ITS A CW CROSSOVER INVASION!! MEET THE ALIEN DOMINATORS ATTACKING OUR SUPERHEROES!!


The CW's superheroes—The Flash, Green Arrow, the Legends of Tomorrow and the rest of the crime-fighting residents of Star and Central Cities—have fought off many a Big Bad from their Earth (and Earth-2). But this time, the threat is extraterrestrial—which is why they call in their friend Supergirl to help in 2016's big DC TV crossover event.
In the end of the Supergirl fall finale, we saw Barry (Grant Gustin) and Cisco (Carlos Valdes) visit Kara (Melissa Benoist) to request her assistance in battling their latest threat—which, as we'll learn in tomorrow's episode of The Flash, is alien in nature. What better way to fight off aliens than to enlist your own?


The villains are an alien race called the Dominators, and they'll wind up on Earth (well, Earth-1) because of something to do with the metahumans. The storyline is based on the DC Comics crossover Invasion, and executive producer Marc Guggenheim says the idea for this year's event was based on an idea from DC TV super-producer Greg Berlanti.
"I think the way it came about was we all collectively wanted the superheroes to face an external threat. And by external, I don't mean extraterrestrial—I mean not a Big Bad from one of the shows, rather, a threat that came from outside of the shows," Guggenheim says.



"Greg just walked in one day and was like, ‘Let's do Invasion.' I think [fellow EP Andrew Kreisberg and I] both had the exact same twin reactions: that's totally awesome and oh my God, how the hell are we going to do that? I'm a big fan of that particular series and I'm a big Bill Mantlo fan. That was Bill Mantlo's first work for DC Comics after decades at Marvel, so that particular series looms very large in my personal estimation."

You'll see how the Dominators are rendered on TV when the crossover continues on Tuesday's episode of The Flash, then on Arrow the next night before concluding with Thursday's episode of Legends of Tomorrow. The superhero shows all air at 8 p.m. on The CW. Airs tonight. So who will prevail?? #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook...

Some funny news as Seth Rogen criticises Sony on Twitter!

Image
Seth Rogen has criticised a new Sony Pictures initiative to make family friendly versions of its films available to viewers. Sony’s Clean Version initiative allows home entertainment customers to purchase films that have been edited for broadcast television and in-flight entertainment systems. Under the scheme, “scenes of graphic violence, offensive language, sexual innuendo and other adult content” will be censored or removed from some PG-13 and R-rated movies. So far, “clean versions” of 24 films, including Captain Phillips, Step Brothers and the Spider-Man movies, have been made available to purchase. Rogen criticised the initiative on Twitter : “Holy shit please don’t do this to our movies. Thanks.” Holy shit please don't do this to our movies. Thanks. https://t.co/0lpoESaIQd — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) 6 June 2017 The actor, who has made adult-themed comedies such as Knocked Up , This Is The End and Sausage Party (don't forget the legendary Pineapple Expre...

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!
