The Boys Season 4 | Review by: Stefano Bove

After the intense finale from season 3, The Boys pick up the pieces and regroup with their new friends at the CIA. With Victoria Newman in the Vice-President seat and Homelander on trial for murder, The team has their hands full; the clock is ticking, and the stakes have never been higher.

The V abuse has caught up to Butcher and his health is on a dramatic decline but that is not stopping him from trying to achieve his goals, even if he is being sidelined by The Boys. With the help of an old friend, Kessler (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) he is doing whatever he can to protect Ryan. Fans of Supernatural will be happy to see another alum in action as he brings his usual charm that viewers know and love to The Boys universe.

The deep, black Noir and A-Train have always had the least amount of screen time and character development each season but thankfully this season really pushes them all in new directions.

Homelander is dealing with his trial but that is not stopping him from plotting for the future as he brings on two new members to the 7 to fill the gaps. Sister Sage (Susan Heyward) and Firecracker (Valorie Curry) are both amazing additions to the season and each add a unique dynamic to the team. Most of the past 7 team members have been physical threats but Sister Sage being the worlds smartest person allows Homelander to finally get the upper hand on his enemies.

One of the main aspects of The Boys that separates it from any other show on television, is it’s political satire. Firecracker may not be strong but she comes armed with enough deep state conspiracies that would make even Alex Jones laugh.

What is now the penultimate season for the series, season four brings all of the action, raunchiness and bloodshed that fans want to see. The show may be slightly formulaic at times but that does not mean you Cu**S won’t enjoy the season. Season four has some of the wildest kills, amazing cgi and of course, the funniest uses of the word Cu** probably to date.

The first 3 episodes of season 4 air on June 13th.

4/5

Boss Level Film Review

Boss Level is a new addition to the time loop genre, with a twist. Ex-special forces officer, Roy Pulver, played by Frank Grillo, relives the same day until he dies. Every day he is hunted by assassins and when killed, he wakes up back in his bed where he started, only to have to try and survive all over again. Roy has no idea why he is stuck in this infinite time loop but he must do what he can to survive, and the longer he survives, the more he uncovers about his particular situation. Unlike most action films that take time to build up, this film gets right into it and offers tons of non-stop combat sequences that would satisfy any lover of action films. Its erratic flow makes for some fun action scenes which come out of nowhere since Roy can expect the assassins to attack at any moment. If you play video games often and have ever been stuck on a level for hours or even days, you know the feeling of having to repeat the same thing over and over again u...

Godzilla vs. Kong Film Review

Godzilla versus Kong is the action movie we have been longing for since all major blockbuster films pushed back their release dates. After three solo films between Kong and Godzilla, we finally see the two titans clash on film for the first time in what is the culmination of the Universal Monsterverse. The story is split nicely in two as team Kong and team Godzilla each have their own mission. Team Kong is on a secret mission to the center of the earth to uncover the mystery of the titans. This team consists of Dr. Nathan, Dr. Ilene, Maia, and the Youngest character in the film, Jia. Team Godzilla consists of Madison, Josh, and Bernie who are also on a secret mission, to infiltrate Apex Cybernetics with the theory that they are up to no good and are the reason why Godzilla has been acting up recently. The dynamics of the teams are well balanced as the Kong story provides us with serious and more action-heavy bits in contrast to the Apex team story that ...

5Lb of Pressure | Review by: Gaius Bolling

5lbs of Pressure doesn't add anything new to the crime thriller genre but that's not to be meant as a detriment. By hitting on familiar beats, with the help of top-notch performances, writer/director Phil Allocco taps into what makes these films work. This is a tale of redemption and how being a product of your environment can shape you for better or worse. It's a story told across many films but that doesn't mean that Allocco's lens isn't still profoundly tragic and gripping. It's the sense of familiarity that makes the film work and as it reaches its tension-filled climax, anxiety hits a high hoping that the characters won't end up in an all too familiar outcome. Seeking redemption is Adam (Luke Evans). He's an ex-con, now sober, who is finishing his last month of probation for committing a crime that will continue to have a ripple effect through his life, even though he would like to leave it behind. He's attempting to forge a relationship w...
