Penny Dreadful: Night Work Review

 

With characters from other worlds crossing over and meeting each other becoming a very popular thing recently. You'd be forgiven for forgetting the fact that the same thing also happened in a horror TV show that was actually pretty successful and while I personally didn't really see that much of this show nor it's spin off while either were airing I thought that now was the absolutely right time to check out the first episode of this show just to see if it was as good as alot of people claimed it to be and so then join me as I review the episode that has a very strong James Bond and Doctor Who connection with the episode in question being called simply just "Night Work" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when his daughter is taken by something supernatural Sir Malcolm Murray goes on a quest to find her no matter the cost. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as the plot of this episode wasn't all that good either with this episodes plot just being very dull at best and downright weak at it's worst with this not being helped by the fact that the episodes plot doesn't make me want to watch episode two of the show as that's how boring this episodes plot really was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Timothy Dalton as Sir Malcolm Murray , Eva Green as Vanessa Ives and Josh Hartnett as Ethan Chandler. Also starring in this episode is Danny Sapani as Sembene , Harry Treadaway as Victor Frankenstein , Simon Russell Beale as Ferdinand Lyle , Alex Price as Proteus , Olivia Llewellyn as Mina Murray , Lorcan Cranitch as Inspector Granworthy , Fady Elsayed as Lead Familiar and Robert Nairne as Master Vampire.

Now the interms of what I personally thought  felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising as alot of the cast in this episode are a bunch of really good actors and actresses with this really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is really good and so all the cast just have to do is say the words as they are written and a good performance will and in this case does come out of them naturally which really does help the overall quality of the acting in this episode.

Something that I wasn't expecting was for this episode to do is to set up a major character arc that lasts the entire of the show. With the chief example of this being the fact that in this episode they set up Vanessa's role in the show and what her arc in the how will be not by having any line of dialog but by having one vampire act scared of her that was a really subtle way to set up something that i'm assuming is scary an it's that kind of subtlety that I miss in TV shows as alot of TV shows these days just lack subtlety with them instead opting to out right way say whatever it is that there hinting at and so it was shocking to see this show set up something in a rather subtle way especially as she is a main character in this show.  

This show is basically the horror version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this episode alone introducing many characters from all across the world of horror literature. With the biggest reveal being the fact that the doctor that the group meet and work with in this episode is infact Victor Frankenstein with him having just created a creature of his own and even Malcolm's daughter Mina could very well be Mina Harker from Dracula and I have to admit that it was great to see all of these horror icons come together in a way that felt natural and yet at the same time seeing new sides not only to their personalities but also to their established characters which made those iconic characters feel fresh and different.

For the most part this episode is basically really just setting up the world in which this show takes place in. Which is fine for the first ten minuets or so but when a huge portion of the episodes running time is just setting up the world and not really doing anything with the characters it really go along way to make the whole episode feel like a chore sit through which is made even worse when you take into account that alot of the world building really didn't need to be seen as it could ave been spread out all throughout the episode as that would have made the episode a little bit easier to sit through instead of feeling like a chore to sit through however I will admit that when this episodes wants to get exciting it can be really exciting to sit through. 

Making Victor the good guy of this show really does make alot of sense as at his core the character was a good guy. Even going back to the original Frankenstein movie you can see that he was a guy that trying to do his best but was corrupted by his work which became his downfall where as in this show he's got somewhat of a troubled past with him still trying to be a good man which does make him seem like a tragic figure as anyone who has read the original novel or has seen the original film or it's sequel will know that it doesn't end well for this character ad while i'm not sure if that's two for the character in this show it would make his story feel all the more tragic as once again his work would have corrupted him.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty three minuets and one second. Which Im will admit is a bit of a long running time for this episode to have as it really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover that large amount of running time which means that we do get alot of scenes that just feel like padding as they add nothing to the overall plot of the episode with this episode being better of if those scenes were left on the cutting room floor as it would have helped the episode feel alot less like a chore to sit through and it would have helped the episode flow better as well altho I will admit this episode really does have some some really good pacing in it tho.

So now then as there are some scares in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual scares that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode were in all honesty really good. With this episode having some really good and creepy scares to it with alot if not all of the scares working really well and while yes alot of the scares in this episode were jump scares they were jump scares that were  done really well as they were built up all throughout the scene instead of just having someone jumping out and yelling boo which is what alot of jump scares basically amount to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this episode was at times a chore to sit through but at the same time because it has some really good and creepy moments in it and some really good acting from all involved it really does make this show look really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are n his very episode in this very review and as such that meas that this very episode earns it self a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Penny Dreadful fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very special that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: Tales Of The Tardis: The Three Doctors Review

 

We knew back when it was announced that Disney was acquiring the distribution rights to Doctor Who that there would be alot more spin offs happening. Well to kick of it's anniversary month the BBC have dropped all six episodes of it's first spin-off series as well as announcing the name of the shared Doctor Who universe as well and well it's really one of those episodes that i'm going to be talking about today and so then join me as I review the episode that really celebrated the shows tenth anniversary with the episode in question being called simply just "The Three Doctors" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is when the creator of the experiments that allowed the time lords to travel in time seeks his revenge against the time lords it's up to the first three doctors to stop him meanwhile Jo and Clyde reunite in the Tardis. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about thew actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the story also being really entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as The Doctor , Patrick Troughton as The Doctor and William Hartnell as The Doctor. Also starring in this episode is Katy Manning as Jo Grant , Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart , John Levene as Sergeant Benton , Stephen Thorne as Omega , Roy Purcell as President , Clyde Pollitt as Chancellor , Graham Leaman as A Time Lord , Rex Robinson as Dr. Tyler , Laurie Webb as Ollis , Patricia Prior as Mrs. Ollis and The Sarah Jane Adventures star Daniel Anthony as Clyde Langer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty. Really good with all of the cast both in the original episode and in the newly filmed scenes really do turn in some really good performances with this really being helped by the fact that not only are these a bunch of really good actors but also because of the fact that this episodes script again both in the original episode and in the newly filmed scenes as well is just so good that all the cast just have to do is say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally.

With this show we see the launch of the Whoniverse which us the brand name for anything to do with Doctor Who and all of it's related products. With not only this show launching but also a new documentary hosted by David Tennant and over eight hundred hours of classic Doctor Who which doesn't include all of the episodes mostly because of  the fact that alot of the episodes but in the case of An Un Earthly Child it's because the son of the episodes writer falsely believes that alot of the Doctor Who iconography that was introduced in that episode was first thought up by his father but either way we have never had and mostly never will have this much Doctor Who all in one place with the whole idea of the Whoniverse really is to basically be Doctor Who's answer to the modern day cinematic universe.

The best way that I can describe this show to those of you who are outside of the UK right now is that it's basically Doctor Who's answer to Mystery Science Theater 3000. As both shows do have their own plot lines with their own cast and crew working on them but they also integrate either a full length movie or in this case a full length episode of classic Doctor Who however that's where the similarities end as where as Mystery Science Theater 3000 frequently makes edits to the movies that there showing and has alot of host segments in each episode this show leaves the original episode untouched an only has two host segments one at the start of the episode and one at the end of the episode or at least that's how it was interms of this episode.

Altho I will admit that while this episode is mostly perfect that are some issues that I have with this episode. Like the fact that even this episode is being told from Jo's point of view we are being shown things that she wouldn't have seen and as such this is a case were removing those scenes would have made sense in the context of this show the other really major issue that I have with this episode is the fact Clyde really doesn't get alot of love and attention in this episode which does make sense as he never traveled with the Doctor but f your going to go to the trouble to bring back a character that hasn't been seen on screen for the first time in well over ten years then you really should give him some attention even if it's just him telling us what he's been up to in the years since we last him. 

I have to admit that even tho it was rather understandable as why we couldn't have gotten all three of the actors playing The Doctor in the same room together. It still would have been to see how all three doctors would have acted when they are in the same room as each other and while we do get hints of what a scene would have looked like thanks to William Hartnell not being able to commit to studio filming due to his health all we get is his doctor being trapped and only appearing on the TARDIS TV screen with his doctor acting like an older brother type of figure to the second and third doctors younger brothers which is something that would have been great to see with all of three of them in the same room as each other and it would have been fun seeing how all three of them would have come up with a solution to defeat Omega.

Noe then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and forty two minuets and five seconds. This is a bit on the long side for the episode to last as even tho both the newly filmed scenes and the original episodes have plenty of story to help tom cover that large amount of running time there are parts of the stories that do drag on a bit and really don't feel needed in the grand scheme like for example we don't really need to see as much of the time lords as we do in this episode and the ending with Jo and Clyde could have been trimmed down a bit as the ending really does start to drag on a bit but I will however admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about thew actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really cheesy at best. As even tho they obviously make it obvious when there using a stunt double it's when we get to Jon Pertwee's but fight scene where things get really cheesy as for some strange reason the whole thing is show in slow motion and mostly consists of both The Doctor and the creature that he's facing flipping each other with them occasionally chopping over and that's really it which just makes the whole fight look really bad and really cheesy as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a rather solid both from the original episode and the newly filmed scenes as well and incase your wondering you can only watch this show on BBCIPlayer as the whole show was funded by the BBC with no money coming in from Disney with this show so far being a really great way to start to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of this truly iconic show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old core of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki age and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that really alot if not all of the images that are on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red Review

 

Marvel have a busy month ahead of them with the oncoming release of their latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film The Marvels getting alot of the publicity attention. As such you'd be forgiven for not knowing that the company also had a Disney+ special out as well with that special coming at what is turning out to be a pretty bad time for Disney as such you all just knew that I had to check this special the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I review the special that for some really weird and really rather unknown reason makes Black Widow the main character with the special in question being called simply just "Lego Marvel Avengers: Code Red" enjoy.

The plot of this special is when everybody with the word red in their name starts getting by The Collector it's up to the Avengers to find him and to put a stop to his evil scheme before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad however that's also the issue as the plot of this special wasn't that good either as it gives us no reason as to hwy the entire Avengers line up plus Wolverine is needed for this mission but I will admit that this specials plot is really fairly exciting and engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is Mick Wingert as Tony Stark / Iron Man , Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich / Omega Red and Hot Dog Vendor and Roger Craig Smith as Steve Rogers / Captain America , Ivan Kragoff / Red Ghost , Brother and Bystander. Also starring in this special is , Laura Bailey as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow , Little Girl and Sister , Travis Willingham as Thor and Wendigo 2 , regular Hulk voice actor Fred Tatasciore as Bruce Banner / Hulk , Wendigo 1 and Santa Claus , Steve Blum as James Howlett / Wolverine , Wendigo 3 and Hydra Goon 5 , James C. Mathis III as T'Challa / Black Panther , Bumper Robinson as Sam Wilson / Captain America and Hydra Goon 4 , Trevor Devall as Alexei Shostakov / Red Guardian and Hydra Goon #1 , Haley Joel Osment as Taneleer Tivan / The Collector , Liam O'Brien as Johann Schmidt / Red Skull and Hydra Goon 2 , Laura Post as Betty Ross / Red She-Hulk , Milk Woman and Computer Voice and Will Friedle as Hydra Goon 3.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very very special was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that shocking as alot of the cast in this special have been playing their respective characters for decades at this point and so they would of course know what kind of performance would suit their characters and it helps that alt of this specials cat are bunch of really good actors and actresses.

Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Atomic Cartoons. Now then inters of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / resented to us in this very special was in all honesty. Not that bad with animation in this special really being alot better then what it really had any right to be but at the same time the animation isn't as good as it perhaps could or maybe even should have been.

For some strange reason the makers of this special chose to make Natasha Romanoff the main characters. Which is something that really didn't sit right with me as anything to do with The Avengers should be more of an ensemble piece and not have one singular main character this made even worse when you take into account that all of the The Avengers apart from Natasha Romanoff feel alot more like side characters when the special is quite literally named after the whole group and not just Black Widow which really does ht home my point that this really should have been more of a ensemble piece as that really is the only, way to do an Avengers special well.

I hated the fact that alot of the characters in the The Avengers got alot more sidelined then other members did. With both Tony Stark and Black Panther being the worst example of this as both of those characters just straight up disappear from the special for a large portion of the specials running time which is odd as both of them could have taken down The Collector by themselves just by outsmarting him and yet for some reason the makers behind the special chose to have both characters disappear from the special and not only that they play no meaningful part in the specials third act which means that the characters really didn't need to be included in this special as everything would still play out the exact same way.

While The Collector is an interesting villain he's not a villain that really requires the entire Avengers team to get together in order to beat him. As really any of them could have gone on this mission with Wolverine and the results would be the exact same and when you add in the whole team should really only get together when there's a villain tat requires the entire team in order to beat them for example Loki and Thanos then it makes me wonder why the makers of this special chose such a weak villain in order to go against that's quite obviously going to beat him yes this special is made for kids ad so it's not expected that you give the team a good villain but that should mean that you go the extra mile as that will only serve to help your special and not hinder it.

Now then his special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty three minuets and thirty three seconds. Which is pretty much the best running time tat this special could have had as when you get right down to it this special really doesn't have alot of story and only has enough story for about forty five minuets and that's really it and while there are some scenes in this special that do feel like padding they happen so early on in the special that you can kind of forgive it for being there and when the specials plot does get going almost every single scene is there to advance the plot with no scene really feeling like padding in the slightest with this being helped by the fact that this special really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this sis an action special that means that I have to actually talk abut the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad. With this special having the kind of action that you'd expect to see in a kids Lego superhero themed special and while we do indeed get some really creative looking action in this special we don't really get to see what each member of the team brings to the team during those action scenes which is shame because like I said we get some really cool and creative looking action scenes in this special in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while it's as clear as day that this special was just made to sell more Lego Avengers toys it was still a really enjoyable special that was alot better then what it really had right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about al of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls ad as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very special that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

South Park: Joining The Panderverse SPOILER FILLED Review

 

Every so often there comes along that gets people online so riled up that you just have to check it out the first chance that you get. Well that;s exactly what happened when South Park dropped the teaser trailer for South Park: Joining The Panderverse as alot of people got upset that South Park was doing what it always does and always has done and that's make fun of everybody and well with the special dropping today on Paramount+ I just really had to check out and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the special that really had alot of people really upset just from the teaser trailer alone with the special in question being called simply just "South Park: Joining The Panderverse" enjoy.

The plot of the special is when Cartman finds himself sucked into another dimension that replaces everybody with different versions of themselves the boys have to find away to get him back before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot tat's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty the weakest aspect of this special as the special plot was rather on the weak side with the plot not really showing up until about twenty minuets and even then the plot really just disappears quite alot of the time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is this specials writer , director and the shows co-creator Trey Parker as Stan Marsh , Eric Cartman , Randy Marsh , PC Principal , Mr. Fixit , Dr. Krongberg , Tom Tompson , Chris Martins , Stephen Stotch , Alternate Herbert Garrison , Alternate Harrison Yates and Alternate Kathleen Kennedy. Also starring in this special is the shows co-creator Matt Stone as Kyle Broflovski , Kenny McCormick , Butters Stotch , Gerald Broflovski , Bob Iger and Cereal Kyle , April Stewart as Sharon Marsh , Liane Cartman , Shelly Marsh and Alien Liane Cartman , Mona Marshall as Sheila Broflovski , Adrien Beard as Steve Black , Kimberly Brooks as Linda Black and Kathleen Kennedy , Janeshia Adams-Ginyard as Alternate Eric Cartman , Mo Ashley as Alternate Stan Marsh , Alice Ghostlie as Alternate Kenny McCormick , Diana Lauren Jones as Alternate Kyle Broflovski , Bibi Mama as Alternate Butters Stotch and Luis Perez as Mark Parker.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. Wit all of the cast in this special turning in some really good performances which does make sense as not only does this show always have some really good acting in it but alot of this specials voice cast are a bunch of really good voice actors and really helping things is the fact that this specials script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a god performance will come out more naturally.

Doing the animation for this special is the legends and the greats that are currently over at South Park Studios. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good which again really shouldn't be all that surprising as the animation in this show has always been really good and what really does help the animation in this special is the fact that it really does look like that it could belong in a feature length film not just a streaming special as the animation is that good.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!

This special takes alot of shots at not only Disney but also Lucasfilm and the fact that alot of superhero movies in general have been using the idea of a multiverse. Heck even the first real joke in the main South Park universe is them taking aim at Disney with the title of this film being done in the style of the Disney logo and heck even the specials title could be seen as a reference to Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse but for me while the multiverse story was indeed very entertaining what was more entertaining was the storyline with Randy where they oddly take a shot at the fact that the owners of X / Twitter and Facebook want to get into an MMA ring and fight each other and heck Randy's story was just more entertaining overall.

For a special that deals with the multiverse they don't really spend alot of time explaining how the multiverse works in the world of South Park. Which is a shame because they really could have gone over the top with the idea of the multiverse which is something that they do hint at at the end of special but it's something that would have been really cool to see as seeing South Park take apart something that's infecting modern day cinema could have been really entertaining and seeing the different South Park universes could have been really fun to see but at the same time it's also something that would have felt like padding as well.

I've held of on it for long as I could but I have to talk about the so called "controversy" surrounding this special. As a certain group of people got upset that South Park was making fun of both race and gender swapping characters for no reason yet those exact same people were more then OK when South Park mocked people who believed differently from them in The Pandemic Special and don't realise that just like The Simpsons South Park takes aim at anybody and everything just because they were taking on something that those people liked and agree with doesn't mean that they can't show us the funny side to that idea if anything it means that they should do it more often as the gender and race swapped versions of the characters in this special were actually well written and were very entertaining for the really small and short amount of time that they were on screen.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty eight minuets and forty seconds. Which was a bit on the long side for this special as the special really doesn't have alot of story to cover that large amount of running time in the first place with alot of the stuff with Randy mostly feeling like padding even tho it's very entertaining which is a shame because they could have stretched this episode alot more just by developing the alternate universe of San , Kyle and Kenny all of whom get the short end of the stick as we don't get to really spend alot of time in the alternate world which is something that we could have done if the makers of this of this special well and truly wanted to but I will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. With this special having a lot of truly laugh out loud moments with alot of what alternate Cartman says being true comedy gold and even the idea that Kathleen Kennedy is somehow involved is just a funny idea with the same thing also being true for the fact that all of the parents of the main universe South Park just accepting the fact that Cartman is now a now female of color also being a really funny running gag and the fact that all of the handymen in town are now wealthy for no reason is just a funny idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!

Overall this was a really fun and funny special but at the same time it's neither as fun nor as funny as it perhaps could or maybe even really should have been as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that meas that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as of for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse fandom wiki page , the official South Park fandom wiki page and Google Images.

Worzel Gummidge "Very Good Worzel" Review

 

Well then it's been a long time since I last wrote a review of a Worzel Gummidge not for lack of trying to review anther it's just different things got in the way. Well thankfully this time there was nothing to prevent me from reviewing an episode that i've been dying to review really for quite some time and so then join me as I review the episode that really is then very first episode of this show to not be directed by the shows regular director with the episode in question being called simply just "Very Good Worzel" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is in order to make some money Worzel and Aunt Sally get new jobs working for Mrs.Bloomsbury-Barton. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty simple but enjoyably so with this being helped by the fact that this episodes plot really enjoyable and entertaining as well as being really engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , John Le Mesurier as Baines , Beatrix Mackey as Lady Partington , Hilary Mason as Miss Fogg , Cherry Morris as The Vicar's Wife , Clifford Parrish as The Vicar , comedy legend Joan Sims as Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton and Last Of The Summer Wine star Sarah Thomas as Enid Simmons.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which really isn't all that surprising as the acting in this show has always been really good even in the shows bad episodes the acting was always top notch and the same thing is true for this episode as well and alot of that comes down to the fact that not only are their some genuinely good actors and actresses in this episode but the script for this episode is good that all the cast have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them alot more naturally and that really does show in this episode.

What I really loved about this episode is the fact that we got to see Worzel and Aunt Sally working together. This was something that I really wasn't expecting to be the case as when we usually see them it's usually Worzel who is being kind to Aunt Sally and yet in this episode they are both working together to archive a common goal in this case earning some money ad while they do still argue in the episode for alot of the episodes running time they are working together and I have to wonder why the makers of this show didn't have them working together more often as it was really cute seeing them working together and seeing just what kind of mayhem they can course when they do work together in any given situation.

This episode really is choke full to the brim with a bunch of truly iconic british comedy actors and actresses. Which just goes to show you that alot of people really were trying to get on this show as it was and still is a good show and the fact that in this one episode we managed to get stars from the Carry On films as well as a star from the hit show Dad's Army in one episode together just goes to hit that point home even further as if this was any other show where they treated the making of an episode just like any other kids TV show then it wouldn't have worked but as the treated the making of an episode of Worzel Gummidge like they were making a film it meant that we could get bigger name stars to guest star in the episode as it meant that the scripts for each episode had to be feature film worthy ad not just TV show worthy.

For some strange reason this is the only episode of the original show not to be directed by the series regular director James Hill. With this episode instead being directed by David Pick who was an associate producer for all of the shows first and second series and a few episodes of it's third and fourth series I have no idea why he chose to direct this one episode but it does seem rather odd that of all of the series two episodes this is the one that he'd choose to direct and not one of the more dramatic episodes not really helping things is the fact that he has a different directing style to James Hill with James treating it like he was making a feature length film but here it felt like it was more of a high end kids TV show and that really does come down to the directing.

Even tho alot of the episode does take place in or around Mrs Bloomsbury-Barton's House the episode oddly feels claustrophobic. As we don't really get to explore much of the inside of the house nor do we get the grounds of the house either with us only being limited to just a few rooms in the inside of the house and just a few corners in the outside of the house which is a shame as with an episode like this one it would have given us the chance to explore more of the house and see how the house runs on a day to say basis and yet the episode doesn't do that in the slightest and as a result it does get a bit repetitive just seeing the same rooms over and over again without seeing anything new or even interesting in them.

Now then while I cannot for the absolute life of me remember whatever this episodes running time I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grad total running time of roughly twenty five minuets. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for this show and to this episodes credit it really doesn't feel that long at all with the episode having more then enough their interms of plot to cover that amount of running time but at the same time I would have liked it if the episode was really just a tiny bit longer as like with alot of episodes in this show I was having such a good time watching it that I just really wanted to see more of that world and more of those characters and it really does help that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is a comedy that means that I have tom actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having a lot of really funny moments like the fact that Aunt Sally spells her name the exact same way that a child would which was not only really funny but it was also really fitting for the character as well as the character would actually do something like that or even the fact that when Sue shows Worzel what a butler she has her nose up in the air which was just a really cute and really funny moment in the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while I wouldn't say that this episode is a must watch for Worzel fans it is a good example of just how good this show can be when it it's at it's best with the episode itself just being really fun tom watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thins that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . UK , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images  are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The Perfect Pear Review

 

Every so often we all get songs that just pop back into our heads for no reason well the very same thing happend to me just a few short days ago. With that very song leading me to suddenly remember this episode and well I thought that i'd review it for all today as it's meant to be a very popular episode in the My Little Pony fandom and so then join me as I review the episode that as a song so catchy that i'm willing to bet that alot of you are singing it right now with the episode in question being called simply just "The Perfect Pear" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a pony returns of Ponyville the Apple siblings go on a quest to learn more about their parents. Now then interms of  what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as it was a really simple plot and that's what this show does best nice and simple plots and while yes there are episodes that have complicated plots this is an episode that really didn't need a complicated plot at all it just a plot that was nice and simple and that was exactly what we got given to us in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Ashleigh Ball as Applejack , Michelle Creber as Apple Bloom and Peter New as Goldie Delicious and Big Mac. Also starring in this episode is William Shatner as Grand Pear , Felicia Day as Pear Butter , Tabitha St. Germain as Mrs. Cake / Chiffon Swirl and Granny Smith , Bill Mondy as Burnt Oak and A Townspony , Bill Newton as Bright Mac and Cathy Weseluck as Mayor Mare.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not bad. Which is to be expected as the show had been going on for seven years at this point and it really does help that this episodes cast are a bunch of really talented voice actors who know what kind of performance would suit their respective characters in any given scene and it's also helped by the fact that this episodes script is so good that all the cast have to do is just say the words as they written and a good performance will come out them naturally as that's just how good the script for this episode really is.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Top Draw Animation. Now then interms of what Im personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but that's also the issue as it wasn't all that good either that's not tom say that the animation was bad because it wasn't it was however just OK best with there not really being any standout pieces of animation which is a shame because on paper this episode should have had at least one stand put piece of animation in it.

I think we all now the reason as to why this episode is as loved as it is and that's because it tells a genuinely good love story. With the closest thing that I can think of to compare this love story was that of Romeo & Juliet as the stories of both Romeo & Juliet and this episode are fairly similar with both of the people in love coming from families that absolutely hate each other and while this show for rather obvious reasons couldn't go down the dark route that Romeo & Juliet goes down it's still a rather sweet thing to see as it really a tale that's as old as time and when it's done right like it is in this episode then we end up with something that's not really truly special but also something that people will remember for a long time to come.

Really helping with this episode being a huge fan favorite is it's song which is called "You're In My Head Like A Catchy Song" and is written by the episodes co-writers Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. I have t admit that I really do love this song as it's not only a really well written with the song advancing the plot of these two characters but it's also a genuinely really good song that is really sung by actress Felicia Day with this song being just like it says in the songs title a very catchy song that will stay n your head fora long time after finishing this episode and you when add in the fact that the songs matches the visuals perfectly then it's no wonder that this song is just that damned good of song that's perfect for this episode in the first place.

While there are alot of good things to be found in this episode there are some things that I didn't like about the episode like the fact that Grand Pear gets redeemed which to me shouldn't have happened as it would have said to people that sometimes people just don't get over grudges at all. The other thing being the fact that it seems out of character for all of these characters who up until now would have most likely have been saying that lying is bad to suddenly be written as liars and while they do give an in episode reason as to why the characters are acting like that it's still something that shouldn't have happend as the episode still could have told it's story without using the characters that use for the flashbacks by instead creating brand new characters.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which is a bit of short running time for this episode to have as this episode would, have been better served if it was a two part episode as then the story could have been allowed to breathe more and it would also allow the episode to really tug at your heartstrings alot more as well but at the same time however as the episode only really has enough plot for this one episode if they did stretch it out to two episodes then they would have been making the plot really weak and really thin and that in the long run would do a huge disservice to both the plot and to the show as a whole and I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as the is some comedy to be found in this episode that means that I gave to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / resented to us in this very episode well ten in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode some really cute and funny moments. Which is something that I was really surprised by as it would have made sense for them just to focus on the romance aspect of this episode and yet fr all the amount of romance that they give us in this episode they give us these really cute little comedic moments which worked really well in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a really fun and a really sweet episode with it being really obvious to see why this episode became such a fan favorite episode as it's an episode that really tug at your heartstrings in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the ad things that are in very episode in this very very review and as such that means that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
