‘Thunderbolts*’—A Spark of Hope in Dark Times
After years of mediocrity, Thunderbolts* is the welcome change MCU fans were waiting for.

Joe Kifly, a university student who owns a “box” car, is dating Fia. Joe changes when he meets Pinky, a modern and rich girl. Joe bets that he can win Pinky’s heart, but she only wants to be friends with him. Joe tries to go back to Fia, who is now being courted by Tony, her ex-boyfriend. When Fia is about to be raped by Tony, Joe comes to defend her, leading to a fight. They have many battles until Tony dies. Joe then gets back together with Fia. The film seems to depict life as full of pointless pretention.

If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film.
Is God Is tells a harrowing tale of retribution, sisterhood, and gender based violence. Far too eerie and clever to be an ordinary slasher, but too gory and merciless to be an ordinary thriller, Is God Is will appeal to the highbrow horror lover with generational trauma anywhere.
This surprisingly clever romantic comedy perfectly balances genuine heart with wild reality television chaos. It is an uplifting and funny reminder that second chances and real community can show up exactly when you stop looking for them.
Despite the film’s efforts to reframe its heroine with modern complexity, a certain emotional distance lingers.
