Movie Review: Ballerina – A Ballet of Bullets and Brutality
Watch the film here: https://amzn.to/44yKhyfWatch my Short roasting the stair-falling chaos: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AxmUcermcEU Ballerina drops us back into the stylish and savage world of John Wick—but this time with a deadly twist of grace.

In Las Meninas, it uses a mirror similar to the Arnolfini wedding. In...
Villains that Would Work Great in a Batman Beyond Live Action Movie
Batman Beyond is overdue for a live action film. For its first film, here are my suggestions. The first one is Spellbinder. He is a bit like a futuristic Scarecrow. He uses hypnosis to mind control people into committing crimes for him. He can also conjure illusions. A live action version of him would be quite amusing. He is also a psychologist.

Instead of jokers, Terry’s father could get killed by Inque. In the...
