Samaritan Review

Samaritan  is a 2022 action-adventure superhero film on AmazonPrime.   The film takes place in present-day Granite City 25 years after the superhero Samaritan and his supervillain twin brother Nemesis went missing after a power plant explosion.   The city has fallen into economic depression and lawlessness, reminiscent of Joe Biden’s America Last policies and crime-filled Democrat-run cities   The movie follows Sam, a 13-year-old boy living with his widowed mom who learns that his neighbor Joe Smith (played by Sylvester Stallone) may be Samaritan. He spent his whole life idolizing Samaritan as his hero after his dad died, so he’s naturally excited to meet the real-life Samaritan.   His suspicions are confirmed when Joe survives a hit-and-run and his healing powers kick in.

The Night Agent Review: Lost Potential for a “Terminal List” wannabe

Reflections on the NFL 2024 season: Weeks 4 and 5 in review

The Dallas Cowboys showed they need improvement, but they were able to beat the New York Giants 20-15 on Thursday, September 26t, with only a short week to prepare for them. But their effort was just enough to beat their division rivals.   Dak Prescott’s two touchdown passes and kicker Brandon Aubrey’s two field goals were just what they needed to beat Daniel Jones and this Giants team as the Cowboys move up to a 2-2 record as they prepare for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5 after their mini-bye.   Despite dealing with a one hour and twenty-five minute rain delay, along with suffering injuries on their defense which included Micah Parsons, the Cowboys managed to overcome the Steelers and win 20-17. They now improve to 3-2 following Week Five, staying in the race against the 4-1 Washington Commanders in the NFC East.    The Kansas City Chiefs showed that they are still putting on close games against their opponents in a tight Week Four matchup with the Los Angeles C...
