Cobra Kai season 6 Part 2 Review

Cobra Kai has always balanced light-hearted comedy and high stake situations very well. Over the course of its 6 seasons, the stakes have constantly been raised. That will all conclude in a grand finale that the show has been building for years; a world tournament.

In part 2 of a three part finale, The teams are set and everyone is ready for the start of The Sekai Tekai. A world tournament means we are going to get introduced to Dojo's from all over the world. Up until now, Miagi-Do and Cobra Kai have been too preoccupied with each other to even realize that there may be stronger fighters out there. One of the newest threats is a Dojo named The Iron Dragon. Led by Sensei Wolf (Lewis Tan) His two captains are Axel (Patrick Luwis) and Zara (Rayna Vallandingham) all three are threats to both the Sensei's and everyone competing in the tournament.

With so many talented fighters, you feel a sense of immediate improvement with the fight choreography and the many different fighting styles everyone brings to the table. All of these new fighters help elevate Cobra Kai and make the fighting feel that much more realistic. Zara is an absolute menace. She is unpredictable, roughtless and extremely skillful. Rayna adds such a unique dynamic to the female side, something that has been lacking in previous seasons with the constant back and forth between Sam and Tory.

These five episodes pack a lot of story in such a short time-frame but it manages to add enough depth to each character all while adding additional cast members. It does so at the expense of Students not able to attend the tournament but it is a worthy exchange for some fresh blood.

Every season there is a new mystery added to the Miagi backstory. Typically it has been used to help further Daniel’s story but this season, it affects everyone.

These five episodes are by far some of the best episodes in the whole series. It is all thanks to the story finally pushing its characters into territory not yet visited and so many new talented fighters adding their unique styles to the story. Be prepared for some shocking twists, some excellent matches and a jaw-dropping finale that will leave you speechless.

Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 is available on Netflix today

Rating all V/H/S/Halloween Segments

Like sorting through your candy after a night of trick-or-treating, V/H/S/ Halloween is a mixed bag. The eighth instalment in this cult-favourite horror anthology series comes up short of previous entries, but there are still a couple of treats in here that should satisfy your twisted cravings. A chilling still from V/H/S/ Halloween . Diet Phantasma This wraparound segment follows an R&D team testing a new low-calorie soda made with “real ghosts.” It’s silly fun, but gets a bit repetitive with each new test subject. The commercial playing during the end credits was a nice touch. Rating: ★★½☆ Coochie Coochie Coo This short feels like walking through a haunted house — but not in a good way. The plot is like something torn from a creepypasta thread. Everything is constantly being spelled out in a painfully obvious way. The practical effects and makeup are decent, and this is probably the only segment that comes close to being scary...

The Mandalorian Season 3 Review

Listen, I love Star Wars. I will always love Star Wars. The original and prequel trilogies were a big part of my childhood, and helped shape my love of cinema. While The Mandalorian isn’t among my favourites in the franchise, I thought it had a promising first season and a significantly stronger season two. Season three had so much potential, but a frustrating lack of focus held it back from greatness. This show’s always had a bit of an identity crisis, but it’s never been as clear as it is here. Does it want to be a procedural-style adventure of the week, or tell an epic, multi-season spanning arc? Season one leaned toward the former, while Season two found a satisfying balance of both. Season three tries to find that balance, but the overarching story it wants to tell is bigger than the few episodes allotted to do so. There are only 8 chapters, some barely over 30 min. That’s a fair...

The Rip Review

The Rip is all the evidence you need that a great cast can elevate an otherwise run-of-the-mill movie. Without its impressive A-list roster, this would’ve likely been lost among a crowd of forgettable January dumping ground releases. Throw Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and a handful of other extremely talented actors into the mix, though, and now you’ve got something worth watching. While there are exceptions that prove the rule, a lot of these police/cartel thrillers are interchangeable when it comes to their cookie-cutter story beats. The Rip breaks exactly zero molds, but it also doesn’t feel as uninspired as it could’ve. There are enough surprises to keep things engaging, and the tension - which the movie often hinges on - is appropriately high strung. The action is punchy and loud, which is no surprise coming from Director Joe Carnahan. While I do have minor issues with some of the sequences feeling a bit choppy in how they were shot and edited, the action is solid and packs...
