Entertainment Avenue: Supergirl Promises all the blockbuster highs! Official Promotional Movie Poster featuring Milly Alcock as Supergirl/Kara Zor-EL. DC Studios/Warner Bros  We've been waiting for a proper Supergirl movie, the CW brought us a good TV series led by Melissa Benoist and after spending time as Superman's sidekick she's finally owning it and killing it. Female superheroes hardly get a chance to thrive as it's either they are paired with a male character who somehow steals the spotlight or is made to feel like a duet when it's a solo.  James Gunn (And Peter Safran)  is bringing the big guns alright, Milly Alcock 's casting as Supergirl was first announced back in January 2024 and while some had lukewarm reactions to this movie, overtime it created a compelling hype especially with the storyline based on a famous comic book storyline; Woman Of Tomorrow by Tom King Bilquis Evely and the inclusion of Lobo who is a fan favourite set to be ...

Pop Essentials: Lea Michele - Cue The Rain  Official Artwork. Columbia Records   2014 was a great year for music with great and timeless editions to an ever increasing library of must have hits! Lea Michele dropped her debut studio album Louder which had writing credits from Sia , Tove Lo , Matt Rad , Christina Perri and herself to name a few. It definitely was a jungle of pop music as it stepped into folk, EDM and very adventurous with an almost classical take for a youthful appeal.  Cue the Rain is a hard hitting ballad that showcases her vocal chops, it takes you on a thrilling high like a firework launched into the sky and beautifully explodes. The verses give you the chills as she gets confrontational as she sings "how many times have I driven this road on my way home? It's always the same" it's just a gripping opening and the song never gets dull, intensifying with an epic post chorus which is an outstanding highlight on this record.  @leamiche...

Entertainment Avenue: Superman, He's Back, Bright & Bold. Official Promotional Poster. DC Studios  Superman has been widely known as an action packed hero who often wasn't brooding or on the cheerful side of life, more of a very nonchalant figure who saves the day and flees the scene. While there have been variations of the character to stretch the story and explore creative writing and reimagining, it all goes back to the original that set the overall tone of heroic identity. We've had Superman movies throughout the years featuring prominent actors that brought their own touch to the man of tomorrow. It's always fun when you have an actor that made this comicbook character extra special for you from Kirk Alyn to Christopher Reeve and to Henry Cavill then to David Corenswet who at first received a mixed reception only for fans to give him a nod of approval. The franchise got a reboot and don't we all hate those? James Gunn stepped in and gave Su...
