Review: Still Star-Crossed....

ABC's newest offering, "Still Star-Crossed" is a lavishly presented tale of the aftermath created by the deaths of the doomed couple "Romeo & Juliet". 'Fair Verona' is in crisis for the stabilizing presence of 'The Prince' is no more as he dies and passes on the mantle of ruler onto his only son. However, the deaths of the 'Star-Crossed Lovers' has created a greater rift between the feuding Montegues and Capulets Verona's two most powerful noble families....

The 'CW' goes into uncharted territory with 'Black Lightning'....

The 'CW' is notorious for it's 'YA' (young adult) fare with fresh-faced young actors swarming throughout their numerous successful show offerings over the years. 

However, with the upcoming superhero/action series, 'DC's: Black Lightning' the CW goes into uncharted territory with a 'middle-aged' black male lead. 

Not only that, but 'Jefferson Pierce' (aka, Black Lightning) is also the father of two teen-aged daughters who have inherited his powers. Now, there are several middle-aged father characters sprinkled throughout the CW universe, but 'BL' is the first one up as lead. The premise of the show seems to be a 'Black Lightning Returns' run as the 'retired' hero dons his 'super suit' once more to stem the tide of crime running rampant through his city.

How the story will play out is yet to be seen, though so far it looks interesting though already cliche' in some respects (Black Principal, black gangs, inner city crime, and black character with two names of former presidents.) Time will be the judge though on whether this turns out to be a gem or turd.

Friday 'Sexual Innuendo Image' #08....

This Friday 'Sexual Innuendo Image' is a throwback to a time when Disco was king and 'real men' weren't ashamed to put on revealing leather outfits to make movies.

Here we see distinguished British actor Brian Blessed playing a 'flying prince' in a cult-classic sci-fi film wearing what was considered 'flight-friendly' attire. Can you name the film and the name of his character?

Just So You Know When Those 'Samurai Robots' Come After You....

For decades in Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk and even martial arts movies, 'Robot Samurai' have been a favorite with anything coming out of Japan or fans of Japanese lore.

However, all of that stuff was improbable whimsy. Today, it's not quite that far-fetched. Here you can watch a skilled sword master 'face off' against a robotic sword arm. It's like the modern and Japanese equivalent of 'John Henry vs The Steam Engine' and their epic battle of man vs machine.
