16 Wishes (2010)
A Fun but Flawed Movie
16 Wishes is a very fun and lighthearted movie. It's aimed to entertain teen girls, which it definitely succeeded in doing so.
The movie is about a teenage girl who just turned 16 and looking forward for her best birthday ever. She gets a box of 16 candles which correlate to her 16 wishes she made for when she was a little girl. Every time she lit up a candle, a wish would come true. It's a very nice concept and I enjoyed the movie a lot. It teaches many things to teenagers and kids watching this movie yet entertaining them at all times.
However, there are some flaws. First of all, the characters, especially the main character, don't seem to act as a teenagers would regularly act. The dialogue is sometimes odd and makes it very clear to the audience that the script was written by a 40 year old. The plot and concept are very good and I was definitely hyped to watch this movie when I heard the concept, however the story is very predictable and cliché. But this is a Disney teen movie, what do you expect?
Nonetheless, 16 Wishes is a great movie for people who just want to enjoy a lighthearted film with their family or friends.
The Flash: Rogues of War (2023)
The Flash's downfall to mediocrity continues
The Flash has always been a comfort show for me and I rewatched previous seasons many times. This episode, this season, the past few seasons to be frank, were one of the most insufferable pieces of television ever created.
Believe me when I say this, I was a fan of The Flash since I was a kid. I used to watch episodes every week when the first few seasons aired and yes, they weren't perfect but they were very fun to watch as a kid and it was enjoyable for me to see The Flash have it's mighty battles and fight his biggest foes. But ever since the second half of Season 6, I have tried and tried time after time to sit through 40 minutes of cringe dialogue, messy plots and storylines, and ridiculous VFX.
I think one of the main problems of The Flash's downfall is unrealistic budgets causing the VFX to be ridiculous and having no choice but to hire TERRIBLE writers. This season started with the first episode being pretty good but this one was just unwatchable.
We start off with The Flash's latest enemies from the previous episodes, once again with cringy dialogue trying to steal objects to create a time machine for their benefactor, which is revealed to be Red Death. The Flash brings a team of rogues together to steal an object before the enemies steal it. They then for some reason, don't listen to Barry because apparently the rogues are just a group of sensitive little babies. Anyways, Barry apologizes because that's what big kids do and they get in the facility in the most least epic way. Apparently a highly guarded facility doesn't have security cameras and the rogues just stand there in front of the generators without any guards or any security cameras. The enemies then arrive and Chillblaine, being the worst character ever in the show, betrays Barry and the rogues and reveals to be Red Death's lackey. Once again, cringy dialogue. The CGI was... fine for The Flash. Red Death then reveals herself in the worst way possible saying "I am vengeance". She reveals to be Batwoman being the new avatar of the Negative Speedforce. This is by far the WORST villain reveal ever since Season 7.
Overall, a terrible episode. I didn't enjoy it at all and I had a very rough time sitting through it. I hope Eric Wallace and his writing team get a hold of themselves so this season could at least be better than Season 7.
Episode: 903, Rating: 6/10.
