Supergirl Hits the Small Screen
This week marked the arrival of Supergirl on CBS. After sitting through this much anticipated premiere, I've got to say...it wasn't that bad. Aside from the usual pilot episode illness, Supergirl proved to have the potential to match those of her other DC Comic counterparts.

Mad Max: Fury Road
Have you not seen this movie? No? Well, you need to close your browser right now and head to your local theatre. I'm serious. Go. Right now.
For the rest of you, it's already clear. This movie is freakin' amazing! Visually, it's one of the most stunning films I've ever watched, but overall it was hands down an incredible experience from start to finish.
Tom Hardy kills it as Max, a lone traveler fighting to survive on his own in a post-apocalyptic world where most of the population has, of course, gone savage. He is captured and taken to a fortress called The Citadel, wherein he is thrown into the beginning of the story's major plot. I'm not here to give spoilers; just to give praise to this amazing film. The characters are exquisite. The design of their costumes as well as the unique vehicles they command is top notch and incredibly detailed. The action scenes are breath-taking. I literally had to gasp and take in a deep breath after the first twenty minutes. There was so much going on that all my energy went into keeping up with my eyes. The cinematography and choreography kept me glued to the screen for the film's entire duration. I was in a state of pure enjoyment.
There's so much more to say about this film, but I'll leave it at action-packed powerhouse. Before the film was even halfway over, I had already added it to my top ten greatest action movies of all time. Congrats to all involved.

Atkins Review: The Legend of Korra Finale
I know I'm a bit late with this review (seeing as how the newest season has already kicked off), but wow! What a season that was for Legend of Korra! The finale did not disappoint as everything leading up to it came to a head. No punches were pulled during the final battle. Lives were lost and consequences were met. Our heroes lay witness to an enraged avatar state not seen in nearly a century, and struggled to find any way to help. It was a grand display worthy of the original series, and a true restoration of this new series' reputation.

Atkins Watch: Legend of Korra (A Brief Review)
If you aren't currently watching Nickelodeon's Legend of Korra, you should be. Within its first few episodes, season three has already shown itself to be the best this show has offered up so far. Fans of the original series (myself included) have been rejoicing over the rejuvenated franchise, and there are no shortage of reasons why. Here are a few of my own, in no particular order.
