells the audience; “I want to see what I can do to die.” He throws the cigarette in the gas, and it blows up with Deadpool and his body apart. Because of his mutation, he can grow limbs. If you think about it, this is like the Lizard in Spider-Man. Why the Lizard? That is simple as Lizards can grow limbs back. If it loses its tail, it can grow it back and that is why the Lizard did in Spider-Man. Doctor Curt Connors lost his arm in combat, but he uses Lizard DNA to help grow his arm back. It backfires as it turned him into the Lizard and made him into a monster. This would be considered a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation. The Deadpool will feel bad about what happened to Vanessa.Deadpool was with Vanessa after he had his adventure with killing. This is after he talked to Dopinder about Dopinder becoming a contract killer. Dopinder tells Deadpool that he would like to become a contract killer like him. He tells him that you have a purpose. I want to be your Kirsten Dunst to Tom Cruise like in Interview with the Vampire. Deadpool told Dopinder, “Let’s never speak of this.” Dopinder told Deadpool, you are my Tom Cruise. Deadpool tells Dopinder that you are my Kirsten Dunst. He goes into the apartment and sees Vanessa.Vanessa tells Wade Wilson that the baby factory is open for business. This is after Wade Wilson gave her the Skee ball token. That is the reference to the first movie when Wade Wilson and Vanessa played Skee ball. Vanessa gave him the IUD, which is a device that keeps her from getting pregnant until she is ready to do so. This is when she tells him that the baby factory is open for business. This means that Vanessa can get pregnant. Wade Wilson tells her, “I want a little boy or a little girl.” To him, it does not matter. He is afraid of being a father because of his father, but Vanessa tells him that kids help us to be better than we used to be. Kids give us that chance. She is right that it is a choice in who we decide we want to be in this world.Vanessa is right, that it is a choice. I do not have my own kids, but if I did, I would do my best to be a good father to them. It is that I just have not been lucky in finding the right woman. Wade Wilson and Vanessa were lucky to find each other. It is hard to find love, and you must be willing to stay with it. The viewer can tell they are right for each other and that is hard to find.All this gets ruined when someone breaks into Wade Wilson and Vanessa’s apartment. Wade Wilson tells Vanessa to get down. She does, and he kills all of them expect one of the assailants. He misses it and hits the person with the cheese spreader. That person ends up killing Vanessa and Wade Wilson will jump out of the window and chases that person. That person gets away, but he later ends up being hit by a car. Wade Wilson pulls him out of the car, and he pulls him against him, and they get in front of a truck, and it kills him, but Wade Wilson survives.The credits will start off with the feeling of a James Bond movie. It was the feeling that a viewer would see Deadpool 2 and the music of how a James Bond movie would start. Just like in the first movie, it has credits written by real villains. Choreography by Blind Al. It is the movie’s way of making fun of itself. It is good that it does this. It will get the viewer back to the story.Wade Wilson will be at Blind Al, and he is looking for a reason to die. As Blind Al tells Wade Wilson that you will probably do something stupid, knowing you. Wade Wilson tells her, yes Al, you are right, I am going to do something stupid. He puts on his mask after saying that. He is in his Deadpool suit, and this is where it will take the viewer to the beginning of the movie, and he throws the cigarette in the gas barrel.Wade Wison will be at X-MEN mansion, and he will be dressed in clothes thanks to Colossus. As Colossus tells him, you need family; you cannot afford to be alone. He has survivor’s guilt about what happened to Vanessa. As Colossus told him, you need to get over what you are feeling. Wade Wilson says, you think the studio would have thrown us a bone and given us another X-Man. The viewer will see Beast, and Beast will close the door to the room. Colossus puts Wade Wilson against the wall to knock some sense into him. He needed to be reminded that he is not alone, and he needs to get over his guilt. Colossus tells him that his heart is in the right place. You have a good heart. Wade Wilson hugs Colossus after he tells him that.Wade Wilson will be sitting with Cerebro on his head, and he tells Colossus that it smells like Patrick Stewart. This is where the movie makes fun of the other X-MEN movies and itself. Wade Wilson tells Colossus; you have a mission. Wade Wilson later learns that Colossus wants them to go with them. It is hard, but Wade Wilson will get in his Deadpool suit. He later meets Russell at a facility that was torturing these kids that are mutants. This so-called Doctor tortures these kids that are mutants. The X-Men are going to help deescalate the situation. Deadpool realizes what this kid tells him after he stops him from hurting people. He realizes he cannot let this kid go back to these people. He shoots the people after calling one of them Jared Kushner. Colossus will later jump on and tells Wade Wilson, you are not judge, jury, or executioner. Wade Wilson tells Colossus that this kid is abused; you can always tell. I fight for what is right, and sometimes that means you must fight dirty. He is right, sometimes there is no choice but to do what you need to do. Colossus is disappointed.Wade Wilson and Russell later get transported to the Ice Box. This is a better scenario than Russell going back to that man that is hateful individual. This so-called doctor would remind me of those white supremacists. There were these schools that were supposed to take the Indian out of the Indian. I mean Native Americans. A good example would be in 1923, which I reviewed for this channel. I mentioned in that series, white people who used religion tried to take the Indian out of them. They considered them evil. This person in this movie is doing it with these kids who are Mutants and telling them there is something wrong with them.Wade Wilson will later meet Cable at the Ice Box. He told the kid earlier, without my powers, I am Hawkeye with a bow and arrow. His only superpower is cancer. Wade Wilson will wonder why Cable with the winter solider arm is after him. This makes fun of a lot of the different Marvel content. Cable and Wade Wilson will have a fight. Cable will tell Wade Wilson; he is from the future. He asks Cable, is a dupe step still a thing. Cable tells him dupe step is for pussies. Wade Wilson, you are so dark, are you sure you are not from the DC universe. This will cause Wade Wilson to be thrown out of the prison, and he will have the collar off. He is in the water, and he will try to get to Vanessa in the spiritual realm, but she tells him that his heart is not in the right place. She tells him that kids give us a chance to be better than we are. He realizes that he needs to rescue the kid.Wade Wilson will be in his Deadpool suit and with Weasel his friend that works at the bar. He and Weasel will be working toward getting the X-Force together. This team will have characters such as Vanisher, Domino, and other people that are on his team. They will have Peter that has no power on the team. They will go after the convoy that is transporting the prisoners from the Ice Box to another prison. This will end in a disaster as most of the team ends up dead expect Deadpool and Domino. Deadpool will run into Juggernaut. Juggernaut will break his legs after Deadpool mentions each issue that Juggernaut has been in such as in a Thor comic. He will later grow his legs back like the Lizard does in Spider-Man in how he grows his limbs back.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here; it does bring the viewer to the climax of this story.I will give you my rating, I give Deadpool 2, a 10 out 10. I know there are people that like it and those that hate it. I personally believed that this movie was done well, and it was a fun movie to watch. It does well in Deadpool breaking the fourth wall. He had a scene with Cable when Cable told Deadpool that he had one charge to get here and one to get back home. Deadpool will tell him that he says that it is lazy writing. The movie does well in making fun of itself and stays true to Deadpool’s character.Please help support the Channel and NewsletterPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway, Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any videos at the bottom of this video. Thank you. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Marvel’s Deadpool that was done by 20th Century Fox and is currently on Disney+. When Disney bought Fox, it gained the rights to the X-MEN and Fantastic Four characters. They also got access to the unedited versions of the Star Wars movies. It is a question of whether people will get to see that, but that can be explained in another episode. Deadpool is known as the merch with the mouth. Why am I reviewing Deadpool? Because the movie Deadpool and Wolverine will come out in theaters in July of this year of 2024. I already reviewed Logan on this channel. Deadpool is also a character that breaks the fourth wall. He talks to the audience and likes She-Hulk which I reviewed for this channel; he knows that he is a character in someone else’s story. The reason he is called the merch with the mouth, is like Spock would have said in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is that he uses colorful metaphors. This means Deadpool uses foul language. He is known for cursing. He will say words like motherfucker, f**k, and s**t. This is his character. When he was done in X-MEN Origins: Wolverine, his mouth was sewn up and people got mad at Fox for doing that. It looks like Marvel Studios in the trailer of Deadpool and Wolverine are going to keep Deadpool as he was in the first two Deadpool films. He knows he is talking to the audience. In the first Deadpool film, Deadpool will talk to the audience, and he is after Francis for ruining his good-looking face. Remember Wade Wilson got cancer, and he must get treatment to help with that. Mutation is the only thing that saves his life. It made him ugly, but he is alive. He escapes from Francis as Francis planned to sell him as a super slave to be used by other countries. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help support the Channel and the NewsletterPlease consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video if you are watching it on YouTube.

Thank you.Please watch the trailer for Deadpool right here below:Rest of Review and Rating of DeadpoolWade Wilson is fighting with the people on the interstate. This movie makes fun of itself, as produced by Asshats. Directed by overpaid Toole. This movie is not meant to be serious, and this is good. He will be with the cab driver and is looking to find Francis. As he shows the cab driver, Francis made him look ugly, and he wants to make Francis pay for that. He tells the cab driver to let him off here. He told him he would give him a high five as he does not have his wallet while he is working. It will leave a bulge in his pants when he has a wallet in it. Deadpool gets out and he will jump off the bridge once he sees the car that he is looking for. It will cause it to go into another car, and it will have a lot of other cars to get damaged on the interstate. Wade Wilson is after Francis. He kills the other man. He shoots 12 bullets. He makes a joke in the air while in the SUV. Did I forget to turn the stove off? How many of us have done that? I will have that feeling that I left the cooktop on and realize later that I did not do more times than not. He will throw one of the men on top of the highway sign and that will kill person on the impact of that hit. There is a scene where Deadpool will put the 2 swords in one of the men. He will say to the audience; my boyfriend told me that this was a superhero movie. He is acting like one of the girls. He says, “I am not a superhero. He has always operated on the gray. In the ultimate Spider-Man, which you can watch on Disney+, Spider-Man tells Deadpool, you are a mercenary. He is. It is simple.He will later flashback the viewer to before he becomes Deadpool. Wade Wilson was in the military, and he served in the Special Forces. If the viewer thinks about this, Wade Wilson is a play on Slade Wilson who is Deathstroke, and he served in the military as well. He is a mercenary like Wade Wilson. Both are good with guns, and both are good with swords. That is ironic when you think about these two characters. Wade Wilson is Marvel’s version of Slade Wilson. They both deal with death. They are both known to be killers. Wade Wilson is not going to be like Spider-Man or Bat Man who will not kill his or her enemies. Both Deadpool and Deathstroke tend to kill their enemies. Yes, Deathstroke tends to be a villain, but he is a gray character himself. He is not always a villain. Both Deadpool and Deathstroke can be antiheroes.Wade Wilson will be with his friend Weasel, played by TJ Miller. Why does TJ Miller sound familiar? He is familiar as he was in Big Hero 6 and played Fred who ends up being the son of a superhero. His dad will talk to Fred and tell him at the end of the movie that we have a lot to talk about. TJ Miller was in Transformers: Age of Extinction, and he played well in that movie. Weasel will help his friend Wade Wilson. He is a bartender in this movie. Wade earlier helped a girl with a stalker, and he threatened to kill this guy, if he did not leave her alone. While in the bar, he meets Vanessa and his relationship with her will start from there.Wade Wilson will be with Vanessa for quite some time. He and Vanessa have great chemistry. The viewer can see that. Wade Wilson will ask Vanessa to marry her when it is Christmas. He will look at her and pass out. He later is at the doctors, and the doctor tells him that you need to get treatment. Vanessa tells Wade Wilson; we can fight this. Wade Wilson tells her that he has cancer in the brain, lungs, liver, and prostate, all things I can live without. No, he needs to have those to live with. I can relate to this as my mother had breast cancer in 2001 and is a cancer survivor.The one that looks like Agent Smith comes to the bar and asks Wade Wilson if he wants to get help and become a superhero. Wade Wilson rejected him at first. He realizes he needs to get treatment for his cancer. He decides to do this for Vanessa, so she does not have him as a corpse. He will go there and meet Ajax as he likes to call himself. Ajax is funny as he got that from dish soap. Wade Wilson will find out his real name is Francis. As he told one of the other patients named Cunningham at the hospital, there is no way his real name is Ajax, he got that from dish soap. Ajax can also be used as a powder as well as dish liquid. Wade Wilson made a joke about not making the suit green or animated. As viewers know, he was making fun of a movie that Ryan Reynolds starred in called the Green Lantern. Green Lantern was slammed by critics. It was a bad movie.Wade Wilson will later get turned into the uglier version of himself. The stress that he was put through caused him to mutate. As Ajax tells him, he must put Wade through this stress for you to mutate, or if that does not work, you will die. He injected him with a serum that was going to cause his mutant gene to become active. He will later escape from there. Wade Wilson will call him Francis. Francis wanted to sell them as slaves to be used by their buyers.Wade escapes from there and he encounters Vanessa. He sees her but does not encounter her. He hears people talking about him while he keeps the hood up to be sure no one sees him. He is afraid that Vanessa will not accept him. This is like when Ben Grimm in the 2005 version of Fantastic Four wanted to see his wife and when she does; she runs away from him as she cannot accept how Ben Grimm looks. This is different as Wade Wison avoids Vanessa and does not approach her.Wade Wilson will encounter his friend Weasel, and this will be where he will show him what he looks like. Weasel will tell Wade Wilson; it cannot be that bad. Wade Wilson shows him, and Weasel says you look like an avocado. Weasel also tells Wade Wilson; you also look like Freddy Krueger. You can star in your own horror movies. Weasel also tells Wade Wilson that you should wear a mask. Weasel tells Wade Wilson you need to produce your own code name. One name came up such as scare devil which makes fun of daredevil. Captain Deadpool. No, just Deadpool.Wade Wilson makes his costume. The suit will be white to start with, but later it will be the red suit that fans know it to be. It is remarkably like how the 2002 version of Spider-Man had Tobey Maguire in a different Spider-Man costume, but it will be the ones that fans expected that costume to be. In the white suite, Deadpool gets blood on it, and he is told by the blind woman named Al at the laundromat to use lemon with Selzer water to get blood out or wear red and she calls him a d*****s.Wade Wilson later creates the red suit, and he will be looking for his enemies. He will later catch us up until he gets in the cab with Dopinder. He will later get us to Al and tells her that you are blind after she tells him that love is blind. Wade Wilson does not have any faith that he will get Vanessa back since it looks like he does. He makes the joke; did Ryan Reynolds get where he was without his good looks? He says no to that.The movie will progress, and Stan Lee will have a cameo in the movie as he is playing a DJ in a strip club that Vanessa is working at. Angel Dust, who is played by Gina Carano, will be with Francis and they will take Vanessa prisoner.Deadpool will get help, and he will pack up all the guns. He puts them in his backpack. He later will get help from Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead. It is a play on words like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It will lead to a battle that will be epic.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this movie.I will give you, my rating. I give Deadpool 10 out of 10. It was fun and this movie honors the character of Deadpool. He is the merc with the mouth. He breaks the fourth wall as he talks to the audience. He knows that he is a character in a story. It is remarkably like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when he talks to the audience. He is like Deathstroke that they both can kill with a sword and a gun. Wade Wilson is forgetful, and he needs to figure out his path. It is a typical struggle for a character. He will figure out that love is blind and if a person genuinely loves you, they will love you no matter what.Please help support the Channel and NewsletterPlease go to this link and subscribe to my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway and as you noticed I am wearing headphones like this microphone I have requires me to wear them.

In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing the audio version of Star Wars: Stories of Jedi and the Sith by Disney Lucasfilm Press. Copyrighted in 2022 that you can get to amazon or get to your local library. This story came out at the time when the Obi-Wan Kenobi series was released on Disney+. I reviewed this series on my channel. These are collections of stories of Jedi and the Sith that go from the Prequels to the Sequel trilogy. Each chapter in this book is short stories, and they tell a story from the perspective of time and space that it takes place in that story. I will explain each story in various parts of this episode. These will have stories from Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and it will have one going to Rey as well. This is an excellent listener, and it does have a book to read, if you want to read that as well. I will leave a link to that in the description below. Thank you. I will give you my rating of these short stories at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to say thank you to those that signed up for Patreon as it is an excellent way to help support the channel.

Thank you.Rest of Review and Rating of Stories of Jedi and SithThe first story starts with a young boy wanting to be a Jedi, but he lived below the ground. He was considered vermin and not worthy of any status. This is something he wants to change and hopes to become a Jedi. He was considered a thief and a girl who was the same age as him. The girl and the boy are both 14 years old. She tells him that you must do more to prove that you are a jedi. The boy feels he must prove something and hopes he can prove it to Master Yodi. He sees Master Yodi, but the Jedi Temple guards are after criminals that came from underground. He runs as he is afraid; they will arrest him if he stays. He runs and gets clothes from a shop that makes him look like a Jedi. He confronts the criminals trying to take the same 14-year-old girl and rescues her. She thanks him and later she stands up for him when the temple guard wants to arrest him. Master Yodi tells the boy when he thinks that it is not a rubric that makes a Jedi; it is the desire to learn. Master Yodi tells the girl that he will be your student. The girl and the boy ironically both come from the underground. They have a lot in common, and this will be an interesting relationship.The second story will consist of Qui-Gon Jinn, and he was sent by the Jedi Council to help with the recovery of a young Jedi that has lost her way. He must go to this planet and rescue her. Ironically, Qui-Gon Jinn is lost as he is upset with his old master, Count Doku, who strayed from the path. He must figure out how to not let this cloud his judgment. This will not be easy for Qui-Gon Jinn, but he must do this. This girl depends on him to rescue her. He must deal with a queen that is difficult to deal with. He gets help, but he is betrayed by one of the queen’s soldiers. He must figure out how to get her out. He does, and the story will end the way the reader thinks it will.I may not remember all the stories in order as this had 12 chapters. This book contains 11 different short stories in this book. This is understandable as I may not remember the exact order of this book. This may be the third or fourth story in this book. One of the stories consists of an adventure that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi take. They are on this planet, and they stumble upon a girl and a boy who are stranded and are about to be killed by the droid army. They rescue this girl and her younger brother who is 6 years old and is telling his older sister that he can sense his family. He tells her he can sense where his parents are. She tells him that Mom and Dad are dead. There is no hope in finding them. She believes that her brother cannot possess the force since he is not a Jedi. Anakin Skywalker believes the 6-year-old boy and encourages Obi-Wan Kenobi; we must look for their parents. Obi-Wan Kenobi tells the girl that the force resides in all living things. It is possible to think this boy may be right about this. Both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker agree; this is worth the risk, and they must find the parents of these 2 children. They find the children’s parents and rescue them. This story proves that no one is too young to make a difference. It is good that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi encourage the 6-year-old boy that he is not too young to do so. This is a lesson for the older sister as one is never too young to make a difference. This is the lesson that this young girl learns. If I had to guess her age, I would say she is at least 14 years old. The girl reading this story sounds old.This may be the fourth or fifth story in this book. This is where one of the jedi is doubting why the Jedi are fighting in the clone war. This story is about the battle of Genesys. This Jedi has nightmares about this battle. It is understandable that she has a PTSD. She wonders if it makes sense for the Jedi to be fighting in the clone of war. As one of the other Jedi tells her, if we do not stop the separatists here, it will only create more problems for the galaxy. She must trust that Jedi is on the right side of history here. It is not easy, but one must do what is necessary. She may understand what she must do, but she still has doubts about the Jedi fighting in the clone war.This may be the fifth or sixth story in this book. Darth Maul is searching for the Sith Temple. The Sith Temple has powers and artifacts that he could use to destroy his enemies. He is having visions of others that are dead. He did not die against Obi-Wan Kenobi in that battle on Naboo. He is alive. This is also explained in Rebels why he is looking for the Sith Temple. He believes if he can destroy his enemies, this will vindicate what happened to him. He wants to destroy Obi-Wan Kenobi and his old master, who is now called Emperor Palpatine. He sees Qui-Gon Jinn, and Qui-Gon Jinn tells him what will happen when you get your revenge. Will this be it, or will there be a new enemy? Revenge is an addiction, and it is a poison as it will poison your heart, and you will always want another enemy to destroy. This is the lesson this story teaches.This may be the sixth or seventh story in this book. Darth Vader searches for a rebel amongst the Empire on a planet that the Empire needs to funnel their military operations. Darth Vader is upset amongst the imperial officer who oversees this operation. He tells her, “You have an insurgent amongst you.” She tells him that it is impossible. She tells him she would know if any insurgent existed amongst them. Darth Vader tells her, you lack imagination. Darth Vader looks for the rebel insurgent, and he encounters a creature that is half a cat and half a dragon. Darth Vader kills that creature before that creature can kill Darth Vader. Darth Vader encounters the insurgent, and it is a teenage Wookie. Wookies can live to be 200 years old. She could be 50 years old and considered a teenager. She works to destroy the dam to disable the Empire. She has a fight with Darth Vader. It will be a challenge, but it is possible. She, with the help of the Rebels, will do just that in terms of destroying the dam and hurting the Empire in the process. Darth Vader will be mad to say the least.This may be the seventh or eighth story in this book. Luke Skywalker will be on the planet called Hoth, and he is with a guy that is hard to deal with. This story takes place between New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. He thinks that all Jedi causes more problems than they solve. They get trapped when ice falls and in a cave in, although Luke does not have his light saber as it was being treated for pathogens. That is understandable. The Rebel Alliance does not want any pathogens that can harm life on the planet. Luke Skywalker feels that might have helped him if he had access to his weapons. He must use the force to get them out of the cave in. Luke jokes that this guy never smiled in his life. He was one of those that is serious and could never make a joke or even laugh. This is a fun and funny story. The reader will enjoy this story.This may bey eighth or ninth story in this book. Emperor Palpatine sits in his throne room on the Death Star as this will take place at the time of Return of Jedi. He can remember the scene back in Revenge of the Sith when he fought Master Yodi. Master Yodi thought he could take him on, but this is a mistake as Master Yodi learns that he is stronger than he thought. Master Yodi later flees to his home in Dagaba. It will return to the scene in Return of Jedi, and he tells Luke that it is his time to die as he will be going into forever sleep. Luke tells Master Yodi, you cannot die. Master Yodi tells Luke, “Strong am I with the force, but not that strong. That is the way of things, the way of the force.” Yodi warns Luke not to underestimate the powers of the emperor. He lets Luke know that there is another Skywalker. The emperor is in the throne room will sense that Master Yodi died and Yodi will appear in front of the emperor. This is right before Luke and Darth Vader come into the throne room. The story will end here.This is the eleventh story of this book. Poe and Rey are on supply run for the Resistance. They are getting supplies such as clothes and food to help the resistance be able to eat. Poe and Rey are arguing about a fruit that Rey had on Jocko. During the argument, BB-8 gets taken by insurgents that live on the planet. They must rescue BB-8, and this will force them to work together if they want to save BB-8. This is where Rey and Poe must learn to trust each other. It will not be easy but a valuable lesson to learn.I will give you, my rating. I give Star Wars: Stories of Jedi and the Sith by Disney Lucasfilm Press copyrighted in 2022, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, and it does an excellent job of connecting the Star Wars Universe and helping to fill out plot points that needed to be answered. The Prequels needed this help, and the stories helped to do this. It also does not hurt the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy that these stories do this. You understand these characters better than the reader did before they read this book. It does help this comes with an audio version if a person travels or prefers to do it that way. This book is a fun collection of stories that tell remarkable stories and the person who reads or listens to them will not be disappointed.Please help support the Channel and the NewsletterPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I begin this review, please subscribe to this channel, and hit the notification bell to be notified of any reviews at the bottom of this video or blog post. Thank you. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing The Marvels on Disney+ done by Marvel Studios. I will go over several topics in this episode. The movie will begin with Dar-Been played by Zawe Ashton. She has a weapon commonly used by Cree. It was used by Ronan the Accuser in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie. It has a flat edge on top and can be used to fire off energy as well as wields like a sword for example. In one of the pictures that will come up, it will have Dar-Been holding the weapon down on the ground like a walking stick. Moncia Rambeau refers this weapon to be a hammer, and that was my thought as well. It is called Universal weapon as mentioned by Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel in the movie. Dar-Been is after planetary resources to replenish Hala after Captain Marvel destroyed the Supreme intelligence. Dar-Been was calling Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers the annihilator. She is wearing the bracelet that is like Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel’s bracelet. Dar-Been told the Cree their goal must be to help restore Hala at all costs. The holes that she is making in space and time are having consequences. In the movie, they compare fracking to how it can cause quakes but in space. This is a revenge quest for Dar-Been as she wants to make Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel pay. Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel will learn from Monica Rambeau that it is okay not to be perfect. She thought she had to fix everything herself, but she did not. Kamala Kahn with Monica Rambeau will help to show Carol Danvers does not have to do everything herself. This review will set out to prove that they do become The Marvels in this movie. This review will also prove that a war over resources is not new. This has been fought for centuries in human history. I will leave a page from Wikipedia about a resource war. Here is a quote From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:A resource war is a type of war caused of conflict over resources. In a resource war, there is typically a nation or group that controls the resource, and an aggressor that wishes to seize control over said resource. This power dynamic between nations has been a significant underlying factor in conflicts since the late 19th century.[1] Following the rise of industrialization, the number of raw materials an industrialized nation uses to sustain its activities is heightened.[2]I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please help support the Newsletter and the ChannelI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon. It is important to have those sign up for Patreon as it is a wonderful way to support the channel, but you as the patron take an active role in this channel. I have an ongoing challenge for you. If 50 or more people sign up for Patreon at $10 or higher, I will hire a video editor to help with my videos. This will help improve the content on the channel and this means you will help me in this endeavor. If 50 or more people sign up at $10 or higher, I will make $500 or higher a month for this channel. This will be a great benefit, and it will help me in doing the things like hiring a video editor. Even if you are a patron, if you decide to sign up at $10 or higher, you will get the benefit of once I reach 50 or more people to sign up at $10 or higher, I will also give you a shirt as well as hire a video editor once I reach that threshold of 50 or more people signing up for Patreon. You want to do this as this will help you get better content, and you will have a say in the content that I create. Please consider doing this as soon as possible. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating of the MarvelsA good example of a resource war is the fight over oil. The war in Kuwait is a good example of this. Iraq invaded Kuwait over oil and at the time the United States had to protect their interests. Even today, most people use cars that use gas. It will be 20 to 30 years before; most people will be driving electric vehicles, and it will not require oil. Chances are there will be a resource war over lithium. It is considered a rare earth, and it must be mined to find it. As long as greed exists, this problem will exist. This happens in Marvels as Dar-Been is looking to steal air, water, and any other resources from people to give to her people. She believes that she has the right to do this, and in the process to make Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel pay.Dar-Been needs two bracelets to have the power that she craves to do what she needs to do. She will steal air from the Skrulls when they were on Tarnax and she will later go to a planet called Aladna that reminds the viewer of Hawaii. The inhabitants dress like Hawaiians do and they sing, and those individuals must sing. Prince Yan can sign, but he also can talk like the rest of them.Kamala earlier in the movie will be fantasizing and drawing her comics and it will be like Middle School: Worst years of my life. I mentioned this in the Ms. Marvel reviews that I did for this channel. She has an imaginative mind. She sees things and they tend to come to life. She wants to make a difference and has a big heart. She wants to help as many people as she can. When she is on the planet Tarnax where the Skrulls, she wants to save everyone, but Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel tells her; we must save who we can. The planet was going to collapse, and they needed to get out of there with how they had it. That is true. Dar-Been in this situation is taking the air from the Skrulls. She claimed they come in peace, but it was a rouse at best as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel tells them.Earlier in the movie, Kamala Kahn gets transported to the space station in Monica Rambeau’s place and they must figure out what is going on. Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel gets transported to Kamla Khan’s room, and this is where the fun begins. It is fun for the viewers watching the not for the people going through this. They must figure out what is going on. It keeps getting them transported until they get to Tarnax. This is where Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel along with Monica Rambeau with Kamala Khan will be fighting to save as many Skrulls as possible on Tarnax. Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel asks Valkyrie for help. Valkyrie tells Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel; it looks like you finally have a team. Not by design as Carol Danvers tells Valkyrie. Valkyrie tells, her; I have been on plenty of teams that were not by design. It does not mean you can stand tall without standing alone. Valkyrie takes the Skrulls to a place where the Asgardians are staying.Please watch this clip of the switch-up:Kamala Khan told them that Dar-Been had a bracelet like her and Carol tells Kamala and Monica that the bracelet is called a Quantum band. Carol thought it to be a myth, but now seeing it shows that it is not a myth. Carol Danvers along with Monica Rambeau, and Kamla Khan put on the Skrull torture device that is an easter egg to Captain Marvel. It was used on her by Talos to help her and show her that the Cree stole her memories and made her into their weapon in the movie Captain Marvel. They go back and find clues they need to see. They go back to when Monica Rambeau lost her mother to cancer. Monica Rambeau was blipped and when she came back, her mother was no longer there. This is when Monica Rambeau decided to take it off as the memories are painful. After they take off the Skrull torture devices, Kamala goes to Monica and gives her a hug. She encourages Carol to do the same thing.Back to Aladna, the prince of Aladna will help Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau, and Kamala Khan with getting the suits they need for battle. The prince of Aladna refuses to yield to Dar-Been. This is the right move. The Cree were ruthless and why would they want to go back to the Cree? Dar-Been will use the universal weapon with the Quantum bracelet to open holes in space and time to travel to various parts of the Galaxy. She is stealing the water like she did with air on Tarnax. Kamala Khan will learn how to use the suit as she flicks the scarf and acts as a weapon. She learns to use her powers as well. Dar-Been is after the water. Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel wants to stop her, but Kamla Khan presses a button and sends them to a planet that is a desert planet. Kamala Khan told Carol Danvers that she was only doing what she did on Tarnax. She told Carol Danvers; “I cannot let them get my bracelet.” This is where Carol Danvers let us know along with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan that this is happening because of her. She told Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan that the Cree on Hala were controlled by an artificial intelligence called the Supreme Intelligence. She destroyed the Supreme Intelligence because she thought it would set them free, but it made it worse. It caused the planet to go into a civil war, and they lost their air and water. They had to wear masks earlier in the film before Dar-Been stole the air to get for Hala. She told Monica Rambeau that she could not come home until she fixed this. Monica Rambeau told Carol Danvers that it is not how family works. I did not want you to be the mighty Captain Marvel; I wanted you to come home. This where both Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan helped Carol Danvers realize that she does not have to this on her own. They need to work together to fix this and make it better.The Marvels will get to the space station, and Nick Fury will tell them that they have been having problems with little devices around the station of Saber. Saber is being disabled by these devices. They must figure out how to get these people off. Goose will have other cats that have tentacles inside. Just like real cats, they have a litter. Cats in real life are a little bitter and can have multiple cats at once. This happens to dogs as well. This will be good as they can use these cats to be able to transport the crew. They will eat the crew, which will allow them to transport multiple people at once. This will work to their advantage.Please watch this clip of letting the Flerkens eating the crew:Monica Rambeau will tell Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, and Nick Fury that Dar-Been is after our sun. She wants to extract the energy of the sun to restore the sun of Hala. Nick Fury will take the family of Kamla Khan down to the planet along with the cats. They get to Manhattan looking on to Statue Liberty.Monica Rambeau along with Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel must stop Dar-Been. The battle will be epic.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story.I will give you, my rating. I give The Marvels done by Marvel Studios on Disney+, a 10 out 10. I disagree with the other ratings that this movie was given. This movie was fun, and it told an exceptionally relevant story. It shows the dangers of a resource war, and how other civilizations will try to steal resources from other civilizations for wealth and power. What Dar-Been is doing is not to just save Hala, but for Hala to be restored to greatness. This is where the Cree Empire was stretched everywhere across the galaxy. They are setting up other possibilities in this movie. It will have a character at the end of the movie that has been in a series done by Marvel Studios. Who is that character? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. What other characters are coming into the MCU? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. Both Monica Rambeau and Kamla Khan helped Carol Danvers realize that she does not have to do everything alone and that is good. It is never good when we try to do things ourselves. With help, Carol Danvers will defeat the enemy thanks to Monica Rambeau and Kamla Khan.This is a cool bonus clip for you to watch:Please help support the Newsletter and the ChannelPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any reviews at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Marvel’s Logan that is currently on Disney+. Logan will take place in 2029, this will be in the future, when this film was released in 2017. It will have Logan AKA Wolverine as an older man and Professor Charles Xavier as an older man. This is 29 years after the events in the first X-MEN film. It is just Charles Xavier, Logan, and Caliban. Caliban is an albino who can sense other mutants. He can track them as he can sense other mutants. He must cover up completely or he will be literally burned by the sun. The sun can kill him. Albinos can never have any part of their skin exposed, or they will be burned. The movie shows this as there will be a scene where one of the villains uses that weakness to his advantage. He exposes Caliban to the sun, and it burns him. It could kill him. This is a form of torture. What this review will set out to prove is that the experimentation of Laura, who is X-23 is being used as a weapon. It will also set out to prove that the experimentation on these children is no different than eugenics. Eugenics was experimentation of people that societies like here in the United States, Nazi Germany, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome where it is believed that human beings could be improved upon. It is the idea that there was something inferior to the other races of human beings because they were considered different. It is a twisted idea, and this is what is happening to these children. They are not considered people; they are considered as weapons to be used by the government. These experiments are illegal, but that has not stopped people. Whether it is right or not, people have done this throughout time. There is a page on Wikipedia about Eugenics, and I will leave it in the description below of this video or blog if you are on my website or my Patreon Page to learn more about this. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank you for those that signed up and Please supportI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon.

Now on with the review.Please watch the trailer in the video below. Thank you.Rest of Review and Rating of LoganLogan is feeling the brunt of being old. In the beginning of this movie, he is not able to heal like he used to. He is attacked by those who try to steal his car. He kills them, but he is shot, and he is not healing as fast as he used to. This is the result of the Adamantium in his body is starting to kill him. It has been killing him slowly. The metal in his body made him into a weapon, but it is starting to eat his body. His ability to heal helps with that, but eventually no one can endure this forever. The metal is indestructible, but it makes sense that this is not good for him. He is driving a Cadillac. He is having to hide in Mexico as he has been treating Professor Charles Xavier. Charles Xavier is old, and he has seizures and because of his powers when he has them, they are deadly to others as well as himself. His telepathic abilities make it so when he has them, it causes him to have others feel what he is feeling. This means that he can kill this people, whether he means to or not.Here is another video of the trailer. Please watch this trailer here in below. Thank you.A woman named Gabriella who is of Mexican descent was working for Transign who was doing these horrible experiments on these children and turning them into weapons. This is very similar to Eugenics, where people believed human beings can be improved upon. She pleads with Logan that she needs his help. She reminds him that you are good, and you want to do the right thing. Logan has always been a gray character. In the first X-MEN film, he was by himself. He believed that Magneto was not wrong that a war was coming. He is elderly and is doing the best he can. He has been working as a driver to make money. Gabriella promised Logan that she would pay him $50,000 if he helped her. Logan is uncertain about this but knows he could use the money to help Charles Xavier in his treatments.The person with the metal hand and his name is Xane. Xane is not after Logan; he is after Laura who is a mutant. Logan wonders who Laura is, but believes it is not his problem. Charles Xavier tells Logan; Laura is more than you think she is. They get attacked by Transign and they must escape before something bad happens. Something bad happens, and they must get out of there. Laura is X-23, and she has claws like Wolverine that are metal. These metal claws can kill people and she use that to defend herself against these attackers. Laura wants to get to North Dakota. Earlier in the movie, Gabriella is dead, and Logan must figure out what happened. Logan must escape with Professor Charles Xavier, and Laura. Caliban is taken prisoner by Xane and Transign and will be tortured by Xane using his weakness of being exposed to the sun as it can kill him. As Charles Xavier tells Logan, Laura is your daughter. She has your genetic makeup.Logan will later learn once he gets a charger at a convenience store that Gabriella was part of a group of scientists at Transign that wanted to create a new set of weapons out these Mutants. This is the Eugenics part of this story that is being told. As stated, before in this review, Eugenics is the idea that human beings can be improved upon as there must be something wrong with them. There is nothing wrong with people because they are different. This is the lie that is told by the powerful, so they can stay in power. The powerful will use fear and hate to stay in power. They will get the masses to fight with each other instead of realizing what the real threat to their lives is. Logan sees the video and realizes the horrible things that happen to these children. He is reluctant because he is old and does not have the same energy that he used to when he was younger.Logan will be driving on the road, and he ends up in Oklahoma. Logan will be at a casino with Charles Xavier and Laura. They are there at a hotel that is in the casino. Logan must trade the car for another one since they are being chased by Transign. While Logan is out, Charles Xavier will have a seizure and it is causing his power of telepathy to influence others. It is giving the people in the area there a seizure like he is feeling and if Logan does not get there, he could kill the people in that are there. Logan kills the people that are around Charles Xavier that are after Laura. Logan gets the medicine in the needle and injects it into Charles Xavier. He must get Charles Xavier and Laura out of there. They are lucky to escape.Logan is on the interstate when he realizes that he could almost hit a vehicle. There is a family that has a truck that has horses in it. Charles Xavier has Logan realize that they need to help this family. They do and after they do that, that family invites them to their house for dinner. Logan insists that Charles Xavier and Laura need to stay at a hotel. The family tells them that you do not want to do that. There will not be a place to stay for several miles. You want to stay here. Logan is reluctant to do this, but Charles Xavier convinces him to do this.As Logan fears, Transign finds them, and Logan is out with the owner of the house to help them with the water being turned off. This means whoever is a bully claims that he can do whatever he wants. Logan helps the owner with this to fend off the bully and his thugs. Transign gets into the house and kills Charles Xavier. They made a weapon that is a clone of Logan. Laura tries to fend this clone off but is having trouble with this clone.Logan will be coming back as the clone of Logan is killing not just Mutants, but the family as well. Logan must figure out how to save himself and Laura before this gets worse. The clone kills the bully as well. He chops the head of that person. Logan gets Laura and they escape. Caliban blows himself up with the soldiers of Transign in the vehicle. He figures it was no win scenario, so he believes this will be better if he does this.There is a comic called X-23 which describes Laura and how she became who she was. In this book, it will be a collection of different issues. It will show Laura, known as the X-23, was designed to be a weapon and this makes it hard for her to move on from that. I will a link of that comic in the description below.Laura gets Wolverine to a doctor. The doctor saved Logan AKA Wolverine. The doctor tells him, you need to go to a hospital. Logan tells the doctor that you do not want to do that. If you do, you are dead. They leave there. Laura insists that she needs to get to North Dakota to get to Canada. Logan tells her that this place of Eden does not exist.Logan takes her to North Dakota and gets here there. He passes out and must be pulled up to the place where the children were staying.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story.I will give you, my rating. I give Marvel’s Logan on Disney+ a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells a powerful story. It shows the dangers of experimenting on people just to make them better. The powerful wanted to create weapons and this is what happens here in this story. It is the old story of the powerful doing horrible things for the greater good. As the page of Eugenics says, this is nothing new. It was believed that you can change it for the better. This is cruel, and there is nothing wrong with how people are. Everyone is special, and until people realize this, this will only continue.Please help suport the Newsletter and ChannelPlease go to this link and check out my blog.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell so you never miss a review. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Marvel Studios Echo Season 1 that is currently on Disney+ and Hulu. This is a Disney+ Original and what is amazing is that this series has a Mature rating, and it is done by Disney+ not Hulu. Usually series like Dopesick, and Only Murders in the Building are done by Hulu. They are the Mature series that is done and do not forget that Hulu is owned by Disney. If fans of Marvel believed that the Marvel Cinematic Universe needed a fresh series or movie, this series does that in so many ways. The series is the answer that Marvel needed for so many reasons. It has a diverse character that is deaf, an amputee, and is of indigenous nature who first appeared on the Hawkeye series that I reviewed for this channel. The actress Alaqua Cox is deaf, an amputee, and is of indigenous nature like her character in this show. She plays herself. She finds out by Clint Barton who was Ronin the Assassin that he was hired by Kingpin to kill her father and that Kingpin wanted her father dead. Maya Lopez realizes Kingpin is not who she thought he was. He manipulated her to be his weapon and used her for his dirty work. This is what this review will set out to prove. This character is of Native American origin. She is part of the Choctaw Nation that is in Tamaha, Oklahoma. It is good that Marvel has this series set in a small town like Tamaha, Oklahoma. Most of the characters like Peter Parker, Matt Murdock, Jessica Jones, Kate Bishop, Danny Rand, Bucky Barnes, or Steve Rogers are from New York City. This is a change that Maya Lopez who is Echo is from this small town of Tamaha, Oklahoma. This needed to be done. It is true that Sam Wilson is from Louisiana and is not from New York City and Peter Quill is from Missouri. The people that are involved in this series collaborated with the Choctaw Nation. This is good because they did everything, they could do to make this look authentic. This is important because if you do your homework and you know everything you can about that culture, it only makes the story richer and gives that realistic feel that you are trying to tell. It is impressive that Marvel did this. The other series that did this is in Longmire, 1923, and Joe Pickett that had Indigenous/Native Americans in their stories. Marvel took it to another level, but it does not take away what those series did. 2 of the actors were in the Longmire series. Their names will be revealed later in this review. Emotional, spiritual, and Mental pain are a theme in this series. There are 3 characters in this series that the viewer can point to in this series. They are Maya Lopez, Chula, and Wilson Fisk. They are all connected to each other. The connection will be explained in this review. I will also use my automobile accident that I suffered in 2005 as an example of understanding this pain that these 3 characters are going through in this story. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the channel and the NewsletterI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon.

Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating for Season 1 of EchoIt is very important for the viewer to watch the Hawkeye series on Disney+ as this will give you the viewer the background that you need to watch this series. This series will start off with Chafa and her people being made of clay. You will see a woodpecker and it is called Bisknik and it helped to warn the tribe against enemies. It will carve out warnings in the tree. This is very authentic to the Choctaw Nation culture. They believed that we started as clay and later escaped a cave and became human beings. This is on a website that I will leave a link in the bottom of this video or blog. You can check this out and learn about their culture. You can learn about stick ball which was in the second episode of this series. That is how they play the game as you can learn about reading and watching a video about stick ball. Each episode will lead to the culmination of Maya becoming Echo and she will go through a hero journey. She believes that she wants power, but it will come at a price. When you trust a devil like Kingpin, you will get false gold. It usually does not turn out how people think it will. She shot Kingpin in the last episode of the Hawkeye series. It will show a recap of that in the first episode of the Echo series.Here is a short to give insight into Echo:When they talk about Chafa, Maya Lopez is with her cousin Bonnie in the tent when Maya Lopez is 7 years old, and Bonnie looks to be about the same age at the same time in 2007. This starts that year in that episode Tamaha, Oklahoma. Maya’s father, William Lopez, Taloa, her mother, Skully, her grandfather, and Chula, her grandmother as they were sitting around the fire telling stories. Chula and Skully later leave and as they were going home Chula has a vision that something bad will happen. It later starts to rain, and this causes Bonnie and Maya to go back inside the house. Maya Lopez asks her mother for hot chocolate. Her mother tells her that they are out. They later go to the store, and this is when her mother and her get hit by oncoming traffic and her mother dies. They get T-boned because of the brake cable being cut. Maya Lopez will lose her leg as a piece of glass gets in her leg. Maya Lopez is not only going through physical pain but emotional, spiritual, and mental pain. This will cause Chula to be mad at William Lopez and she blames him for this. She told him that she would never forgive him for Taloa dying. This will break Chula and make her closed off to people. Wiliam Lopez is played by Zahn McClarnon who was in the Longmire series and played the tribal police chief. He was in the Hawkeye series in the 3rd episode of that series. The actor who plays Skully is Graham Greene and was in the Longmire series and he played Malachi who was the villain. Graham Greene was in Wind River, and he acted beside Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen in that movie who both play Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch in the MCU.This will lead to New York and scenes from the school when Maya was 7 years old will surface. The scene with her father will surface as Maya was asking about dragons. This will be the Hawkeye feel that the viewer experienced in this first episode of the Echo series. Maya will be at the Cemetry after her father dies and it is like when Harry Osborne lost his father at the end of the first Spider-Man, the 2002 version of that character that starred Tobey Maguire. The picture will show Peter leaving the gravesite, but it is right after Norman Osborne dies. It will lead the viewer to the point where Maya Lopez realizes the truth about Wilson Fisk, and she later shoots him in the eye.It will be 5 months later, and Maya Lopez will need help from her uncle Henry Black Crow Lopez. Yes, being named after an animal is not unusual. In the Longmire series, Henry Standing Bear, who is Walt Longmire’s best friend is a common name for Native Americans. In 1923, Teonna Rainwater was another name. Being named after animals or other elements of nature is common in the Native American folk lore and culture. Maya Lopez used dental floss, and this helped her in stitching up the wound from the gun shot that she suffered. This is very similar to Night Nurse in the 1st season of Luke Cage, when she sewed up Misty who is a detective for NYPD with dental floss.Henry tells Maya on the water tower that he will not bring a war to Tamaha. Maya tells Henry it is time for a queen.Earlier in the 1st episode, Maya Lopez aka Echo will fight Daredevil and she does better than Kingpin thought she would. As Kingpin points out to Maya Lopez, no one has ever held their own against him, like you did. She and Daredevil were adversaries here, but later they become allies against Kingpin. It is true in the Marvel comics as there is a series called Daredevil and Echo that will help the viewer to understand the dynamics of Daredevil and Echo. I will leave a reference to that series in the description below in the video or the blog post if you are reading this on my blog.Each of these episodes will help to culminate in Maya Lopez becoming Echo. The 2nd episode will deal with Lowak and this is where they will be playing stick ball in Alabama in 1200 and this is accurate to history as the Choctaw Nation was in Alabama before they ended up in Oklahoma. Lowak will get frustrated, but she will channel Chafa and she will find the strength to help them win. The game was very authentic. The game is like Lacrosse. If you have not watched Lacrosse, there are plenty of options to do so. It is played at the collegiate level in both Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse. Lacrosse was developed by native Americans and according to Wikipedia; it uses a stick and like was shown in this episode with stick ball. Lacrosse is played with a stick that has a net in the top portion of it and you must catch a ball in it, and you toss the ball to the other player to make a pass. You must toss the stick with the ball in it to the goal and get in the net to score a goal. A good movie to watch is Invisible Sister as this will show Lacrosse being played in that movie. When Cleo must take her sister’s Molly place after Molly is made invisible, Cleo must play Lacrosse, and finds out that she is better than she thought she was. Lowak realizes that she must help her tribe to win this match to keep them from being banned from those lands.Maya Lopez will use that vision of Lowak and Chafa to help her in getting away from the train. She puts an explosive in the train and later blows up the DX-9 in New York. Henry Black Crow Lopez will encounter Maya Lopez and tell her you are starting a war. Maya Lopez tells him that there is a war. She tells him, “I will say when it starts, and when it stops. This is not chaos, this is power.” As Henry Black Crow Lopez tells her, you sound like Fisk. Maya gains a vision after she gets a text from Bonnie, and she wonders why Maya did not tell her that she was in town. Bonnie will find out from Biscuits that she was in town.The third episode of this series will feature Tuklo. She is the daughter of a Light horseman who are part of the tribal police. She can be a great shot and she was very accurate when she threw objects and could hit them. The beginning of this episode reminds the viewer of a silent film, as there is only music, and no dialogue; there are only texts that tell the story they tell in this flashback. Tuklo will tell her father that she wants to be Light horseman. Her father will tell her, that women are life givers, and men are life takers. She tells her father that what good is it to give life, if I cannot protect it. That makes sense. Is a woman more than just giving birth to children? Of course, she is more than that. She is a person and can do more than just give birth to children. Maya Lopez will pull from Tuklo. She later must get out of a situation where she can die but is saved by a phone call. The fight scenes were awesome and showed how good a fighter Maya is. Yes, it can be done. There are people who do flips and crazy stuff. My martial arts training says yes, this can be done.The 4th episode of this series will deal with Maya’s grandmother Chula giving birth to her mother Taloa who is considered a healer. Chula will explain to Maya that the ancestors will communicate with you when they are needed most. Maya always believes that her grandmother Chula did not want her around. Because of what happened to Taloa when she died of the result of being T-boned. This broke Chula’s heart. As Maya tells Chula, you chose yourself. Maya needed her grandmother, and her grandmother Chula chose herself after Taloa was killed. William Lopez later goes to New York and later gets killed by Ronin the Assassin who was used by Kingpin to kill Maya’s father. Kingpin will offer Maya Lopez everything. He promises her an empire. Henry Black Crow Lopez tells Maya Lopez that Kingpin is the reason I am 45 and alone. He tells her you cannot trust him. It is no different than when Satan offers Jesus Christ everything, but Jesus Christ sees the lies of Satan and does not accept his terms. Maya Lopez will reject Kingpin and Kingpin is mad. Kingpin showed Maya Lopez the hammer which is a reference to the first season of Daredevil when he killed his father with it. His father did beat his mother, and he killed him to stop him. Kingpin thought he was getting free of the pain inflicted by his father. Instead, the pain turned Kingpin into a monster.The fifth episode will be called Maya, and this episode will culminate to her becoming Echo. Culmination is the meaning of when a story gets to the climax. Maya Lopez realizes that she must go back home to Tamaha, Oklahoma. She will get to her childhood home, and she finds her mother standing there. Her mother knows that she has been hurting and her mother Taloa tells Maya that it is time for your pain to go away. Maya Lopez tells her mother Taloa that she can’t, she does not know how to get my pain to go away. Her mother tells her that she will help her. She tells her your ancestors will help you. Remember your gifts of love, sacrifice, strategy, and courage. It was made into this suit which was designed by her grandmother Chula. The battle between Kingpin and Maya Lopez will be epic. It will have the audience hear from her perspective and it will help give that feel if the viewer were deaf. This is good. Maya Lopez will touch Kingpin and force him to go back to the pain of when he was a child. Maya Lopez tells him to let go of his anger, but he does not want to. Pain has become his life and uses the pain as an excuse to be the monster that he has become. How does this fight end? Drop your answer in the comment section below. Pow Wow was awesome, and it was cool to see it in this series. Henry Black Crow Lopez will come up big as he will shoot Zane and keep him from hurting innocent people as well as Biscuits. Biscuits helped Maya in the 2nd episode during the train attack as Maya was planting that explosive on that train. Biscuits will use his monster truck to crush the vans to be sure they were not going to cause any trouble at the Pow Wow. Does Maya reconcile with her family? Drop your answer in the comment section below.I will give you, my rating. I give Marvel Studios Echo Season 1, a Disney+ original, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, and it was very well done. It is important to show that problems like what was shown in this small town happen and you do not have to be in a big city for that to happen. The series does an excellent job of explaining how emotional, spiritual, and mental pain can affect people. Each person in this world has some difficulties in his or her life. I can relate to Maya in this series since I was T-boned like her and something like what happen to her can stay with you for a long time. She believes it was her fault that her mother was killed. Kingpin uses the pain of her father’s murder to become his weapon. As Clint Barton tells Maya, “When you are filled with rage. You can be used.” He tells her your boss wanted your father dead. Kingpin believes that when he killed his father with the hammer, he was free. That is the irony, he was not, it is an illusion at best. He finds out that it is still there, and when Maya Lopez caused him to face it, he wanted to run from it. He is a coward when it comes to that. It is hard to face one’s pain, but it takes courage. I hope that I personally have gotten better, but I am not sure. I take it each day at a time. Life will never be easy, but if we realize as Maya’s mother was telling Maya, you are not alone. This means we are not alone; we have friends and family that love us. It is never good when we try to do things ourselves, especially handling things like bad events that happen to us. Marvel did a great job of doing their homework and getting collaboration from the Choctaw Nation. It made this series more believable, and it is a great way to teach people the history of these wonderful people.Where to check out my Newsletter and ChannelPlease go to this link and check out my blog.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Death Comes to Marlow (A Marlow Murder Club Mystery) by Robert Thorogood. This is a series of books that revolve around 3 women who make up the Marlow Murder Club whose names are Judith, Suzie, and Becks. This is the British version of the Women’s Murder Club that is written by James Patterson. The women names in the Women’s Murder Club are Lindsay Boxer, Cindy Thomas, Claire Washburn, and Jill Bernhardt. Jill is later replaced by Joki later in the books. They made a TV series of the Women’s Murder Club that came out in 2007 and had 1 season. It was done by ABC, and it would be great to see it on Disney+ or Hulu since Disney would own the rights to this series. This author authored this book also has a series that was done by BBC, and it is called Death in Paradise. This book will start with the death of Sir Peter Bailey, but Judith is not convinced that it is not an accident; she is convinced that it is murder. This case will be a puzzle, but this will be to Judith’s strength, since she does the crossword in the Marlow Free Press that comes out in paper in every issue of the paper. This will allow her to see the clues that she needs to see once she is able to make sense of them. There will not be a bunch of pictures in this review since this is a book review. It is harder to do that than a movie or TV series. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank you for your support and How to support the Channel and the NewslettterI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon.

Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating of Death Comes to MarlowThe 1st Person of Interest in this story is Tristram as he has motive to kill him because if his father Sir Peter Bailey marries Jenny Page who was his father’s nurse, then she would become Lady Jenny Bailey and have the money that she so craved to have. Tristram will be mean to Jenny, and this will cause Judith to be suspicious of him and make him a good person to look at for this murder. The police are ready to call it an accident, but Judith is not convinced that it is. Judith is invited to this party by Sir Peter Bailey when he is concerned that his son Tristram was trying to kill him. This sparks Judith’s interest, and she decides to go with Becks and Suzie who are her best friends and part of the Marlow Murder Club with Judith. Judith is the puzzle master of the group as she can see things that are not there, and she has a sense when something feels off. It helps that she does the crossword in every issue of the Marlow Free Press. This helps her to see the clues to Sir Peter Bailey’s death and it is odd when Judith, Becks, and Suzie go to the kitchen they find that the olive oil can has been used and it was used to make the door easier to open to Sir Peter Bailey’s study. Tristram is entitled and believes the money should be his no matter what. He wants Jenny Page out of the house, and believes it is once his father breathed his last breath. As the attorney who is handling the estate for Sir Peter Bailey, the will must be probated, and he knew that Sir Peter Bailey had a new will to be drafted. The attorney knows this as he witnessed it as well as the gardener Chris Shepard.Sir Peter Bailey will die once the cabinet falls him or so it appears to be. The death will be a blunt force trauma. This usually means an object must fall on him for it to be so. Judith will see that things will not add up and the search for the killer, and the new will must begin.The detective that oversees this case first is named Tanika and she is acting as the DI until that person comes back from holiday. She wants to see all the facts before deciding what to do. She will believe that it is murder, but the one who was on holiday and his name is Garreth Hoskins. He is incompetent and does not know what he is doing. He is quick to call this death of Sir Peter Baily an accident before he sees all the facts in this case. Tanika will have to deal with her father at home that always asks her for help even though she has other siblings that could help. Tanika is the only daughter and there is a belief that the woman is supposed to deal with problems in the home even if the other siblings could help. In terms of hierarchy in society, the males have the upper hand, and the females have the lower hand. This will be true of Rosana.Rosana is the 2nd Person of Interest in this story as she was there, and she never has had the benefit of being recognized by her father. She is the one that does all the work for the Estate to run smoothly, but she is always looked down by her father. She wants to feel that her father appreciates her. Tristram was interested in acting, and never did the challenging work of running the estate.Chris Sheppard is the 3rd Person of Interest in this story. The stuff that was in the study on the cabinet that fell on Sir Peter Bailey had stuff that was invented by his grandfather. Sir Peter Bailey’s father denied Chris Sheppard’s grandfather has just due as he took the credit for the invention that his father made. This would make sense that Chris Sheppard would want to murder Sir Peter Bailey for what happened to his family. Chris Sheppard is guilty of something, but not murder. What is he guilty of? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.The 1st wife of Sir Peter Bailey would be the 4th Person of Interest in this story. She would have a bone to pick as she was divorced by him and Tristram has a soft spot for his mother as well. They could have been working together to want to murder her former husband of Sir Peter Bailey. She was later seen walking in the garden toward the room at 3 p.m. This will help Judith to see the clue to the puzzle to who the killer is.Sarah Fitzherbert, who was Tristram’s girlfriend, is the 5th Person of Interest in this story. She would have a particularly good reason to help Tristram to kill his father Sir Peter Bailey. She wanted the title of Lady Bailey so that she could have the security of not having to work. There is one flaw to this as it is proven that she was somewhere else when the murder took place. Where was she at the time? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.Kat, who is dating Rosanna in this story, is the 6th Person of Interest. She is an activist that is concerned about climate change. As it is said, there is no planet b. It is not like humans can migrate in space to another planet. Kat knows that Rosanna is wronged by her father by not getting the money but believes that money ruins lives. This does not mean that she could not committed murder by killing Sir Peter Bailey for Rosanna. She has an airtight alibi. What is that alibi?Jenny Page, the one who was marrying Sir Peter Bailey, is the 7th Person of Interest in this story. Why would that be? It would be counter intuitive that she would kill her husband to be before she could marry him. You think she would wait to kill him after she is married. Jenny Page confesses to Judith, Becks, and Suzie that she wants the money from Sir Peter Bailey. She is convinced once the will is found, she deserves the money. The will was found in the compost bin, and it would make sense if the gardener Chris Sheppard would done this but did not. Andrew Husselbee, the attorney handling the Estate of Sir Peter Bailey tells Jenny Page that the will cannot be torn up if it is to be a valid will. The will that left everything to Tristram would be the valid will. It will make sense that Tristram is the killer, but did he act alone? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.The book has twists and turns and what the reader thinks he or she knows, the reader does not. It will cause the reader to produce their list of suspects and like the 3 women of the Marlow Murder Club, the reader will have to be a great puzzle master like Judith to see all the clues. Becks and Suzie as well as Tanika will be an immense help in catching the killer of Sir Peter Bailey. It will end in a remarkably interesting way.The story will answer the questions the reader is seeking, and it will get to a climax. As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here.I will give you, my rating. I give Death Comes to Marlow (A Marlow Murder Club Mystery) by Robert Thorogood, a 10 out of 10. The story is complex, and the answer is not always as obvious as one might think. It is good that Judith does the crossword in the Marlow Free Press because it will help her to see the clues that she needs to see to catch the killer of Sir Peter Bailey. There will be clues in the fireplace that will help. The clue when Lady Bailey, the first wife of Sir Peter Bailey. The trail in the garden helped Judith to see what she needed. As she would tell Becks and Suzie that the clue would be answered at 3 p.m. She needed to be at the time to see what she needed to see. It will give her the answer she needs. Her friends will catch on and will be an immense help as well as the detective Tankia who will pretend to be all mad at Judith so Judith can be alone with the killer to get a confession from the actual killer. Who is the actual killer? Were there 2 killers? Please leave your answers in the comment section below. The writer of this story read Agatha Christie and it makes sense when the reader reads this book, it has an Agatha Christie feel to it. She was never obvious, and it would always be a twist to her stories.Please help support the Channel and the NewsletterPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the book called Paws to Remember: A Magical Cats Mystery book by Sofie Kelly. You can read this book on Amazon, listen to it on Audible, or read it and listen to it from your local library such as the physical book, CD, or digital version of the book or audio version. My mother checked this book out from the library, and let me read it, and I was glad she did. I immensely enjoyed this book. Once you start this book, you will not want to put it down. You want to get to the end of the story and find out what happens. This is skillful writing when a writer can hook the reader in this way. This book is about Kathleen’s best friend Maggie who has her store flooded and because a flood happens, it reveals a body of a woman who has been dead for 36 years. This story will open questions about this young woman, and it will reveal things that the killer of this victim does not want to come out. This book will cause the reader to develop theories and there are 3 suspects that make the most sense. Their names are Byran James, Jake Anderson, and Ann McKinnon. I will give you my reasons to why they are the most logical suspects, and you will come to understand why that is the case. I will give you the main characters to let you know who the magical cats in this story are. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I will not use a whole bunch of pictures in this as being a book review is harder and it is easier for me not to have to do that. Thank you for understanding. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon.

You want to do this as this will help you get better content, and you will have a say in the content that I create. Please consider doing this as soon as possible. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of Review of Paws to Remember: A Magical Cats Mystery and RatingAs was mentioned before in this review, this story deals with a murder of a young woman who was believed to be a runaway. The book will let you know her name is Lilly Abbott. She was pregnant before the murder, and she later gave birth to her daughter whose name is Ella King. She was adopted by a nice family, after she was left that night on Christmas Eve. The pastor of the church could not refuse her, and he waited 2 days for the mother to show and when she did not; he looked to put her up for adoption. The child, whose name is Ella King, ended up with a great family who loved her. This story takes place in Mayville Heights, Minnesota. They say there are several factors of cold. Cold is cold, but there can be degrees of worse cold.Kathleen has 2 cats whose names are Hercules and Owen, and yes, they are magical cats. They can teleport and do things that normal beings cannot. They have a knack for pointing Kathleen in the right direction. Kathleen’s cats are special, and she has a knack for getting people to trust her. Kathleen is engaged to Marcus Gordon who is a detective for the Mayville Heights Police Department. Marcus Gordon, like Kathleen, has his own special cat. His cat’s name is Micah, and yes, it would be easy to assume this cat is male, but it is not, it is female. Micah, like Hercules and Owen, has special powers and can-do things, a normal being cannot. This makes this fascinating and fun to say the least when you have beings that can do special things like this.Ella King asks Kathleen to help her find out answers to her birth mother Lilly Abbott and how she died. She wants to know what happened and to have the DNA test to find out if Lilly Abbott is her biological mother. She wants to know what happened and this came to be.Taylor, who is Ella King’s daughter, asks Kathleen to help her mother Ella to find out if Lilly Abbott is her biological mother. Kathleen agrees to help, and she knows that she will have the help of her special cats Owen and Hercules. She lets Marcus Gordon, her fiancé, know that she will be looking into this, and she will give him information that will help him solve the case.The information that Kathleen will need is from Emily Abbott who married Lilly Abbott’s brother Tim who worked for a newspaper. He never believed that his sister ran away, and once Kathleen meets with Emily Abbott, she agrees to help her so Kathleen can find the answers to what happened to Lilly Abbott at the time of her death. Tim Abbott is dead, and Ella King will never get to know her uncle either. In this story, it seems to Ella the only one alive that had any relations to her mother is Emily and Mila.Mila will be an immense help to Kathleen. Mila was holding out at first, but later was ready to talk to Kathleen. Just when Mila is ready to talk, she is later attacked and in critical condition at the hospital. It is an attempted murder, but as Maggie says, there is no way Mila would kill herself. Once Marcus Gordon, Kathleen’s fiancé looks at the crime scene, he agrees there is no way that is possible. It was staged to be an attempted suicide.The first person of interest is Bryan James, who dated Lilly Abbott back in high school 36 years ago when this story takes place. It is believed that he is a good person to start with since they broke up and got back together and broke up again. It was a high school romance and most of them ended up like this. Bryan James is a middle school teacher now who teaches Chemistry. He is contributing back to society. During that night, he is said to be not involved in the murder because he and his best friend Jake Anderson were drinking that night, and off partying. There is a videotape that helps prove this, but it is missing, and needs to be turned up to prove this story.The second person of interest is Jake Anderson who ends up becoming a structural engineer, who Lilly Abbott had an argument about boys’ and girls’ sports. Lilly Abbott was telling Jake Anderson it is not fair that boys’ sports get more attention and better training facilities than girls’ sports. Unfortunately, that is true today. Female sports have more recognition, but it is still the case that male sports are more front and center. As Jake Anderson said to Lilly Abbott in the book, “This is how it is. Male sports draw more crowds than female sports and it is unfortunately how it is.” Lilly Abbott is aware of this, but it does make it right. It is unfortunate, but this is how the world works. There is work to be done to make the world a better and fairer place. Life will never be completely fair, but if there are those who are willing to fight for what is right, then it will be. It will never be perfect, but it can be better than it is. Jake Anderson had a crush on Lilly Abbott, and this is why he is a person of interest in this story. He has motive and makes him a credible suspect. Jake Anderson’s alibi is Bryan James, but they need that videotape showing they were drinking at the time of the murder of Lilly Abbott. The videotape must appear for both Bryan James and Jake Anderson to prove that they are innocent.The third Person of interest in this story is Ann McKinnon. She was on the volleyball coaching staff at the time. She was young at the time that she graduated high school when she was 17 years old. She was 24 at the time the murder took place 36 years ago. She is 60 years old now. She is being difficult with Kathleen and dodging questions. She says she did not make a promise to help Ella King to figure out the answers to what happened to her birth mother. Kathleen must challenge Ann McKinnon to a hockey match to get her to talk. It works and Ann McKinnon tells Kathleen what she knows, but not all of it. Ann claims that she would have known if Lilly Abbott was pregnant at the time. There is no way that she could have hooked up with a boy and had sex with that quote boy. Anything can happen, and if a teenager wants to, they can figure out how to do something they are not supposed to do. Ann McKinnon left out details to Kathleen about skills she had, and claims she has no idea about how to do something medical.The story does well with twists and turns. The book will have funny statements like, Pizza is not cat food. That is true, there are certain things that cats cannot eat. Cats are not supposed to eat onions as it can be poisonous. They are not supposed to drink the milk that one sees in cartoons as it can give them the runs.This story can be made into a fun movie or TV series. You just need to have the right special effects and with CGI, it can be done. I watched a movie called Grumpy Cats: Worst Christmas Ever, and it had the cat talking through her mind. This means Grumpy was telepathic. Another good example is Sabrina the Teenage Witch, is where Salem used to be a man, but was punished to be a cat because he wanted to take over the world. The proof it can be done is in the first X-Men film where a kid teleports in that story. It can be done and does not have to be cartoon, not that a cartoon would be bad, but there are ways to do it as Live Action with CGI.I will give you, my rating. I give Paws to Remember: A Magical Cats mystery book, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, and like I said earlier in this review, you do not want to put this book down. How it ends is unexpected. It will have Kathleen needing help in the end, but it will come in a way that the reader does not expect. It is good that the story does come with an audio version for a person who travels or likes listening to stories. The killer will be one of the 3 people that are the top suspects. Who kills Lilly Abbott and tries to kill Mila in this story? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. The killer will not be who the reader thinks. That is all that will be said here.Check out my Newsletter and what videos I recommendPlease go to this link and check out my newsltter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be doing something different this time, I will be giving you my thoughts on Christmas Movies, Books, TV Series that I like or do not like. This will be the last video that I will do for the year 2023 before I have another video or blog post in January of 2024. The most probable day that I will have a video or blog post be public will be January 19, 2024. I need to take this break to recharge my batteries and to work on innovative ideas that will be helpful to the channel. I will give you a list of movies, TV shows, and Books that I like and dislike. I will give you the content that I like first and tell you why, but there will not be a ton of pictures that come up. I will just show the picture of the movie, TV show, or book that I like and the same will go for the content that I do not like. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter. It is important to have those sign up for Patreon as it is a wonderful way to support the channel, but you as the patron take an active role in this channel. I have a new challenge for you. If 50 or more people sign up for Patreon at $10 or higher, I will hire a video editor to help with my videos. This will help improve the content on the channel and this means you will help me in this endeavor. If 50 or more people sign up at $10 or higher, I will make $500 or higher a month for this channel.

Even if you are a patron, if you decide to sign up at $10 of higher, you will get the benefit of once I reach 50 or more people to sign up at $10 or higher, I will also give you a shirt as well as hire a video editor once I reach that threshold of 50 or more people signing up for Patreon. You want to do this as this will help you get better content, and you will have a say in the content that I create. Please consider doing this as soon as possible. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of my presentation of Christmas contentThis is open to content that I reviewed for this channel as well as content that I have not reviewed for this channel. This will allow me to promote content that I currently have on this channel as well as test out latest content ideas and see if you will be interested in this latest content for this channel. I will now give the content that I like first as stated before.One of the movies that I reviewed for this channel is By God’s Grace which is a modern retelling of the Christmas Carol which I love the story of the Christmas Carol and that I enjoyed watching. Christopher Taylor, who goes by Chris, lost his parents and his 10-year-old sister in a horrible automobile accident that involved a drunk driver. Chris suddenly feels down during the Christmas season and believes that work is the most important thing and that he should work all the time and that this is all that matters. He believes that only investments that return a monetary return are the most important thing as he told his friend Samantha who goes by Sam. She was in love with him and still is. Chris still loves her, but the tragedy has clouded him, and he uses work to avoid the pain of that tragedy of the automobile accident that involved a drunk driver that killed his parents and his 10-year-old sister whose name is Grace. Chris will get a visit from his 10-year-old sister Grace and will learn the true meaning of Christmas. She will act as Marley, the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future instead of having 4 different spirits. Grace will have Chris see as Samantha was telling him about that investing in tomorrow there is a return not just money but people becoming productive citizens of society and loving people does pay you back, not in money but with love returning to you. Chris realizes love is the most important thing and money does not buy that or friendship. He will realize that he allowed himself to be alone, and that it is not an effective way to live life. Each person needs to have friends, and no matter what happens, you are not alone even despite the darkness. Grace becomes Grace to Chris, and she helps him to heal from the tragedy of losing her and his parents to the automobile accident that involved a drunk driver.Another movie that I enjoyed that I reviewed for this channel is Christmas Again that is a Disney Channel original movie. This movie stars Scarlet Estevez and she plays Rowena who is experiencing a time loop, and that movie borrows the idea from Groundhog Day that starred Bill Murray where he kept reliving that day until he got it right. The one of the other movies that does this is the 12 Dates of Christmas which is an ABC family original film, and the character of that story is going through 12 Dates which does a time loop, and she must figure out who she is supposed to be with in that movie. Rowena is reliving Christmas all over again. She is upset with having her family change. Rowena wants things to be like they were. She gets blamed for all the things that go wrong. She realizes when things happen as they do, and the events did not happen like they did; Rowena believes that she can do what she wants and will do what she wants. She checks off everything that she had on her list. She is reliving the day all over again and is realizing that she is going to that day over again. She wonders if it will end. It may seem great when the day is repeating itself and you can do what you want, but it is like being stuck in a prison. Another great reference is 12:01, as it was a device that shot at a beam and the day repeated itself, and one person knew about it. That person kept reliving that day and he realizes that it is not great. He felt stuck in a prison and wanted out. There is no freedom when time is repeating itself. Rowena realizes that it is not about getting her divorced parents back together, it is about helping others, not herself. She realizes that family is not blood, but it is who you love. Another great reference is the Spy Next Door where Bob tells the oldest child who is a 13-year-old female that family is not blood, it is who you love. And like Rowena, she understands this. Rowena is close in age as she is 12 in this movie. Scarlet Estevez does well with Rowena, and she has a way of bringing the viewer into the story no matter what medium it is.A TV series that I enjoyed watching is Hawkeye Season 1 which is produced by Marvel Studios and was released on Disney+ from November 24, 2021, which is the Wednesday of Thanksgiving week till December 22, 2021.There are 6 episodes and they had 2 episodes come out on November 24, 2021. The question is why I am mentioning a superhero series in this episode. This series takes place during Christmas and would not be the first to do an action type story during Christmas. The 1s Die Hard is a good example of that and another is the 1st Lethal Weapon that does take place during Christmas. I did an actor analysis of Hailee Stanfield being cast as Kate Bishop and why she is the right choice to play Kate Bishop. This is one of the 1st series that I reviewed when I first started out on YouTube. This is where I reviewed each episode individually and that may be nice, but it means I am only doing a certain amount of content. Those 2 episodes work well together, and it felt like the viewer was watching a movie in those 2 episodes as they work simultaneously together. This is where Kate Bishop found the Ronan the Assassin costume and took it and started wearing it. Kate Bishop wanted to do what Hawkeye did and she met Clint Barton and when she was helping. Kate Bishop suddenly realized what it means to be a hero. She is gifted in Martial Arts and Archery. Clint Barton is still better in this series because of his years of experience. The track suit mafia worked for a particular crime boss. The clue that helped me is when the word Fat Man Used Cars came up in episode 5 of this series and this revealed Kingpin. Kingpin was called Fat Man in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. If Marvel does not do season 2 of this series, it is good that they are doing a spinoff series of Echo in which the character is a deaf superhero. She originally started as a villain in this series but will become a hero and realizes that Kingpin is evil. The Echo trailer shows Kingpin in white and looks like what he did in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. Her powers come from feeling vibrations, and she is very gifted at martial arts which an episode shows in the Hawkeye series. That is the 3rd episode of Hawkeye Season 1. The story does well in the fact, it makes the killer be a mystery, and you need a solid detective to be able to crack the case. Clint Barton is smart, and Kate Bishop is smart. She has a high moral code even despite her family. She and Clint Barton will develop a strong relationship down the road. Hopefully, you will see Kate Bishop and Clint Barton in another season or in anything else Marvel decides to do here. Both Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld have great chemistry, and it will be great to see them together in another Marvel Studios Project.A book that I have listened to is called Christmas Presents which I have not reviewed for this channel. I enjoyed listening to this book. This book is psychological, and it involves a woman named Madeline Martin and she is the daughter of Sheriff James Martin. She lives in a small town and owns her own bookstore which is called the Next Chapter Bookstore. The title makes sense as books have chapters, and it has meaning for her. Madeline Martin is starting the next chapter of her life after her experience with Evan Handy. Evan Handy kidnapped her and drugged her while serving alcohol at a party. This is no different than being drugged with the rape drug of Ecstasy and it can have depilating effects which I mentioned in Joe Pickett Season 2 which is what happened to women that were given this rape drug. Evan Handy used a similar drug that has similar effects. He killed Madeline Martin’s best friend Stephanie Cramer during the party which takes place during Christmas. Madeline Martin was lucky to survive when she escaped to the river and left for dead. Her best friend Steve, which his friends call Badger, rescued her during that horrible night. Ainsley and Sam Wallace were taken by another person, and no one knows what happened to them. The other person involved in this took Lolly Morris who is a college dropout who is working as a stripper. This kidnapping of Lolly Morris will lead the reader to the other killer. Evan Handy is not innocent, but he did not act alone. The book is psychological, and it will have twists and turns. It will make a great series or movie.A movie that I recently watched that I have not reviewed for this channel is called EXmas which is a freeve original. I enjoyed this story. This is a romantic comedy that stars Robbie Amell as Graham and Leighton Meister as Ali. Ali is Graham’s Ex-fiancé, and she broke of the engagement when she felt that he valued work more than her. It has a Christmas Carol feel with that being the case. Ali and Graham bet that one of them will get the other gone by Christmas. They fight with each other, but as the viewer will learn that they still have feelings for each other. There is a saying that sometimes love, and hate are 2 sides of the same coin. When that happens, Love and Hate are about the other side showing passion for each other or what that person does. Graham and Ali will realize that this fight that they have with each other is stirring up feelings that each one of them has not wanted to deal with. Graham will realize that work is not important, but life with the person that you love is important. That is an important lesson to learn.Other content that I enjoyed is Feliz Navidad, The Santa Con, Noelle all content that I reviewed for this channel. Content that I have not reviewed is A Charlie Brown Christmas where Charlie Brown is depressed about Christmas and learns the true meaning of Christmas while directing the Christmas play at the time, he picks up a sorry Christmas tree that came out in 1965. A Garfield Christmas that came out in 1987 where Garfield goes to Jon’s childhood home and spends time on the family farm. Garfield is Jon’s cat, and he will learn the true meaning of Christmas as well and it is about love not necessarily getting gifts.I will give you content that I do not like.One of the movies that I do not care about is Christmas with the Kranks. This is where the Kranks wanted to go off to do a cruise when their daughter Blair decided not to come home for the holidays. The story does not work for me as I would prefer them to do what they can to have her come home. I am a sucker for letting all the family home for Christmas. I would have preferred it if the Kranks had challenged Blair to come home. For example, in the movie I will be Home for Christmas, the dad challenges his son Jake to come home. He promised that he would give him the Porsche. This is what I would like to see in this movie. If I have reviewed it for this channel, it will not get a great rating by me. If you like it, that is fine.The one of the other movies that I do not care about is How the Grinch Stole Christmas which starred Jim Carey in 2000. The movie has flaws. I do not like the love story in this movie. I like love stories, but it does not work here. How the Grinch Stole Christmas fell off in this movie, and I like the original cartoon better because it has the spirit of what Dr. Seuss had in mind. To me Jim Carey does not work as the Grinch. It is hard to do that as a live action movie. The Grinch should be done as a cartoon movie. That is what they did with Benedict Cumberbatch and the trailer looked good for that movie. Grinch needed to understand Christmas and they did not need him to be a kid in school and have a love story with another person. This takes the viewer out of the story. He needed to understand that Christmas is not about gifts, it is about the love and joy that people feel during Christmas. It is necessary to say his heart grew. His heart was 3 sizes too small, but it grew because he saw the true meaning of Christmas. It would not get a good rating if I reviewed this movie.These 2 movies are all I have for content that I do not like. It does not mean I could not tell you the other content that I like or do not like in something like this in Christmas 2024.How to support the Channel and NewsletterPlease go to this link and check out my newsletter.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the Disney movie called Noelle that is currently on Disney+. This is one of the first original movies that Disney+ did that was released when Disney+ was created. It was one of the first movies they slated for Disney+ release. It never came out in the theaters, and it was designed to for streaming. If one is asking, was this due to the pandemic? No, Disney+ came out in November of 2019. COVID-19 did not become a pandemic until March of 2020 in the United States, so that would not have been the case. This movie stars Anna Kendrick. If Anna Kendrick sounds familiar, she should, one of her most famous roles is playing in Pitch Perfect. Another movie would be “A Simple Favor” where she played a mom who suddenly got interested in helping to solve a murder of her best friend or so she thought. It turned out to be more complicated than that. She plays Noelle in this movie and Noelle bucks’ trends in what Santa Claus is supposed to be. Her dad was Santa, and her brother Nick Kringle is supposed to be the new Santa. Her mother is still alive, and her mother was married to her father that died at the time her brother is supposed to be the new Santa. Nick Kringle does not want to be the new Santa. Her nanny is an elf, and her name is Polly, and she helps Noelle in her journey in this story that is told in this movie. That is the last thing he wants. He wants out. Noelle learns what it means to be a Kringle and that it is not just her doing her cards. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to say thank you to those who signed up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter.

Now on with the review.Noelle Official trailer on YouTubeRest of the Review and Rating of NoelleAs was mentioned before in this review, Noelle is the daughter of Santa Claus and is a Kringle. No, her father’s name is not mentioned, he is only known as Santa. The Kringles have been the Santas that have brought Christmas joy for children for several generations and thousands of years. This is the myth of Santa Claus. Nick Kringle is Noelle’s brother, and it is a play on Santa. Nick would be Saint Nick and Kringle is Chris Kringle. Nick Kringle is not good at being Santa. He has a tough time landing the Sleigh on the roof tops in practice. He struggles with figuring out who is naughty or nice. He does not have the gift of being Santa or the desire. He does not want to be Santa Claus.Noelle Kringle is making her cards, and she calls for her friend the reindeer to come whose name is Snow Cone. Snow Cone is white, and he is flying around the air. He is small like a pup. He is not noticeably big. How Noelle contacts him is by humming a song that she uses to help her to communicate with him. He makes a noise and communicates with her like a cat meowing or a dog barking.Noelle Kringle is training her brother Nick Kringle to be Santa and is struggling with the book of Santa. He does not get it as he points out to Noelle Kringle, his sister. He does not have the gift of being Santa Claus. Being Santa Claus is not his calling.Nick Kringle tells Noelle Kringle when drinking hot chocolate that he is depressed and that he does not want to be Santa Claus. He explains he always has been freezing, he wants to get to a place where he can be warm and not freezing and wants to be able to stretch and breathe. Noelle Kringle is with him, and she explains that he might as well take a break and take the weekend off. He tells her how Santa does not even get Christmas off. She tells him, no one wants a depressing Santa, you need to take the weekend off.Nick Kringle is taking time off and he is gone. Cousin Gabe tells Noelle, Polly, and Noelle’s mother that Nick Kringle is gone. Nick Kringle brought back those magazines that Noelle was talking about with him when they were drinking hot chocolate. Nick has left the North Pole, and everyone blames Noelle for Nick Kringle leaving. Gabe Kringle is now made the new Santa by the Elder Elves. Gabe Kringle is not cut out for this as he is more interested in technology and that this is not his strong suit. Elf Polly who is Noelle’s nanny says to her that what do they know about Christmas? Gabe Kringle is made the new Santa as it is said according to tradition that the new Santa must be a male Santa that is a Kringle. Noelle tells Polly that there are Elder Elves, they are part of the council that decides the new Santa.Noelle is getting backlash from the North Pole community. They are all mad at her. The one who serves her hot chocolate tells her that they will not have any new hot chocolate until July. The one who is the merchant who is a female Elf is charging her more than normal and Noelle is wondering about her Kringle Discount? She cannot believe it cannot be that much. She tells Noelle that it is for Santa’s immediate family, not cousins. The Penguins are also upset with her for having Nick Kringle leave. She told them, “I only told him, to take the weekend off.”Noelle is getting the third degree to say the least. It is making her feel bad, to say the least. Noelle is in bed and just wants to stay there and hide in bed. Her nanny Elf Polly comes in her room to wake her up and get her to stop feeling sorry for herself. She tells Noelle she needs to do her laundry and she tells her to clean up her own mess once. Noelle gets a call to action and realizes what she must do. Noelle looks at the Travel & Leisure magazine and Nick Kringle, her brother, rips a page out of there and she realizes where he had gone to. This will lead Noelle to Phoeniz, Arizona. She says Arizona differently in the story.Noelle is getting the reindeer, and her nanny Elf Polly comes to her, and she is wondering what she is doing. Noelle told Elf Polly, “You told me to clean up my mess and that is actually what I am doing.” Snow Cone will come up to Noelle and ask her to let him help him. The Penguins come up to him giving Noelle a tough time, and she lets them know that she is going to get Nick Kringle back to the North Pole to save Christmas. Elf Polly believes that Noelle is out of her mind to take the sleigh with the reindeer without knowing what she is doing. Noelle tells her, “I must fix my mess, and this will be on Dasher to get us there safely.” As she told Elf Polly, she left her mother a note that she is going to fix her mess, and to get her brother Nick Kringle back. Once she said on Dasher, the reindeer hit each other’s antlers and started to fly the sleigh. They end up in Phoenix, Arizona in the center of the shopping center that has a bunch of shops that sell different items to customers.This is where the search and the fun begin. The reindeer from a guy who works at Petco tells a person whose name is Helen, was it your idea to have reindeer? People have been going into the Petco store to buy reindeer food. He told her it was a great idea, and he sells bird seed as reindeer food. As Noelle tells the guy who works in the Petco store, the reindeer love bird seed. It works for them.Elf Polly tells Noelle; you must go out to Phoenix and search for your brother Nick Kringle. It will be up to you. She tells Noelle, do not tell anyone who you are. Trust no one, as you do not know what people might do. Run if you are in danger.Noelle is searching for her brother in Phoenix, Arizona and she encounters a Santa that she thinks is her brother Nick Kringle. She sees him and finds out that this Santa is not wearing any pants. She tells him that wearing that suit is an honor, please put some pants on. He just eats the food in his hand, and she says that it is so naughty. Noelle goes to the Santa school to ask the owner of the school if he has seen her brother Nick Kringle. He tells her no, and it does not look like one of ours, that suit looks so fake. The one that was not wearing any pants goes into the school to get some pants on.Noelle will encounter Jake’s sign which advertises him to be a private investigator. This means that he is a private detective. Noelle will ask him to help her to find her brother. Noelle will pay Jake with money that says, “In Santa We Trust”. She tells Jake that it is gold on the outside but has chocolate on the inside. Jake tells her people do not usually know what is in the heart even if they have a heart that after Noelle tells him that her brother Nick Kringle wants work in the family business. He just needs a chance to stretch, breathe, and to warm up. Jake tells her to get some sun block because of being in Phoenix, Arizona and that she will need that protection from the sun. The actor who plays Jake Hapman is played by Kingsley Ben-Adir. He later will play Gravtik in Marvel Studios Secret Invasion which I reviewed for this channel. He looks familiar and he was later used for a Marvel Studios project down the road, about 4 years later when Secret Invasion came out.Jake, who is the private investigator, had his phone die, and he tells Noelle that he needs a phone. Noelle tells him that she does not have a phone. Noelle tells Jake why not ask someone for a phone. Jake tells her that you cannot just ask someone for a phone; people will not just give you, their phone. Jake asks a woman, and she tells him like I want your germs on my phone. Noelle looks at a man and tells Jake that he is nice. Jake asks her, “How do you know this?” Noelle tells him, “I just do.” Noelle has the feeling and unlike her brother, she can tell if someone is nice by looking at them because she can sense their hearts. He helps Jake as Noelle says and Jake can call his family. Jake tells Noelle that he will help her and tells her to bring nonedible money.The story will progress, and Noelle will find Nick Kringle and discover him to be a yoga instructor. Jake figured this out after a woman was dressed in yoga pants. Noelle was in a freezer because she was hot. She is not used to this climate of Phoenix; Arizona and she needed some ice. Before that, Noelle was at a homeless shelter, and she was able to sign to the little girl and the little girl wanted only to help her mother get a job and she wanted an iPad. Noelle at this point has met Jake’s son Alex who told Noelle that his father did not do a decent job with cooking breakfast.Noelle discovers that Nick Kringle does not want to be Santa Claus, but he also tells her he is not gifted in this. He would rather be teaching Yoga. Noelle will find out what Christmas means, and she realizes that she is one gifted to be Santa and not Nick.It will take Noelle to understand this when Nick tries to be the shopping mall Santa but has a tough time doing it. He cannot translate any language, and Noelle can understand the kids better than her brother Nick Kringle can. She will be arrested after she took the Santa hat off the Santa that was supposed to be there. She kicked and punched a police officer.Elf Polly must go to Jake and ask her to help him to break Noelle out of the mental hospital. Jake says thank you to Noelle for helping him with her son. Noelle will escape in the sleigh with Elf Polly and her brother Nick Kringle. She tells Jake that you are not a loser even though he believes himself to be one.Noelle, Elf Polly, and her brother Nick Kringle returned to the North Pole. Nick Kringle will convince them who is the right Santa for the job. It is not him; it is his sister Noelle. The Elf whose name is Billy says, “A girl, Santa is not a girl.” The Elf who is female that owns the shop says, “Whoa.” As Elf Gabe says, “I reject the Christmas covenant. There is nothing that says that Santa cannot be a woman. It is something that we have been blindly following for thousands of years.”As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story. What happens to Noelle? Does she figure out what it means to be Santa? Please leave your answers in the comment section below. Thank you.I will give you, my rating. I give Noelle a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells a wonderful story. The idea of Santa Clause being a woman is a momentous change from the traditional idea that Santa Claus is supposed to be white fat man with a white beard. Santa Claus just needs to be someone who loves people, especially children and wants to spread love and joy around the world. Noelle grows up in this movie as she realizes there are those that do not have enough to live on and that they must live in homeless shelters because they do not have a home. Noelle figures her way out and she has a hero journey as she must find her brother Nick Kringle and bring him back to the North Pole. It is remarkably like the parable of the lost sheep. In that story in the bible, Jesus says, “The Shepherd will leave the other 99 sheep, and will look for the one that is lost until he brings that sheep home”. Noelle will also grow and realize this is not about her but doing what is right for Christmas. She will discover what it means to be Santa Claus, but that traditions do change. It might be scary, but it does not mean you cannot find the good in the different. That is why this movie is so good; it is not afraid to buck the trend that Santa Claus must be a man.Please go my Patreon, Substack, and YouTube ChannelPlease go to this link and check out my Newsletter and please subscribe to on my Substack or Patreon Page so you read the articles or listen or watch the Podcast.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the movie that is called the Santa Con that is done by Heartbreak Films that is currently on Disney+. The movie stars Barry Watson as Nick Demarco who was sentenced in prison as a con artist. If Barry Watson sounds familiar to you, it should; he played Matt Camden in 7th Heaven; the oldest son in the Camden family. He gets out on parole thanks to his warden who is played by John Ratzenberger. The warden plays poker with his inmates such as Nick Demarco and Paul Greenberg who is played by Jaleel White. The warden wrote a letter to the parole board telling them that Nick Demarco deserved advance release and a chance to make it right. Nick Demarco convinces them and he gets out. He gets picked up by his sister Rose Demarco who is played by Melissa Joan Hart. Rose Demarco is doubtful her brother can change. She gets him a job as shopping mall Santa. On the first day of the job, he promises a little boy that he can get his mother and father back together at Christmas. Rose tells him, “Do you know what you did?” Rose is furious with Nick, and Nick must figure out how to get this boy’s parents back together. The name of the boy is Billy Guthrie, and his parents are Carol Guthrie and John Guthrie. Nick has his work cut out for him as they are estranged, and the dad John Guthrie who is an alcoholic. Nick will meet a pastor whose name is Ruth, and she tells him that you must figure this out. It may be hard, but you can do it. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Please click here to watch the trailer of the Santa ConRest of Review and Rating of the Santa ConAs was mentioned before, Nick Demarco was a con artist that got out on parole. He promised to get 7-year-old Billy’s parents John Guthrie and Carol Guthrie back together while working as a shopping mall Santa. Nick Demarco ends up being left in the parking lot by his sister Rose Demarco who is played by Melissa Joan Hart which I mentioned in the last review of Feliz Navidad that she is well known for playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She is frustrated at her brother for not thinking about the consequences. He walks in the rain for a while with his bag in his hand because she left him out of the house after he made that promise. He finds a church and while entering in the church; he meets Pastor Ruth. Ruth tells him about the alien in the man’s stomach, and she tells him what he was feeling about the guilt of that promise to 7-year-old Billy. She uses that as an analogy and tells him you must be like Sigourney Weaver and kill that alien and force the alien out of the ship. You must figure this out. Nick Demarco tells Pastor Ruth, how am I supposed to do this? He also tells Pastor Ruth that he does not believe in God. Pastor Ruth tells Nick Demarco that God can take it, he is a grown up. This is true, God can take it. People want God to be in this small box, but if God is infinite as is said about God, then God can take it, and can he not do the things that is said about him. Pastor Ruth asks Nick, “what did you get in prison for?” He tells her, “Rifting.” Pastor Ruth lets him know that is your answer. Using that skill to help this family is what she is telling Nick Demarco.Nick Demarco realizes what he must do. He goes back to his sister Rose Demarco and tells her that he must figure out how to get Billy Guthrie’s parents John Guthrie and Carol Guthrie back together. Carol Guthrie kicked her husband John Guthrie out of the house because he would not give up his drinking. John Guthrie is an alcoholic. This means they have a tough time stopping drinking. They usually need to get help from groups like AA which means Alcoholics Anonymous. They usually meet in churches, and they also meet in hospitals.Nick Demarco gets help from his sister Rose Demarco, and she tells him about the $5,800, if I correctly remember the amount that he got from the sale of his mother’s estate. This was his share of the estate. Nick Demarco finds out where Billy Guthrie lives, and he watches the construction crew that is sorry. They have not gotten a 2-week project done. It has taken them 4 weeks and they are only halfway done. Nick Demarco will cause the foundation to go down, but that would have been easy since they have not finished. Nick Demarco will tell Carol Guthrie that his name is Nick Kessington and that he has worked on construction projects for the governor and that he is working on a project for Derek Jeter. He has Kessington Construction Company on the truck, and it looks like a professional construction company and the truck looks like that as well.Nick Demarco will develop a good relationship with Billy Guthrie, the 7-year-old boy that he promised to help get his estranged parents of Carol Guthrie and John Guthrie back together. Nick Demarco will get his friend Paul Greenberg out of prison who is played by Jaleel White. If Jaleel White sounds familiar, he should, his most well-known role is playing Steve Urkel in Family Matters. He was the annoying neighbor of the Win-slows who was extremely smart. Paul Greenberg went to prison for hacking the Pentagon and he is using that skill to help his friend Nick Demarco. Nick asks his friend to pretend to be him as the shopping mall Santa. This will help him be able to be at Guthrie’s house as Nick Kessington. Nick knows that his work is not done. Billy Guthrie will recognize Nick Kessington and wonder where he seen him before. Nick Kessington tells him, I must have one of those faces and voices.The relationship that Nick and Billy Guthrie develop is a good strong bond and Nick Demarco helped Billy Guthrie to learn the musical cords to the piano. Nick will also meet John Guthrie at the Naughty Tavern and try to convince him to get the help he needs so that John Guthrie can get better. John Guthrie claims he does not need his help, he is more interested in drinking. That is what happens when a person is addicted to a substance like alcohol. It will become that individual’s life and that person will want that substance more than they want their life. It is easy to believe what does it matter if I am doing this to myself, who does it hurt? It hurts no one, but that is not true. It hurts a lot of people, and suddenly you are alone because of it. To say no one needs no one, that is a lie at best.Nick Demarco is considering running when he feels that he is failing. He feels he cannot get them back together. He is on a bus to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Nick Demarco will run into Pastor Ruth, and she tells him that she is going to where she is needed. Nick Demarco tells her that it is hard because not only does he not feel he cannot succeed at this, but he has also fallen in love with Carol Guthrie. She tells him, so what, you must figure this out. You may not be able to get them back together, but you can give it all you have. You must do it until there is no gas in the tank. Nick Demarco tells Pastor Ruth that he does not believe in God. Pastor Ruth tells him, it does matter, God believes in you even if you do not believe in yourself.Nick Demarco realizes what he must do. He gets John Guthrie out of jail. He helps John Guthrie with what he must do. Are you willing to get the help you need? John Guthrie tells him; he does not know if he does. Nick Demarco wants to figure things out.Nick Demarco is with Carol Guthrie after he and Paul Greenberg hacked into the advertising company’s computer and found out that Nick Guthrie’s partner Steve Rapperton stole intellectual property from John Guthrie and claimed that it was his own. Steve Rapperton got a promotion based off that. Paul Greenberg forwarded it to the owner of the advertising company that Steve Rapperton stole this information and used it for his gain to get that promotion. Steve Rapperton gets fired and this will cause him to seek vengeance. Carol Guthrie says that she is glad, but John, her husband, needs to prove that he will get help and that he will not be the person he used to be.Nick Demarco takes that to her husband and plays the recorder that Carol Guthrie plays to help with her ideas when she is working on designing websites. She can mostly work from home, which is nice. This allows her to be with her son and help to raise him when he still needed his mother at the crucial age of 7. John Guthrie asks him; how did you get that. Nick tells John Guthrie; it does not matter. What are you going to do about it? John tells Nick that he is sorry about what happened to his wife and his son. Nick tells him that is not enough John, it is the deed. That is true; it is not who we are that matters, but what we do that matters. This is a call to action for John Guthrie.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story that this movie is telling.I will give you, my rating. I give the Santa Con a 10 out of 10. It was fun but it tells an immensely powerful story. The story hits on several themes. It helps the viewer to understand the importance of family and how addictions such to substances like alcohol have deleterious effects and how it can destroy families if a person makes that substance more important than their families. It happens more often than any decent person would like to see. Getting help if you need it, is not weakness; it is a sign of strength. It is important to realize that no person is not an island to him or herself. Each person needs someone else. We all share our story with others. Each person might think that their story is their own, but it is not. Any person that encounters another person shares their story with others. That is a hard lesson to learn. I can attest to it from personal experience. Nick Demarco realizes that he can make up for what he did in the past, and he gets challenged to use his skills of being con artist to help others instead of hurting others. He grows in this movie, and when a character grows in a movie; that is a sign of good storytelling.Remember to support the channel and NewsletterPlease help support the Channel by becoming a Patron or signing up for YouTube Memberships.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Lifetime’s movie called Feliz Navidad that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. This movie will star Mario Lopez who plays David Morales who is a high school principal in a small town in Arizona and the name of the town is Pine star. One of the first things anyone can think of Mario Lopez is his role as AC slater in Saved by the Bell. This movie is directed by Melissa Joan Hart who has a small role in the movie, and she is well known for playing Sabrina the Teenage Witch which is an archie comic. David Morales has a tough time with dealing with his wife’s Isabella’s death around the Christmas season. He needs to stay busy so that he does not have to deal with the pain. His sister Marissa Morales tells him, Mom and Dad taught us about family and the importance of family. You cannot forget about family. You must realize that it is not the truth to why you work like this during the Christmas season. You do it to avoid the pain of losing your wife Isabella. Marissa points that out to her brother David. Noelle, David’s daughter, will find out the truth, and she with her aunt Marissa convince her father David to date again. She points out to her father that you will only heal if you start having a life again. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank you for your support and Please supportI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make; it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help by signing up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent.

Now on with the review.Rest of review and rating of Feliz NaviDADAs was pointed out earlier in this review, David Morales who is played by Mario Lopez is struggling with his wife’s death. His wife’s name is Isabella. David lost his wife several years ago during the Christmas season. He struggles during Christmas, and he must stay busy to deal with the pain. It is easier to bury the pain than to deal with it. His daughter Noelle and his sister Marissa convince David to date again. David tells Marissa that the reason he takes the SSD job is because he must pay for Noelle’s college fund once she graduates high school. As Marissa points out to her brother David Morales, you do not need to do that. You do this job because you cannot deal with the pain of losing your wife Isabella. David tells Marissa that their dad worked 3 jobs. Marissa tells her brother David that dad always made time for Christmas. Mom and Dad always told us family is what matters. Noelle will overhear their conversation once she comes back to the kitchen to get her phone.David Morales will encounter Noelle, his daughter, at the ice cream shop that they both like to go to. David Morales is Noelle’s high school principal as well as her dad. Noelle is a freshman at Pine Star high school that he is the principal at. Noelle tells her father that mom is still here. She compares it to science class that you cannot create energy or destroy energy. Energy will just transform into a different state. Mom is in a different state. That makes sense. Native Americans believe that the spirits can give their loved ones’ signs and if a person is looking for it, it will show up. It was mentioned in Haunted Mansion that sometimes spirits will communicate with their loved ones in ways that loved ones recognize. It could be by a train or simply as a dog being named Tater Tot.This is mentioned in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. When Megatron thought that the All spark was destroyed, that was it. The Fallen told Megatron that it cannot be destroyed, it can only transform to something else. The knowledge of the All spark was absorbed by Sam Witwicky. This is what happened to David’s wife Isabella. She is now in a different state. She is a ghost.David Morales tells his daughter Noelle that he will be at her rehearsals for the Frosty Fest. Noelle likes to perform by playing bells and singing. The actress that plays Noelle is attractive and has a great voice. Noelle tells him, you are not getting off that easy. You need to put yourself out there. David tells his daughter Noelle; he is not sure if he is ready to date again. Noelle points out to her father David that what have you always told me about swimming. David tells his daughter Noelle, you are never ready to swim, you just must jump in the water.Noelle, David’s daughter, and David’s sister Marissa Morales set up an online dating profile on a dating website. David is reluctant to do this, but it is important for him to heal from the pain of losing his wife Isabella several years ago during the Christmas season. David will be first matched with Sophie who has been helping to deliver toys that her father Willard is selling to other people that are interested in them. David is wearing a blue shirt that Noelle, his daughter and Marissa, his sister tell him to bring out his eyes. David says he wants to wear the red sweater vest. They say no, you must wear this as this will work better as the blue shirt is your power shirt. They tell him, this is why you need us.David will get to the coffee shop, and he is waiting for his date. He found out that it was Sophie. David tells Sophie that he has been out of the dating game for a while. Sophie tells him that she felt that he would be a great practice date. David already knew Sophie since he had been helping her, and her father Willard delivered the toys that he had been selling. Willard tells David that the reason he is selling the toys is because this gives him an excuse to spend time with his daughter Sophie and that this helps him to deal with the pain of losing his wife and Sophie’s mother.This makes a common bond for Sophie and Noelle since they both lost their mothers. They develop a good relationship and Sophie helps Noelle with private lessons to sing. Noelle loves music and Sophie is a professional musician for the Phoenix Symphony. Sophie told David on their first practice date that she loves classical music. Sophie will be recruited by David to help his high school with their music club. Sophie agrees to do that, and this will help Jesse Vargas who has been leading the music club. He is a baseball coach of the high school baseball team. This is not his forte, but he is doing the best he can. He told his friend David Morales who happens to be the principal and his boss, if we are to succeed at this; we need a professional to help these kids. David listened to his friend Jesse Vargas and got them a professional musician who can get these kids ready for the Frosty Fest.Sophie is concerned about the effect of her dating David, Noelle’s father. Noelle told Sophie that she encouraged her father to date and that he wanted him to be happy. My mother was a wonderful woman, but she would want my father to be happy and not to just run away from his pain and life. My father is a wonderful man, and he deserves to have someone to love him like my mother did when she was alive.David Morales will date other women and run into a woman who is played by Melissa Joan Hart. She will tell David that this will not work as you are a libra and I am a cancer. She knew that by what the stones told her. David will go away disappointed.David will date a woman who is fitness nut. She is obsessed with fitness. I would have been freaked out too. I like to exercise, but she takes that to the next level of crazy.David will date a woman who is nice, but he does not have chemistry for her. He tells her, the reason he is dating is because his daughter encouraged him to do so. She will tell him, you will be okay David, you just need to follow your heart. She gave him a number to her therapist. David will see Sophie at the restaurant.The dates that David enjoys are his practice dates with Sophie. He will run into Sophie and tell her when she is at her father’s house that he enjoys dates with her. David tells Sophie that the dates he has been on have been disasters. He has had no chemistry with the women he has been on dates with. It is understandable to that affect to why that is. The viewer will see that he has no chemistry with these women and the chemistry he has is with Sophie. David will meet Sophie at the park and is walking on the trails with Sophie. He loses track of time and realizes he forgot the white gloves that he needed to get from the dry cleaners for the kids to play the bells. Marissa, David’s sister tells him, let us break the glass. Noelle will point out to her aunt Marissa, that it will not work.Sophie will come to the rescue with white gloves that her mother had when her mother was alive. This will help the kids in the Frosty Fest competition. What song do they sing in Frosty Fest? If you know the answer, leave your answer in the comment section below. Thank you.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the story of this movie.I will give you, my rating. I give Feliz Navidad a 10 out of 10. It was fun but told a very wonderful story. It touched on David Morales’ pain and helped the viewer to understand why he stayed busy like he did. He was running from his pain and his sister Marissa, and his daughter Noelle pointed that out to him. They tell him you need to go out and date and have a life. You cannot run away from what life has brought you; you must face it. You do not face that alone; we all need to love and be loved. We all need friends in our lives and that special someone to share our story with. No story is just our own, it is shared with others. I have a great friend, and I hope she will know what she means to me. She told me to focus on the light not on the darkness that life can bring. It helps and I thank her for giving me that advice. It is a big help.How to support the Channel and NewsletterPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Joe Pickett Season 2 that is currently on Paramount+. I will go over several topics in this episode. When the viewer watches season 2, he or she will see a recap of the 1st season. The 1st season was based on the first book of Open Season and had parts of the third book of Winterkill according to Wikipedia. The 2nd season of Joe Pickett consists of 3 books of Blood Trail, Nowhere to Run, and Force of Nature. Blood Trail is the 8th book of the Joe Pickett book series, and this is where they pulled characters such as Klamath Moore, Shenandoah, Buck Lothar, Charlie Conway, Randy Pope, and the dead hunter of Frank Urman who has his chopped off and left strung up like a dead animal. Nowhere to Run is the 10th book of the Joe Pickett series and it pulls characters such as Caleb and Camish Grimmengruber. The scene in the forest where Joe Pickett catches Caleb Grim fishing is accurate to the book. Joe does catch him fishing in Nowhere to Run, and he goes up with him to meet his brother on the log. They hate the government for a good reason as the government took their land by eminent domain to develop a bigger business as it quotes would generate more tax dollars for the government to have. Joe Pickett will get his satellite phone stolen and this accurate to the book, and he gets shot with an arrow as well as have his horse killed and eaten by the Grim brothers is accurate to the book. In Force of Nature, Nate Romanski is being hunted by John Nemcek and that is accurate to the book that they pulled to use for the 2nd season of Joe Pickett. Nate Romanski being shot by a bunch of hunters claiming that their father having a heart attack is accurate and he must kill them before he gets killed is accurate to the book. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank to those who help to support and do your support the channelI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Rest of Review and my rating of Joe Pickett Season 2As was mentioned before in this review, the 2nd season of this series pulls from 3 books of the Joe Pickett book series. The 3 books are Blood Trail, Nowhere to Run, and Force of Nature. The first episode of the 2nd season of Joe Pickett pulls a lot from Blood Trail and Nowhere to Run. Marybeth Pickett asks Joe Pickett to search for a missing hunter that has not returned. Marybeth Pickett has been representing the wife of the missing hunter. The hunter’s name is Frank Urman, and the wife’s name is Blair Urman. The character Luke Brueggeman was pulled from the Force of Nature book. This character in that book was a wildcard. Luke Bruggeman is not who the reader thinks he is in that book. In the series, it appears Luke Bruggeman is just an innocent kid. The season will leave it open to that. Joe Pickett will be hunted down after he encounters the Grim brothers, and those characters are in Nowhere to Run book in the woods as mentioned before in this review.The 2nd episode of the 2nd season of Joe Pickett series will have Joe Pickett running for his life with a wounded leg with an arrow sticking in his leg. Joe Pickett will get in a house, and he runs into a woman who is a mystery. In that book of Nowhere to Run, Joe Pickett does run into a woman, but it is a different woman than in this episode. If you know who answers, please leave your answers in the comment section below. Thank you. Joe Pickett will end up in the hospital and Marybeth Pickett will ask him when he is there, are you trying to get yourself killed? Joe Pickett is dealing with the trauma of being abused by his father George Pickett. His mother Sadie Pickett was abused by his father George Pickett who is a drunk. Joe’s brother committed suicide by driving his car off a hill in Yellowstone National Park.The season will progress with Klamath Moore using the body of the dead hunter whose name is Frank Urman in his campaign to End the Slaughter. Klamath Moore wants to protect innocent animals and he believes that hunting is cruel. There are trophy hunters that hunt animals for sport and cut off the head and put the head of that animal as a plaque in their business or house. This is true as there have been prominent people that shot animals from a helicopter to just for sport. These people are horrible. This is an unfortunate set of events, but it happens more than any decent person would like to see. Hunters help to curb down the herd and if there is no natural predator, you need hunters to curb the herd down. This is taught in science class and if you have too many animals, you need to curb the herd down. This is called a carrying capacity, this is why nature has other animals that are predators to these animals so the herd can be curbed down.Klamath Moore is invited by Sheridan Pickett’s teacher, and he is telling the children that this is murder. If one is asking, this is accurate to Blood Trail as this was in that book. Sheridan Pickett will call Klamath Moore an a*****e. She tells him that it is important for animals to be hunted as it is important to make sure the population does not go over the carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is taught in biology class and is one the most basic things one can learn. Joe Pickett is asked to pick up Sheridan Pickett from class. The teacher tells him, we have an antibullying policy at this school. Joe asks her, who does she pick on? Sheridan tells Joe that it was Klamath Moore. Joe says, what is that a*****e doing in my daughter’s class? The teacher cannot believe his response and Joe tells Sheridan, you are not in trouble, you will get an ice cream.Joe Pickett is dealing with personal pain that he does not want to deal with. The school counselor that has been helping Sheridan with her grief tells Joe Pickett that if you do not deal with this, it can manifest itself in unimaginable ways. Grief and pain do not stay buried forever. It is true as I would tell you I was in a horrible accident where I was T-boned. I know about burying pain. I have done it and like Joe Pickett; whether he wants to admit it or not, he cannot do this on his own. As a friend told me, it is never good when you try to do things yourself. It is good when we get help, and as I keep learning if you have good friends in your life, they really do not mind helping you. It is not selfish to ask for help, no one is an island to him or herself.The season will progress, and the series will let the viewers know why the hunters are being killed. Randy Pope finds a head of the dead hunter of Frank Urman in his room. It is accurate to the book of Blood Trail. Randy Pope gets freaked out and that is understandable. If any person found the dead head of a human being in their bedroom, it would be unnerving to say the least.Randy Pope is important in this season as he does become Joe Pickett’s new boss, and he wants to fire him. In the book of Blood Trail, Joe Pickett was fired by Randy Pope, but is working for the governor as an independent contractor. Randy Pope is upset with Joe Pickett for handcuffing Wally Conway to the steering wheel of his car. Wally Conway gets shot as well as Luke Bruggeman. It was a distinctive character in the book. Randy Pope gets upset with Joe Pickett, and Joe is choking Randy and if the Sheriff does not stop him; he will kill him. Joe Pickett is furious as to what has happened to Luke. It was a cluster f**k as Buck Lothar was killed by the nephew of the dead hunter that had his head chopped off. This is accurate to the book of Blood Trail as well.Randy Pope will be arrested for being Wolverine on Stop the Slaughter. In the book, the character of Wolverine was a different individual. It has changed, but it works here. Randy Pope will be in jail for killing the hunter known as Frank Urman. Randy Pope will tell Joe Pickett that Frank was his friend and that he would never try to kill him. Randy Pope will be used later as bait to lure the killer out. Everyone in the book believes it to be Klamath Moore as they believed him to be the killer. Klamath Moore was suspected of killing these hunters to help his agenda and he was hoping to make them pay for raping his wife of Shenandoah. Randy Pope is the bait. The Sheriff will kill Klamath Moore as he believed he had a weapon. Klamath Moore has a phone instead of a gun. The real killer of these hunters is Shenandoah as she was raped. This is accurate to the book. The series will have her live instead of being killed off. This is a change to the book, but it works here. Nate Romanski was with Joe Pickett in the trap they set for the killer of these hunters.There is concern among the Scarletts as they are concerned about the person who may be able to identify them to the rapes that were happening to these young women. These women were tricked into being cooks and then they were led into being raped. The young women were given a drink that contained ecstasy. Especially mixed with alcohol, ecstasy can depilate a person and can cause a person to pass out. It is the rape drug and is used in most common rapes. These are serial rapists, and they are looking for a reason to have sex. These people that were killed raped Shenandoah and is understandable to why she kills them. The police did not believe her, and it is not unheard of for them not to.The Grim brothers are protecting the woman that was in the cabin that helped to heal Joe Pickett to health. The Grim brothers were wronged by the state of Michigan when their land was taken by the government to give to some wealthy developer to develop a new business. The Grim brothers had a meat packing business, but it was taken over by eminent domain. Eminent domain is not unheard of, and the government can take land by eminent domain. It is legal, but it does not make it right. The Grim brothers must protect the woman that the Scarletts are looking for before she can identify Hank Scarlett as one of the men that raped her and every other woman that was tricked to be the cook for these men that went on these hunting trips.The scene where Nate Romanski calls Joe Pickett on the pay phone is accurate. He tells the dispatcher of the Game and Fish in Cheyene, WY that he needs the game warden to come. He tells Joe Pickett that there is a man after him, and he needs to go into hiding. This scene is accurate to the book of Force of Nature.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the season to the climax and if Paramount wanted to, they could do another season.I will give you, my rating. I give Joe Pickett Season 2, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, but it touches on issues that needed to be talked about. The series does an excellent job of staying true to Joe Pickett and the characters in the books of Joe Pickett. It talks about the issues of rape, and usually if women report to the police that they have been raped; no one believes them. They are considered crazy, or it was the woman’s fault that she was raped in the 1st place. The excuse is if you were not as attractive as you are, then this would not happen to you. It is blaming the victim for being a victim. It is not like blaming the victim, if a person got mugged, or murdered. This is unfortunate, but this happens more than any decent person would like to see. It is understandable why Shenandoah killed these men. These men were serial rapists and unless someone stopped them, they would destroy more lives. Eminent domain is important as if there is eminent domain, the government can seize land for any reason. It does not make it right, but it is not illegal. This is what happens to the Grim brothers, and it is accurate to the book of Nowhere to Run. Joe Pickett dealing with the pain of his childhood is powerful and this helps to humanize this character. Males are bad about letting others help them as they see this as weakness, and this is unfortunate. As I told you before, I know all too well about burying pain and have not told many people about it. I have told 2 people about it and in time, their love and friendship have helped me. I thank them for their help, and it means a lot. It is never easy to ask for help, but it is important to do so. Managing the pain is important, and one never is completely free of the pain, but if a person gets help for it, it helps. Joe tells Marybeth that he has a tough time asking for help. Marybeth tells him, “I will be glad to help you; all you must do is ask.” The changes are good. Just like with any adaptation. Look at comic book movies and TV series, it is not always a carbon copy of those books. What any good adaptation does is that it keeps the essence of those characters, and the viewer knows that this is what these characters would do, and it stays true that, then that is all that matters. It is unfortunate that this series has been cancelled. It is particularly good, and personally it would be good to see more episodes. If Paramount decides not to go that way, they can make a movie about Joe Pickett. Personally, it would be great to see.Do your part to help the Channel and Newsletter and go to reviews that I recommendPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and getting your own set of merchandise today as if you go on Black Friday, you will get free shipping.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacirtic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacirtic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Haunted Mansion, the 2023 version of the Disney Movie. This movie will star notable actors such as Rosario Dawson who plays a widow named Gabbie that lost her husband and her son in that movie of Haunted Mansion. It will also have notable actors such as Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Danny Devito. It also has actors that are not as notable as LaKeith Stanfield, and Chase Dillon. Each of these characters in this story serves a particular purpose and they each have a role to play. There are several ghosts that are haunting this mansion, but there is one controlling it. This ghost was a murderer in life and remains one in death. He keeps the other spirits trapped there, so that he can get what he wants. He wants to be free to roam the Earth and do what he plans to do. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank you for your support of the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Rest of review and rating of The Haunted Manison 2023 versionAs was mentioned before in this review, the main ghost in charge has an agenda and keeps the other ghosts trapped there. This mansion belonged to a man named William Gracey. He was desperate to find his wife whose name is Eleanor Gracey. He hired Madame Leota to help find her and she is played by Jamie Lee Curtis. She warns him that you could bring things here that you do not intend to bring. William Gracy does not care he wants to find Eleanor Gracey and in doing so they release a ghost whose intentions are to keep them there. This does not mean that they must be living. The ghost traps Madame Leota in her crystal ball. William Gracey ends up dying because of this sick twisted of a man of a ghost. William Gracey will be trapped in his house still looking for his wife Eleanor Gracey in this world when she has already travelled to the world beyond.Rosario Dawson plays Gabbie who came from New York City to have a fresh start with her son Travis. She lost her husband and Travis his father. This is hard for anyone. Grief is hard at any age. It can eat away your soul. Gabbie is from the New Orleans area. She decides to move back there. She and her son get there. This is the beginning of the movie. She gets there and the movers tell her that it will be a while before they get their stuff there. She makes the joke that it sounds more like a dinner and movie than you stopped for and not just lunch. She points out to them, we left at the same time, how are you 4 hours behind? Each person can tell stories about movers and how they quote will get their stuff moved to their new house. They will go into the house, and they find out that the house is haunted. The knight Armour will attack them without having a physical person in there or a person using a remote to play a practical joke. They run and claim that they will not be back. As the main ghost who is holding all the cards says, you will be back. The ghost is right about that, and they end up going back.Father Kent, who is played by Owen Wilson, will be going to Ben Mathias who is played by LaKeith Stanfield. Father Kent will tell Ben Mathias; you have a camera that can read ghosts. He tells Ben Mathias; you must help this woman and her son. Father Kent tells Ben Mathias, are you ready to be a hero? Ben Mathias tells him; I am not sure that I want to be a hero. Father Kent tells him; you can be a hero and you can also be a paid one. Father Kent tells Ben Mathias that the job will pay him $2,000.00. Ben Mathias is stunned that it will be so much money. Ben Mathias is skeptical of it. He does not believe that there will be any ghosts. He is a tour guide, and he tells people that the only ghosts he sees are people dressed as ghosts.Ben Mathias gets to the house where he meets Gabbie and her son Travis. Gabbie warns him that if you step into this house, it will change your life. Ben Mathias says, okay. Ben Mathias is still skeptical that he is going to run into any ghosts in the house. He is acting like he is taking pictures of the ghosts and not taking it seriously. She gave him an envelope of cash of $2,000.00.Ben Mathias will get home and not believe this until it starts happening to him at his house. His house will start to get haunted, and he gets haunted by the Mariner ghost. Ben Mathias will take a picture of the ghost and it will show the spectral image of this ghost. He starts to realize that this ghost is real. The ghost starts to flood his house and he must get out of there before he is drowned in this flood that is happening in his house. He is forced to go back to the haunted mansion.Ben Mathias will get back to the haunted mansion. Gabbie tells her son Travis, right on cue, please get him some sheets. Ben Mathias is frustrated, but as Gabbie tells him, I did warn you if you stepped in this house, it would change your life. She was not wrong in that. She did warn him, and he can claim all he wants. Father Kent is there, and Ben Mathias is upset with him. Father Kent also tells him; you did want to be a hero. Ben Mathias tells him, no I did not, I wanted the $2,000.00 that I was going to be paid. That is true, but Gabbie did pay Ben Mathias the money that was promised to him. It could have been easy to be upset with them, but this is not of their making. Father Kent tried to exorcise the ghosts out of the house, but they never left. This usually means these spirits have unresolved issues and have not been able to move on. Ben Mathias feels bad because he did not tell his wife that he did not love her before she died. As Gabbie tells Ben Mathias, your wife knew that you loved her. Ben Mathias needs to realize; his wife would want him to move on with his life.The next character that will end up stuck in the haunted mansion is Harriet who is played by Tiffany Haddish. Harriet is a psychic. She can talk to spirits, but later the movie will show that she can banish them. She will need the help of Madame Leota that is played by Jamie Lee Curtis in this movie. She tells people such as Father Kent and Ben Mathias how to be paid. She takes PayPal as she points out to them. She will try to contact Madame Leota after she was successful in contacting William Gracey, and she is thrown out by the ghost who is the main player in all this. She is thrown into the dirt.The next character to get trapped in the haunted mansion is Bruce Davis. He gets caught in a unique way. He has his stuff stolen by Ben Mathias and Father Kent. Ben Mathias and Father Kent tell him, you do not want to do that. Bruce Davis wants to see this mansion, but he gets there and once he is there, he ends up in the chair and thrown right into the truck. He survives being hit by the truck and is in the hospital; there are ghosts getting in the IV tubes. Ben Mathias and Gabbie must get Bruce Davis out of there. Bruce Davis will be critical in figuring out what must be done. He points out to be Ben Mathias and Harriet; we must find Madame Leota. She is the key to defeating this son of a gun of a ghost.Ben Mathias will go to the astral plane, and he will encounter the ghost that has been causing all the problems. As he tells Bruce Davis, the image of the ghost is burned on his brain. Bruce Davis suggests to him, let us take this to a sketch artist. The sketch artist can draw a picture of the ghost and they are able to identify this ghost. It will not be revealed here, but the movie states that the ghost had a prominent mansion, and it was turned into a bed and breakfast. It also has tours of the mansion that show the ghost’s life. Who is the main ghost? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.They must get the ghost’s top hat to defeat this ghost. It will be a trick. Ben Mathias, Father Kent, and Travis go to the top hat. They get the top hat. There will be bumps and bruises along the way. Both Ben Matias and Travis will be targeted because they grieve a person that they lost. The ghost plans to use that against them.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the story.I will give you, my rating. I give the 2023 version of the Haunted Mansion, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but shows how grief can affect a person. Each person’s grief can manifest itself in diverse ways. It is a matter of how each person manages it. It is not easy, but if each person has people in his or her life that love him or her it makes it easier to manage. Life is not easy. I personally carry grief, and it is not easy to get rid of it. Each person must do his or best to deal with it. The grief of my accident has been a weight that I have carried a long time, and it is not easy to let things like my accident go. We do have to let go. As was mentioned in Star Wars Rebels, Ahsoka tells Ezra, you must let go of Canan. Canan sacrificed his life so that you can live. You must trust that. Ahsoka is right in that. This is no different here, both Ben Mathias and Travis must let go of their loved ones, so they can move on. That is easier said than done. That is always the hardest thing to do. I understand this from personal experience. No matter what it is, it is always hard to let go, but a person must do that.Please help support the Channel and the NewsletterPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Season 1 of the 1923 series on Paramount+. It is part of the Yellowstone storyline as they mention Yellowstone in this series. It stars Harrison Ford as Jacob Dutton and Helen Mirren as Cara Dutton. The series begins with Cara Dutton hunting down an attacker, and she kills him before he can get his gun loaded. She had to reload her gun with the bullets that she needed to kill him. She was enraged as she was afraid of what had happened. The scene will later show what happens to her husband Jacob Dutton, her nephew Jack Dutton, and her nephew Jack’s fiancé Elizabeth Strafford. This will happen in the 3rd or 4th episode if I remember this correctly. This series will show how bad the Indian schools were to Native Americans as well as if you marry a person of a different race, that person of a different race will be arrested. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Thank you for your support of the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Rest of review and rating of 1923 Season 1As was mentioned before in this review, the series starts off with Cara Dutton being enraged at what had happened to her family. If this happened to anyone like Cara Dutton, any person would be as frustrated as she was. She is afraid and this is understandable. The series will flashback to before this event happened. Cara Dutton and Jacob Dutton live on a ranch in Montana and Jacob Dutton is a Cattle Rancher. The herd must be moved, so they can find grass to eat. If the cows do not have grass to eat, they will starve. They can live off feed, but you must buy it. It can be expensive to buy. People would look at prices and say that is not that bad. People made less money back then, and one must take into consideration that word called inflation. Prices go up usually. There are two things that go up and down, gas and the stock market. Most things go up. Food prices go up and down is one of them. Food prices usually go up not down.Jack Dutton will be dating Elizabeth Strafford and decides he wants to marry her. She will say yes and will become his fiancé. She will be frustrated with him as she wants to have her wedding at a certain point. Jack tells her that he needs to get the cattle moved, if they do not, it would be bad. If you own a cattle ranch, you must do what you must. The cows are not going to care if you have a wedding or not. Cara Dutton tells Elizabeth Strafford that the work of the ranch must come first, or you will have no income, if they do not survive. Elizabeth Strafford understands this once she talks with Cara Dutton, and she forgives Jack and understands what must be done. She and he embraced each other later.This season does an excellent job of portraying how awful the Indian Schools were. The main actress that plays the Indian girl Teonna Rainwater shows how strong she is. She is taking abuse from these Nuns and the Priest (Headmaster) Father Renaud who runs the school. As one of the Nuns named Sister Mary claims to Teonna Rainwater, she is working to get the Indian out of her. Yes, Indians are called Native Americans or Indigenous people in this day of age. Back in 1923, they were called Indians. The reason they were called Indians to start with is, back in 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed in America, he thought he landed in India, and hence that is why he called them Indians. At the time, Christopher Columbus had no idea he landed on another continent or two continents.The season will progress with Jacob Dutton telling Banner Creighton, you better stay off other people’s land. Banner Creighton will have his sheep go on Jacob Dutton’s land, and Jacob Dutton along with his nephew Jack Dutton, and others that work with him will wrestle with Banner Creighton and his men. Jack Dutton will hang Banner Creighton and the men that work with Banner. Banner is the only one to survive the hanging as the other men die. Banner will later get his gun and he will have a machine gun. He later will shoot at Jacob Dutton and a lot of people with the machine gun. This will get back to the beginning of the series where Cara Dutton will shoot one Banner Creighton’s men after this happens.Cara Dutton must nurse her husband, Jacob Dutton, Jack Dutton, and her nephew Jack Dutton’s fiancé of Elizabeth Strafford back to health. The show does an excellent job of showing what happens when a person gets shot and what must be done to nurse them back to health. Someone may ask, how can a person survive? People can survive a lot of things, if they have the will to live in the first place. That is what it will take.Part of the series takes place in Africa where Spencer Dutton is a hunter who helps people who do Safaris. He is there because he is running from his demons. Spencer Dutton is the nephew of Cara Dutton and Jacob Dutton. He served in World War I and is suffering from PTSD. This means he struggles with what is going on inside of his soul. He will meet the woman he loves on this Safari. Alexandra comes from London, England. Yes, she is British. She is engaged to a stuck-up guy who is high up there. He would be the Earl of Sussex. She does not want to marry him as she does not love him. She falls in love with Spencer Dutton, and their adventure begins. Spencer Dutton and Alexandra must survive a night when the lions and the leopards were out. Before that Spencer Dutton must get rid of two leopards at the safari camp. Th person who hired him did not tell Spencer Dutton that there were two leopards. The two men that were with Spencer Dutton got killed because of not having that information. Spencer Dutton is upset and that is understandable and wants the man that failed not to tell him that information that he needed to know. He does not kill that man, but it is understandable.Cara Dutton will write to her nephew Spencer Dutton telling him, you must come home. Whatever demons you are facing, you must get over them, and come home. You are needed here, and the ranch will be in trouble if you do not come home. She is right as it is in the crosshairs of Banner Creighton and Donald Whitfield who is played by Timothy Dalton.Timothy Dalton does an excellent job of playing Donald Whitfield. He wants all the land as he bought the Strafford Estate. Mrs. Strafford sold her estate to Donald Whitfield and moved back east after what happened to her daughter Elizabeth Strafford. Elizabeth Strafford told her mother that she would not go back east with her mother. She wants to stay here with her fiancé of Jack Dutton. Donald Witfield wants to buy up all the ranches so that he can have his mines. He wants the minerals that are in there. The minerals he is looking for are silver. As Jacob Dutton tells his wife Cara Dutton, what does not have a recession. She says gold, but as was pointed out to me, gold is not common in Montana. You are more likely to find silver. It makes sense, silver is very valuable and would make a person very rich. What Donald Whitfield is looking for is generational wealth. Generational wealth is the closest thing to immortality that you can get. This makes sense, he wants his name on buildings as he wants to be remembered. This is what he tells Banner Creighton. If you want to hurt Jacob Dutton, take his land; this is the best way to hurt him. This will sting worse than anything else. This will be worse than death.Spencer Dutton and Alexandra ride on a boat with a man that is not well. The man who is the captain of the boat dies and Spencer Dutton and Alexandra must survive the boat tipping over. A military boat finds them, and the captain of the boat marries both Spencer Dutton and Alexandra on that boat. Spencer Dutton asked him to do that as he told him, you can marry us since we are over international waters. That is true as the captain does agree to do this. They will later run into the stiff of a man that is a stuck-up brat. He wants to pick a fight with Spencer Dutton, and he blames him for stealing Alexandra away from him. To start off, Alexandra does not love this stuck-up brat; she fell in love with Spencer Dutton who both have chemistry for each other. One does not want to be in a relationship with anyone they ultimately do not love. There are too many marriages that have that happen. People will marry for wealth or to gain position in that way.There is a scene in the series where Banner Creighton gets arrested in his bathrobe. He has two prostitutes there. When he gets arrested, they were having sex with each other when he was off on his way to jail. Later, Donald Whitfield will encounter them. He told them that this is his house, he just lets Banner Creighton live there. Donald Whitfield will tell them; he wants them to beat each other’s butts with his belt. He is looking for them to have pleasure in inflicting pain on each other. This shows how sick Donald Creighton is.To go back to the Indigenous girl which is called an Indian in this series whose name is Teonna Rainwater. She will kill the two nuns that raped her and abused her. She tells Sister Mary that you like the ruler so much, you might as will have it burned on your skin. She also tells the other nun; this is your punishment for raping me. After that she leaves the school, to get away from that prison. It was a literal hell on wheels, and no one can blame her for killing those two nuns. She will later encounter an older man who is of Indigenous nature. He tells her, you can help me by tending sheep. She tells him, I could go to Canada. He points out to her that you could, but Canda’s schools are worse than here. That is true, they were worse in Canda than in the United States. She pretends to be his son, so she has a better chance of hiding from these people.The woman who got arrested for marrying a white man, is of Chinese descent. A spy named Clive found this out and reported it to the police. The police came in there and arrested her and they called it Miscegenation and it is defined as a sexual relationship of different ethnic groups especially when one of them is white. This is what happens in this case. A book that is called White Evangelical Racism points this out. I will read what it has to say.White Evangelical Racism by Anetha Butler on AmazonRead from book and you want to watch the video or get the book on Amazon to know what I am reading here which I will a link in the reference section below. You want to read pages 63-64 of that book. Thank you.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this season and set up another season in the 1923 series of Yellowstone lore.I will give you, my rating. I give 1923 Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but talked about issues that need to be talked about. It shows how bad the Indian schools were and how people who call themselves Christians used the disguise of religion to justify their hatred and enslavement of people of different races and ethnic groups. Timothy Dalton does an excellent job of playing Donald Whitfield. You hate this man, and you would like to see him killed. He is a vile individual, and it is very relevant that is happening right now. Banner Creighton is awful, and you hope that he will get what he deserves. Both Harrison Ford and Helen Miren do an excellent job of playing Jacob Dutton and Cara Dutton. The good thing is that the character that Harrison Ford was playing with Jacob Dutton is 78 and this pretty much matches Harrison Ford actual age. He is 81, but chances were, when it was filmed, he was in his late 70’s or early 80’s. This is good.Check out links to sites and videos that I recommendPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the book called The Runing Girls by Matt Brolly, which is on Amazon. You can access this book on Kindle, audiobook, paperback, and CD. The book is published by Thomas & Mercer. The story will start off with Frank Randall being convicted of murder of his wife and once he returns, he is expected of murder when Grace Harrington is murdered and is killed in the same way his wife Annie Randall is murdered. The community of Galveston, Texas has not forgiven him for this murder. They will not let him forget this murder. This story will have a Fugitive feel to it as if anyone has seen the Fugitive, Dr. Richard Kimble gets convicted of murdering his wife. It is what people think, but not everything is as it seems. This is not the case in that movie and is not the case in this book. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it.

Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating of The Running Girls BookAs was mentioned before in this review, Frank Randall was convicted of murdering his wife, Annie Randall. Frank returns from prison to Galveston, Texas. He had to go through Houston, Texas to get to Galveston, Texas. Frank does not have the key to his old house, and he tries to get in, but it is locked after all these years. He looks for the key, but Warren Campbell, the retired police chief of the Galveston police department is there, and Waren has his former deputies who are retired as well beat up on Frank Randall. If Laurie Campbell had not shown up, Frank Randall would have been beaten to death. Laurie Campbell is married to Frank Randall’s son David. She is Frank Randall’s daughter-in-law and Warren Campbell’s granddaughter-in-law. If you are asking, Annie Randall was Warren Campbell’s daughter. This makes Warren Campbell, Frank Randall’s father-in-law. One can understand why Warren Campbell would be harboring bad feelings toward Frank Randall, since he blames him for Annie Randall, his daughter being killed and believes Frank Randall had something to do with it. As was mentioned before, Frank Randall will appear to be the killer, and not everything is what it seems in this story. This is like what happens in The Fugitive, that starred Harrison Ford back in 1993. I mentioned that movie in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and in the Season 1 Review of Gotham Knights, it is hard to believe that movie is now 30 years old. Dr. Richard Kimble like Frank Randall was convicted of killing his wife, but he is not responsible for that death. He was trying to resituate his wife back to life after she was killed by the one arm man in that story. His search for the one arm man is what drives Dr. Richard Kimble.David Campbell took his grandfather’s Warren Campbell last name, because he was furious with his father Frank Randall for taking his mother Annie Randall away from him. This is understandable because if your own father was responsible for killing your own mother, you would want to be free if anything that reminds you of him, this includes his last name. If someone had this happened like it did for David Campbell, someone would do the same thing as David Campbell did. David is married to Laurie Campbell, and yes Laurie Campbell is a detective for the Galveston police department.Laurie Campbell will be assigned to the Grace Harrington murder when Grace Harrington was murdered after she was left in a running position very similar to Annie Randall. This causes the community and the police department to believe that Frank Randall is responsible for her death. Warren Campbell is furious with Laurie Campbell for not letting him and his former deputies in not killing Frank Randall. Warren Campbell believes if they did that, then Grace Harrington would not be dead. This should not be the case; one does not get to invoke vigilante justice. This does not give a person the right to be judge, jury, and executioner. Every individual deserves the right to reasonable doubt before jumping to conclusions. The reason there are investigations is so that the police can find the evidence they are looking for. This is why police departments have detectives to help them in cases where they need to be solved.Laurie Campbell will meet Tilly, Grace’s girlfriend. She will meet Sandra and Glen Harrington, Grace’s mother and father. This will cause Tilly to be mad to find out that her girlfriend Grace Harrington is dead. Tilly will blame herself and tell Laurie if she and Grace were not arguing, Grace would still be alive. Laurie Campbell tells Tilly; you cannot think like that. It is not your fault. One cannot know what will happen, and it does not do one any good to live in what-if scenarios. This is true, I am guilty of that myself. I wonder if I had done this differently, this would not have happened. It is hard to tell yourself to think differently because we all believe we can do it differently. Tilly will tell Laurie Campbell of Mia Washington, who was Grace Harrington’s girlfriend before. Tilly was afraid Grace Harrington would have gone back to Mia Washington and that is why Grace Harrington went for a run, and this gives the killer the opportunity to kill her.Sandra and Glen Harrington have a strained relationship to say the least. They are both wealthy, but wealth does not make them happy. Glen likes young girls as the story will show here. He is suspected of having relationships with girls around Grace Harrington’s age. The police will find out that he has been having these relationships for a long time. Glen Harrington likes them young. He is 49, and the girls average around 18, 19, or 20 years old. It is not illegal, but it makes it scary. It is not unheard of as there is a congressman that had a relationship with a girl that is 17 years old. That makes it statuary rape, where that is illegal. Glen is at the edge of that, but he has not broken any laws there. It does make it suspicious since his daughter is dead. The story will reveal that Glen Harrington had a relationship with his daughter Grace’s old girlfriend of Mia Washington. Grace ends up finding this out.Another person to be concerned about in this story is Maurice Randall, Frank Randall’s older brother in this story. Maurice Randall asks his brother Frank Randall to live with him at his church. Frank is hesitant to do this, but he decides to do it as he is tired of being alone. He was alone in prison for 16 years and figures he could use the company. Maurice Randall used to beat his brother Frank Randall after their father beat Maurice. Frank was the retaliation of Maurice since this happened when they were kids. Maurice feels guilty for that. He becomes a pastor. Frank tells Maurice that he did not become that way even though their father was an abuser. Maurice tells Frank that he is sorry and wishes that he did not do this. Maurice thinks Frank killed his wife, but Frank tells him he did not do it. This is true, he did not kill Annie Randall, his wife, and he is not responsible for killing Grace Harrington that had been found recently murdered.Neil Mosley is the attorney for Maurice Randall and represents Frank as well after Frank gets suspected of killing Grace Harrington. He points out, if you do not have any evidence to keep Frank here in jail, you must let him go. Neil Mosley is the wildcard of this book. The reader will believe there is nothing wrong with him, but there is more to meet the eye with Neil Mosley. Neil Mosley has a secret past, and the reader will discover the past once the story progresses.Laurie Campbell is struggling with losing her daughter Milly. She was pregnant with her husband David Campbell’s child. Milly ended up being a stillbirth. This can cause married couples such as David and Laurie Campbell to get divorced, but they endure this. Laurie believes that David is having an affair with another woman, but she finds out that he is not. This woman is part of a grief circle that helps people deal with grief such as losing her child. That is not their only problem as David is still mad at his father Frank Randall for killing his mother Annie Randall, and like most people in Galveston, Texas, he believes his father killed Grace Harrington. Laurie Campbell wants to see the good in Frank Randall, and she cannot believe as old and feeble Frank Randall looks, there is no way he could have killed Grace Harrington. This also makes David upset with his wife Laurie Campbell. David believes his dad Frank Randall is manipulating his wife Laurie Campbell into believing he is not capable of this. The reader will find this is not the case as the book progresses.There is a hurricane that will happen in this story. Yes, if you are asking, hurricanes are common in Galveston, Texas. Hurricanes such as Ike and Rita caused a lot of damage in Galveston, Texas. It happens a lot to say the least. Laurie Campbell will have to not only have to solve the case, but she must deal with a hurricane which could slow her down, and she is afraid the killer will get away, if she does not figure out what the killer’s endgame is. She wants to know, what is the motive for killing all these people in the 16-year period the murders happen in this story.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax of the story. It is not clear if there will be another story, but it does not mean the author could not write another one.I will give you, my rating. I give The Running Girls a 10 out 10. It was fun, but it keeps the reader guessing. The book does a great job of having the reader create theories in who is responsible for the death of these victims. The killer is motivated by something. These murders are not random but premeditated. The killer looks for making a particular person pay. As was told in the movie, The Fugitive, Dr. Richard Kimble is accused of killing his wife, and he must figure out who did this. The motive is there to frame him because the killer worked for the doctor that wanted to get the drug approved that had issues in the clinical trials that were being done in the hospital that Dr. Richard Kimble worked at. This shows the point I was making is that nothing is not what it appears to be. The cases in both stories need to be looked at very carefully, and a good detective looks at all angles. They do not jump to conclusions. Both stories prove that evidence lies and cannot always be trusted, and I also point this out in Gotham Knights Season 1 that I reviewed recently on this channel. It is good that this story comes with an audio version because if a person travels that is a plus.Please go to my store, my website as well as my Patreon PagePlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the CW’s Gotham Knights Season 1 that is currently on Max formerly known as HBO Max. I am sure there are those that still want to call Max HBO Max, I get it, I sometimes will do that, but remember it is now called Max. The series will begin with Bruce Wayne being murdered and being shown that he was Bat Man. His adopted son Turner Hayes finds out after Bruce Wayne was murdered that he was Bat Man. Bat Man did not tell Turner Hayes his adopted son because he wanted to give him as normal a life as he can. Turner Hayes along with three criminals are framed for the murder of Bat Man. This series will have a Fugitive feel as well as talk about how easy it is for the rich to infiltrate every faction of society that they can. The main villain will be the Court of Owls who are the rich and powerful who want to keep things as they are as they know that those that stay poor, it is easier to control them, and crime is big business. The series will talk about substance abuse and those who are supposed to love their family members will enable those family members to stay addicted to what they are as those individuals will claim they are helping their family members feel better. That is a lie, but it is a lie that is told more often than those of us would like to see. It will also show how the rich use those like the Mob to help keep the poor in line so they can remain poor. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it.

Now on with the review.Rest of review and rating of DC Gotham KnightsAs was mentioned before, Bruce Wayne is murdered by the Court of Owls and was wearing his Bat Man mask at the time of his murder. Turner Hayes along with Duela, Harper Row and her brother Cullen Row get framed for the murder of Bruce Wayne who everyone in Gotham City finds out he was Bat Man. Bruce Wayne had his adopted son Turner Hayes learn Martial Arts, Fencing, and to be able to use line of sight so he can figure out where things are when he needs to. Turner Hayes is great at using a sword, but he is not a bad fighter. Duela because of her connection to the Joker, was going to sell the watch of the Court of Owls to someone but finds out it is a double-cross. Turner Hayes along with Harper Row, and her brother must rescue her. This is when they were stealing Bruce Wayne’s journal out of Wayne Tower, and Bruce Wayne was getting close to finding out who the Court of Owls were, and this is why he was murdered as well as what he was planning to do with his will. They also get help from Carrie Kelly who is 15 years old in this story and is a female Robin who happens to be of African American descent. Carrie Kelly rescued them when crooked police officers (cops) were going to kill Turner Hayes, Duela, Harper Row, and her brother Cullen Row and kept them from being killed. The Court of Owls were looking for Patsies as Eddie Valiant would have said in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? This is exactly what they are as they are scapegoats. They are meant to make their time for them. The evidence is pointing to them. A book I read recently called Running Girls can dispute that. In that story, Frank Randall was framed for killing his wife, Annie Randall. That sounds remarkably like The Fugitive, the movie that came out in 1993 that starred Harrison Ford. Frank Randall’s DNA showed up on his wife, and after a new person is killed in that book, he is assumed to be the new suspect. What ends up happening is that another family member who shares his DNA is killing these people. This is exactly what is happening here. Evidence can lie.Harvey Dent, who is the DA, is searching for the truth in this story. He wants to find the truth, and he is Bruce Wayne’s best friend. He just does not want to follow the evidence, he knows it is lying, and everything is not what it appears to be. Harvey Dent is struggling with who he is. The series will show him losing time and not remembering what happened. It is as he struggles with memory loss that is hard to explain. What will happen is that he struggles with a personality disorder. He is suffering from the same as Marc Specter who is Moon Knight which is a series which I reviewed before. Marc Specter suffers from dissociative identity disorder and this series calls it identity dysmorphia. It is an actual disorder that means that Marc Specter has multiple personalities. This is what is happening to Harvey Dent in this series. Marc Specter has up to three different personalities that are shown in the Moon Knight comics, and he is also Stephen Grant and Jake Lockley. Stephen is the more reasonable of personalities, but Jake Lockley is the more psychotic one. The personality does not have a name. That side of Harvey Dent is more violent, and it came out when he was a child. The series will show Harvey Dent becoming this other person once a particular note is played on a piano. This is what triggered Marc Specter becoming Stephen Grant because of his mother abusing him after she blamed him for leading his brother in a cave and his brother drowned and Marc Specter was lucky to survive, and this also caused the other personality of Jake Lockley to come out as well. Harvey Dent was getting abused by his father and this caused his other personality to come out. Harvey Dent tells the psychologist that he saw that his father would be kind, then all the sudden he would become someone else. She told him, if you had this problem, it would have happened when you were a child. It did and like Marc Specter the other personality was not aware of the others until Harvey Dent saw the video of that personality telling him that it is possible. That personality told him to take 17 pills, so that he could learn the truth about himself. That personality told him he did things that he thought he could never do. This includes murder.The series will show people getting exhorted for the profits they made just so they would not have their businesses trashed or destroyed. There is an episode in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show that was called Chapter V of the Sins of the Fathers which was considered season 3 of the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. In that episode, criminals were trashing a store and threatened the store owner if she did not pay, that they would bring her store to the ground. This was a good example of what exhortation is. This is what these criminals do to get the owner of the Bar to pay. This is not the State Bar, this is a Bar that serves alcohol, or some could serve food. They are short and these criminals decide to torch the place. This means they will burn the place down for failing to not have enough money to pay their bills. The Gotham Knights learn about exhortation, and this leads them to the mob that was helping the Court of Owls funnel the cash they need. They will find a book that has a cipher, and you need to know what book they used. Stephanie Brown, who is Turner Hayes’ best friend has been helping Turner Hayes along with Duela, Harper Row, and Cullen Row to clear their names. Stephanie Brown will go to her father that runs the Quiz Bowl. He tells her, you will figure it out my little Sherlock. This told her that she needed to look for a classic book. The cipher is from that book. It will allow them to find out where the money is going to. The book will not be what one thinks it will be. It will be completely different than one thinks it will be.Stephanie Brown is the daughter of Arthur Brown and Crystal Brown. Stephanie’s mother Crystal is the one that has substance abuse problems. She cannot stop drinking, and she wants to take as many pills as she can as she claims that she is in too much pain. This is remarkably like Dope Sick that reviewed, that series showed how bad addiction is and how one can become a different person once one becomes addicted to a particular substance. Her father Arthur Brown claims that we need to help Crystal to get over her pain by giving her pills. That is a lie. All he is doing is helping to feed her addiction, and she needs to quit cold turkey. Stephanie flushed the pills down the toilet, and no one thought they had been in health class, this is what must happen to get that individual out of this addiction he or she suffers from. Arthur Brown is an enabler and will keep doing this even if it is illegal to do so. This is not right, and Stephanie Brown is the only one here in the Brown family willing to do what is right here, and to help her friend Turner Hayes.The series will show that the rich and powerful like the Court of Owls do not care who they hurt if they can keep their wealth and power. The individual who oversees the court is not one who thinks it is. It is believed to be one person, but it is not. It will surprise the viewer who is running the Court of Owls. This person wants to do this and does not care who he or she hurts. Who is the leader of the Court of Owls? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. The Court of Owls is after a rock that can allow a person to live forever. The rock will have radioactive properties, and it will show how bad radiation poisoning can be as one of the Gotham Knights will have to help so that the individual does not die.As not to revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this season and set up another season in the Gotham Knights series.I will give you, my rating. I give Gotham Knights Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was overly complex, and it talked about a lot of serious issues that needed to be discussed. It dealt with exhortation, corruption, addiction, and multiple personalities. It had a lot of meat to this series, and it helps the viewer to understand these characters better and these issues. There are rich people in the United States looking for absolute control over everything. They believe that the poor do not deserve to have any opportunity to get out of poverty. There are those like Bruce Wayne that want to help people and that is why he became Bat Man in the first place. The Gotham Knights are fighting the battle he started and hope they can live up to the legacy that he left behind. If there are those willing to fight the corrupt, they may be dead physically, but their spirit will remain. This is the best way that people can do to honor as that came before them. The important thing is for those who care about what is happening in the United States is stand up and fight. It does not man, you must pick up a weapon and fight, it may mean protesting, organizing events, or voting. Exercising everything you can within a democracy is always the best thing anyone can do. There are people that would like the United States not to be a democracy and one must be aware even when there feels there is no hope, or you cannot beat them, that is what evil wants you to do. One must resist evil and fight it. This is how one beats evil by doing just that. It is too bad this series was cancelled because the series hit on issues that need to be talked about like how rich people use their money to get what they want, substance abuse, and how even dispute that there are those out there that want to do the right thing.Please go to the store and website and PatreonPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Loki Season 1 that is currently on Disney+ done by Marvel Studios. I will go over several topics in this episode. This 1st season of Loki started where Tony Stark’s Iron Man and Scott Lang’s Ant-Man were trying to get the Tesseract so they could reverse the blip that was caused by Thanos’ snap. In the scramble once the Tesseract was thrown down on the ground, thanks to the Hulk tearing through the wall after he was told to go down the stairs. It allows Loki to escape, and he ends up in Gobi Desert in Mongolia. This will allow the TVA, which stands for Time Variance Authority to come and arrest him for messing up with the sacred timeline according to the TVA. I am sorry that I have not had a new review in a while as I have some issues to resolve. You can always go to my Patreon page of Mattacritic to watch and read reviews until you can see them on YouTube or the blog of my website. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it.

Now on with the review.Please watch the trailer of Loki Season 1 by watching the video below:Rest of Review and Rating of Loki Season 1Before I go on with the review, I have been getting questions of why I have decided to do only season reviews instead of episode reviews of each season. When I first started this YouTube channel, I did that, but I found out when I was trying to get people to the blog, I was not going to get the traffic I wanted there unless I can make my blogs be 2,000 words because that helps with SEO. The blog must trick Google so that it will produce the traffic one wants for his or her blog. That is the trick one must play with, if that individual wants to see his or her blog to be successful. When I do episode per episode reviews, I can never get them to be that long without giving too much away. I know that I will not do that in season reviews because I can pull from each of the episodes that I think are important and only cover those topics.As was mentioned before, Loki Season 1 starts off in the 1st episode with that scene they pulled from the 1st Avengers film and used it in Avengers: End Game. Loki escaped thanks to the scramble for the Tesseract when Tony Stark’s Iron Man and Scott Lang’s Ant-Man attempt to steal the Tesseract to take back to use to reverse the blip from Thanos’ snap. Loki gets arrested from the TVA which means Time Variance Authority. According to what the viewer learns this is meant to protect the sacred timeline.According to Ms. Minutes, who is played by Tara Strong and yes, if you are asking, she does have a Southern accent. Ms. Minutes is a cartoon clock, and she is real according to what the viewer sees. She responds to Loki when he says this is absurd and that he should not be here. She tells the guilty that they are here because you strayed off your given path, and you must be punished for your crime. This is very similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit when you had toons and live action mixed in 1 film that I reviewed for this channel. Another good example is Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers movie that I reviewed for this channel that has a mix of animation with live action. It was a good film, and I would recommend it.Loki is about to get pruned until Mobius who is played by Owen Wilson asks his boss in the court room of TVA (Time Variance Authority). Yes, the court room has pews that you would be in a real courtroom. Mobius tells his boss that Loki can come in handy to help him find this variant they are looking for. Mobius tells Loki that he needs his help and that he wants to find this variant before this variant destroys the sacred timeline. Loki claims that he does not like to talk. As Mobius tells Loki that is not true, you like to talk. You like to hear yourself talk. That makes sense as Loki is a narcissist, and most narcissists like to talk. He tells Loki the variant they are looking for is another Loki. Loki is shocked as this would make sense that he would be.In the 2nd episode of this season, Loki is being trained by the TVA (Time Variance Authority) to become a TVA agent. He is being forced to work for the Time Variance Authority. According to what is mentioned as Ms. Minutes tells Loki, you want to avoid a Nexus event. A Nexus event would involve the multiverse being twisted and you would end up with a hot mess. This is mentioned in the last Flash film that came out in June 2023. Both Bruce Wayne in 2 different universes tell Barry Allen that you can create a mess, and if you play God with the timeline of what you can destroy if you are not careful. This is shown in Spider-Man: No Way Home when Peter Parker wanted to reverse what happened when Mysterio revealed his identity to the world. Peter Paker has Doctor Strange do a spell to help everyone forget that he was Spider-Man, but instead that brings everyone that does. This creates a hot mess that was mentioned in this review.Loki is trying to figure out what he must do to find this variant of himself. As was mentioned, this variant is another Loki. As Mobius is hoping to figure out from this Loki, what makes a Loki tick? Loki figures out from the destruction of Asgard that the variant is hiding in apocalyptic events. He knew that is how he would do it. He proves his point to Mobius, they go to Pompei, Italy in 79 A.D. when Mt. Vesuvius erupted and the whole city would have been destroyed. As Mobius finds out, it did not cause a Nexus event as Loki was pointing out. The variant could do whatever he or she wants without setting off a smoke screen.This will lead Loki and Mobius to go to Alabama in 2050 when a bad hurricane happens in this Alabama town that will destroy this town. They take the TVA agents to this point, and they will find out who the villain is. One will believe this Loki to be male, but it is not. This Loki is a woman instead. That was the surprise instead and this makes for a good twist. Comic Books are known for doing this, in the Runaways comic book series, there is a mole amongst them, but the reader does not know who the mole is until the reader gets to the third volume of that series.The 3rd episode of the 1st season will have both Loki and Sylvie going to the TVA (Time Variance Authority) and they will be met by TVA agents, and they both end up going to this planet called Lamentis that ends up being destroyed. Loki and Sylvie ended up on this planet in 2079 that is going to be destroyed. They go on the train in hopes to get off the planet. The attendant finds out that they do not have tickets and get thrown off the train. This will cause things to go sideways to say the least. Both Loki and Sylvie end up stuck on the planet.The 4th episode of the 1st season will have both Loki and Sylvie stuck on the planet, and Sylvie believes she will be destroyed on this planet. The TVA (Time Variance Authority) finds them, and they get pulled out by the TVA and get rescued because it was causing a Nexus event. They both like each other. Mobius finds out while talking to Loki that Loki was falling for himself. Loki gets thrown in this prison that recreates this event with Lady Siff slapping him and telling him that he only cares about himself. Loki tells Lady Siff that he is afraid of being left alone. Lady Siff tells him, you are alone. Mobius gets the video and finds out from C-20 that she found out that she was a variant. Sylvie would have said in the last episode that they are all variants. She tells B-15 that she is a variant. B-15 takes Sylvie back to Alabama in 2050 and tells B-15 that you are not who you think you are. You had a life, and she tells B-15 that she cannot create memories, she can only bring memories that are already there. B-15 finds out that she had a life before the TVA. She was not created by the timekeepers as she thought. Mobius and B-15 both realize that it was a lie and what they thought they knew; they do not anymore. This will cause Mobius to be pruned once he finds out the truth. Loki and Sylvie meet the timekeepers and find out that they are robots, not real beings. Who is the actual creator of the TVA (Time Variance Authority)? That is the big question.The 5th episode of the 1st season will have Loki in this world that is different than one would expect. One would expect Loki to be dead, but he is not. He is having to fight off this creature which is called Lalith which is a play on Goliath since it is big smoke and Goliath was a big human being that was 9 feet tall that eats souls instead of killing people gruesomely on the battlefield. As the other versions of Loki tell him, they must stick together. There is an alligator that is a Loki. This proves Loki does not have to be a human. Sylvie comes there and tells Loki that she plans to enchant the creature that protects the barrier that is set for them to cross. They must defeat this creature to get to the one who is responsible for creating the TVA (Time Variance Authority). There will be a Loki that says Loki running for President. It makes sense, Loki would do that as he always wanted to rule. Loki and Sylvie must defeat the creature and Mobius will help them as well.The 6th episode of the 1st season will involve Loki and Sylvie trying to defeat the person responsible for creating the TVA (Time Variance Authority). They both are looking for the individual. They must go through a fortress, and they must figure out where this person is. The person is a notable character in the comics. The clue from the episode is he who remains and the conqueror. If you know who it is, please leave your answer in the comment section below.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this season and set up more stories to be told in the MCU.I will give you, my rating. I give Loki Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but does a good job of explaining what would happen if a person created a Nexus event. A Nexus event is one where it causes timelines to merge with each other and this causes a multitude of problems. It can cause the multiverse to collapse on itself. There are different universes, and they are parallel universes. A good example is the series called Parallels which I reviewed for this channel and is a Disney+ original series. Spider-Man: No Way Home explains this as well and Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness explains what would happen if the multiverse collapsed on itself. These two movies, I have also reviewed for this channel. As the person who oversees the TVA tells Loki and Sylvie, if the TVA (Time Variance Authority) does not exist, you could have beings such as myself coming here to destroy it. It is important for the survival of it. The series called them variants and at the time this came out, the world was seeing COVID-19 going rampant still and the called the different strains of the virus variants, and it makes sense that this would relate when the first season this series was released. The fighting is well done, and one can see the martial arts elements that were used in the first season of this series. This was explained here, and it should be explained in the next season of Loki which I am excited to see.Please go to my website and store and PatreonPlease consider going to my store by clicking this link and get your own set of merchandise today.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the Disney Channel Original Movie called Spin that is currently on Disney+. I have reviewed Disney Channel Original Movies before, and I have told you in those reviews that these are quality movies. It is a matter of just realizing, yes, they are made for kids in mind, but adults can find something in them if they look hard at these movies. I reviewed movies such as Ally Cats Strike, Shook, Dad Napped, Avalon High, Invisible Sister, and the Swap. As I told you in those reviews, these movies are well done, and they have a message for people to learn. Life is not easy is what I usually get in these movies, and we are all stronger than we think we are. Spin is about an Indian American girl who likes to make mix of playlists to help her family restaurant of Spirit of India to be able to get through the Sunday Dinner Rush. She will find out as the movie progresses, that she has a desire to be a DJ. This is what the movie will show as she learns it is okay to have several interests and not just one. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make; it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help by signing up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent.

For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Please click the YouTube video below to watch the trailer for Spin:Rest of review and rating of SpinAs was mentioned before, Reah is the name of the girl who is an Indian American girl. This means her family is of Indian descent from India. She will meet Max at the restaurant. Max tells her that he is a DJ, and he is impressed that she made the mix that is playing in the Spirit of India which is Reah’s father’s restaurant. Her father is the owner of the restaurant. Her grandmother is her maternal grandmother. Reah’s mother Mira died when she was 8, and it is just her, her father, grandmother, and her brother. Her brother is younger, if I had to guess, I would say he is 8 years old from looking at the kid. He is a good kid, and Reah is a good girl, and is very responsible for her age. She is 15 years old in this movie, and she wants to do everything to help her father as she cares about him. Her grandmother dances in front of Max and his mother with a full house at the restaurant of Spirit of India. Max tells Reah that this is legit awesome. I would have to agree with Max, it is, and why wouldn’t one like it? Life has enough stress. It is good to dance and to have fun. It is important to work hard, but it is important to break out and have fun.As Asha will tell Reah’s father how I cannot dance, your daughter always picks glorious music. She tells Reah’s father, you might as well tell me to stop breathing if I cannot dance. I can understand that it will be like telling me to stop writing or creating videos like I have been doing. I know that it helps me. Reah’s father struggles with the loss of Mira. Asha tells him, Mira would not want you to just hide from the world with work and your children.Reah will flash back till she was 6 years old, and her mother will help her sleep as she is hearing too many noises. Her mother tells her to focus on that and use it to help you, and it works. Her mother tells her that there is music all around us. We must just find it. It is all music according to Reah’s mother.The following morning, Reah will see Max, and Molly and Waston will notice her smiling. Molly and Watson tell her, we have never seen you smile like that before. Watson tells her, come on, give us details. She tells them that she saw Max in her family restaurant of Spirit of India. Reah will tell them, can we talk about anything else besides this? Watson shows them the designs he has been making for the STEM club. As Molly and Reah tell Watson, these are amazing. Watson tells them, I know. Watson is confident and he is good at designing, and he enjoys doing it.After that Reah bumps into Ginger with Molly and Watson, who is Reah’s best friend besides Molly and Watson. She tells them when she sees them, you are my favorites after she was taking selfies with people that follow her as they told Ginger they are big fans. Ginger is talented in that, but what makes her great is that she does not let that get to her head. She is popular but treats people with respect. She is hard working on what she does, and she tells Reah that she is cool after Molly and Watson told her that she has a crush on Max. Reah told Ginger that his name is Max, and she was able to find his social media page without his last name. Reah is impressed that Ginger was able to find Max’s page without his last name. Ginger tells Reah with Watson, and Molly that Max is from London, England. Molly and Watson are teasing Reah, telling her that she could be Princess Reah. As Reah tells them, Max is way too cool for me since he is a DJ. As Ginger tells Reah, do not sell yourself short; you make cool playlists all the time. Speaking of music, the music in this movie is awesome.Ginger shows Reah, Molly, and Watson the design of the website on her phone. Watson tells her that this looks like a silent cry for help. Ginger says, “Yes, I need your help, Watson.” Watson consults Molly, and Molly tells Ginger, 2 pizzas. Ginger tells them, yes, I agree with your terms. Ginger tells them, “I will see you later.” The website is to help promote the festival of color which is a Hindu holiday called Holi, and people dress in white, and the spray themselves with a bunch of distinct colors that end up looking like a rainbow. That to me is cool to say the least.Reah, Molly, and Watson are in the STEM class, and Ms. Lahey wants to see what they have been working on for the class projects. Molly wants Ms. Lahey to sign a confidentiality agreement. She does, and they continue. As Watson says, Eddison had the light bulb; Steve Jobs had the phone; we have the pizza drone. They try to deliver the pizza with the drone, and the drone shorts out and drops the pizza to the ground. The pizza box opens with the pizza coming out of it. Ms. Lahey tells them they are cleaning that up, and their project needs more work. Ms. Lahey asks Reah what her project is like. Reah tells Ms. Lahey that she has been developing a point-of-sale application for her father’s restaurant. As Ms. Lahey tells her, this project is supposed to be fun. Reah tells her that she is enjoying it after Molly made fun of her saying that all of us kids are into it these days. Reah points out that this app will help my dad out a lot.Reah will show her dad the point-of-sale application that she has created for the restaurant of Spirit of India. Reah told him that this application will help you know what ingredients you need to get when you are running low on them. This makes sense; restaurants need to know what supplies they need to make sure they are getting food ready to cook and prepare to get out to their customers.Ginger will be depressed when she sees Molly, Watson, and Reah. She told them that their DJ just got suspended for cheating on their history exam. She wants to hide under the table. Molly and Watson let her know that they can beep boxes. Ginger wants to forget this, but Reah tells them about Max. Ginger asks Reah, “Do you think he is good at spinning, or do you think he is cute”? Reah will tell Ginger, “He seems to know what he is talking about.” In my mind, this makes sense. What does Ginger have to lose at this point? The dance squad finds Max, and Ginger encourages Reah to come with her as she figures that she would like to tell Max herself that she helped him to get a sweet gig.Reah with Ginger meets Max, and Max points out to them, that he wished that he had his equipment. Ginger points out to Max; it is like rock stars that go unplugged. The dance squad will promote the event, and it looks awesome with all the distinct colors that they use. It looks like it is fun when it is shown in this movie.The movie will progress with Reah asking Max to help teach her to DJ. They will go to Victory Vinyl Records where Max shows her the ropes. They get two records, and Max tells them that they need to figure out how to put the 2 records together. It is a matter of using the mixer. Reah figures out there is a difference between the beats per minute. Reah can do that in her head. Max is impressed that she has a calculator in her brain. DJ Luka Cent is Record shopping and hears them performing and is impressed with their picks in music. He lets them know that he is. They come up front to pay, and he tells the cashier to hand them some fliers. The fliers say battle of the beat masters. He tells them it is a local competition for teen DJs that he does every year. He encourages them to come and sign up. Reah asks him what he is looking for. He tells them, tell a story and makes us care.The movie will progress with Reah having to juggle work, school, and her learning how to be a DJ. She believes that she cannot be an artist, but she is wrong. She needs to find her music as her grandmother will tell her. She wants to hide in the restaurant after she gets her heart broken, but her grandmother tells her that she cannot do that. When something bad happens, you cannot just hide from it; you need to face it. Life is hard, but it is good, a person just must find it. Reah’s growth will come from exploring other passions like this, and it will help her to grow, and she will find out. It is good to have those things like this as she finds out that she is good at being a DJ.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the story and shows it is okay to have other passions and to explore them. It helps a person to grow when a person does this.I will give you, my rating. I give the Disney Channel Original Movie called Spin, a 10 out of 10. It is fun, but it is good to see a person who is a minority female to have a role like this. She is a decoder as she tells Max in this movie. That is why she is good with numbers. She likes music, and as her grandmother tells her, you are your father’s daughter, and your mother’s daughter. You are not one or the other, the best of both living in you. Your mother lives in you; you just must let it out. Her mother lives with her. Reah has her mother’s ear, and she loves music like her mother did when her mother was alive. Reah will understand that she was born to do this, and this is her destiny as she finds out. I do understand that if you do not pursue your dreams and passions, it will haunt you. This is what I am doing, but you must work hard and keep at it. Nothing will happen if you do not try it. A person must try and hope for the best. Does Reah win the battle of the beat masters? Please leave your answers in the comment section below.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the movie called World’s Best that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. The movie will begin with Prem Patel who is the son of Priya and Suresh Patel having a dream competing at the New Jersey Mathlympics. He is taking the pen in his hand, and he suddenly takes it apart ready to compete. One of the sportscasters is saying that “Prem Patel has been dominating since the first equation. The other one says, “I have never seen anything like this young man. He bleeds numbers.” The first one that said Prem Patel has been dominating since the first equation, says, “He is putting equations on the board that have parenthesis”. He will learn from his mother that his father loved to rap. This movie will deal with him learning that Hip Hop is in his DNA like Math is. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Please click here to view the trailer of World’s Best.Rest of Review and Rating of World’s Best movieAs was mentioned before, Prem Patel has a dream that is at the New Jersey State Mathlympics and that he has been dominating the tournament. He is walking to the table after he puts the equal sign on the board. The sportscaster says, “Hold the phone. A little bit of a changeup here.” Prem is walking to the table where his teacher is, and his best friend Jerome is. Prem Patel is having a high five moment with both his favorite Teacher of Mr. Oh and his best friend of Jerome. Prem Patel picks up Claire’s chocolate milk and jugs it down like it is water as one of the sportscasters would have pointed out. The first one who said he dominated this contest since the first equation, says, “What a showboat.” He walks back and puts the answer down, and the crowd goes wild. But this is where his dream changes, and Brooklyn who is a bully makes fun of Prem Patel and says, Math is for losers. Everyone leaves once he says that, and the room goes dark. Claire walks up to him and opens her mouth and starts ringing like an alarm clock. This is where Prem wakes up from his dream and the clock says 6:00 AM.Prem Patel looks at his posters where they have some of the best Math minds and says, “The World’s Best never rests”. He gets up and goes to the bathroom to take his shower. Before he gets in there, his mother asks him, “Did you have another Math dream?” Prem tells her yes that he did. She asks him, “did you win?” He tells her that he did. She tells him, “Nice”.His mother Priya Patel puts her ear buds in her ears and starts listening to a podcast on her phone and starts making his breakfast. She cooks his eggs and tells him your egg whites are on the table. Prem Patel is telling his mother, “Have you considered my proposal of having a Pop Tart for breakfast?” She tells him, “Have you considered living in reality? You need brain food today.” Priya Patel is struggling with the loss of her husband emotionally and she is hoping by listening to this Podcast that she can move on from the loss of her husband of Suresh Patel.Prem later gets on the bus to go to Delta High School. Before he got on the bus, his mother was testing him on square roots. Prem can answer the square roots of most numbers without needing the calculator. Priya tells this girl who is making fun of her son that the last girl that ate Pop Tarts for breakfast had no teeth. “There is no tooth fairy for that”.Prem is in the high school for the Math class that is a 11th grade class. He passed the entrance exam to get into the 11th grade Math class. Ms. Sage welcomes the students and tells them that the deal she makes with the class. The students who participate in the Mathlympics team and they finish in the top 3 of the New Jersey Mathlympics State Final will get an automatic A. They were destroyed the year before and finished dead last.Ms. Sage gives them a math quiz for them to solve and asks them to finish the equation. Prem Patel is the only one that finishes the quiz. Claire is in the class and was working on it but did not finish it. They both get on the bus to go to Junior High, and Claire sits with Prem Patel, shakes hands with him, and congratulates him on finishing the quiz. They are both at Delta High School for the Math class and take the rest of their classes at the Junior high school.At the Junior High School, Prem Patel is greeting his favorite teacher Mr. Oh. Prem Patel is later at the track and field that has football field with it. This is common as I remembered when I attended middle school that my middle school of Quail Hollow had track and field with a football field. Prem Patel is with his best friend Jerome who he helps to stretch his hamstrings for P.E. Jerome later tells Prem that he needs a break as he is with Amanda. Jerome does not want to be known only for doing well at school. He wants to be known for other things like dancing. Jerome will start hanging out with Brooklyn and Sharn even though there were both mean to Prem and Jerome when they were both in the sixth grade. Jerome wants to be a dance guy as he texted Prem a video that he did on TikTok.It is not bad when a person wants to explore other skills that he or she may have. It gives a person a chance to find out if they have that talent or not. Even if it is not perfect, a person must practice it if he or she wants to be good at it. This is what Jerome is doing. People can have a falling out and this happens to Prem and Jerome. When I was in Elementary School, this happened to me, I had a falling out with one of my friends. We later worked it out.Prem Patel later gets home, and he is feeling down which is understandable. If any person had the day that Prem had, it would be hard to say the least. He is only 12, and for a 12-year-old to have your best friend say that he needs a break from you is hard. He tells his mother that he is the only one who finished the quiz that was to solve the equation when he was in his math class.Prem, while at the table asks his mother about his dad as he points out this is for his homework assignment. The homework assignment was for Prem Patel to figure out the equation of himself and what makes him who he is. He is supposed to include all the elements of his life that make him who he is. Priya, his mother claims that Suresh would want us to be happy and not dissolve like some caterpillar. Prem needs to know this, so he knows who he is.Priya Patel tells her son Prem that I met your father at a hip hop club. The picture that is in their house is right near the table where they both eat. The picture is a picture of Priya and her husband Suresh taken at the Leopard Lounge. Priya tells her son Prem that your father was one of the best rappers that she ever saw. She finishes the story at that after she told Prem that she let his father buy her that drink.This will cause Prem Patel to become curious about his father Suresh Patel. He will pull out the box that his mother Priya put in the closet. He will find tickets to concerts by Doug E. Fresh and other famous hip hop artists. Prem will open a bottle of Suresh Patel’s and it is strong to say the least. This will cause him to explore his father’s Rhyme book. He will get to the sentence that his father came up with and it says, “The World’s Best Never Rest”.Prem Patel will see his father Suresh Patel appear and this will cause Prem to yell because he is shocked to see him. Prem’s mother will come in and ask him what happened. Prem will tell her that the solution snuck up on me. She tells Prem that she loves it when that happens. Prem will wonder what is happening to him. He will think that he is sick and claims his mother’s cooking poisoned him. As his father tells him, that woman cannot cook. Prem says that he is too old for an imaginary friend. His dad tells him that he is too young for a mid-life crisis, but here we are. The problem needs a new variable as his dad points out. Prem tells his dad, I cannot rap. Prem has a dream that he is rapping with his dad, and this will cause him to start exploring who he is.Prem will explore this as he will sign up for the Fall Talent show. He will get help from his new friends Mercedes and Gabe. He will also help them to figure out how to remember Math equations. Mercedes and Gabe ask him what he is into? Prem will tell them he is into rap. They say no way. He gives them a tape that has a lot of first rap artists. The tape has Bismarck Keys, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, and Naughty by Nature. Prem asks them do they listen a lot to the song that Naughty by Nature performed. They both tell Prem that these joints are the foundations to Hip Hop. These guys dreamed big and lived large and turned a turntable and a Mike into the number one music in the world.Prem wants his mother to take him to the Leopard Lounge because he wants to check out Freestyle Tuesdays that his mother talked about with him. She shoots him down. She wants him to focus on Math. Prem later asks his father to help him with the Fall Talent Show. He wants to learn the basics of hip hop. His father tells him the basics are understanding how to put the sentences together. The basics involve putting the rhymes together like multiplication tables. You must hop from one sentence to the next. This is also poetry. Why is that? It is. Poetry uses rhymes and if you understand poetry, you will be able to rap. His father tells him you want to get to Fuel. Prem figures out he must solve for X and Y. Once he understands this, he can put the sentences together for him to rap.Prem will have struggles down the road. He will question who he is in the process. His dad is talented, and Prem will learn from his father that life is messy and there is no right answer. His father Suresh will tell him that life is not an equation and that you do not need me to teach you who you are. That is something that Prem must figure out on his own.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and answer the question that everyone wants to know of “Who is Prem Patel?”I will give you, my rating. I give World’s Best, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but does an excellent job of helping the audience to understand who Prem Patel is. Prem Patel will learn things about who he is and learn that it is okay to have more than one skill. Prem will go through the typical struggle that each person faces. It is tough at any age not to know who you are. It happens like it did for Peter Parker in Spider-Man 2. As the doctor told Peter, there is nothing worse than uncertainty. It can paralyze you and that uncertainty and fear will keep you from living. As Prem’s father Suresh Patel tells him, fear keeps you from living. Hip Hop is like life, you cannot go halfway. You must go all the way. As Suresh tells his son Prem that you must have confidence if you want to be the best. You must be your own hype man. This will cause Prem to realize this. He makes the mistake of picking on Claire after getting his father’s book back from those that stole it from him. As his father tells him, “Phony rappers put others down to build themselves up. Real EMCs like us, we own we are that is what makes us untouchable”. This is an important lesson to learn for life. There is a difference between running your mouth and having something to say. If you just talk and you just want to hear yourself talk, who is going to take you seriously? But if you only talk when you have something to say, people will listen to you. It is important to keep it real. What happened to Prem? Does he reconcile with Jerome? Does he help his friends finish in the top 3 of the Mathlympics? Does Prem figure out who it is? Is Prem a math guy or a rapper or both? Please leave your answers in the comment section below.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing Black River, Rose Riley Book 1 by Matthew Spencer which comes in several formats such as Kindle, Audible, Paperback, Mass Market Paperback, and Audio CD. I will go over several topics in this episode. The book will start with the murder of Marguerite Dunlop who is connected to the school since her father works there. She goes there as well. This is a string of killings that is thought to be connected to the BMK, which is an acronym for Blue Moon Killer. If Blue Moon sounds familiar, Blue Moon is a beer that one sticks with an orange in when one drinks it. Unbelievably Blue Moon is made by Miller. How do I know this? I have known this since I was in Milwaukee, WI and visited the Miller’s Brewery and I was served it when I was at Miller Park for the Milwaukee Brewers. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch and learn.How to support the ChannelI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating of Black RiverAs was mentioned before, this book deals with the BMK killer who has been on a killing spree. Rose Riley who is a Detective Sergeant in this story will be tasked in finding out who killed Marguerite Dunlop and finding out who the killer is. She has help from her boss Chief Inspector Steve O’Neill, Pryia Patel, Annie Tran, and Dr. Farquhar who is a psychologist who works for the police department. She also gets help from Adam Bowman who has a connection to the school since he went there when he was a child. Adam Bowman works as a journalist for the National that is a newspaper that has gone digital. This is what I can tell from reading and listening to the book. This story takes place in Sydney, Australia. The river is the key to these murders.There are several people who make sense as suspects. First, the reader will think it to be Headmaster Preston. This makes sense as Preston is shady, and he gets on the defensive when Rose talks to him as well as her boss Chief Inspector Steve O’Neill. This makes sense when Pryia Patel and Adam Bowman interviewed Preston, and he got freaked out when the drone footage was released over the airways.Preston is involved in a brothel meaning he has been involved in sexual relationships that were outside the confines of marriage. There is a sleazy politician he is involved with, and his names is Hugh Bishop. Hugh Bishop tries to interfere with the investigation as he and Preston are afraid that certain things will come out like their connection to the Mob and this brothel. It will ruin both of their careers as it should. Who wants a headmaster of a school that is involved in a brothel? Who is to say that Preston or Hugh Bishop could not be involved with girls under 18? This would be scary, and this happens in real life all the time. There are stories that you can read in the news or find if you look them up on google or any reliable search engine.The other suspect is Craig Spratt. Craig makes sense as he manages the garden shed and has access to the tools one would expect to find. There are plenty of tools to find for him to kill Marguerite if he is the killer. The BMK killer likes to cover his or her victims with a plastic bag over their head after he or she kills them. Craig Spratt saw Preston leaving which makes him a credible witness as well as a suspect to the BMK killings.The other suspect is Tom Green. Tom Green is the son of Sarah and Scott Green. Tom oversaw taking care of Marguerite Dunlop’s dog Tatters. Tatters will be later found dead in this story, and he was later buried in the ground. Tom will say to Rose Riley and to Chief Inspector Steve O’Neil that he was sorry that her dog Tatters died. Both Rose Riley and Chief Inspector Steve O’Neil asked Tom Green, do dogs dig their own graves? The answer is obvious, no dogs do not bury their own graves. In fact, no one can bury himself or herself if that individual is dead. I am implying that a human cannot bury himself or herself. Tom is an obvious suspect in the fact that when CSI went through the dumpster; they found Tom’s shoe with Marguerite Dunlop’s blood. It will be believed by the police that Tom Green was making this look like the BMK killer, but this will be proven to be wrong. There is a twisted person behind these killings and this person will not be as obvious one might think it will be.The police were going to rule out the river, but Adam Bowman tells Rose Riley that you do not want to do that. The river could be the key to this according to Adam Bowman. Adam Bowman is smart and can smell out when things smell or feel out of place. This is what makes him a good reporter. He is willing to work with the police to make sure his facts are accurate and is willing to help them when he can. Adam Bowman will be proven right that the river is the key. This makes sense as this book is called Black River.The other suspect one might think of is Sarah Green. Sarah Green knew Adam Bowman’s mother had an affair with Headmaster Preston. This means that she is implying to Rose Riley and the police that he could be BMK killer. This is too convenient. When a suspect is too convenient, in story or real life, this is not always the case. It cannot be just convenience that makes someone that actual perpetrator, it is motive, and opportunity. The reason Sarah implies this is that Adam Bowman’s brother died when he saw Preston and Adam Bowman’s mother in the bushes having sex and he fell to his death because of this. Adam is not aware that his mother had an extramarital affair with Preston. This does not give him motive to be the killer of Marguerit Dunlop to kill her and frame Preston with it. As Sarah Green claims, Preston gets away with everything and this would be frustrating to those that know that this guy is a horrible person. This gives Sarah Green motive since she knew Adam Bowman’s mother had an extramarital affair with Preston and feels responsible for not doing something about it. She could have done this, but this does not necessarily make her the killer of Marguerite Dunlop.The other suspect one would look at as well is Scott Green, who is Tom Green’s father and Sarah Green’s husband. He makes sense as Tom Green is afraid of him. When Tom Green was being arrested by the police, Tom Green told the police he did not want to go with his father. The police will appoint another adult to be with him. It is understood that Scott must have been abusive to Tom and Sarah Green was wearing clothes that covered her neck. Usually when a person wears clothes that cover his or her neck; this means that individual is an abusive relationship. They are usually covering their injuries by that individual. Scott has tendencies one would expect to have. When a person is a psychopath, the people who they are supposed to love are afraid of them. Scott Green’s mother was a nun who was raped and probably hated Scott because he reminded her of her rapist. She got on her son Scott to wet the bed. This probably caused him to do more out of the guilt that he would be scolded by her.Psychopaths like to play games as Rose Riley got a note from the killer saying, let’s play. This means he is targeting Rose. Priya Patel was later hurt by the killer, and this will make the reader think that this individual wants to play a game, and the participants in this game must figure out the clues before it is too late.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the story and set up another book in this series.I will give you, my rating. I give Black River, Rose Riley Book 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun and helps the reader to understand the complexities of these killings and the other horrible people in this story that are involved in other horrible things. Not all these horrible people are killers, but they are involved with the mob and a brothel. What happens to these people in the end is justice and you will not feel sorry for them.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the movie called Blue Beetle that is done by Warner Brothers Studios and is a DC comic. It is part of the DCEU. I will go over several topics in this episode. The movie will start off with Victoria Kord looking for the Scarab, which is of alien origin. She has Carapax who is an enforcer and has Dr. Sanchez looking for it as well. They are digging it up amongst what looks like a glacier. It is buried amongst it. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the channel and newsletterI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Rest of review and Rating of Blue BettleSpoiler Warning: This review may contain spoilers; if you do not want to know more, then do not continue. If you do not care, please continue. Thank you.Please click here to watch the trailer for Blue Bettle. Thank you.As was mentioned before, Victoria Kord is looking for the alien scarab which is blue. The scarab works remarkably like the alien symbiote in Spider-Man. I understand that I am using a Marvel reference, but it is true, and I will make my point in this review. The scarab must bond with its host, and it chooses its host. The alien symbiote that created Venom and Carnage did the same thing. It chooses its host, and it usually looks for those that were insane. The alien symbiote usually made its host more insane and it controlled the host it was occupying.Jamie Reyes comes back from school. He flew into the airport, and he met his family at the airport. His sister, whose name is Milagro Reyes, tells her brother Jamie Reyes that their father has lost his job and they will lose their house. This is not the news he wanted to hear. He was at the restaurant; his uncle Rudy Reyes is played by George Lopez. George Lopez works well at this role, and he is the guy who is a conspiracy theorist that believes that everyone has a camera in it as well as listening devices. The Reyes family is proud that Jamie Reyes is the first to graduate from college.Jamie gets home and still cannot believe that his family is going to lose their house. They look at the skyline of the city and ask themselves what will happen. It is a good question. The Kords have been absorbing all parts of the city. This is remarkably like when a developer wants to gentrify parts of the city, saying it will improve the city, but instead all it does is pull hardworking people out of their homes that cannot afford them. It is unfortunate, but this happens more often than people would like to admit.Jamie is sitting on the roof with his sister, and it asks her what we are going to do? She asks him, “are you going to grad school? Jamie tells her and gets this family in more debt. Going to college is not cheap, and if you must get a student loan, it is not easy to say the least. People that get student loans are not paying them off for a few years, but it may take them till retirement before they get those loans paid off. It is a vicious cycle, but this is what happens unfortunately.Jamie and his sister Milagro Reyes got a job working at the Kord Estate. She is sticking gum under the bench and Jamie is peeling it off. Jamie is getting frustrated to say the least. She needs to use the restroom, and he asks her brother to cover her so that she can use the restroom. She decides to use the luxury restroom instead of the service restroom. Jamie points out that this could be bad. While she is in the bathroom, Jamie overhears Jenny Kord who is played by Bruno Marquezine who is an attractive woman to stay the least, and she is arguing with her aunt of Victoria Kord who is played by Susan Sarandon. There may be those that say Susan Sarandon has never played a villain before. You would be wrong in that she has; she played the Evil Queen in the Disney Film called Enchanted that you can now stream on Disney+. The Evil Queen was supposed to be the evil stepmother of Snow White, and they used poisonous apples in hopes to get the Amy Adams character whose name is Giselle sick who ironically has been in the DECU and played Lois Lane. She starred in two movies in that role in Bat Man V. Super Man and Man of Steel. Jenny Kord does not want to invent weapons. This is remarkably like the first movie in the MCU of Iron Man. In that movie, Tony Stark tells Obadiah Stain that he is done inventing weapons and wants to be doing other things. According to Obadiah Stain what they were doing kept the world going into chaos. Tony Stark said, not from where I was sitting; it is not doing that. This is Victoria Kord’s goal is to use the scarab as a weapon and give it to the military like Stark Industries was doing in the first Iron Man. Victoria Kord wants to create the OMAP. This thing would allow a person to have advanced weapons, and she is looking to make a large profit from it.Jamie and his sister Milagro Reyes lost their jobs after he overheard their conversation and that he must find another job. Jamie is frustrated with his sister Milagro as he knows it is hard to find work. Jenny Kord tells them that she will be willing to help. She tells them this after she told them that I am Kord, but I am not a dick. She is telling them; we are not all stuck up like they were thinking. They are good rich people out there, even at times it can be hard to find.This will lead Jamie Reyes to the Kord Industries building in the center of town. He is dressed in a nice suit. This is important if he wants to get a decent job. Any person that has done a job interview knows if you want to land a job; you must do this. A good impression goes a long way. While he is waiting for Jenny Kord to interview him, after the secretary told him to sit down; Jenny Kord is looking for the alien scarab. She finds it and is impressed that her Aunt Victoria Kord found the scarab. She steals it and takes it out of the lab. She puts it in a Big Belly Burger container. Big Belly has a lot of DC content. It would been in the Arrow verse that was done by the CW. You can find references in the Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow. Jenny Kord bumps into Jamie Reyes and gives him the scarab that is in the Big Belly Burger container and tells Jamie Reyes to guard this thing with your life. She tells him not to open the container.Jamie Reyes will get home, and his family will beg him to open the container, even though Jenny Kord told him not to. They beg him and he gives them to them. Jamie tells them, you guys act like children. He opened the container, and they found the alien scarab in there. The alien scarab is blue and that is why this movie is called Blue Beetle as well as the comic. The alien scarab will jump onto Jamie Reyes as it chose him. It will do what the alien symbiote that creates Venom and Carnage in Spider-Man does. It must bond with its host. It does this by jumping on its host and must attach his spine. This is remarkably like Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2. When Doctor Octavius got electrocuted, the arms got fused to his spine and this would kill him, if it were removed.This is what they will find out. Jenny Kord later bumps into him and tells him that he needs his help. This will be after he flew around. He went to space, and he cut a bus in half as the alien scarab will protect its host. It is a symbiotic relationship, and this is why it does this. He hears the voice of the alien scarab, and it is called Khaji-Da, and she is played by Becky G. Becky G was in the movie called AX-L who was a robot dog that was dating the guy who was protecting AX-L from the government. This is remarkably like what is happening here in this movie. Jenny Kord stole the alien scarab from her Aunt Victoria, and she must help Jamie Reyes figure out what happened with alien scarab attaching to him.Jamie Reyes and Jenny Kord must steal a key which is a watch. After they get the key, they must escape from the Kord Industries building. The man who is called Carapax finds them, and he will kill them to get the alien scarab from them. This will cause Jamie Reyes to wear the suit, and this is remarkably like when Peter Parker could have the suit come on him on command. That reference can be found in the first season of 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show that is on Disney+.Every time Jamie Reyes puts the suit on, it burns his clothes. It will burn his shoes as well. This means he is going to have a lot of spare clothes lying around. This means it can get expensive as clothes are not cheap, and it is not like he can buy them that easily.They are lucky to escape, and with the help of Uncle Rudy Reyes, they escape. Rudy Reyes created a device that can jam the security feed that allowed them to get into the Kord Industries building. They later get to Jenny Kord’s father’s house. It has a secret room, and Uncle Rudy Reyes recognizes who this is. Jenny Kord’s father was the original Blue Beetle. He is rich like Bat Man, but according to Uncle Rudy, Bat Man is a fascist.This is where Uncle Rudy will be searching for the answers on Jenny Kord’s father’s computer that will help both Jamie Reyes and Jenny Kord understand what the scarab needs. Uncle Rudy tells them both that it will not come off with Jamie Reyes until he dies. There is no way to get it off since it bonded to him. As Uncle Rudy Reyes tells him, the scarab will protect you as this is in its nature to do so.This will lead Jamie to have to protect his family. Something bad will happen to his father. His family must fight to save Jamie; and Jenny Kord will help them save Jamie. Uncle Rudy will come up big because of his Mechanical Engineering skills. This will also reveal to the audience and the family that Nana has skills; they both did not think that she had.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie.I will give you my rating, I give the movie called Blue Beetle, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but it shows the importance of family. This shows that a family does not have to be rich in having lots of money. This shows that this family knows that it is rich because they have lots of love instead of money. Love is the Reyes’ family currency instead of money. As Jenny Kord points out to Jamie Reyes, she wished that she had what they had. She will give up her wealth to have what the Reyes’ family has. Money does not buy you happiness, only love does that. This is the lesson that this movie teaches that it is great to see. What does one gain from gaining the world, but losing one’s soul? As Robert Queen told Oliver Queen in Season 3 of Arrow, what is a family without a soul? What this means is that Robert Queen was making money unscrupulously and that he should have been better than he was. He told Oliver Queen that you can be better than me, and you can save this city. Susan Sarandon did an excellent job of playing Victoria Kord as this woman is vicious and will do anything to get richer and does not care who she hurts. This proves again that Greed is the worst sin. This movie shows this, and I mention this in my other reviews of the Dopesick series where the Sacklers were willing to do whatever it took to get richer. They knew their drug OxyContin was hurting people, but they did not care. In one of my more recent reviews of the first season of Joe Pickett series; I said in that review that Vern Dunergan, Wacey, and the Scarlets did not care who they hurt if they got what they wanted. What happens in this movie? Does Jamie Reyes get out of the situation he is in? What happened to Jennifer Kord’s father?

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Joe Pickett Season 1 that is currently on Parmount+. I will go over several topics in this episode. I will also make comparisons to the book and let you know if it is faithful to the original text of Joe Pickett. The first season is based on Open Season, which is the first book of the Joe Pickett book series. The original book came out in 2001. The original book had references to Jay Leno who is retired now from doing late night shows. Jay Leno took over for Johnny Carson who did the Tonight Show. The season will begin with Joe Pickett writing a ticket to Ote Keely and Ote taking his weapon. Ote Keely will be found dead in his yard with a cooler. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Newsletter and the ChannelI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help by signing up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $1 a month, $5 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Please click the video below to watch the trailer.Rest of review and rating of Joe Pickett Season 1As was mentioned earlier in this review, Ote Keely took Joe Pickett’s gun when he was writing a citation for killing an elk. Joe gets the weapon back, and he was so frustrated that he was tempted to shoot Ote Keely, but he does not. He writes him the ticket and Ote Keely must find a way to get his license back. As Joe Pickett tells Ote Keely, you must give the mother a chance to birth her offspring before you kill it. This only makes sense, if you need it for food, this is the best way to go about it. You need that offspring to be born so that the circle of life can continue. Yes, that reference can be found in the Lion King. If you are asking, is this accurate to the book. What happens with Ote taking Joe’s gun and Joe having to get it back is in the book.The audience will meet Vern Dunnegan who was the Game Warden before Joe Pickett and at first the audience will believe Vern to be a good guy. Vern looks like he is on Joe Pickett’s side, and he wants to the only the best for Joe Pickett. Later, as the season progresses, Vern shows his true colors, and he is more interested in making money than doing what is right. This is accurate to the book as Vern was like this in the book.The audience will meet Joe Pickett’s kids Sheridan and Lucy Pickett. They are good kids, and I personally would want them as my kids. They are the type of children that play well with each other. Sheridan asks Lucy to please not tell her parents or anyone else about the animals in the wood pile. Yes, if you are asking this is accurate to the book as Sheridan did ask Lucy to keep them a secret. Sheridan fears that if anyone else knows about her pets, they will die. She lost goldfish and dogs. I personally do not know if that is true because we all have pets that die. I had plenty of pets that died, and some of that had to with either of them getting old or someone intentionally killing them. It is unfortunate when that happens, but personally I would not trade the love I have gotten from them, and what it taught me as well. My cats have helped me to be a better person as I have learned to love them, and in return they love me in the best way they can. Albus, one of my two cats usually must check on me in the morning to make sure I am still here, and he likes to come in my room to spend time with me. Yes, I may have to get up a little earlier than I would like, but I would never trade that time for anything else. It is a good time because I realize he loves me, and I love him. Trudy usually greets me when I get home, no matter what it is and Albus will do this occasionally. This is why I believe when a person can show love to animals like Sheridan does, it helps to humanize you. It makes a person more capable of loving others. This is a good thing, and it makes a person stronger.Before the animals were in the woodpile, Ote Keely was found dead near Joe Pickett’s wood pile that he keeps in his yard. Joe Pickett calls the police, and this will lead the viewer to meeting Sheriff Barnum and Deputy McLanahan. Yes, these two characters are in the first book of Open Season. Sheriff Barnum is not the best of Sheriffs as he is more interested in staying in office than solving crimes. Barnum was concerned about losing the election. They both make a joke that Ote Keely maybe bringing a beer. That is what could have been in that cooler. The cooler did not contain beer, it contained something else.As not to forget the Keelys have a daughter and her name is April Keely and yes April Keely is in the book of Open Season. This makes it accurate to the book of Open Season. April Keely knows Sheridan Pickett as she and Sheridan go to the same school. April Keely’s mother Jeannie Keely is pregnant and if you are asking, yes this is accurate to the book of Open Season. April gets made fun of by girls in her school for wearing a coat that one of those girls claims to have given to a charity. This girl would have been considered as a mean girl. The other girls that were laughing at April would be considered as mean girls as well. April later when she gets home throws the coat in the trash. Her mother Jeannie Keely finds the coat and tells her daughter that she does not care if she does not want the coat anymore. It is understandable as the Keelys are living in a trailer park and do not have a lot of money. They are struggling to make ends meet. This is why Ote Keely needs his hunting license as this helps to provide for his family. Yes, Ote would not be considered a saint, but he is doing the best he can to help provide for his family. No one can fault him for that.Jeannie Keely is struggling with her husband being dead because without her husband she does not have a way to provide for herself. She is desperate and does not have a lot of money and skills. Saddle String is not a place where there are a lot of jobs. It is in a rural area, unless you work on a farm, or you hunt, there are not a lot of opportunities.Do not worry, I have not forgotten about Joe Pickett’s wife MaryBeth Pickett. MaryBeth Pickett is a beautiful woman and like in the book, she looks good even pregnant. Yes, she is pregnant in the book of Open Season. The book describes her being pregnant and being attractive even when she is pregnant. They will do an ultrasound when MaryBeth Pickett is at her doctor’s appointment. The doctor tells Joe Pickett that it is a boy.The viewer will meet Nate Romanski. I do not remember him being in the first book, but I could have missed that part when I was listening to the audio version of this book. This is a change to the book, but it works. It is good to see how Joe Pickett meets Nate Romanski and as Nate Romanski will tell Joe and the audience, he was set up by the actual killer of Ote Keely. Nate Romanski uses a compound bow, and it will appear to the Sheriff Barnum and Deputy McLanahan that he is the killer. There is one thing that does not make sense, the arrow was tipped with poison and if they did a complete search, they would find that he does not have any type of poison like that in his living space.Joe Pickett will go with Wacey and Deputy McLanahan up to the mountain to find the answers to the murder of Ote Keely. It will appear to the viewer that the answer is there, but it will not be so. They will lose their horses as Deputy Mcclanhan will shoot his gun off and it will cause the horses to be scared. This was a stupid move as they had to go up foot on that mountain and spend the night outdoors. Yes, this is accurate to the book.MaryBeth Pickett will meet with Nate Romanski and tell him if you sent my husband up there to die, I promise you will regret hearing the name of Pickett. This proves to the viewer that MaryBeth Pickett is not a woman to messed with. She is a strong woman who does not any flak from anyone.Joe Pickett with Wacey, and Deputy McLanahan get up the mountain and find Clive Lidgard who if you are asking is in the first book of Open Season. Yes, he gets shot, and Joe Pickett must shoot him before he shoots Wacey, Deputy McLanahan, or himself. When a person has a gun, that training tells you to use deadly force before you become a victim yourself. This makes sense.Sheriff Barnum will fly up there with the helicopter and Joe Pickett, with Wacey, and Deputy McLanahan will be able to get out of that situation. Joe Pickett will be in the hospital as he was shot, and he needs to be tended to. MaryBeth Pickett will go to the hospital and find out that her husband is okay. Joe Pickett will be met by Vern Dunnegan by his bed and yes this happened in the book Open Season. MaryBeth is frustrated with Joe not because she does not love him but because she does love him. She was afraid of losing him.The series will progress with Clive Lidgard’s trailer being exploded with Joe Pickett and MaryBeth Pickett. This is a change to the original book because Joe Pickett was alone in the trailer and lost his gun. This is a good change because personally I like MaryBeth Pickett being with him and helping him to find the truth. MaryBeth Pickett will tell Nate Romanski that she will step down as his attorney. He tells her, “I understand that you are scared, but I am fighting for my life here. Doing the right thing is not easy”.The series will progress with MaryBeth Pickett representing Nate Romanski and trying to get the charges dismissed by the court. A person who claims to be with the U.S. Marshalls is trying to get Nate Romanski so that he can kill him. Nate must tie MaryBeth Pickett up and escape out the window to protect her and himself from this man.The fake U.S. Marshall will try to kill the female deputy that was overseeing Nate Romanski while he was in jail. She fed him food that he could eat. He could not eat food that was hard. Nate Romanski will rescue her from this man and kill him. She knew that Nate had to be a government operative because he burned off his fingerprints. She lets Nate go knowing that he could not be the killer of Ote Keely since guilty men do not come back to rescue someone if that person is guilty.Joe Pickett will meet Les Etbauer who is the head of Game Wardens and is wanting to suspend Joe Pickett for losing his gun to Ote Keely. He wonders how this could happen. As Joe explained to Les Etbauer that he was writing a citation to Ote Keely and explained to him that it is easier than you think. To prove Joe’s point, he took his name tag from Les Etbauer that it is easier than you think. Joe gets suspended and as in the book, this is a joke as this does not give Joe a chance to have his case heard by anyone else.Wacey will offer up the Kissinger house for the Picketts to stay at. If you are asking, no I did not forget that Wacey threatened Sheridan that he knows about her animals in the woodpile. He does threaten her that he will kill her family not just her if she tells anyone about them. She is scared to say the least. She has nightmares which are understandable. If any person were threatened like she was, no matter your age, you would be scared not for yourself, but those you care about. Missy, Marybeth’s mother, is a user, and she believes that it is her right to live in luxury. She takes the most expensive wine while she is a guest in the Kissinger house.Joe Pickett will go up to the mountain to find out with Nate the proof he needed to prove that the Miller’s Weasels do exist. He does this after MaryBeth Pickett told him what he was feeling was b******t. She told him, you cannot believe that. She told him to keep fighting the good fight. This is what Joe is doing. He goes up the mountain which is narrow, and that is not an easy thing for the horse to navigate. That is accurate to the book. The change with Nate works in the show as it made it, so Joe did not have to do this alone. Nate tells Joe, the uniform does not make the man, the man makes the uniform. If you are not a man of character, the uniform means nothing, unless you are a person of character to begin with. Joe will figure out with the pictures from Clive Lidgard that Wacey is the killer and that this conspiracy to cover this has a bunch of actors involved.Sheridan and Marybeth Pickett will go back to their house as Sheridan tells her mother that she needs to get her book for a class she needs to finish a school assignment. This will lead to Marybeth being shot by Wacey and she tells Sheridan to run after that happens. Wacey will be upset with her claiming it was her fault, when he was the idiot that shot her in the first place. Marybeth Pickett will later escape and must crash a car in a shed to get someone to call 911. She is taken to Billings, MT as that has a hospital that can treat her. As a result, she loses the baby.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of season 1 and set up season 2.I will give you, my rating. I give Joe Pickett Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but helps the viewer to understand how bad greed is. The other players in this story are the Scarletts as they are corrupt rich people that want to get richer, and like Vern Dunnegan and Wacey do not care who they hurt if they get what they want. Jennie Keely does leave April as she was desperate, and she would be on the run, and feared for her life as well as April’s. What happens speaking of April? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. There are changes to the original book of Open Season, but they work as the story flowed well and the essence of the original story remains in this season. Does Sheridan survive? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. The reason I mentioned greed before, you can watch the Dopesick series reviews which was the first thing I reviewed for my channel. You can click on this link to the playlist of the Dopesick series reviews. I said in one of those reviews that greed is the worst sin, and that like Sacklers, the people such as Vern Dunnegan, Wacey, and the Scarlets do not care about who they hurt, if they got their pipeline so they could all become rich and in Wacey’s case to become Sheriff. This is a dangerous thing as this story proves. Wacey wanting to being Sheriff and doing whatever it took to be Sheriff is very similar to Sebastin Blood in Season 2 of Arrow when he was willing to do whatever it took to become Mayor when he decided to work with Slade Wilson and not fully understanding what Slade wanted to do.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Secret Invasion Season 1 that is currently on Disney+ done by Marvel Studios. I will be going over several topics in this episode. The first season will deal with the Skrulls wanting Earth as their own. They want to be able to live in their skin as Gaia tells the audience, and this is Gravik’s plan. It will force Nick Fury to come back as he will feel responsible for what is happening in this first season of this series of Secret Invasion. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Ways to help and support the Newsletter and ChannelI want to thank Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page as this helps to support the channel and means a lot to me as well.

Now on with the review.Please click watch the trailer for Secret Invasion below. Thank you.Rest of the Review and Rating of Secret InvasionAs was mentioned before, Secret Invasion will deal with Skrulls wanting Earth as their own. Gravitk’s plan is to have humans destroy each other. He is hoping to put fuel to the fire in hopes it will cause humans to destroy to each other. He will have this be the case.The series will begin with Everett Ross talking to Prescott and Prescott, saying that Skrulls are planning to take Earth as their own. Everett Ross tells Prescott that does not make sense as Talos is on our side. Prescott says that this happened 30 years ago when Nick Fury and Carol Danvers brought Skrulls to Earth. The Skrulls were brought to Earth because as was mentioned that the Cree were going to destroy them if they did not come to the Earth. This reference can be found in Captain Marvel. Prescott will be killed by Everett Ross, but he is not Everett Ross, he is a Skrull as Talos will chase him and he will jump off the building and die by the impact of the ground. Talos tells Maria Hill that he is not on my side; he is on the side of the extreme faction of Skrulls who are led by Gravik.The season will have attacks in Russia as in hopes it will cause humans to start World War III. This is the Skrulls ultimate plan. They will get dirty bombs as was shown in the first episode of this season. Gaia acquires it for them. She tells her father Talos that you could not protect Mom. Talos tells her that Gravik killed your mother. He is the reason your mother is dead. You need to confront him.Gaia will come to her senses and realize she needs to help her father. She will remain a spy so she will know Gravik’s plans and hope to stop him. She lets her father know that Gravik will have several bags marked with the bomb. She lets him know that Gravik will know that you are there.Talos, Nick Fury, Maria Hill will be in Moscow, and this is where it goes South. They try to stop them, but Maria Hill gets shot by Gravik posing to be Nick Fury, and she will die as a result. Gravik will set off the bomb and have it been blamed by the Americans setting fuel to the fire in hopes of getting this to spread. He wants to set off World War III by having humans exterminate each other.Nick Fury will later meet with Colonial Rhodes in the second episode of this season. He will talk about what do you know about your security team. Rhodes will say, what do I know about them? Nick Fury will be fired by him, and he tells Colonial Rhodes, I am Nick Fury, even when I am out, I am in. This will imply to the viewer and to Colonial Rhodes that Nick Fury is not someone to be messed with. The security guard tries to escort him out, and Nick Fury breaks his arm. He walks out, but this will not deter him.It is important not to forget Sonya is important as she and Nick Fury have worked together before. She is British and works for the British Intelligence. She is smart and knows how to get information when she needs it. She cut the finger of one of the Skrulls and it showed the true skin when injured. This makes sense as they cannot hold that shape if the cells have been damaged. One of them told her what she needed to know about the plan to set off a Nuke.As Prescott would have said, they are having these attacks look like any terrorist organization, but that is their plan. They want it to be like business as usual. Gravik wants to create chaos and in that chaos, he wants to pit the humans against each other. He is made General by the Skrull council, and he will instill the plan that he has for Earth.The compound in Russia is where the Skrulls are hiding, and they are calling it New Skrullias. This is where the Skrulls are hiding and where they have their human hostages that they have been keeping there. It is where they have been taking their place amongst humans and using what these people know so they can pit humans against each other. They can read human minds and take what they know and be able to answer the questions that a person knows. This makes it dangerous as you would not be able to trick them into answering a question only that person knows.In the third episode, Talos will meet with Gravik and warn him that we need to be incredibly careful. He tells him that you do not want to give humans a common enemy. They will unite when they know they have a common enemy to fight. Talos wants his people to survive, and he is hoping that Gravik will see reason as this is not the way to get what they want. Gravik will threaten Talos that he will kill Gaia. Talos will stab a fork in his hand, and it will heal because he took the Extremis formula which is an Easter Egg from Iron Man 3.Gaia will later in this episode help Talos stop a Nuke that Bob was setting up to be sent to set fuel to the fire. Talos was with Nick Fury, and Nick Fury asked him to take Bob’s shape and stop the Nuke. As Talos tells Nick Fury that the only way to do that is for me to know the code, but only Bob knows it. Talos kills Bob after Bob threatens him with Gaia being a spy. Gaia goes down to the compound to help Talos and Nick Fury stop the Nuke before it can be sent. Gaia will later encounter Gravik and she will be shot and appear to be dead.In the fourth episode, Gaia survives the shot to her body thanks to the fact that she took the Extremis formula. It allowed her not to die, and she later goes to her father Talos. Talos tells her that we need to show humans who we are by doing the right thing. She thinks that he is ridiculous as she tells her father Talos that Gravik’s plan works with the Skrulls that are following him.Nick Fury encounters Colonial Rhodes after he found out that his wife Priscilla was supposed to kill Nick Fury. She refuses, and they both shoot the wall instead. Colonial Rhodes met with his wife Priscilla who is a Skrull in a church and told her to kill Nick Fury. Nick Fury had a listening device on one of them and found out that Colonial Rhodes is a skrull. This means the real Colonial Rhodes is in that compound being kept alive attached to the machine that Carol Danvers was attached to in the movie Captain Marvel. He warns Colonial Rhodes that there is a skrull amongst the President and he is closer than you might think.The attack on the President happens and this will cause Nick Fury and Talos to go to action. Talos will get wounded, and Gravik is bringing him posing to be the President’s protection. He kills Talos. Nick Fury shoots Gravik and he just absorbs the bullet.In the fifth episode of this season, Gaia will encounter Nick Fury and tell him that her father Talos died for nothing. As Nick Fury tells her while he is in a safe house, that your father did not die for anything. He chose to stick with the struggle. That is not easy, but it is necessary. Fighting into the struggle does not mean you win every time, but you keep on fighting. That is a lesson worth learning. This is after Nick Fury must escape the hospital where President Ritson is after the fake Colonial Rhodes is framing him for killing Maria Hill. He will release the video over the airways. It was Gravik that killed Maria Hill.Gaia will tell Nick Fury that Gravik is looking for the Harvest. Nick Fury knows what this means that Gravik is looking for the blood of every superhero during the battle with Thanos during Avengers: End Game. Gravik wants to instill their DNA into him, so that he can become Super. That is the plan in case he must fight the Avengers himself.Nick Fury goes to a Cemetery in Finland to find the place where he knew put the Harvest. It requires him to breathe on it; in the video I make an error that it requires an eye scan (the breath was necessary so that a skrull would not be able to replicate his DNA) that can only be opened by Nick Fury. Nick Fury is with Sonya, and this is after Sonya found out her boss was a skrull after she shot him. She later takes his place in running the British Intelligence. This proves to the viewer that she is smart and knows when to sniff out the trash. Nick Fury will tell her that Colonial Rhodes is a skrull. She was not aware of that. Nick Fury reminds Sonya; you thought I lost my touch. This proves that I have not lost my touch.In the sixth episode, Nick Fury will go to the skrull compound in Russia. This is where the conclusion will happen. In the sixth episode, Nick Fury gives Gravik the Harvest. Nick Fury will tell him; I am sorry for letting you down. I should have been there for you; and not let you down. Gravik will test the Harvest, and knows the formula is pure. He puts it in the machine, and both he and Nick Fury have been exposed to the effects of the formula.This is where the viewer will see the names of Drax, Gamora, and Mantis come up. As the viewer finds out when Nick Fury starts to fight Gravik, it is not Nick Fury but Gaia in disguise. She will fight Gravik and they both light up like Captain Marvel. Gaia will have the Mantis ears come out, and she will use that power to make Gravik fall asleep. Mantis can tell people to sleep.The final episode will have twists and turns, but it will not be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this season and set up more stories to be told in MCU.I will now give you, my rating. I give Secret Invasion Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but helped to expand on the MCU. The series was psychological and felt like a spy thriller. This is a good change for the MCU. Marvel needed to do this as it could use a different approach. A spy thriller is always a fun idea to read, or watch. The complexity of the series is what made it so good. It is relevant to what it feels like is going on in the world. People will act on fear as the last episode of Season 1 will show. Instead of trying to act on a different approach, it unfortunately is a human response to problems. This is Samuel L. Jackson’s best performance in a long time. He really did an excellent job in portraying Nick Fury’s fear, but his determination to stay with the struggle as he told Gaia. It will set up new alliances, and it will help the viewer to know how long it took the skrulls to implement their plan. Personally, I would like to see season 2 of this series, but who knows? There are quite a few questions that need to be answered. What rating do you give this Season? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Intertwined Season 2 that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this review. Season 2 will begin with Marco in the theater escaping the fire and then going to Lucia. He will tell her that he saw Laura’s bracelet on her and that he wants to see it. Lucia will tell him; you were not supposed to see that bracelet. She will show Marco the bracelet and tell him to forget everything and go home. He does not and takes it, and it allows him to travel in time. I will give you my rating at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.How to support the Channel and the NewsletterI want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make; it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it.

For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Please click link below to watch the trailer.Rest of review and rating for Intertwined Season 2As was mentioned in this review, Marco did escape from the theater and ends up going to Lucia and finding out about the bracelet and takes it and goes to 2021. As the first season ended, Marco showed up at the end of Light Years but also called Anos Luz which is Spanish for Light Years. It was on good assumption; I believed this show to take place in South America, and I was right. It takes place in Argentina. Marco finds Laura at the theater, as he believes that to be her name. Laura tells him that her name is Allegra. She later tells Marco that Caterina is her mother.Marco will get a haircut and wear it a lot shorter than he did in 1994. This is important, so that he can blend in. It will help him so that those who knew him will not recognize him. It will help with Caterina, Coco, and Diego in 2021. Felix will show Marco that there is a tombstone showing him that people thought he died in that fire in 1994. It shows his birth year 1976 and the year people believed he was dead in 1994.Felix later has Marco run into his father Franco Resko, and this will cause Marco to travel in time to 1975 and will discover his father Franco Resko at his age with Amelia Sharpe who is Coco. Ameila Sharpe is Coco’s real name before she changed it.Allegra is mad at Felix for bringing Marco’s dad Franco Resko, but as Felix points out that you yourself should know that the bracelet will cause you to travel in time and that you have no control over it. Felix is right, and whoever wears the bracelet will travel in time, and does not know when it will happen.Marco meets his father at his age, as well as Amelia (Coco) Sharpe, and his mother. He did not know at first that it is his mother. His father, Coco, and his mother were all friends before they had a falling out. As Marco can see that his father had a desire in music, and that he was hoping to open a theater in Argentina. His father is running his father’s club, and he needs to prove to his father that this music act of theirs will work. Marco sings with Ameila (Coco) Sharpe, and this causes his father to have an idea that this club can be successful if both sing together. The song they are singing is Summer Loving. It has been sung many times as it was sung in the first of the season of The Flash. Caitlin and Barry sang it when they were doing Karaoke in a bar.Marco will return to 2021, and he will run into Allegra and Felix and tell them that he went to 1975 not 1994 as Allegra would have thought. This makes sense as people in the present have not seen Marco since 1994. He had to travel to 2021 and 1975. His father had not seen him since the theater fire that night. He tells them that Coco and his father knew each other, and they were involved in a relationship. Felix teases Marco and Allegra that you could be like Luke and Leia in Star Wars that you are related to.This will keep happening with Marco travel back to 1975 and 2021. He will bump into his mother, and she tells him her name is Paloma. Marco realizes that it is his mother’s name and that this is his mother’s name. She has dark her, and his mother Paloma is attractive, and she tells Marco’s father Franco that she loves him.Marco tells Allegra that his mother told his father that she loved him. Marco tells Allegra that he believes that he can be together. This is Marco and Allegra’s hope that they can.Felix will tell Marco what the purple in the bracelet means. Those who had green like Allegra would end up back in their own time. Those who had purple did not end back in their original time; this means that Marco must figure out what his mission is. As Felix tells him, he must do so in 12 days (about 1 week and 5 days). Felix is mad at Marco as he feels that he is stealing Allegra from him. He was helping him in hopes he would go back to his own time. This is understandable. There will be those who would feel that he is an intruder and would hope he goes back to his own time.Marco will learn about Coco’s relationship with Pedro. It is not a romantic relationship, but a business relationship. It is where Pedro helps to break her into the theater business. They will both create Coco’s theater company at 11:00. It will help the viewer to understand how she became who she was, and that her grandmother Allegra encouraged her to do this and not put her career on hold. Women have been doing this for years, but she listens to her grandmother, and her mother encourages her to do this as well.Coco gets blamed for the fire at the theater that happened in 1994. She was getting set up by someone who had it out for her. It is too convenient for that to happen. As Mike would say, “Coco would never allow herself to get caught on camera with that watch”. This means it is someone who has it out for Coco.Marco will find out who set the fire. This will not be mentioned here.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this season and set up a possible Season 3.I will give you, my rating. I give Intertwined Season 2, a 10 out of 10. It was fun and helped to build off the continuing story left from Season 1. It helps the viewer understand what happened, and answers questions about Marco’s disappearance. It was believed that he died in the fire, but he did not. The end of Season 1 would show that. Marco will discover that his father loved music, and that his mother Paloma loved to sing only in front of Marco’s father. She was embarrassed to sing in front of people. It will help her son Marco encourage her to do so. She does not know that he is her son as he keeps that secret. There is a new character that appears in this series in 2021, and her name is Clara. Clara gets herself cast in Light Years, and she is a mystery. There is no backstory, and the viewer does not know where she came from. This is good as it will open more stories to be told in a possible Season 3. Personally, it will be great to know more about Clara. There is a fascination with not knowing who someone is and finding out who that person is. The jealousy of Felix with Marco creates the right tension, and it is understandable why Felix feels that way. Any person who has feelings like Felix would feel that way. It is natural for a person to feel that way. Who knows when there will be season 3, since there is a writer’s and actor’s strike in Hollywood, but hopefully Hollywood can get their act together and the studios realize they will lose a lot of money, if they do not. Things like books, movies, and TV shows help people to be more human. Art humanizes people. Sports teaches teamwork, but it does not humanize people. It tends to make people more aggressive to each other. Art like books, movies, TV Shows, even live theaters have lessons to teach people; and those lessons are important to learn.Please go my websitePlease go to this link check out my website and you will find links on there to other sites such Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritc. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny that is currently in theaters. I will go over several topics in this review. The movie will start off with Indiana Jones back in the 1940’s fighting the Nazis trying to stop them from acquiring a piece of archaeology that will make them invincible. It will lead to an epic battle for this device which most of the movie will take place in 1969. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I will also let you know how I rate each movie in the franchise from first to last at the end of this review.How to Support the Channel and NewsletterI want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $5 a month, $8 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of Review and Rating for Indiana Jones and the Dial of DestinySpoiler Warning: This review may contain spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled, do not continue, but if you do not care, then continue. Thank you.This movie starts off with the Disney symbol with Lucasfilm and the Paramount symbol as well. To be honest, I was not sure if they would have the Paramount symbol, but it is good that they did. The first four movies were done with Paramount, and it only makes sense that this one should be as well.As was mentioned before, Indiana Jones stole the dial of destiny from the Nazis, and later has it taken back to the college he teaches at to keep it safe. Indiana Jones wakes up in 1969 in his underwear watching TV. He is a shell of his former shelf. He does not look like that Indiana Jones of the past. This makes sense as he has gotten older. He is probably in his 70’s. To point out this fact, in 1912 in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, he was probably between 14 and 16 when he was stealing the cross of Coronado from the people that were going to keep it for themselves.Indiana Jones bangs on the door with the baseball bat telling one of his neighbors that this is a workday. The guy tells him it is 8:00 AM and that it is not that early in the morning. Indiana tells him, it is a workday, but as he points it out, so what? There are Easter Eggs in Indiana Jones’ apartment as it has the picture of Jesus on the cross that his father had when they were looking for the holy grail. That is one obvious Easter Egg that was in this movie.Indiana Jones later gets visited by Helena that wants to find the dial of destiny. According to Helena that this dial was created by Archimedes and that it can travel in time. Her father wanted Indiana Jones to destroy it, but he did not. Could the device be destroyed? That is the big question. Who knows at this point?Indiana Jones later has colleagues get killed by the Nazis who were posing as FBI agents trying to get their hands on the dial of destiny. He later gets framed for their deaths. This is very similar to when Harrison Ford starred in the Fugitive when he got framed for killing his wife in that movie. Ironically, the Fugitive is 30 years old. That movie came out in 1993. It is hard to believe that the movie is 30 years old.The scene where Indiana Jones escapes with the horse in the Subway in NYC is funny as you would not expect a horse to go in a Subway and run on the train tracks like it did. It made sense as it is the only way he could escape from the Nazis that were posing as FBI agents trying to get the dial of destiny. Helena stole it as she was taking it to be sold at a black-market auction. The device was split in two and you had to find the other half and put it back together for it to work.The movie will have a map that is unique to Indiana Jones. The map they use so that you can know where he goes on his adventures to find the pieces he is looking for. This was good that this was there, so the viewer got the experience he or she was looking for.The movie will take the viewer through epic chase sequences as Helena with her partner whose name is Teddy and Indiana Jones are trying to get the piece back from the Nazis that stole it so they can use it to back in time. The one called Dr. Voller wants to use it to go back to 1939, so that he can kill Hitler and become Fuher instead. He wants to be the one to call the shots instead of Hitler. Indiana asks if he was still a Nazi, the answer was yes.The movie will have the feel of the archaeological adventure that the viewer expects to see unlike what happened in the Kingdom of Crystal Skull. This makes sense that viewers are hesitant to see this movie because of the Kingdom of Crystal Skull but give this movie a chance. This movie will redeem the Kingdom of Crystal Skull and will have the feeling that was mentioned in this review.This movie will end up in Syracuse, Sicily where the other half is. There is a scene on the water where there are eels in the water. Teddy was saying, eels are like snakes. This was going to his fear of Snakes, which is classic since the first movie of Raiders of the Lost Ark.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this movie. It will not set up another movie in the franchise.I will give you, my rating. I give Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny a 10 out 10. It was fun and it ended the way the viewer would have liked. The movie will be the fun adventure that you would expect it to be. Indiana will retire from his job as a college professor and archeologist. He is in his 70’s and this makes sense for him to retire. A person gets to that point, where they say they have done enough, and you do not want to work forever. Sometimes, it is good for there to be fresh blood. Of course, it does mean a person cannot, but we all reach the end eventually. What rating do you give this movie? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.As how I would the rate the Indiana Jones movies. The first top three films are Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Last Crusade, and the Dial of Destiny. These top three films are a tie for me. I cannot say I like one better than the other in this rating. The Last Crusade is on this list because I like the Search for the cup of Christ, and it has the feel that the viewer is looking for. The fourth film is the Temple of Doom, the content is good, but the gruesomeness of the film is what I do not find appealing. The content is good, and it still deals with archaeology. The last film is the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, because it went too much with science fiction and it did not feel like the archaeological adventure that the viewer would expect it to be.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the book A Killer’s Game, A Daniela Vega Thriller written by Isabella Maldonado which is an Amazon Published Book. I will go over several topics in this episode. This story will start off with the murder of a prominent Senator’s chief of staff, and it will seem like the Senator is innocent in this story. It will lead Daniella Vega being put in with a bunch of murderers to hire in a deadly game where she must survive a trial by combat. It is a sick and twisted game created by the mastermind in this. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.I want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make; it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio, Ken, and Peter or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $1 a month, $5 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.As was mentioned in this review, the book starts with the murder of a prominent Senator’s chief of staff. It will reveal things that will not want to be revealed. The Senator’s chief of staff was provided with information that the Senator was corrupt and was taking bribes just to stay in power. This murder happened in New York City. The killer looks like he is going to kill an innocent girl, but he does not. It is a bluff, just for him to get away. He was hired to kill the Senator’s chief of staff and that is what he does. Of course, the name of the victim is mentioned; it is better if it is not revealed in this review.Daniella Vega will catch this guy after he sees him in Central Park. She captures him and he is taken to the JTTF. JTTF means Joint Terrorism Task Force which comprises of Federal law enforcement with local law enforcement working together to solve or stop terrorist threats. This task force was created after September 11, 2001, and happened. This task force handles Terrorist threats. The name of the killer is Gustavo Torro. This is in the book description of the book if you read it on Amazon. He is turned into an informant; he and Daniella Vega will go undercover to stop whatever the Colonial is planning. They are led to believe that they are going to a virtual training facility, but it ends up being a deadly killer’s game.The Killer’s game is a trial by combat, and it is forcing all these contract killers to have to face off against each other in this dangerous and deadly game for their lives. They are not fighting for money; they are fighting for their lives. They must kill or be killed. This game is no different than war. The individual that produces this deadly game is called Nemesis. Nemesis has an agenda, and this is personal for Nemesis. Yes, the name of the person called Nemesis is in the book, but it will not be revealed for you to read the book. The reader will conclude that this is personal for Nemesis.Gustavo Torro and Daniela Vega must figure out how to survive this deadly game that Nemesis has planned for them and the people they are having to survive against. Even Colonial, there are 13 of them that must survive this deadly game that Nemesis has planned for them.This would be justice for these people, but no one should have to be put through a sick game like this. It is better to just to kill them then to torture them like this. This is no different than the Roman gladiator games. Nemesis believes this will be justice for the Colonial and these thugs that have worked for him to do these horrible things that they have done over the years. Nemesis blames the FBI for their failure to get justice for what had happened to Nemesis 10 years ago before this event of this trial by combat takes place.Daniela Vega will get help from unusual sources as well as Gustavo Torro will surprise the reader in this book. At the beginning, he is nothing more than a contract killer, but he will prove he is more than that. The Colonial is a disgraced military man, who works for nothing more than money at the time of this trial by combat takes place. He is a man that was more interested in greed and power. The Colonial did not advance in the way he was hoping for too.As not to forget, Daniela Vega was an Army Ranger, which means if anyone can get out of this, it is her with her training. She understands a warlike situation. She can figure out how to get out of this deadly game that Nemesis has put her in. She is a codebreaker, and a puzzle master which Nemesis will put puzzles for her to solve, and she must use that ability to help her to get out this deadly game of this Subterrain labyrinth that she and Gustavo Torro have been put in.Steve Wu is an FBI agent that oversees this operation with the help of the NYPD Detective Flint. They must figure out where these breadcrumbs lead and what they mean to help save Daniela Vega and Gustavo Torro who is their informant. They must figure out where these leads. They get help from Daniela Vega’s brother who is a wiz with a computer and is very bright at an early age. He is going to Columbia, which is not an easy school to go to. Steve Wu tells her brother that he went to Columbia as well and knows that it is a tough school to get into.There are others in the JTTF that help with this, but this will be left for you to read the book. It is important for you to want to read the book, which I will leave in the description below.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax of this book and set up a sequel to this book.I will give you, my rating. I give The Killer’s Game, Daniela Vega Book 1, a 10 out of 10. It is fun but tells an important story. It does well by combining the computer game experience that the participants of the Killer’s game are going through. The viewers believe this game is a video game that is not real, but it is real. They do an excellent job of using the Greek mythology that represents each person in this story to a T. It is exactly accurate to these characters in this story; the reader can say that this makes sense to that. The participants are horrible people for most of them except for Daniela Vega and Gustavo Torro. Yes, he was a contract killer, but he redeems in this book. The Colonial is a horrible man and the people that are with him are horrible. Daniela Vega will show her toughness in this horrible game that she has been put in. Both FBI agent Steve Wu and NYPD detective Flint will show their determination to find this place that Daniela Vega and Gustavo Torro have been put in. They hope that her brother gave them the clue they need to find both and that the others in the JTTF can help them put the right piece of this puzzle together. The author worked for the FBI, and this shows why her facts are so accurate here in this story. She also talked to those in the Army, so she knew what she needed to make that aspect of Daniela Vega’s training feels real. She does her homework, and her description of New York City is accurate since I have visited there myself. It is good that it comes with an audio version as this will help if a person travels, and that is a plus. The reader will think he/she has figured it out once the pieces of the puzzle are put together, but there is another twist in this book. Who is the actual mastermind of this twisted game? Is the Senator corrupt in this story? Please leave your answers in the comment section below.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark in Live Concert. What this means is that the music is being performed by a live symphony orchestra. It is the music that goes to the original Indiana Jones films. It is a cool experience to say the least. I will give you my rating of the movie and the experience of watching with live symphony orchestra playing the music while the film is playing. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Why it is important to support the ChannelI want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio and Ken for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio and Ken or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $5 a month, $8 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of Experience of watching and my rating of Raiders of the Lost ArkYes, this is a cool experience to see the movie that I have watched personally several times on VHS, this means I watched the movie on video cassette tape. Before there were DVDs or streaming, if a person did not watch a movie in the theater, this is how a person would have watched the movie unless that person watched the movie on TV. This means that a person would have to watch the movie when it was on a scheduled program of the channel on TV that person would have to watch the movie. The VCR tape has the advantage of being sure you could watch the movie when you wanted to. I would rather stream the movie today than do that, but back then it was not an option.I watched the movie live with the symphony orchestra playing and you get to see a bunch of different people as there are those that were cosplaying as Indiana Jones. I was not allowed to take pictures and make a video while the concert was happening, so I must describe it to you. It was cool to see it that way. My family was with me, and they let me know that they enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it if you had the time and the money to do this. It is a fun way to do it and you get to see the movie on a big screen like you get to see in a movie theater. It is fun to watch the orchestra play while the movie is being played to the audience that is watching the movie and performing symphony orchestra.The movie is as good as I remember it. No matter how many times I watch it, it brings back memories of good times. My mother told me when she planned to see it back in May of 1981, she missed part of the beginning. She was where Indiana Jones was escaping with the statue, and she missed the part of him going in to see what happened to get there in the first place.Indiana Jones has an enemy as an archeologist and that enemy is Belloc. Belloc is a French Archaeologist that always takes the stuff that he finds and keeps it for himself. Belloc will take something of his like the headpiece where Indiana Jones is in South America as the film will start at and the year is 1936.If anyone has seen the movie knows that Indiana Jones later gets hired by the Army Intelligence to find the Ark of the Covenant. He with Marcus Brody’s blessing knows that he must get this before the Nazis do.This will lead him to running into his old girlfriend of Marion Ravenwood, who is the daughter of Professor Abner Ravenwood who was Indiana Jones’ professor when he was at the University of Chicago. This will take him to Nepal as this is where Marion Ravenwood is at the time and story takes place. The year that story takes place is 1936.The film will later take the viewer to Egypt after Indiana Jones was in Nepal to get Marion Ravenwood. She agrees to help him in the quest to help him to find the ark of the covenant before the Nazis do.Indiana Jones will learn from his friend Salla that the Nazis try to hire him before he did. He refused as he could not work for them. Indy knows he needs Salla’s help to be able to get the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis do.This will lead them to finding out that the staff the Nazis use with Belloc’s help is too long. This means they are digging in the wrong place. Indiana Jones will have to figure out how to keep the ark out of the Nazis’ hands. That is easier said than done.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the film and set up other movies that will be done in this franchise.I will give you, my rating. I give Indiana Jones: The Raiders the Lost Ark, a 10 out of 10 as well as give the same thing to the concert as well. I love this movie as it is fun, and you have characters that you can root for. The viewer will know that it is not easy, but Indiana Jones finds a way. The character with the glasses is a psychopath as he enjoys in torturing people and killing them. He is used to getting his way and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Psychopaths do not only enjoy killing, but they also enjoy torture. They see it as their right and this what it looks like when you have a cult such as the Nazis running around, doing what they do. The concert was fun and worth doing. As I said before, do it if you can and if not, you can always watch the movie on Disney+. It is available there for you to watch as well. When did you watch this movie? Did you do it as a child or an adult? How old were you when you watched this movie? What rating do you give this film? Have you watched the film with a live symphony orchestra playing the score of the film? Please leave your answer in the comment section below.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing. Out of the Ashes Book by Kara Thomas that is currently on Amazon. This book is an amazon published book. This book will deal with Samantha Newsome who lost her family to a fire and believes that her family is dead until she finds out from an inmate by the name of Leonard Boggs that her sister Lyndsey is still alive that someone took her and there is hope that she did not lose her entire family. An attorney that works for the state police of New York will help her to uncover the truth. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.I want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio, Ken, and Peter for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make; it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio and Ken or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $5 a month, $8 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.As was mentioned in this review, Samantha Newsome found out that one of her family members was still alive, that is her immediate family. She still has family with her Uncle Gill, but he dies at the beginning of this story from cancer. She has a cousin named Rhiannon, but she and Samantha have an interesting relationship to say the least. Her aunt is named Michelle, but she goes by Mitch. Mitch is Samantha’s father’s sister. Mitch can be a little harsh around Samantha to say the least.After her Uncle Gill dies, he leaves Samantha in the house, and Samantha suddenly gets left a house that she does not want to keep. She will consider selling it once she gets the stuff that her uncle left cleared out.Samantha is having images of her past come back to haunt her. She is having a tough time dealing with the pain. She bumps into Taylor literally when she taps the bumper of the truck for Ealy Farms. Ironically, her dad worked for Ealy Farms when he was around. Taylor lets her know that he must contact the company if this happens. This is when she bumps into Rhiannon, her cousin who happens to work at Ealy Farms as well. This will cause them to talk again. The relationship is rocky, but it does mean they do not love each other still as this book will point out to the reader.Before her uncle died, Samantha learns that her uncle Gill had regrets. He says, “I am so sorry Marnie.” It is like he is having survivor’s guilt that of Samantha’s mother of Marnie getting murdered. Samantha left Carney after college and lives in Queens and works as a nurse at a hospital in New York City. She enjoys her job, but at times it can be tough. Nancy told Samantha before she had to go back to Carney, New York to deal with her uncle Gill’s affairs; Nancy asks Samantha if they did everything that they could do to help a patient that was 93 years old that was on her death bed. This request was made by the 93-year-old woman’s son. As Samantha said, “The woman was 93 years old and was not in the best of health. What more could we have done?” This is understandable as this was after Samantha just dealt with her Uncle Gill dying.Samantha goes to the detective of Carney police department that handled her family’s murder case at the time the murders happen. She goes to Pennsylvania where he resides after he retires from the Carney Police Department. His name is Karl Holcombe. He lets her know that he believes that there is one man that could have killed your family and his is name is Ed Robinette. If it seems convenient, it is because it is. Ed Robinette is not the type as the reader will find to do something like this. He sells drugs, but he is not the type of person do something this horrible.This will lead Samantha to run into Stephen Rhodes because she wants to know what he has to do with this. Stephen Rhodes was the police officer that was the bad apple. He tended to be the police officer that no one wanted to run into. He was officer Rhodes at the time of Samantha’s family being killed. He is now Detective Rhodes. She believes it was cops that got her family killed. It is no secret that the Carney Police Department totally messed up this case. As the story will reveal, another individual who was from Carney felt the same as Samantha does about the Carney Police Department.The reason Samantha wanted to talk to Stephen Rhodes at first was to find her old friend Danica Burkhardt that went missing. She wanted to find out where she was. She pretended that she was someone else, so Rhodes would not treat her differently. Newsome is not a name in Carney that was known to have a lot of respect for.Samantha goes to Cloud 69 where she meets Breanna Corbin in hopes of finding her old friend Danica Burkhardt. Danica goes by the name of Dani. Her stripper’s name is Ariel. Yes, if you are wondering, yes, she goes by Ariel like in the Little Mermaid. Ed Robinette was selling drugs to these strippers that Samantha was interested in. She learns that her old friend of Dani was seeing a guy called the King.The King is none other than Bo Ealy. If that name sounds familiar as he is related to the family that owns Ealy farms. There is a worker that died the same year Samantha’s family did. The name of that worker was Luiza Witowski. She was a polish immigrant that was believed to be killed by Stephen Rhodes. As the reader will find out he did not kill her.The story will have twists and turns. What Samantha thinks she knows, she does not. It will end up being a surprise once the reader gets to the end of the book.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax of the story.I will give you, my rating. I give Out of the Ashes, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells an immensely powerful story. It is good that it comes with an audio version, so if a person travels, that is a plus, or if there are those that are auditory learners that help as well. The book has twists and turns as was pointed out in this review. It keeps the reader guessing. Everything the reader thinks he or she knows, he or she does not know. The reader must keep reading the book to find the answers. The book will force the reader to produce theories. This book is not a simple story, and it is one of those stories that is very real, and it forces those to say what a bunch of horrible people in this town, but there are good people still even amongst the bad. That is life. The trick is to find the good amongst the bad. It is a tricky thing to do. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is real, and it does not affect just soldiers that go to war. It can affect anyone that goes through horrible tragedies. I personally still suffer from it after I almost died in the automobile accident that I suffered on June 9, 2005, at 4:50 p.m. I learned to live with the pain, but the pain can hit me hard at times and feel like I am in a literal nightmare. In this book, Samantha lost her family on September 8, 2001, 3 days before September 11, 2001. Time can heal, but some things seem to never leave. This is true as I have experienced this personally.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Transformers: Rise of the Beasts that is done by Paramount studios in association with Hasbro. The movie will start with the Maximals explaining how there is a god called Unicorn who is a very vengeful god and wants nothing more than to destroy other planets because he needs the life force from planets to function. I will give you my rating at the end of the review.Thank you, supporters of my channelI want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio and Ken for becoming Patrons on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wants to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio and Ken or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. You can sign up for Patreon at $5 a month, $8 a month, $10 a month, $20 a month, or as high as $30 a month. For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Rest of and rating of Transformers: Rise of the BeastsSpoiler Warning: This review may contain spoilers. If you do not want to be spoiled, please stop here, if you do not care, please continue. Thank you.The movie will deal with Unicorn and Scrouge is his servant who is devoted to him. This was true in 1986 Transformers: The Movie that had Scrouge as one of his minions, but Galvatron was one of them as well. They did not decide to make Galvatron the one who was leading Unicorn’s minions. They went with Scrouge instead. What the Terri cons will be looking for is a key. The key is the key for Unicorn to be able to go wherever he wants and do what he wants. Unicorn needs the key so that he can feast on any planet that he desires. The maximals will not let that happen.The movie will take the viewer to 1994 where the transformers known as the Autobots are looking for the key. Noah is one of the human characters who is looking to help his brother Chris who has sickle cell anemia. This means it can cause pain in your hands and it can make it hard for him to function. Chris is wearing a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers shirt which makes sense since that is the time that show came out. I watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers when I was 13 and by the time this movie was set, I would have been 14 years old depending upon the time of year it was. My birthday is in October, and I would have turned 15 that year.The Power Rangers robot Megazord could transform into a big robot like you would see in Transformers like you would see with Devastor, Bruticus, or Menasor which are the Decepticons’ combining robots. The Autobots’ combining robots were Supereon, Defensor, and Computer ion.The movie will deal with the Autobots looking for the key as they need the key to get back home. The key can travel through time and space. It can do that. It is like a space bridge. A space bridge is not an uncommon thing in transformers. It is in the original cartoon, and they mentioned in the second and third movies of the Transformers franchise.Noah will try to steal Mirage and find out that Mirage is not what he thinks. He is a car that transform which is a robot. Mirage could be angry with him, but as it is shown in this movie; Mirage is finally glad to be doing something besides staying still and hidden. Optimus Prime thinks that Mirage made a mistake. No, he does not as Noah stole him so that he can get money to help his brother Chris. Arcee tells Optimus that he was a soldier. Optimus says, “He is a soldier. He does not look like a solider.”Mirage tells Optimus that we need Noah’s help. He can help us to get what we need in terms of getting the key for us. Optimus is not sure of this, but Mirage tells him, it makes sense. It does, the Autobots cannot simply go and just get the key without getting noticed.The key will not be simple to get as the Terri cons are looking for it. Scrouge who leads the Terri cons will help Unicorn to get the key he is looking for. Scrouge will fight Optimus Prime and Optimus will wonder what this is. Scrouge lets Optimus know this is not an easy fight. Scrouge wants to help his master feed. This is no different than Gal actus having the Silver Surfer finding worlds to feed on and his service protects his world.The adventure will lead the autobots to Peru. Mirage will have Noah with Elena who is the smart archaeologist who knows where it is. She knows how to read symbols that were left where the key is hidden. As Air Razer tells the autobots and the two humans to go to help them, the key was split into two to be sure it would not fall into the hands of Unicorn.The movie will continue with the autobots on the quest to find the key as well as Scrouge and the Terri cons. It will not show the viewer that they must trust humans and in return humans must learn to trust them.It will lead to an epic battle in the quest for the key as well as in trying to defeat Unicorn. As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and set up another film in the franchise.I will give you my rating, I give Transformers: The Rise of the beasts, a 9 out of 10. It was fun, but it tells a particularly delightful story. It helped to show the viewer how dangerous Unicorn is and was faithful to what was done in the original cartoons. It had Optimus Primal who is an ape and that is what he transforms into. It was the one that is the cat. The movie does a better job with bringing the beasts who were part of the Beast Wars. The show fell short that they did back in 1990’s, but this movie does better with this. It shows that Optimus Prime did not always trust humans but learns too. Bumble Bee told Optimus Prime that a human helped him, and that human was Charlie who was played by Hailee Steinfeld. This movie was good that the humans that helped the autobots and the maximals were a Latino and the black female. It would have been great if they had Unicorn transform, but it does not take away in how good the story was in this movie compared to the other films in the Transformers franchise.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and Analyzing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse done by Sony Animation in Association with Marvel. This movie will deal with where Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse left off. In the last movie, Miguel’s Spider-Man 2099 was already coming to deal with the mess left by the collider in the last movie. Gwen Stacey will be narrating this story instead of Chris Pine’s Peter Parker that began the last movie. I will give you my rating at the end of this review.Please consider checking out my Facebook page where I have posted links to Patreon which will have the YouTube video included in the Patreon links.You want to check out my blog at this link. The blog will have the written portion of the review as well as the YouTube video included there.Another great place to know what is happening with my channel is the community section.

For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.Spoiler Alert: If you do not want to continue reading or watching, please stop here. If you do not care, then please continue watching or reading. Thank you.As was mentioned before in this review, Gwen Stacey starts off telling the story first and you get some backstory on her character of Spider-Woman. She lets the audience know what she has been through and how she has dealt with it since the last movie. She lost her best friend and boyfriend Peter Parker after he drunk a potion to become the Lizard. Peter told her he just wanted to be special like Gwen Stacey was. In some versions, Gwen Stacey is called Ghost-Spider instead of Spider-Woman. This will cause her father who is a police captain like he was to Peter Parker’s Spider-Man. His character has been in the two live action versions of Spider-Man of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man movies. In the Andrew Garfield Version, Captain Stacey dies from Spider-Man’s battle with the Lizard. Spider-Woman’s father thinks she is dangerous, and he must hunt her down and catch her. Gwen’s father blames her for Peter Parker dying. In fact, it was not her fault, Peter Parker drunk a formula that turned him into the Lizard and that is why he ended up dying. You later have Spider-Man 2099 who talks about Doctor Strange who Gwen says, “I would not want to be going to him if his last name is Strange” with the Jessica Drew’s Spider-Woman who happens to be black to help with a Vulture he looks like he came from the Renaissance era and must be stopped. They later take Gwen with them after she took her mask off to show to her father that she is not a bad guy and that she did not kill her best friend of Peter Parker.The movie will take the viewer to Miles Morales where he is trying to navigate the pillars of being a Superhero and trying to figure out what is going on with his life. He is having to navigate school and the responsibilities of being a superhero. He meets the Spot and yes, if you are asking, he is accurate to what I have seen portrayed in other versions of Spider-Man. Yes, I will sound like a broken record, but the last time The Spot has been portrayed was in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show that is currently on Disney+. He is accurate to what I remember him the be. You want to watch The Sins of the Fathers Chapter XII, and the episode is called The Spot. It will be Season 3 and you will find it there on Disney+. It was a cartoon show that came out in the years 1994 to 1997. The Spot’s real name in that series is Dr. Ohn. In that episode, he was fired by Tony Stark and gets later hired by Kingpin to help him in his quest to become the ultimate criminal. As was mentioned in this movie, he helped Kingpin build the collider. He was exactly like this in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. He helped to build a machine for Tony Stark that could travel exactly in dimensions.Dr. Ohn helped Tony Stark build the machine that could travel dimensions and Tony Stark as Iron Man had to help Spider-Man stop Venom and Carnage from using the machine for Baron Modro to help bring Dorth Manu to our dimension. This would have been the two episodes before the Spot appeared in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show.As I would have mentioned he helped to build the collider for Kingpin and that is what brings the spider from Earth 42 which ends up biting Miles Morales in his Earth of Earth 1610, if I remember that correctly. The Spot does not want to be the villain of the week; he wants to be the ultimate villain. Spot wants to be strong enough to destroy the Miles Morales Spider-Man. This is his goal. Miles realizes that he must stop him from doing this.Miles misses Gwen Stacey, and he realizes he wishes she and he could be together. Gwen comes back to see him and tells him that they need to stop what is happening to the Multiverse. She tells him to stay strong and that she misses him. She tells him that she must go and that she will see him later. She had to deal with the Spot. Gwen will say goodbye to Miles.Miles will follow her, and they both end up in the universe of the Indian Spider-Man in Mumbai, India. That spider-man tells the audience that they drink Chai tea which is an actual tea that they drink in India. I have had Chai tea; it is surprisingly good. Miles Morales makes a critical error in saving the Indian Spider-Man’s girlfriend’s father who was supposed to die. He is a police captain like in the other versions of Spider-Man.The movie will take the viewer to Miguel’s headquarters in Nueva York in 2099. Instead of being called New York, his city is called Nueva York. Nueva is Spanish for New. This is where there will be the chase of Miles Morales escaping the spider-men and spider-women that are coming after him. Miles learns something bad will happen, and he wants to prevent it from happening.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and set up another movie in this series.I will now give you, my rating. I give Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, a 10 out 10. It was fun but tells an exceptionally relevant story. It keeps the viewer entertained and engaged. The viewer has no idea that he or she has been sitting watching this movie for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The viewer is left wanting more and wanting the answers to be sought out right away instead of having to wait. It does well to make the viewer want more. The movie has references to Lego Spider-Man as well as crossing in the live action versions of the character of Spider-Man. This crossing with animation to live action is what these two directors have done before. They have done it in the first 2 Lego movies. That had Elizabeth Banks and Chris Pratt in the two movies. It was cool to see this done in this movie. What did you think of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse? Did you like it or not? Please leave your rating in the comment section below. Please use a 10 out of 10 rating system like I do. For example, you could say I gave it an 8 out of 10 rating.

IntroductionHello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. I know that Disney and ABC extended Jimmy Kimmel’s contract, so reviewing this film on Disney+ is not a problem as they did the right thing. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the Christmas movie Joy to the World that is currently on Disney+. Joy Edwards is a successful author who has written the successful book series about her fictional life about her make-believe family. She claims to be married to a guy named Max and has kids named Tommy and Torrie. People will believe that this is her life. I will explain more in this review. If you are watching the video or listening to the audio of this podcast, I will leave the link to watch the trailer of the movie in the description below. There will be no images as they are hard to find on the internet in the video version of this episode. I hope this episode inspires you to read, watch, and learn. Thank you.How to support me and follow mePlease consider going to my Substack and Patreon to help support me.

Thank you.Rest of Review and rating of Joy to The World Christmas movieBefore I continue with the analysis of this review, here is the trailer for the movie.Joy Edwards is portrayed by Emmanuelle Chriqui who creates this fictional family as mentioned before in this review. She decides that she is tired and doesn’t want to keep having to pretend that she lives the perfect life. The book series is called Christmas on Goose Lane. She tells the host of the talk show played by Ayesha Curry whose name is Liza Brown, that the secret to being happy is having a husband that loves you. You want a man that loves you and messes up your lipstick not your mascara as she tells the ladies. That makes sense, it means he is kissing you not making you cry for the women of this audience.Chad Michael Murray plays Max her best friend and the love of her life. As Sabrina says in the trailer you two will have great online chemistry., who ends up playing her fictional daughter Torrie. Sabrina’s actual brother Hank will portray her older brother Tommy, who is supposed to be 13 while Hank’s real age is 15. Hank who wants to be called Hawk, since he was found skateboarding near Joy Edwards house and he gets on her for doing it. The irony is that when they are all doing this, it ironically helps them all to see what is important.Joy Edwards’ maid Marta will pretend to be her mother in this fictional family, and she will tell Joy, I am too young to be your mother. Joy tells her that you had me when you were young. What this means is as a teenager or young adult.Joy Edwards will ask Freddie to pretend to be her father, and he is the mail man. He and Marta get close, and Freddie knows his zip codes. You can see the chemistry between Marta and Freddie.Joy Edwards Agent Josh, who is portrayed by Farid Yazdani, tells Joy Edwards that you live a great life. Joy tells him, I want a life not a pretend life. He later tells her that it was Merriman’s idea for the TV show that is hosted by Liza to visit her on Goose Lane.Merriman, who is portrayed by Daniel Kash, wants to go out with a bang if she is not going to write any more books on Christmas on Goose Lane. She is shocked to find this out from Josh, but she must come up with a plan to save face.This being a romantic comedy that is Christmas themed, you could not expect it to be without problems. It needs conflict. That will mean something that could derail fantasy from the viewer’s and reader’s minds.Joy Edwards will come up with a pretend chicken coop pretending to have fresh eggs. She will start to get closer to her pretend husband of Max portrayed by Chad Michael Murray. As Sabrina, who pretends to be Torrie, tells them, you have great chemistry.Hank her brother will claim if he was Max; he would tell a girl if he liked her. As Sabrina tells her brother, you don’t. You hadn’t even told a girl that you like her at all.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of this story.I will give you, my rating. I give Joy to the World, a 10 out of 10. It is a wonderful story and helps the viewer understand the needs of the heart. Yes, Joy Edwards creates this fictional life, but she helps people to open their eyes and their hearts. Personally, it does well with Max being more than just a friend. He stays in her pool house and Max is a talented artist. He is a great painter. Joy Edwards tells him; you want to get into the best artist gallery. Max is not wanting to settle for the second best in his life either. He wants to be with Joy Edwards as the film will show. He is with her for a reason. She knows that she has feelings for him but is afraid of exercising them. Merriman tells her in the movie that life is a risk, whether it is professional or personal. You need to take the risk and go for it. It is hard for each person to take risks. This movie hits you with heart knowledge and that is important.Please check these reviews and help support mePlease watch my review of By God’s Grace right here.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and Analyzing Hide: Detective Harriett Foster Book 1 and it is written by Tracy Clark. It is a mystery and there are a lot of twists and turns. It starts with the murder of Peggy Birch as one of the first victims found in a string of serial killings. She is just one victim of many that the killer decides to go after. It starts a horrible history of this going back several years. This killer or family of killers have been killing for several decades. What the reader thinks he or she knows, he or she does not. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode.Please consider checking out my Facebook page where I have been posting links to YouTube and Patreon.

Now on with the review.The murder of Peggy Birch starts this book off and she is covered in leaves. There are several suspects in this story. Detective Harriet Foster is partnering with Lonergan. Lonergan is not the easiest person to work with. He is hard, arrogant, and one of those that thinks he knows everything. He wants to crack some eggs. In his opinion, you must crack some eggs if you want to make an omelet.One of the first suspects is Keith Ainsley. It would make sense as if he was there covered in blood and passed out. He would be an obvious choice. He calls his parents who happen to be Attorneys and points out to the police that you need more evidence to hold him.It keeps circling back to Keith Ainsley, but he can point out that he was playing video games on his computer when a second victim shows up. The killer likes choosing women that have red hair, but one of the victims was wearing a red wig and she happened to have blonde hair.The one thing the reader will find consistent in this book is that the killers are one family called Morgans. The father has been killing for years and has been training his kids in hopes one of them will take up his mantle of killing. It is no different than making a monarchy of killing. He is hoping that one of them will become the next king or queen of killers. It is sick, but once the reader reads this, this will make sense to why this is.There is a Doctor of Psychology named Dr. Marianna Silva. She is a psychologist, and she wants to find a person named Bodie Morgan. She lets the detectives Foster and Li know that he is their guy, or she thinks. She wants to get him back in treatment in hopes that she finds her path back to glory. She was sent to West Haven, which was a downgrade of where she used to be. She is used to being in prestigious psychiatric hospitals, not this one.Detective Foster and Li are paired up with each other after Foster could not get along with Lonergan. She and Li were paired by Griffin, who paired Foster and Lonergan together at the start of this story. They do work well together. They have better chemistry than when Foster worked with Lonergan. Foster wants to try to figure out why this person is doing this and why this person is hiding his or her victims. There must be something there. This is what Foster and Li hope to find as the CPD is getting pressure to get this done. This story takes place in Chicago, Illinois.Before that the police thought that Peggy Birch was killed by her boyfriend, or one of the students that she was going to college with. This would make sense, but the other victims do not have a connection to Peggy Birch, so this rules them out. Harriet Foster knows she needs to figure out what the breadcrumbs mean even if it does not make sense. It is not pointing at her in the right direction.The killer who is doing these killings is not picking these women because the killer knows them personally. The killer is picking them that is mentioned in this review so far, it is because they have red hair expect for the one that was wearing a red wig who happened to blonde. It was what threw the killer off. It was a misdirect for the killer.The killer’s reasoning for choosing women that had red hair is because it is rare. There are not that many red heads out there. The killer did not want to choose the most obvious choice of blonde or brunettes.The other detectives are Symanksy and Bigelow. Symanski is an older detective that tells Bigelow, you do not stop having sex once you get the AARP card in the mail. This makes sense as just because a person may be beyond procreating does not mean a person cannot enjoy sex still. Bigelow ends up paired with Lonergan. Bigelow was paired with Li at the beginning of the book.There is a man named Tom Morgan who the reader will believe to be the killer of these women. He is the one that is sadistic and hopes to scare or inspire his kids to follow him. This is his way of controlling them and hoping he can bring them back into the fray. His kids’ names are Bodie and Amelia Morgan. There is more than meeting the eye that is going on here than one would think.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax of this book and set up the next book.I will give you, my rating. I give Hide: Detective Foster Book 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, but it was very complex. It helped the reader to understand how this family had been killing for years. The Father, whose name is Tom Morgan, had been training his kids for years and wanted them to follow in his footsteps. He prefers one over the other. It is not uncommon for a parent to have a favorite. Harriet Foster will have lost her son when he was gun downed in a drive by shooting. She lost her partner Glynnis to suicide. She killed herself due to the stress of being a cop. Cops deal with a lot of stress, and it is not uncommon for that stress to get to them. Attorneys can have substance abuse problems. The stress of the job will cause them to start drinking or going to take pills to get away from the stress. Life can hit any person hard. It is a matter of how one deals with it that matters. Is that person going to struggle through it or let those problems knock that person down? It is up to that person to decide how one handles it. Detective Foster still struggles with her pain but fights through it. This will show in this story how tough she is. This makes her a character a person can relate to as well as cheer for. The killers remind the reader of super villains in comic books as the father wanted to target Li’s family and hurt the detectives that way. That is exactly what super villains do in comic books. This book is worth reading and it comes with an audio version which will help if a person travels. That is a plus, and if you are an auditory learner, this will help you. Who is the actual killer?

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. In this episode of Mattacritic, I will be reviewing Peter Pan and Wendy that is currently on Disney+. This movie will deal with a retelling of the original 1953 classic cartoon of Peter Pan. There will be similarities to that cartoon, but there are differences told in this movie as well. The movie still has the feel, but it tells the story differently than the original movie that came out in 1953. This movie is live action which will make it different to the 1953 cartoon. I will make comparisons to that movie as well as say which version is better. I will give you my rating of both movies at the end of the review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.Please check out my Facebook page where I have been posting links to Patreon and YouTube. I have been posting links to my blog that you want to check out at this link.

For YouTube memberships, you can sign up at $3.99 a month, $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month, and you can go as high as $49.99 a month. Thank you. Now on with the review.As I mentioned before in this review, Peter Pan and Wendy will have some similarities to the original cartoon movie that came out in 1953. The original cartoon that came out in 1953 was Rated G, but this movie that came out this year in 2023 was rated PG. The movie starts off with the 2 brothers to Wendy Maura Angela Darling whose names are John and Michael playing their game with them pretending to be Hook and Peter Pan. Like in the original John was playing Captain Hook and Michael was playing Peter Pan. Wendy was getting ready to go to boarding school which is different from the original. In the original, the father wants Wendy to get out of the nursery. As he said, it was time for her to get out of the nursery. Wendy joins in the game and at the end of the sword fight, she knocks John’s sword by accident to break the mirror. The father is upset and tells Wendy, “Is this type of fun you should be having.” He takes their swords and John’s hat. The father has Nanna did like in the original movie did and put her outside right where her doghouse would be.Wendy tells her mother that she does want to grow up after her mother told her that her brothers look up to her. She does not want to go to boarding school. She rather have things stay as they are. Her mother tells her, “Think of things you will miss out on if you are not here to do them. Think about what the world misses out, if you are not here to do them”. Her mother sings her and her brothers a lullaby to help get them to go to sleep. This was different than the original as her mother does not sing a lullaby to help Wendy to get to go to sleep. Wendy knew the story of Peter Pan in the original and told John and Michael. Her mother knows the story of Peter Pan in this one and tells them it.Peter Pan will come to them like in the original, but in this version, Tinkerbell was putting pixie dust on Wendy to help her to fly while Wendy was asleep. John catches Tinkerbell and Michael tells Wendy that a little bug was helping you to fly. Wendy lets Michael know that it is not a bug. Peter Pan has the sword come on John’s shoulder and lets them know that she is a fairy, not a bug. Peter tells them that, “Fairies do not like being called bugs”. Like in the original, Peter Pan is looking for his shadow, but Wendy knew where it was. She does not know where it is in this one. It is in a drawer and Peter Pan is chasing it trying to get it back. He gets it as it is on a stair. Wendy helps Peter to sew the shadow back on like in the original. Tinkerbell is unsure of this, but Peter lets her know that it will be okay as he knows that Wendy would never try to hurt him. Wendy accidentally stabs Peter in his foot to help get his shadow back to him unlike in the original. This would make sense as if a person were sewing something like that it would do that. The cartoon did not do this, which defies logic.Wendy gives Peter a kiss which she gives him a thumbing needle. This covers your thumb so you will not accidentally stab it while sewing. A lot of the versions of Peter Pan do this, where they say a kiss is this like in Hook which starred the late Robin Williams as an adult Peter Pan. Anyone knows a kiss is where a person has their lips go on someone else’s body. It does not have to be on another person’s lips, it can be on top of the head for example.Peter Pan will take Wendy, John, and Michael to Neverland. He will have Tinkerbell give them some pixie dust. The trick to flying is you must have happy thoughts and pixie dust to do it. This is true in Hook as well as Tinker Bell who was played by Julia Roberts told Peter Pan not to lose his happy thought when he realized the greatest day in his life was becoming a daddy. He realized that being a father was good and this helped him not to be focused on work like Ebenezer Scrooge was in Christmas Carol.They get to Neverland and like the original one in 1953, Hook blasts them out of the sky with Cannon balls. The difference here is that Hook blasts them to the ground and Wendy lands in the water and washes up to shore. She has Peter Pan’s hat, and she is looking for Peter, Tinkerbell, John, and Michael. She fears the worst, which is understandable. Any one of us would do that. She meets the lost boys with Tiger Lilly. In the original, Tiger Lilly was taken by Captain Hook and taken to Skull Rock. Back then in 1953, movies made females into damsels in distress and needed males to rescue them. It was sexist to say the least, but understandable. Majority of Audiences today want strong female characters and that is what is shown in this depiction of Peter Pan that came out in 2023. This would be the 70th anniversary of the 1953 film.They would go to Skull Rock and must attempt to rescue John and Michael who had been taken there in hopes of luring Peter Pan to them. Captain Hook has John and Michael chained up to the rock in the cave. Peter Pan is dressed in pirate clothing. He suddenly had the pirates sing only (no one but) children in neverland after the pirates were singing no children in neverland. Captain Hook has them stop singing when he realizes what they were singing. The pirates remove Peter Pan’s fake beard, and they start fighting. Tiger Lilly and Wendy go to rescue John and Michael. They get them free with the help of Tinkerbell. They later escape with Peter after the crocodile was attacking Hook and his men.Wendy later slaps Peter as she is frustrated with him, which is different than the original. Back in 1953, a female would never have dared to slap a male like that. This is where it is different, Wendy tells Peter Pan, you have a magical fairy that helps you to fly. Peter can claim all he wants that he needs no help, but that is not true. Every person needs help now and then. That is true of every human being, no matter where that person is in his or her life.What is different is that this movie goes into explaining the complex nature of Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Captain Hook was not always Captain Hook. In the 1953 version, it just has the audience believe that Captain Hook and Peter Pan were always enemies and there was not a reason to why that was. This version has the audience understand that Peter Pan and Captain Hook used to be friends before they became enemies. This is common, think of other stories such as Star Wars where Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader used to be friends before they became enemies. That is true in Spider-Man where Peter Parker and Harry Osborne where best friends before they became enemies. It is a more common storyline that is realistic. Each person has had someone that used to be his or her best friend before there was a falling out.In the 1953 version, Hook had Smee take Tinkerbell as Tinkerbell was jealous of Wendy. Hook tricks Tinkerbell into believing he would help get rid of Wendy. This was not uncommon back then, to have a female character being the jealous lovesick female looking to stab someone in the back. In the 2023 version, they decide not to go that route.In the 1953 version, Hook tries to blow Peter Pan up and Tinkerbell rescues him. In the 2023 version, Captain Hook has his men find Peter Pan’s hideout with Wendy singing and that led him back there. He goes up and he knows Peter is hiding. Hook swings his sword, and it cuts Peter across the chest. It would appear Peter is dead, but he is not.Peter Pan later needs help from Tiger Lilly which was different than the original. She helps him and this makes this better. The other version basically makes Peter Pan unbeatable and that is not realistic.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and set up another movie if the studio chooses.I will give you my rating for both. The 1953 version of Peter Pan, I give that movie a 7 out of 10. That movie was making Peter Pan into a hero that was unbelievable and unbeatable is incredible and incomprehensible. It has good parts, but it makes Native Americans seem like they do not know how to talk and Hook and Smee are not imposing enough in the 1953 version. The 2023, I give that version, a 10 out of 10. This version helps to understand the complex nature of Peter Pan and Captain Hook. It helps the audience in how they met in the first place in that Hook’s real name is James and is Peter Pan’s first lost boy and was his best friend. Peter, James, and John have something in common biblically. There was part of the 12 disciples, and they were part of the Jesus’ closest three. There were 3 that were close to Jesus, and they were it. The 2023 version helps the viewer to understand how Hook met Smee, and the other version does not explain that story unlike in the 2023 version. The pirates look more realistic in the 2023 version and the songs they sing are songs that I heard personally sung at a renaissance festival. I saw an act called Pirate Shanty man and Bonnie Lass and that act had songs sung like that as they did in the 2023 version of Peter Pan. This is what makes the 2023 version better than the 1953 in so many ways. Females are tougher in this movie and do not need a male to rescue them. It shows that it is okay to get help, and that is a good lesson for each person to learn no matter where he or she is his or her life.Please go to this link and check out my website and you will find links to other sites such as PayPal, Patreon, Facebook TikTok, and YouTube.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacrtic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 which is currently in theaters. This review will deal with the High Evolutionary as the villain of this story and Rocket the Raccoon’s origin. It will make sense to how Rocket the Raccoon came to being. Unless he was an alien from another planet which had Raccoons as a race, he had to be created by someone. This someone is the High Evolutionary. A good reference will be Spider-Man: Unlimited which mentions the High Evolutionary and Counter Earth. I will give you my rating at the end of the review.Please check out my Facebook page where I have been posting links to Patreon and YouTube. I have also been posting links to my blog that you want to check out. The link to my blog is this link.

Now on with the review.Before I start this review, spoiler warning, if you do not want to know anymore, please stop here, if not please continue watching this video or reading this blog if you are reading this blog on my website. Thank you.As was mentioned earlier in this review, the High Evolutionary is the villain of this story. He wants to create a perfect society. He experiments on animals in hopes to create this perfect society. He is obsessed with doing this. He wants nothing more than to do this.Peter Quill a.k.a. Star Lord is not in a good state. After losing Gamora to Thanos in Infinity War, she comes back from a past version who was still serving Thanos. She is working for the Ravagers. Sylvester Stallone plays the leader of the Ravagers. They are thieves, but they have a code. They do not condone killing of any person as was mentioned in the last Guardians of the Galaxy movie.Peter Quill is drunk in the beginning of the film, and he has a hard time dealing with the past. He feels like a failure, but he feels unloved and unlucky. He feels he is cursed and wonders what life is doing. Rocket gets attacked by Adam Warlock who is working with the High Evolutionary. Adam works for the gold people and is played by Will Poulter. He is a good actor who has been in the Dopesick series which I reviewed for this channel. He played a sales rep in that series that was selling what Michael Keaton’s character called poison. That is what OxyContin is. It is poison and Meth is no different as an animal was selling Meth to another animal. They were also created by the High Evolutionary. The High Evolutionary wants Rocket no matter what.The reason for the animals is he is hoping to make the jump to humans. If he can create humans not to be violent, he would be successful in creating this perfect society. He thinks he can, but when people or animals get intelligence, they will form their own thoughts and feelings. They will do what they want and not care what may happen. There is a price to giving free will as has been shown here in this world.Rocket held the key to what the High Evolutionary was looking for. He wanted to cut out Rocket’s brain and put it in his mind. This makes sense that Rocket is smart. He could understand things about Thanos and the infinity stones. He helps in building the time machine with the Avengers in Avengers: End Game. He helped Thor deal with his problems and was able to get the infinity stone they needed to defeat Thanos.Rocket was seriously injured, and the Guardians are going to have to get the code from one of the High Evolutionary scientists. He has the code in his head. The place on the head works as a disk drive and it can store information like codes and answers. You even see that type of design on the High Evolutionary head as well.The Guardians will have to steal it from the High Evolutionary, and this will be difficult to say the least as they must break in a building that is in space and spacesuits, they wear are realistic as the cold of space and that there is no oxygen would kill them. This will lead them to Counter Earth. He wanted to create a planet like Earth. It will have animals ruling it and a good reference to the High Evolutionary is Spider-Man: Unlimited that is on Disney+. The series had one season. That series showed the High Evolutionary creating animals to run the planet and this is exactly what happens in this film. They mention counter Earth in that series as well and it was created by the High Evolutionary. What happened in that series is that Spider-Man follows Venom and Carnage to Counter Earth in hopes to rescue John Jameson. He would meet those like Lord Tiger and the animals would show intelligence and the ability to walk like humans do.The High Evolutionary sees himself as God and wants to do what God does. He thinks he can do better and believes there is no god but him. He is insane, but smart. This makes him dangerous in that way. You had one of the animals selling Meth to another one and another was beating them up just to get money that was owed to him.As not be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the viewer to the climax of the movie and set up another movie in the MCU.I will give you, my rating. I give Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but shows the dangers of a mad scientist who wants to play God. There must be a sense of ethics or there will be those that are out of control that think they know more than they do. It does an excellent job tying to the last few movies in the MCU such as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game and helps make the second Guardians movie better. It helps to understand Quill’s pain as well as what happened to Rocket. It makes sense that Quill would be hurting after what happened to him. He steps up in this movie along with Groot. Groot is a good fighter, and he can hide weapons as was shown in this movie. Nebula shows she is a good person, and even though she served Thanos, works hard to save Rocket. Gamora comes through as well. Drax and Mantis are funny in this film and that is a plus. Drax shows humanity that those would not have thought he had. That is good to see, and humor is always good and never hurts.Start writing today.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Disney’s Prom Pact that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. This movie is about Mandy Yang wanting to get into Harvard. She will make a prom proposal to her best friend Ben and ask him to prom. Ben will accept and they will go to Prom. Later in the movie, she finds out that she has been waitlisted. This will devastate her, and she will think it is over. Ben will encourage her to find a way. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. I will give you my rating at the end of the review.Please consider checking out my Facebook page where I have been posting links to my blog that you want to check out. The link to my blog is this link. The blog will have the written portion of the review as well as the YouTube video being included there as well. Thank you.I want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps and to Antonio for becoming a Patron on my Patreon page. It is not the amount or possibly how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wanting to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon like Antonio or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. Thank you. Now on with the review.The movie starts off with Mandy Elizabeth Yang which is her full name outside the pep rally not wanting to attend because she thinks it is pointless. She is played by Peyton Elizabeth Lee who has been in the Secret Society of Second Born Royals which I have reviewed. I love watching her as she commands the scene and is one of those actors that you have got to watch out for. The guidance counselor is named Ms. Cheng. She is played by Margaret Cho. She does an excellent job of portraying this character. Ms. Cheng tells Mandy that she cannot steal from the lost and found to donate stuff unless she is donating something of hers. She pours the contents back in the lost and found. Mandy later gets forced to attend the pep rally.During the pep rally one of the prom proposals was from the ghostbusters and it had the feel of original ghostbuster back in 1984. The theme of the prom was the 1980’s which is announced by LaToya Reynolds who Ben Plunkett has a crush on. The cheerleader named Jodie thought she was getting asked by Graham Lansing to the prom instead of her boyfriend, Owen. Owen happens to be Graham Lansing’s best friend.After the pep rally, Mandy goes to Ms. Cheng and asks her if she has heard from Harvard yet. Ms. Cheng tells Mandy, not yet. Ms. Cheng phone rings and she is pretending to talk to Harvard. It is a joke, but Mandy cannot see it because she is so tightly wand. Mandy wants to go there because that is where her hero Ingrid Downs is a professor at. Mandy wants to help people and knows that Dr. Ingrid Downs teaches a class on global poverty and wants to change the world for the better.Ben and Mandy are arguing about 1980’s movies and Mandy tells him name one movie that is not totally sexist from the 1980’s. Mandy basically takes Ben to school on that and tells him there is no 1980’s movie that you cannot name that is not totally sexist.Ben and Mandy will later meet at their favorite restaurant, and this is after Ben picks up Mandy. Before he picked up Mandy when he was at the Grocery store doing his job as a cashier, he was made fun of by Kyle and Graham Lansing for not being a real senior. Ben listens to Imagine dragons, and it helps him let out his frustrations that Mandy plays for him in his car. Mandy reminds Ben, what high school experience? We know the truth; our lives will begin when we get out of high school and make a real difference. This is where Mandy will ask Ben to go to Prom with her. She writes it in Ketchup on a piece of paper that is provided by the restaurant. Ben thinks it is a joke, but Mandy tells him it is not a joke. Ben accepts her proposal and will go with her to Prom.Ben and Mandy are in the school parking lot, which is the Monday after Mandy asks Ben to Prom. Mandy tells Ben to turn off the radio. Ben tells her, you always say it is important to help support the businesses that help to support NPR. This is where Mandy finds out that she is waitlisted and that she feels that it is over. Ben tells her it is not over; you will figure it out like you always do.Mandy will see Ms. Cheng and she will later after that conversation think that she needs to get Graham Lansing’s dad to write a recommendation later to help get her to Harvard. Ms. Cheng tells Mandy that your best bet is a teacher that knows you and gets you into Harvard.Mandy tells Ben, this is the plan that I have come up with. Ben agrees with this after some doubt at first.Mandy will encounter Graham Lansing at the party, and she later will meet him at the garden that the basketball team was supposed to help to build. Mandy tells Graham that she will help tutor him with his psychology class. Graham wonders if there is a catch but agrees to let her tutor him. Ben encountered LaToya Reynolds at the party.Mandy helps Graham by using basketball to help him with his AP Psychology course. He will later show her how to shoot using BEEF, which is an acronym for balance, eyes, elbows and follow through. This is used to help someone shoot a free throw.The movie will later have Mandy developing feelings for Graham Lansing and this will show when she is at his father’s fundraiser when she is dancing with him. She thought him to be a neanderthal, but later discovers him to be more than meets the eye. He helps coach kids at the recreation center. This center helps kids that are troubled and need some help to be able to get ahead in life. Mandy will later realize that she cannot keep making Harvard the only thing that is important. She realizes that her friendship with Ben is important, but she realizes that she loves Graham Lansing after getting to know him.Ben and LaToya Reynolds hit it off and they have a lot more common than one would think. All the prom proposals have references from 1980’s movies. This one is from the Breakfast club with guy on the radio of the car. Mandy is wearing this dress asking Ben to prom again. I am not sure what movie it comes from; I think it is breakfast club.As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. The movie does bring the viewer to the climax of the story.Start writing today. Use the button below to create a Substack of your ownI will you give you, my rating. I give the Prom Pact, a 10 out 10. It was fun but helps the viewer to understand Mandy Yang’s motives. As was mentioned earlier in this review, Mandy believed that Harvard was the only thing that was important. She found out there are other things that are important to her. She realizes that her best friend Ben Plunkett is important to her and realizes that Graham Lansing is important to her. She fell in love with Graham in the film and discovers that she can keep her goals, but it is okay to have fun and have those that you love as well. It is easy to fall into that trap and make goals the only that is important. You need to do BEEF. BEEF is an acronym which means Balance, Eyes, Elbow, and Follow Through. BEEF is what is used to help someone learn how to shoot a free throw. This is something that Graham Lansing taught her. It helped Mandy Yang to get her life back into balance. This is a good lesson that the movie teaches, and it is an important lesson to learn. This is a good lesson no matter where anyone is in his or her life.Please go to this link and check out my website and you will find links to other sites such as PayPal, Patreon, Facebook TikTok, and YouTube.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the Watchful Eye which is done by Freeform but can be watched on Hulu. What this show does is that has a young woman named Elena Santos who is working with a NYPD detective named Scott where they are trying to find a ruby hidden in the Grayborne. They are hoping to find this ruby so they can hurt the Graybornes for what they did to them. They both get hurt and they are looking for revenge. This makes sense as both Freeform and Hulu are owned by Disney. I will explain later in this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. I will give you my rating at the end of this review.Please consider checking out my Facebook page where I have been posting the links to YouTube and Patreon. I also have been posting links to my blog that you want to check out at this link. The blog will have the written portion of the review as well as the YouTube video being included there as well. Thank you.As I would have told you in my last video or blog post, I need some help to pay for some bills as my laptop’s hard drive died and had to get a new one. Please consider supporting me in any way you can. You can go to this link do just that and pay for some merchandise or hit the PayPal donation tab in the right corner of the website. You can also help me by becoming a Patron on Patreon Page or signing up for YouTube memberships. All of that will be a great help. Thank you.I also want to thank Jessica of Detroit, Michigan for helping to support the channel by buying a shirt that helps. It is not the amount or possibly how much I may make, it is the idea that someone believes in what this channel is about and wanting to support it. Please help and be like Jessica in buying any merchandise from my website or signing up for Patreon or YouTube memberships. You will say to me that you believe in this channel, and you want it to thrive and to keep it independent. Thank you. Now on with the review.The series begins off with there being the death of Alice Greyborne Ward. It was believed that she committed suicide. Eleana Santos tells Scott that it is sad that Jasper lost his mother. Scott tells her, he can always buy a new mommy. It is sad, but unfortunately things like this happen. Elena applies to be Jasper’s nanny while doing just that is looking for this ruby that is supposed to be hidden in the Greyborne. It is believed that this ruby is a jewel. That is what the viewer believes when watching this series.Elena must deal with some challenges. She is asked by Torrey to do a drug test by peeing in a cup. Elena gets one of the other nannies to help her so that she is not as likely to fail the test. She knew that she smoked a joint that one of the other tenants left her. She felt like she was having visions. She was seeing the old nanny named Joslyn who worked at the Greyborne and was killed later. It was believed that she committed suicide, but appearances can be deceiving.Elena meets Darcy and Bennett, and they are important to the story of this season as the viewer will learn. Elena will meet Elliot and he will be important to the story as well.Joslyn was helping Elena understand her story and what took place. Joslyn’s story goes back to the 1940’s when she immigrated from Ireland. You can hear the Irish accent when she talks. She is a beautiful woman who ends of getting involved with Alistar Greyborne. She ends up pregnant with his child. This is not unusual when it comes to the rich and powerful. They will have affairs with other women like this person did with his nanny that takes care of the children.Elena is asked by Charlotte Greyborn Ivey to be her watchful eye. Yes, this is the title being used in this phrase. Charlotte believes that Matthew Ward killed Alice and that Elena needs to investigate it for her. Charlotte told Elena that she would keep her secret of being a con artist, if she helped her. Charlotte told her it is called a Quid Por Quo. The word is Latin as what Charlotte tells Elena. As the viewer finds out as the season progresses, there is more to Charlotte than meets the eye.Elena spends time with Matthew Ward and tells Charlotte Greyborne Ivey that this man had nothing to do with murdering his wife of Alice Greyborne Ward. Matthew tells Elena that he wants nothing to do with this family anymore and rather just go back to Indiana. As good as money is, it can change you if you are not careful. Sometimes it is better to be penniless and broke. Yes, you may have to worry about paying bills, but you are happier in the long run. No, money is not bad, but it is how you use it and how you live while having it.The story has twists and turns. Elena has a mother who went to prison. The viewer finds out that she is a piece of work. She wants Elena to have her get her out of prison. Elena’s mother will use anything that she can just to get out of prison.As Elena tells one of the nannies is that her father was killed by the Greybornes and they must pay for what they did. That nanny will go to the NYPD detective named Scott who is part of the con with Elena Santos. The nanny wonder what her relationship with the door man is. He is her best friend, and she had known him for most of her life.The door man named Roman that Elena has working the front desk is supposed to help her with finding what is the significance of the ruby. As the viewer will find out, the ruby is not a jewel, but a person. If you know what that person is, please leave your answer in the comment section below. Thank you.Start writing today. Use the button below to create a Substack of your ownElena has her brother in a private school. Elena’s brother’s name is Theo. Theo wonders what he is doing there. Elena tells him, be patient. Theo wants to see his mother, but Elena tells Theo, you cannot trust her. She will hurt you as she is a user and wants to get what she wants. Elena’s mother will undercut anyone just to get what she wants.I will give you, my rating. I give The Watchful Eye Season 1, a 10 out of 10. It was fun, but it shows the nature of what the rich will do. It also shows how money is made and that coverups and murder happen. It shows how the rich are corrupt and they believe that they are above the law and will do anything to keep their money. It is important to maintain the lie. Joslyn wants to save her child as why her ghost keeps showing up. She wants to save her child’s soul, but that child would rather keep living the lie, and pretend she is someone else even if that is not the case. The story is not simple and the way they ended this season, there will be season 2. What happened at the end of season 1? If you know the answer, please leave your answer in the comment section below.
