The Continental
This miniseries is full of amazing fight scenes that make no sense, weapon damage that is beyond the realm of normality, and slower than the snail that has finally catching up to you.

Reacher
Where I think this show did a disservice to the books and character is not continuing the idea of the loner that he is. In the books, what makes him a what he is just a guy doing the Lord's work because he is in the wrong place at the wrong time.

S.W.A.T
Story isn't bad. Nothing crazy going on and honestly nothing unbelievable other than all the different gangs coming together in attempt to get him out. It looked like you had Mexican Cartel, Crips or Bloods (Maybe both), and Triads all working to save this guy. That was the crazy part.

The Bone Orchard
It took me so long to figure out how the character structures were as far as the main characters that you follow that I almost put it down. I am glad that I didn't as it was an interesting read, but it could have been so much more.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
It is Call of Duty game. If you watch the video above, I am just playing through some of the horror portion and the number of times that I nearly jumped out of my skin is crazy. The rest of the game is nothing different. Decent gun fighting and equipment.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
I remember this book being my least favorite as a kid and after going through it this time, it isn't as bad as I remember it. I think as an adult I can see the growth and the importance of the character interactions. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ...

The 355
I love Jessica Chastain. She is an outstanding actress. This movie isn't any different from her other ones with one notable exception that plagues the entire movie and the rest of the cast. Everyone is dumb and there is no character growth that isn't a joke.

Agatha All Along
This was an absolutely surprising show. I am not mad at any of the acting and the setting is really good. They do this weird thing where if you really want to pay attention you can tell that it is this technique of a painted background. However, it is painted in a way that it looks far away.

Alien Movie Anthology
Overall, I enjoyed the story (Not you Resurrection). There is action, jump scares, a creeping feeling, and just some either outstanding effects or just abysmal effects. If you include Alien3 and Resurrection, this series is only a 6. However, ...

Alien
This movie may be a classic, but in 2024, it feels slow and overly quiet. The story and practical effects hold up, but the lack of engaging sound design makes it feel lifeless. While it's iconic for the genre, the pacing and suspense don't hit as hard as they once did.

Grand Theft Auto V
I played this when it first came out in 2013. I worked at GameStop part-time during the holidays while I was active duty and was able to see the rush this game had on the world. I VIVIDLY remember a mom not paying attention to what game her young son had picked up and was about to buy it ...

Alaqua Cox has done an outstanding job on this character and her stunt work was fantastic. The inclusion of the Choctaw people and their heritage was so well done to provide history and depth without being forceful, overbearing, or dragging it out.
