#10 - Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest 2015 (Part Two)

#9 - Original Comic Book: Twisted Magic

• "If the moral compass created by your past didn't exist, who would you become? If you had no one to tell you who you were, who would you think you are?"

#8 - The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 7 “Gorilla Warfare”

• “the writers for Flash always do a fantastic job of never drawing story’s out past what is necessary. This is definitely the case for this episode.”

#7 - Arrow Review: Season 4 Episode 9 “Dark Waters”

• “First lets just say great Mid Season Finale, the type which makes you wish this show was a Netflix property and that you didn’t have to wait a month and half to see where it was going to lead.”

#6 - The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 9 “Running To The Start”

• “Wentworth Miller may be the best at playing Captian Cold but the original Trickster Mark Hamill is still perfect for the role of James Jesse.”

#5 - Arrow Review: Season 4 Episode 8 “Legends of Yesterday”

• “Every episode this season has been on point, much improved and more enjoyable. Surprisingly this may be the best season yet of Arrow”

#4 - The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 8 “Legends of Today”

• “This was another great episode and I am loving the crossovers. This DC Television Universe is by far the best and in my opinion is more enjoyable than what we get with Marvel.”

#3 - Comic Book Review - Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla #3 - Action Lab Comics

• “I love a good capture and escape type of story.  This is exactly that and I especially love it when science and a bit of creative trickery is used.”

#2 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) A Masked Blogster Movie Review

• “It's a great movie and highly recommended.  The theater experience makes it even better as you hear the cheers, oohs and ahhs.”

#1 - Arrow Review: Season 4 Epsiode 5 “Haunted”

• “Matt Ryan once again nailed his performance and gave us the Constantine we all want.”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) A Masked Blogster Movie Review

Luke Skywalker is missing and the First Order is looking to take over the galaxy in a way that the evil Galactic Empire never could.  The Resistance know they need Luke Skywalker to bring balance to the force as the Dark Side is clearly on the side of the First Order.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the seventh episode in the Star Wars cinematic saga.  Television, comic books, novels and more have attempted to continue the story of the tale but we, as an audience, are finally treated with a film.  JJ Abrams brings the fans of Star Wars the movie they deserve.

Action.  Good luck catching your breath during The Force Awakens as there is plenty of aerial combat, light saber battles, blasters and even a bit of fisticuffs.

New characters.  Our new bad guy is Kylo Ren(Adam Driver) and he wants to be every bit as bad as Darth Vader and the voice is awesome.  Domhall Gleeson and Andy Sirkis are added to the baddies as General Hux and Supreme Leader Snoke respectively.  Finn(John Boyega) is a Storm Trooper who is having a bit of an identity crisis and is a great addition.  Poe Dameron(Oscar Isaac) is the likable hot shot pilot.  Rey is played by Daisy Ridley who absolutely shines in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  Rey and the newest droid, BB-8, are the true stars of this movie and truly make everything go.

Old Characters.  Han Solo(Harrison Ford), Leia(Carrie Fisher), Chewbacca(Peter Mayhew), C-3P0(Anthony Daniels) and Luke Skywalker(Mark Hamill) all make a return to the franchise.  All are back for a reason and that makes this movie even better.

The Look.  The Force Awakens did not feel like everything was computer generated imagery.  Even if it was, it didn't have that "clean" feel that Episodes I, II and III did.  Tie Fighters and X-Wing Fighters actually looked dirty.  BB-8 was actually built.  I also enjoyed the sets immensely.  The inside of the First Order's base had a look reminiscent of the Death Star.  Not a bunch of floating Senate seats but big walls with lights and designs that mimicked episodes IV, V and VI.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going to be the first film that I have reviewed for Cinema Head Cheese, and Maskerpiece Theatre for that matter, to receive the five out of five Pile Drivers.  I liked it so much, I may need to throw in some other wrestling finishing moves.  It's a great movie and highly recommended.  The theater experience makes it even better as you hear the cheers, oohs and ahhs.

Go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens and use Movie Pass.  You can also see any other movie in the theater at one low monthly cost.
