“Wrath” provides a greatly satisfying ending to the season despite a few hiccups. Characters completely change who they are with little to no reasoning and it is ultimately a glorified Deus ex machina that saves the day. Despite any issues, “Wrath” ends on a high note that leads to a promising future of the show.

There were no duds at Frog Baby Film Festival 2018. From top to bottom, the lineup of short films was full of clever and enjoyable submissions in a wide range of genres and styles. The cowboy westerns, action and horror films, and dystopian comedies made it impossible to know what to expect next, and that’s not even to mention the categories for documentaries and music videos. The only thing these films had in common was that they all showcased the undeniable talent of Ball State’s own home-brewed filmmaking community.
Overall, the episode greatly improved in terms of pacing and development from the first episode of the season. Not only were new heroes shown off, but the series has created quite a build-up for the training at the summer camp. This episode has created a perfect set-up for viewers to anticipate action.
If you’re looking for a juicy piece of cinema to hold you over until the summer movie season starts up, 'Rampage' isn’t for you. However, if you’re a fan of things like the 'Sharknado' franchise or enjoy watching bad movies, it’s not a bad pick. It’s cheesy, it’s almost pulpy, and a perfect entry in the endless series of movies featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a jungle wearing what seems to be the only shirt he owns. Wait for the home release, though.
Overall, the album was not completely bad, just very mainstream sounding. If the listener is a die-hard fan, especially of their early 2000’s music, they may really enjoy some of these songs such as “Walk on Water” or “Rescue Me”. Though these songs sound like a reminiscent mainstream evolution of that, basically it as if they took the foundation of the songs, kept it, and changed the words. Great songs that stand out on this album are “Great Wide Open” and “Love is Madness” featuring Halsey. These represent either Leto’s strong vocal talents, strong features, or great instrumentals.
