    Please go to the google slide link to view this review at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XXJcA9qpeFJLX3JX1FG7rpXhffEMdzyGxhfPlfcICYM/edit?usp=sharing. Thank you. If you want to stay here and read the article, please read the text below. Thank you. Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I begin this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing the Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track which came out in 2003 that is currently on Disney+. Why am I reviewing this movie? There are several reasons why to review this movie. This movie deals with the story of Erica and Courtney Enders that went into drag racing. Drag racing is where a car races down a track, and that individual must get his or her car across the finish line. It is not like NASCAR racing where they go in a circle. That individual goes down a straight line and must get his or her car across the finish line. The league that Drag racing goes into is called NHRA which stands for the National Hot Rod Association. When Erica Enders first races was when she was 8 years old, she races in the Junior division of the National Hot Rod Association. Her father was Greg Enders, and he was a great drag racer. There is a scene in the beginning of the movie where Erica Enders is 4 years old, and she was in her dad’s car, and he had to get her out of the car for him to get ready to race. She gets challenged by a couple of boys that tease her about being on the training wheels of her bicycle. She tells them that she can beat them. She races them and she does beat them. I will explain more as the episode continues. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.

Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog. Rest of Review and Rating of Right on Track As was mentioned before, the movie Right on Track deals with the story of Erica and Courtney Enders. Erica Enders was born a racer. She has skills that cannot be taught. As her father Greg Enders tells Erica’s mother and his wife, only the best drivers have that. In her first race when she was 8 years old, she won that race and yes, she ended up beating the boys. She was the only girl at the time when she raced the boys in Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas is where this story takes place. The idea of a female drag racer was unheard of at the time when Erica Enders raced at the time. Courtney Enders will follow in her sister Erica Enders footsteps. Erica Enders inspired her sister Courtney Enders to get into drag racing. The movie will jump 7 years later when Erica Enders is 15 years old and going to be 16 years old shortly. How I know this is that she will test for her license later in the movie and most states have people get their driver licenses when they are at least 16 years old. Her dad Greg Enders tells her and her sister Courtney Enders that you can race out of state if you have straight A on your report card. If you have Bs you are racing in Texas only. Any Cs, you can forget racing. They both agree to his terms and promise that they will get straight A in their classes. Erica Enders will race against Jordy Knowlton and his father Rusty Knowlton will tease Erica Enders’ father Greg Enders; your little girl will not cry if she loses. Erica Enders races against Jordy Knowlton and loses to him. Erica Enders is frustrated by this as she hates to lose. Greg Enders tells Erica Enders that you need to go and shake his hand. Erica Enders tells her father that he is a jerk. Her father reminds her that it does not matter if he is a jerk or not; win or lose at the end of the day, you need to be the best person you can be. Erica Enders will end up shaking Jordy Knowlton’s hand. Rusty Knowlton tells her, this is not for little girls, why don’t you do us and the sport a favor and get out now. This attitude is still here as there are males still that think that females should not do things that they perceive are only done by males. That attitude is wrong, and it is unfortunate that it is still here today. Her father Greg Enders agrees with Erica that, you are right, they are jerks. There are those that think they ought to gloat if they win and have that arrogance that they should win all the time. It is happening now with how MAGA claims if they do not win all the time, it is rigged against them. They will gloat when they do win. They are sore losers and the good thing about sports is if you take about competition teaches and learn how to win and lose with grace; it will make you a better person. If you do not do that, you become a bad person. Erica Enders will be in her room later and she is testing her mental speed with a device that does that. She is not pleased with it. Her mom Janet Lee Enders comes in and asks her, are you going to be this every time you lose. Erica Enders tells her mother that she hates to lose. Her mom tells her, you cannot win all the time. Her mother is pointing out a fact that is very true. Everyone loses now and then, no one wins all the time. Erica Enders tells her mother that when she first stepped into her father’s car, it just felt right when she raced. She felt at home when she was behind the wheel of a car. For example, if a person likes to write, that person will feel he or she at their best and feel like that who he or she is at that moment. It is who that person is and no one else should try to change that person. Courtney Enders comes in later tickling Erica Enders with a feather. Erica Enders gave her the device and Courtney Enders got a better score. Courtney Enders handed her the device and Erica Enders was frustrated that she did better with it than she did with it. Erica Enders will come to the garage with Courtney Enders in Erica’s car. Courtney Enders tells her we should race each other. Erica Enders tells Courtney Enders, if I did that, it would not make sense. She tells her sister Courtney if I raced you and beat you, all I did was beat a little kid. If by some miracle, you beat me, all I did was get beat by a little kid. It would be a no-win situation. As Courtney Enders tells her, you crack me up, you take it so seriously. Erica Enders tells her, how am I supposed to take it? As Courtney Enders tells her, it is just a race. Courtney Enders may be the younger sister, but she is right. It is just a race. Erica Enders must allow herself to relax and not to take it so seriously. Erica Enders must allow herself to have fun. Yes, life will have stakes, but the stakes cannot overwhelm you, so that you do not have fun. If you allow yourself to enjoy the process and do your best, you will be more successful than if you do not do that. Erica Enders is played by Beverly Mitchell who played Lucy Camden in the TV series 7th Heaven. She played the third child of the Camden family. She was the 3rd oldest in the Camden family. Mat and Mary Camden were the older two. Erica Enders is the oldest one. There are only two of them in this family. How she plays Erica Enders is how she plays Lucy. She is fiery and will not tolerate people picking at her. Later in the movie, Erica Enders is getting picked on by a couple of popular girls saying that racing is not a real sport. She plays volleyball as well as does drag racing. She tells them, you do not think that it is a real sport. Have you ever been in a car that is going fast? It feels like you can hardly breathe. You can hardly hold the steering wheel. You had better develop your arm muscles, so I am sorry I must disagree with you. It takes quite a bit of athletic ability to do what I do. I will play the clip with the two girls picking on Erica Enders. You will watch the YouTube video included in this blog to watch that clip. Thank you. Courtney Enders is played by Brie Larson in this movie. Yes, it is the same Brie Larson that will end up playing Captain Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is one of the first roles she had as an actress. This is a theme for Brie Larson, she plays females that are tough and do not fall into the traditional female role. Brie Larson was in Hoot where she plays a tough female character who is trying to save owls that lived under the ground. She gets a role to play Elizabeth Zott in Lessons in Chemistry and yes, Elizabeht Zott does not fall into tradition

    Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace Movie Review and Analysis on Disney+

    Please go to https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ql0wJCEbjWpKw7EeGJJ7rov4t-90-pQbjoZ-vAzt2bc/edit?usp=sharing to view the slide show presentation. Thank you. Here is the article for you to read if you rather stay here. Thank you. Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes in this video or blog post. Please consider signing up for my newsletter on my website of www.mattacritic9803.com on my website. Please follow me on my blog by clicking on my name so that you can stay updated when I post a new blog post on my website. That will be helpful. Thank you. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace that is currently on Disney+. The reason to do this review and analysis of this movie is that there is relative stuff that is said in this movie. It also makes sense as this movie is now 25 years old. This movie has weaknesses, and the idea of the story is good. The idea of going back to understand why Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader is important. It helps the viewer understand why it happened. It also helps the viewer understand how Emperor Palpatine came to power. He started out as a Senator from Naboo, but he wanted power and he wanted to create a crisis. Palpatine decided to have the trade federation attack Naboo so that he can say to those in the Republic such as the Senate that Chancellor Valorum is not worthy to be Chancellor, so you need to elect a new leader to run the Republic. This is remarkably like how every other dictator rose to power. Rome was a republic before the people there elected Julius Caesar before he decided the people needed a dictator to run the government for them. This is what this review will set out to prove. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video. If 10 or more people sign up for Patreon or YouTube memberships at $10 or higher, I will give those people a shirt. This will be a fantastic way for you to support the channel.

I never always agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her honest opinion. This is what I do.

This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog. As was mentioned before, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace came out 25 years ago in May 1999. This movie came out 22 years after the first Star Wars film of A New Hope. This movie tells the viewer that the trade federation was acting aggressively towards Naboo. The two ambassadors that were going to force the settlement of the trade federation were jedi knights. As the viewer finds out the jedi knights are Qui Quon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi. Qui Quon Jinn was Obi Wan Kenobi’s master. Oui Quon Jinn tells Obi Wan Kenobi that this trade federation are cowards, the negotiation will be short. That is true. The trade federation is working for Darth Sidious who is known other becomes Emperor Palpatine. At this moment in the story, Emperor Palpatine is Senator Palpatine. He has not been elected the Supreme Chancellor yet. There is this belief that dictators rise to power through force. Most of the time it is more subtle than that. They are usually elected, and people will get duped by that individual thinking they have their best interests at heart when it is usually about them getting power no matter what. Julius Ceasar was elected in Rome. Adolf Hitler was elected by the people of Germany. Adolf Hitler promised the Germans, if you elect me, I will make your lives better. He told the Germans that your lives are bad because of the Jews. The Jews must be eliminated so that your lives can be better. These dictators promise that they will make their lives better, but it is a smokescreen at best. It is a bunch of hot air. Their egos are as big as a hot air balloon. Look at Donald Trump, his ego is as big as hot air balloon. Donald Trump like Senator Palpatine will promise a lot, but in the end, it is all lies. They are usually the agents of chaos and promise those, you must give them all the power to protect from the chaos. It is usually a vicious cycle. That is the irony at best. Qui Quonn Jinn will have to rescue Jar Jar Binks from getting killed by the Droid army. What is wrong with you? Jar Jar Biniks tells Qui Quon Jinn that I can speak. As Qui Quon Jinn tells Jar Jar Binks, the ability to speak does not make you intelligent. That is true. Jar Jar Binks is a bad version of Steve Urkel. If a person grew up in the 1990’s, Steve Urkel was clumsy. His clumsiness was used intelligently. Steve Urkel was intelligent but had coordination problems. There may be those that like Jar Jar Binks and that is understandable. It is the assessment of this review that this could be better. For example, in Return of the Jedi, Wicket threw the slingshot into his eyes. This was an effective use of comedy there. Jar Jar Binks was stupid, and it was hard to understand what the appeal was. It is The Jedi later gets help from the Gunkans to help with the problem of the droid army. The Gunkans needed to help them. It is important for that to happen. They must go up and help Queen Amidala escape from the trade federation. It is important for this to happen. The Jedi rescued her and her court. The governor tells Qui Quon Jinn and Obi Wan Kenobi that they would not dare to kill the queen. The captain of her royal guard tells them they need her alive to sign the treaty. They cannot afford to kill her. The governor tells Queen Amidala that you need to go with the Jedi to Coruscant. Senator Palpatine will need your help. This is true, she must plead her case to the Senate. This is the only way they will get where they need to be. They escape off the planet of Naboo and they are lucky to get through the blockade of the trade federation. The ship gets heavily damaged, and they are rescued by R2D2. This is where R2D2 came from. He was on Naboo. He was a droid that was always concerned about the mission. The captain tells Queen Amidala that R2D2 is the reason we survived. Queen Amidala tells Padme to clean this droid, it deserves our gratitude. Padme will meet Jar Jar Binks while cleaning R2D2 and this is where Padme talks to him. It is an enjoyable conversation here. She has a friendly conversation with Jar Jar Binks. The viceroy of the trade federation tells Darth Sidious that this ship is out of our range. Darth Sidious tells the viceroy; it is not out of the range for the Sith. Darth Sidious introduces the viceroy of the trade federation to Darth Maul. Darth Maul is cool as he is menacing, and he has a face that is menacing. Darth Maul is a great character. He wears a black hood. The good thing that this movie does is that it has Palpatine in the same hood that he was known to wear once he became the emperor. Return of the Jedi showed that as well. It is of a navy-blue color. It is a communication that the viceroy and his second in command have with Palpatine. The viceroy tells him after they are off with Darth Sidious, there are now two of them. The second in command agrees, this is getting out of hand. As Oui Quon Jinn tells them, this is the best place to take her is Tatooine. It is the place where we must hide from the trade federation. Tatooine is controlled by the Hutts. As the captain tells the Jedi, you cannot take her there, the Hutts are gangsters. It would be, if the Hutts were looking for her, but that gives us the advantage. Qui Quon Jinn is right, they need to take her there as they are not looking for her. They get on Tatooine, and this will lead Qui Quon Jinn to go with Padme, Jar Jar Binks, and R2D2 to meet up with Wala and they will eventually meet up with Anakin Skywalker. As Anakin Skywalker tells Padme, are you an angel? Padme tells Anakin, what? An angel, as Anakin says. As Anakin describes, they are the most beautiful creatures in the galaxy. As he tells Padme, all the space pilots talk about when they come through her. Anakin Skywalker is a slave. Padme leaves and lets him know, I was glad to meet you, Anakin. Anakin tells her the same thing. Anakin Skywalker must help down the road. Anakin gets Padme, Qui Quon Jinn, and R2D2 to shelter. Anakin Skywalker shows Padme C3PO and tells Padme that he was built to help his mother around the house. Padme tells them that the republic outlawed slavery. As Anakin’s mother tells Padme, the republic does not exist out here. Anakin suggests to Qui Quon Jinn that I will help you. Anakin suggests to Qui Quon Jinn, you can have me race in the Pod Race and that I can help you get the money you need to buy the parts necessary to fix your ship. There is no choice but to let Anakin help them as his mother tells Padme and Qui Quon Jinn. The movie will progress with Anakin Skywalker racing in the Pod Race

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 Review + Live trailer reactions + Live questions

    Here is the link to the google slide. It is https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NKS2Z21JgvSesryabj6gXNEumoDo7prdYA1GgFFh4FE/edit?usp=sharing. Thank you. I hope you enjoy reading it. Thank you. Here is the review below, if you want to say here and read it here. Thank you. Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway and Happy belated Mother’s Day. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel or blog by clicking on my name of Matthew Hemenway and become a follower of my blog or hit the notification bell at the bottom of this video. Please consider signing up for my newsletter so you can stay up to date of what is on my website, and you will be notified of any new posts that I put on my website of Mattacritic. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 3 that is currently on Disney+. I will also do live trailer reactions and take questions and ask you questions on air for you to respond in the chat. I will let you know when that happens. The series will start off with Omega being on the planet that Dr. Hemlock has her after he took her there to force Nala Se who was the one who created the clones, and the Empire wants to use her to make more of them. In the first episode, it will remind the viewer what happened to Tech. Tech told Wrecker, when have we ever followed orders. Tech knew the only way they all did not die is if he sacrificed himself to save the whole team. The emperor wants to find specific DNA in the clone. He is looking for M class blood. Dr. Hemlock is torturing the clones to condition to become obedient soldiers. Echo was hoping to help Captain Rex find where Dr. Hemlock took these clones so that he could rescue them. Omega hopes she can escape from her prison, but she does not want to leave Crosshairs behind. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video. If 10 or more people sign up for Patreon or YouTube memberships at $10 or higher, I will give those people a shirt. This will be a fantastic way for you to support the channel.

I never always agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her honest opinion. This is what I do. Whatever rating I give, you need to know it is my honest opinion. I will never lie to you. If you do not agree with me no matter what rating I give you, that is fine with me. This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being a follower of my channel or my newsletter. As was mentioned before, Omega is looking for a way to escape from the prison that she has been put in. Emerie Karr is a clone like Omega. Emerie Karr told Omega in the final episode of Season 2 that she is Omega’s sister. Omega hopes to help Nala Se as well as Crosshairs. It is no doubt that Crosshairs served the Empire, but he believed that he was doing the right thing in serving them. As the viewer knew from Season 2, the empire betrayed Crosshairs and he thought that he was a good soldier. He realized he was wrong, and that the empire only wanted to use him as a tool. Mayday needed medical attention, but one of the officers of the empire refused to help him. He killed that officer because of what happened to Mayday. This is an example of how an authoritarian government does not care about what happens to its citizens or soldiers if they do not do what it wants. If anyone thinks their lives would be better under a king or emperor, that person is delusional at best. It is not. This Season will show that it is not the case. Omega learns from Nala Se that you want to get out of. If Emerie Karr finds out that you have M class blood, then she will tell Dr. Hemlock. This will be bad news for Omega and Nala Se who had been destroying her blood samples to protect her from this happening. Nala Se knew that if this happened, it would be bad news for Omega. Omega must plan her escape to help Crosshairs get out of the prison they are in. Omega and Crosshairs escaped with the help of Nala Se because she gave Omega a pad that allowed her to access codes to get through parts of the facility that is run by Dr. Hemlock. Omega finds Crosshairs, and she goes to the part of the facility where a pet is kept. It is where earlier she helped the animal that she cared for escape. She helps Crosshairs escape. Omega and Crosshairs escape. Omega feels discouraged when the ship they try to steal does not work. Crosshairs remind her that it is okay; we will figure it out. They do, and they both escape the planet. Dr. Hemlock will find out from Emerie Karr that Omega has the M class blood they have been looking for. M class blood can only be one thing. It was mentioned in the Prequels. In the Phantom Menace, the first Star Wars movie of the prequels, was called midichlorians. It was an important factor if an individual possessed the force. This is why the empire wants her to. There will be another reason as well. No, Omega is not the only one they have and wanted. Omega and Crosshairs get to a planet, and Omega is trying to convince a droid to help them get on a ship without chain codes. They must have chain codes to get on a ship. This is where it gets challenging. Omega tries to win money by gambling and playing games. It gets harder. Their pet gets captured, and they must rescue it. One of the Imperial officers knew they were from the planet that Dr. Hemlock was on. Omega and Crosshairs must figure out how to get off the planet. They steal a shuttle, and they escape. They got to the planet, and Hunter and Wrecker found her with Crosshairs. Omega told Hunter and Wrecker; her escape would not have been successful if she and Crosshairs did not work together. With them both working together is why their escape was successful. The season will continue with them meeting up with the Echo on the planet that reminds a viewer of Hawaii. This is where they will go to a planet that is a snowy and ice planet. This planet is like the planet that Crosshairs was on when he lost Mayday. It reminds him of that. As he tells Hunter, the empire betrayed me first. He does not tell Hunter that it was because they would not help Mayday when he needed medical attention. As one of the imperial officers told him, it would be a waste of the empire’s resources if they helped Mayday. This just shows how cold and calculating they are. They feel like they are getting close to the base. They hope they can find it. As Captain Rex told Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshairs, you had better figure out why the empire wants Omega. Your lives will not be safe until you figure out why the empire does want her. Both Captain Rex and Echo found out from a clone that was looking for Omega. A bunch of clones come to take Omega from them. As Captain Rex told them, you cannot do this. You must consider if you are on the right side of history. They let them escape. The season will progress and Phee Genoa is played by Wanda Sykes. Wanda Sykes has been in movies like Evan Almighty. She has a dry sense of humor about her. Her humor is not crude. If you watch her in the Atkins ads, her humor shows up there. It is . Wanda Sykes made fun of Rob Lowe when he was eating a candy bar claiming to lose weight. That was funny. Even in the first episode of the second season of the Bad Batch, she showed that humor there. I will play the ad with Rob Lowe and Wanda Sykes that is an Atkins ad. Phee Genoa said that she could not believe how funny the clones looked. Omega was a special one since she did not look like any of the other clones. Phee Genoa will meet Crosshairs and Crosshairs is under the impression that she does not like him. She does. As Omega told him, she is freeing treasures. In a sense, Phee Genoa is a treasure hunter or a pirate. Phee Genoa is like Han Solo or Lando Calrissian. They were scoundrels or card players or con artists, but they still had a code. They did not like dealing with the empire. Phee Genoa is like that as she does not like the Empire. Phee Genoa tells them if you want to find a place or someone who can help you with knowing what Omega is, you need to find a bounty hunter. Phee Genoa told Hunter and Wrecker that you need to find Fennec Shand. Yes, Fennec Shand, who was in the first season of the Bad Batch, makes an appearance this season. Fennec Shand’s first appearance in Star Wars was in the first season of the Mandalorian, which is a good series. Fennec Shand will help Wrecker and Hunter find out who can help them if they help her. Fennec Shand was also in the Book of Boba Fett, which I reviewed for this channel. They agree to do that, and they help her by catching her bounty. Fennec Shand ends up helping them. The person who finds them is named Asajj Ventress and she is a gray character. She worked for the Separatists, but she wanted to help Omega. Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshairs do not trust her. Assajj Ventress tells them if I told Omega that she could wield the force then I would have to take Omega so she could be trained, and she would have to leave you. You must understand that the empire wi

    The Rule of Threes Book Review

    You want to go to Google slides to access it. It is https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xViY5g-TJs5YiXE91OmByzObq4k_QkyFVg_-gPnfliY/edit?usp=sharing. Here is the written portion of the review, if you rather stay here and read it here: Hello everyone, welcome to the Matacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing The Rules of Threes: A Novella by Jeffrey Deaver. This book is 260 pages long. This is not an exceptionally long read. The story will be about Constant Marlowe, who is a DCI investigator for the state of Illinois. The name of Illinois comes from a name of a Native American tribe. The book will explain this. Constant Marlow is working in Clark Valley to find the BRK killer who has been terrorizing the town of Clark Valley. She works with Frank Tremain and Zo Eventide who works for the Clark Valley Sheriff Department. Frank Tremain is the Sheriff and Zo Eventide is one of the deputies that works for the Sheriff. Zo Eventide is paired with Constant Marlow in finding the BRK killer before this individual strikes again. Zo Eventide and Constant Marlow work well together. Constant Marlow is a female police investigator who works for the state of Illinois. The BRK killer likes females that have dark hair, so the killer is raping and killing these females. This is a person who wants to live in his sexual fantasy and wants to impose his sexual fantasy on his victims. There will be several possibilities of who the killer is. I will give you my rating at the end of this episode. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.

Thank you for being a follower of my channel and my newsletter. As was mentioned before the BRK killer is attacking females that have dark hair. This killer is targeting females that are in their 20’s. You would think this killer is an older man. The reason that is the case there is a man that goes by the name of Joseph Ray Whelan. Joseph Ray Whelan is stalking around looking to find someone. The reader will think he is after witnesses that may have seen him. It appears that he is a stalker. A stalker is someone who watches someone, and they are obsessed with that individual. The book will throw twists and turns. What the reader thinks he or she knows, he or she does not know. It is great writing. It is great storytelling when the reader cannot figure out what is going on in the story. Jeffrey Deaver knows how to get the reader to guess what he is doing. Frank Tremain is the Sheriff of Clark Valley, but he is also a forensic scientist. He knows how to break down the evidence at the crime scene. He is good at CSI. He tells Constant Marlow that he had to learn how to do it since there is not enough in the budget for the town for the Sheriff department to hire a forensic scientist or a CSI. The people that saw the killer are the Hope family. The Hope families’ names are Glen Hope, Liz Hope, Tamara Hope, and Erik Hope. It is assumed that since they are witnesses, they must be innocent. That would make sense, but this book does well to make the reader think about that. What you know is what you think you know you do not. Glen Hope is the father of the Hope family and is married to Liz Hope who is the mother of the Hope family. Tamara Hope is the only female child of the Hope Family and Erik Hope is the one of the male children of the Hope Family. There is another male child but is not in the picture. His name is Jason Hope. It is believed that he is dead, but is he? What is the status of Jason Hope. Is he dead or is he alive? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. Thank you. There is a racist group that is called the Eagle Brotherhood, and it is believed they are killing these females. These are not good people, but it does not mean they are the killers. They are looking to scare people that are minorities, and they want to scare Native Americans off their land. This is where this is interesting. The Eagle Brotherhood are modern day Nazis. They do not have death camps, but they still have their philosophy that there is one master race. Their idea is to have the world be of the white race. They want to have people go to Canada. This is where they are not interested in death camps, but they would like their part of the world be of all white people. In their minds to make America great again is to make it white again. There is a man named Bigot with another man who attacks Constant Marlow and Zo Eventide based off the group of Eagle Brotherhood who are a Nazi group in this story. They attack her because they hate the fact that she is with a person who is of a different race or ethnicity. Constant Marlow used to be a boxer before she became a police investigator. She uses those skills to help beat these two men up that are attacking her and Zo Eventide. They don’t want her to use any weapons. They believed they would have her at a disadvantage. What they do not know is that she is good at hand-to-hand combat. She does not have any weapons like a gun or a police baton. These skills will be important. There are people who want to eliminate Constant Marlow and Zo Eventide. They want her to be eliminated because they feel they are getting too close. There is a scene in the book where their car gets pushed into the river by another car. This involves Constant Marlow breaking out of the car and having to rescue Zo Eventide before they both drown. They are lucky to survive based on this attack. The reader concludes that there must be a guardian angel watching over them. Constant Marlow is more determined after this attack. The people who do this believe this will scare her off. All they do is make her more determined to find the truth. She is a bulldog and will do whatever it takes to find these people. There is more than one person in this criminal conspiracy. The BRK killer is not acting alone. The BRK killer has help. Constant Marlow concludes that is the case. This case has a lot of threads and a good detective, given the time he or she needs, can put those threads together. She must solve a puzzle, and each piece needs to fit, so this mystery makes sense. Constant Marlow is in a relationship with Evan Quill, who is a prosecutor. She also trusts him and knows he is good at what he does. He is a straight shooter. He believes in the law and will apply it fairly. He comes to her and helps her with solving the case of the BRK killer. They are in a hotel room. This relationship is not serious. It is a relationship to have fun. Joseph Ray Whelan is going around looking for victims, or that is what the reader thinks. It feels like he is the killer who is rapping his victims. He is not; he is a police detective. He is a bulldog. He is looking for the killer that killed and raped his wife. Joseph Ray Whelan believes he is talking to an innocent person, but that person ends up hitting him with a pipe and crushes his skull and kills him. Believing he is the killer is wrong. As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. It does bring the reader to the climax and leave this book open to a new book to be written. I will give you, my rating. I give the book Rule of Threes by Jeffrey Deaver, an Amazon Original Story, a 10 out of 10. This story is complex and what the reader believes he or she knows, they do not. The twists and turns are good in a mystery or thriller like this. As a reader, the reader wants to have it not predictable. The writer does a good job of having characters that are believable, and characters who appear to be good are not the case. The reader believes that he or she knows who the villain is but does not. Who is the actual killer? Is there one killer or more than one killer? Please leave your answer in the comment section below. Jeffrey Deaver has written other books on Constant Marlow. It is called the Broken Doll series. I have not read them, but if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can read and listen to them for free. That would be part of a Kindle Unlimited subscription. It is good that it comes with an audio version for a person to listen to. If a person travels, having access to an audio version is a plus. Please go to this link and check out my newsletter. There will be a bunch of articles that you can check out on my website. My website ha

    While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams Book Review and Analysis

    Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this review, please subscribe to this channel, and hit that notification bell to be notified of any reviews at the bottom of this review. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing and analyzing the book While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams. Some background on Stacey Abrams, she was the one that ran for governor of Georgia twice and lost twice to Brian Kemp. She is a state legislator from Georgia. She is an advocate for fair elections and has a playbook on how to save our democracy and our country of the United States of America. It starts with getting people out to vote and understanding that elections have consequences if you do not vote. Please vote this November of 2024 and every election after this one. If you want your government to work for you, you must vote so that it can. I am cautiously optimistic if we do this, it will save our country from going into an authoritarian regime. This book will deal with a president that believes he is above the law and there is a plot to have this supreme court justice dealt with that has been a throne in the president’s side in terms of doing the president’s agenda. This sounds too much like what is happening now in real life. This is happening with the MAGA movement that has penetrated our local up to our federal governmental agencies. I know there will be those out there that will say that I am getting political about this. This is not political. When George W. Bush, who was the last republican president before Donald Trump was not a dictator because he left and did the peaceful transfer to Barack Obama and Barack Obama did that to Donald Trump, but Donald Trump did not do that to Joe Biden. Instead, he led an insurrection against the United States of America. Once their term was up or that candidate lost, they always left the office peacefully. Not until Donald Trump did this happen no matter the party of departing president. Brandon Stokes in this book will have Major Vance working for him to kill Justice Wynn and this is where the conspiracy lies in place. He wants to put another conservative justice so that he can claim to his base that he did this. I will give you my rating at the end of this review. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn.

Thank you. Rest of Review and Rating of the Book While Justice Sleeps written by Stacey Abrams Before I continue this review, remember I will give you an analysis of the text and whatever rating I give you is my opinion. This does not mean that you must agree with me. I never always agreed with any of the reviewers that I would have read or listened to. What I always admired is that they gave what they saw in the text he or she was reviewing, and that individual would have given his or her honest opinion. This is what I do. Whatever rating I give, you need to know it is my honest opinion. I will never lie to you. If you do not agree with me no matter what rating I give you, that is fine with me. This channel or blog is meant for reading, watching, and learning. I always hope that inspires you to think critically. You know that I go through texts carefully as you can tell that I have looked at them and give detailed analysis of what I see. I hope that helps you. Thank you for being followers of my channel or my blog. As was mentioned before in this review, President Stokes is looking to use Major Vance to get rid of Justice Wynn to get his conservative justice on the bench. He wants to stack the court with his conservative justices. Justice Wynn will find out there is a conspiracy with an American biotech company and an Indian company. Justice Wynn will take a drug that will cause a coma and it will make it, so he does not wake up until someone helps him to do it. Justice Wynn has Boson’s disease which is uncurbable. The merger between these companies may not save him but can save the life of his son Jared Wynn. Nurse Lewis will find him, and she will call 911 to get him to a hospital. This goes against the orders that were given to her by Major Vance who is working for Homeland Security. Nurse Lewis was supposed to let Justice Wynn die, not save his life. This will unfortunately lead to her getting killed by Major Vance. Avery Keene, a brilliant law clerk, will later find out that she has been named Justice Wynne’s caretaker. She is shocked by his decision to do this, but it will become clear to her why Justice Wynn does this. This will cause her to meet Jared Wynn and Celeste Turner Wynne who is Justice Howard Wynn’s estranged second wife. His first wife died years ago. Justice Howard Wynn is from Georgia. Avery Keen will have allies such as Jared Wynn, Noah Fox, and her best friend of Lin who is in the medical field. She is not alone, which is good. Each one of these characters will be beneficial to her. Jared Wynn served in the military and understood how to hack computers and track to see if there were any bugs around. This can mean anything to listening devices and hidden cameras. Noah Fox is an attorney and understands the law. Lin, as was mentioned before, has medical knowledge. Avery Keene will face challenges from Celeste Turner Wynn in the right to have guardianship over Justice Howard Wynn. Celeste Turner Wynn is not worried about her estranged husband’s best wishes. She only cares about one thing, to get lots of money from his death. What she does not know is that Justice Howard Wynn did not leave her any money according to the will he had Noah Fox write for him. He allowed her to do it if Avery did not accept the responsibility but did not allow her to get any money. This will force Avery Keene to accept the role of being Justice Howard Wynn’s caregiver. The person he left his money was to his own son Jared Wynn. The book will have Avery Keene and Jared Wynn going to Jared Wynn’s childhood home in Georgia that he felt when he was close to his father of Justice Howard Wynn. This will lead them to getting shot and they must figure out how they are going to survive this. They do, but it is not easy. They will get back to Washington, DC and they must figure out what their next move is. Justice Howard Wynn has put clues to Avery Keene that are like figuring out a chess game. Avery Keene is a great chess player, and this is up her forte. She must figure out what he means and put together the clues that he left her to find. She is smart and she will figure out this game that he has put in front of her. FBI agent Lee will find out that she is not a criminal. FBI agent Lee is a government servant, and he always wants to find the truth. He is not a sycophant; he always wants to seek justice. This is important. There are good cops and bad cops. He is considered a good cop. The search for Ani will be important. It will help the reader to understand what happened years ago with certain experiments. The experiment that is discovered is that the Indian government was trying to cover up an experiment that was designed to kill Muslims. Anyone that would think that would not be possible. Hitler and the Nazis executed 6 million Jews, so yes this is possible. The Turks killed 75% of the Armenian population. Watch the Promise and rent it from Amazon and you see why I say why I am saying what we humans have done to each other is horrible. I would take my cat’s love of me. Their love is genuine, and I know how much they love me, and I love them. Believe me, we could learn something from our pets. My cats have all loved me, and in return I love them. To me, it has made me a better person. I know that loving my cats makes me love people better. It is hard to love some people, but it is necessary. If they hate me, that is their problem. If we all focused on love more than hate, this would be a better world to live in. Jared Wynn will call Ani a murderer and this is understandable. Since this technology was used to kill Muslims. There are two people that want to make this technology work for the better. One is from North Carolina and his name is Nigel Cooper and the other is from India if I am not mistaken. I could be wrong about that one. If I am, please let me know in the comment section below. It could be cure for Borson’s disease which both Justice Howard Wynn and his son Jared Wynn have. This is where this technology can be used for good. The story will deal with Avery Keene’s mother Rita Keene getting kidnapped by the people who are corrupt working in Homeland security trying to get rid of Justice Howard Wynn by any mean’s necessary. This is where the criminal conspiracy comes into play. This is dangerous and will make it so Avery Keene must decide between her mother Rita Keene or killing Justice Howard Wynn. Avery Keene produces the idea that she will resign Justice Howard Wynn’s position on the court to save her mother. The story will have twists and turns. It will bring the reader to the climax of this story. I will give you, my rating. I give While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams, a 10 out of 10. It was fun but tells a complicated story. If you listen to the audio version of this book, she will be on the audio version telling the listener that she was rejected several times. She had friends that told her to keep plugging away. There were publishers at the time she submitted this book who said this would never happen. Ironically, it did. When Scalia

    Marvel Studios Deadpool and Wolverine Official Trailer Reaction and Breakdown

    Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any videos or blog posts at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reacting and breaking down the official Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer done by Marvel Studios. This movie is set to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024. This is one movie you want to watch in theaters. If you would rather wait for it to be released to Disney+, then do that. If not, watch it in movie theaters. I will be reacting to the trailer. I will have you watch the trailer and give you my thoughts after the trailer. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Here is the trailer now; I will see you after the trailer. The trailer is awesome. I love how Wolverine looks like Wolverine in the comics. Here is an image to prove my point. In the comics, Wolverine was always wearing a yellow suit when he went to fight bad guys. Yes, Hugh Jackman is playing Wolverine again. This makes sense as Marvel paid him a lot of money. Ryan Reynolds is back as Deadpool. Deadpool needs Wolverine’s help to save his world. As said in the trailer, Wolverine’s world went to hell. The bartender was telling Wolverine earlier in the trailer to get out of the bar. It is very similar to the first X-MEN in that the bartender was telling to get out. Wolverine was known to drink beer. Here is a clip of Wolverine drinking beer and being told by the bartender to get out of his bar. This is after someone tried to kill him and he had to defend himself from that attack. The clip will be played right now to prove my point. In the trailer, you can see portals that Doctor Strange has been known to use. This is cool to say the least. One of the characters reminds me of the Ancient One. Yes, the one who trained Doctor Strange before he became the Sorcerer Supreme. Wolverine is that character that says he is not a hero. It is mentioned in Logan, a movie that I reviewed for this channel in this link. If you are wondering, yes blind Al is asking to do drugs. She likes her cocaine. Remember, Blind Al was known to do drugs. Remember in the first Deadpool, Weasel who is played by TJ Miller asks Blind Al if she would like to do some drugs in this link. She says yes to that. She is asking Wade Wilson if he wants do drugs. Wade Wilson tells her at the end of the trailer; it is off limits. One of the slang terms is Forest Bump which makes fun of Forest Gump. Forest Gump starred Tom Hanks and came out 30 years ago back in 1994. That was the year I would have started high school. I finished Eighth grade that year. Hard to believe it has been 30 years since I was 14. She asks him, do you want to build a snow man? You can think of Frosty the Snowman, but this is doing cocaine not building an actual snow man. In the first trailer of this movie Deadpool and Wolverine, the TVA was in the first trailer. You want to watch the Loki series as they are mentioned in the first trailer. You do not see much of them in this trailer, but it is mentioned that Wolverine failed to save his world according to the TVA. Wolverine must help Deadpool stop what is happening. As Deadpool told him, you are the X-MAN. Any person who knows about the X-MEN, normally would think Wolverine. I hope this movie meets expectations.

    Marvel’s Morbius Movie Review and Analysis on Disney+

    Hello everyone, welcome to the Mattacritic. This is Matthew Hemenway. Before I start this episode, please subscribe to this channel and hit that notification bell to be notified of any episodes at the bottom of this video or blog post. In this episode of the Mattacritic, I will be reviewing the movie Morbius that is done by Columbia pictures in association with Marvel that is currently on Disney+. I will go over several topics in this episode. Michael Morbius is fighting a blood disease that will eventually kill him if he cannot find a treatment or a cure for it. He is not doing this for himself; he is also helping his friend Milo, whose real name is Lucian. Michael Morbius is encouraged by his doctor whose name is Dr. Emil Nicholas in Greece for him to go into medicine. This is important so that he can master his skills as a doctor. Michael Morbius is looking at vampire bats. This is true to his character as shown in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. The character of Michael Morbius is looking for a cure for blood disease. I will also make a comparison with this to leukemia as that is a cancer that attacks the blood. I hope this episode will inspire you to read, watch, and learn. Please help support the Channel and Newsletter Please consider signing up for Patreon, YouTube memberships, or purchasing stickers at the bottom of this video. If 10 or more people sign up for Patreon or YouTube memberships at $10 or higher, you will be rewarded items that are part of those memberships.

Thank you. Rest of Review and Rating of Marvel’s Morbius As was mentioned before, Michael Morbius is searching for a cure for his and his friend Milo’s blood disease. He hopes he can find a cure for it in vampire bats. This is very similar to Michael Morbius in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. Michael Morbius wants to help people with the plague. Michael Morbius hopes that the vampire bats will be the answer he is looking for. This will not be easy. In the beginning of the movie, Michael Morbius is down in Costa Rico, and he is hoping that the answer to his problem is there. Michael Morbius will cut his hand in to attract the bats to him. He is looking to get them transported from Costa Rico to his lab in New York City. Michael Morbius wants to help himself and his friend Milo feel better. He and his friend suffer from this blood disease. This is like Leukemia as well. What Leukemia does is do its worst damage to the blood marrow. This is where this cancer goes, and it makes it hard for the patient to produce the necessary red blood cells. As in the movie, that is what Michael Morbius needs to consume. He needs to consume human blood after he becomes a vampire. Michael will be encouraged to become a doctor thanks to his friend, Doctor Emil Nicholas. Michael fixed the machine that was meant to keep Milo alive. It had a problem and Michael fixed it. This shows how gifted and smart Michael Morbius is. Here is a screenshot of what Leukemia does. Leukemia is a broad term for cancers of blood cells. The type of leukemia depends on the type of blood cell that becomes cancer and whether it grows quickly or slowly. Leukemia occurs most often in adults older than 55, but it is also the most common cancer in children younger than 15. Michael Morbius will be in the hospital helping Anna, who is a young girl that is dealing with a blood disease like his and Milo. Dr. Martine Bancroft will be talking to Michael Morbius about what he is doing with the bats. She tells Anna that Doctor Morbius is in trouble. She tells Michael Morbius that you could lose your license. He tells her that we must do something different. I should have been dead years ago. Why am I not if not to fix this? They find out that the bat DNA he gives to the rat is successful. As stated earlier in the movie, Michael Morbius as a young boy, tells Milo there is something missing from our blood like a piece of a puzzle. That is why we must get an oil change as he calls it. It is like their bodies are not producing enough red blood cells. The machine that Michael Morbius fixes is meant to help them with that. This will lead Michael Morbius talking to his friend Milo about what he discovered. He told him that there is a cure. Milo was teasing him about Dr. Martine Bancroft and told him that you know that you love her and that there is no cure for that. You can tell there is chemistry between Martine and Michael. Michael Morbius is telling his friend Milo that they need to go on a ship, and it must be in international water. This experiment will break rules, and they need to do it there. Michael Morbius will be the test subject of this experiment, and he will use that to help himself and hopefully Milo to get cured of their blood disease. This is not going to be easy, but it is necessary for this to work. Michael Morbius gets the serum injected into his body by his friend Dr. Martine Bancroft. This is where he becomes a vampire. The head of the crew goes down to check it out. This is where Michael Morbius will bust out and he has become a vampire. It worked that it cured him of his disease, but it makes it so that he ends up wanting to consume human blood. Michael Morbius ends up killing them all after one of the crew hit Dr. Martine Bancroft into an object. She is knocked out and is not dead fortunately. Michael Morbius will change back once it is daylight. This is not uncommon to what Michael Morbius did in the 1990’s Spider-Man cartoon show. Michael Morbius ends up changing back once the sun comes up. He calls for help once he sees the footage from the video. He will wipe the footage clean. FBI agent Simon Stroud along with agent Rodriguez are looking to figure out what happened to these men. These men were drained of their blood as they find out on the ship. This will cause them to go to New York City to investigate what is going on the boat. They will talk to Dr. Martine Bancroft and have her look at the photos of the men that had their blood drained. She does not know what had happened since she got knocked out by one of those men. Rodriguez asks her, “Do those look like fang marks to you”. As you know, all vampires have fangs according to the myth of vampires. Michael Morbius realizes that he can do things that he could not do before. He realizes he must consume human blood. He drinks artificial blood in the refrigerator. He does not have a choice if he wants to be sure he does consume any more human blood. He also has bat radar which is a natural form of sonar. He can toss a ball and catch his eyes closed. This makes sense as bats are blind, but their other senses like their hearing are intensified. Milo comes to see Michael Morbius while he is dealing with being a vampire. Michael Morbius tells him that you do not want to take the serum. The serum has done something terrible to me. It is a curse. Michael Morbius means that the serum is a curse. This serum has caused him to become something he was not intended to be. He does not want that fate for Milo. Convincing Milo, that is another story. The story will prove it not to be true. The nurse that Michael Morbius works with ends up dead and he is the prime suspect. He is arrested by Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez who both work for the FBI. They have a joint task force with the NYPD. It is not uncommon for that to happen. A book review that I did for this channel called the Killer’s Game talks about the FBI and the NYPD working together, and that is known as a joint terrorism task force. To watch the review of A Killers Game, click on this link at . Both Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez tell Michael Morbius that they are not upset with killing those mercenaries on the ship. We are happy to have them off the chart. They are upset with Michael Morbius killing the nurse. What they do not know is that Michael Morbius did not kill her. Michael Morbius needs the artificial blood so that he does not kill anyone else. Michael Morbius is in detention lockup, and he meets his friend Milo claiming to be his attorney. As Milo tells him, this place is for drug lords and terrorists not for you. We need to get you out of here. As Michael Morbius finds out later that Milo took serum, and he knows this because Milo left his cane in Michael Morbius’ cell. Michael Morbius will break out of the cell and go after Milo. He tells Milo, I told you not to take the serum. Milo tells him why he should not have taken the serum. I do not want to get hurt all the time. Milo, unlike Michael Morbius has taken the life of being a vampire and he tells Michael Morbius, why should they not feel the pain for a change. It is the idea of a person wanting to make others feel what they feel or feel. Agent Simon Stroud and Agent Rodriguez of the FBI are searching for Michael Morbius. As Simon Stroud said, now he is laying down officers in my city. They are assuming it is Michael Morbius that is killing these people. They will later learn as they get a CCTV camera that Michael Morbius is not killing these people, it is a new guy. Michael Morbius will later go to Dr. Martine Bancroft and ask her for help to help him find a way to stop Milo. He tells her on a bus that Milo took the serum. I must stop Milo and I need your help to do it. Dr. Martine Bancroft has a cat and personally the cat is a nice touch. I loved how the cat meowed at her, trying to get her attention. It was talking to her. I have been a sucker for cats since I have had a cat. The movie will take the viewer through to the end of the story. It will get the viewer to the climax of the story that it is trying to tell. As not to be revealed, nothing more will be revealed here. I will give you, my rating. I give Morbi

    Morbius Movie Review and Why Spider-Man: No Way Home and Venom: Let there be Carnage should be on Disney+ coming soon
