The flash has started off with good first 2 episodes, but with such high quality expected of the series after the success of CW's Arrow, can the next 2 episodes match the viewer's expectations?

Guilty Pleasures #8 - Knight and Day
Can you go
wrong with a movie starring Cameron Dias and Tom Cruise? This is another guilty pleasure
that’s received mixed reviews from critics, with some calling it scattered and
uneven, while others call it fun. But it was successful enough at the box
office, gaining about double its budget back. I like this movie a lot, or at
least I did when I last watched it, as I'm writing this review, it'll be the
first time I've watched it in a long while. So let's dig into Knight and Day
and see if it still holds up to me after 4 years.

The Flash Season 1 episodes 1-2 review - City of Heroes/The Fastest Man Alive
With the
success of the CW series Arrow, it was almost inevitable we'd see more from
that universe. The Flash was introduced near the mid-season finale of Arrow
season 2, where we also saw the accident that inevitably turned him into the
super-hero we would come to know as the Flash, Grant Gustin was chosen for the
role, despite him not having Barry's iconic blonde hair from the comics. So
let's take a look at the first 2 episodes of the Flash, and see if we're
looking at a big hitter here.

Guilty Pleasures #7 - Daredevil
I don’t have
too much to rage at at the moment, but let’s take a look at another film that I
don’t think is as bad as critics have often thought it was, Daredevil
It’s another
Guilty Pleasure from Marvel Comics, specifically this time it’s Fox division. I
don't know much about the comics this is based upon, but what I do know is that
the modern day Daredevil is a dark and gritty saga defined by writer Frank
Miller. (Yeah, this is before everything he wrote turned to sh*t)
It was
popular enough for a movie to be brought out in 2003, earning a 5.3 on Idmb, a
45% rotten tomatoes rating, and while it was profitable, it made less than $200
million, the budget for a modern day Superhero movie.
So, let's
dig into the movie, and see exactly what went right, and what went wrong.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 Episode 1 review - Shadows
Agents of
S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1 was a mixed bag at best, so much that I got bored about 5
episodes into it, and stopped watching it. The turning point was having watched
the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had done
tie-ins with the movies before, but none of them had hit so close to home as
Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I caught up, and there were some decent
episodes of S.H.I.E.L.D. in that time, however it really started to gain
momentum with the episode ‘Turn Turn Turn’ which began exploring the impacts of
The Winter Soldier on S.H.I.E.L.D.
itself. The momentum continued throw and the finale was excellent, with
both emotional impact on the characters, and the appearance of Nick Fury.
So, has
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s second series continued the momentum from the finale, or
is it, like S.H.I.E.L.D. itself, back to square one? Let’s dig into the 2nd
season premiere and find out.
