TV
The Witcher
Geralt, The White Wolf, tackles monsters, mages, and all other manners of creatures fighting evil… lesser, greater, middling. It's all the same. If I have to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.

TV
Secret Invasion
Look lets be honest. This show did not do well and for good reason. It was entertaining, but was all filler episodes for the next big movie. They should have left it as a movie like it was originally pitched, because the TV show did not do it.
Movies
Kandahar
I know that I originally thought that this was going to be a closer plot to The Covenant, but I was so wrong. While yes it is about the translator and their ability to know the area, but nothing close to same depth of that story.
Movies
Clear and Present Danger
This movie did not age well. The Jack Ryan series just finished when I watched this and with that in mind I was showing my wife other Jack Ryan movies and this was the first one on the list because the scene of the sniper doing the stalk showed up on social media so I wanted to watch it.
TV
Jack Ryan
This is one of my favorite shows. John Krasinski is an outstanding actor and this show is really one of the primer examples of that. The entire team does such an amazing job that it is really a disappointment that this show has ended.
Movies
Tenet
Christopher Nolan. I am not sure if this dude thinks in the same manner as other humans. From this to Interstellar, Inception, or Batman, these movies are so crazy that you have to pay attention to them. No watching your phone. So, put down your phone, turn off the lights, and watch this movie.
Movies
Olympus has Fallen
I watched this movie in theaters when it first came out and the invasion of the White House was hard to watch then. After my years in service, it is still hard to watch and even more so since I know those stairs and hallways.
Movies
Without Remorse
Can Michael B. Jordan play any other character?! Between this, Black Panther, and Creed, the character is just a different back story for the same dude. Its good, but damn he is a one-trick pony. The movie is a standard Tom Clancy film. Action, subplot, suspicion, and trade craft.
Movies
The Mechanic
I enjoy this movie. It's simple, sets up a great universe that honestly the John Wick universe could be a part of in respect of this shadow hitman world. Jason is surround by half measures and is type cast so he doesn't flex his muscles, pun intended, too much.
Books
The Bourne Trilogy - A comparison between the books and movies
The themes do not change, assassin who lost his memory meets a woman who helps him and they fall in love. The second book there is a massive change in the story as far as location, but someone claiming to be him still is there. Then in book three it comes back to being basically the same theme.
Books
Game of Thrones (TV and Books)
The story is wonderful. Very full, rich, and deep of background. The descriptions of the politics and the back and forth is so twisty and turning that some of the scenes are still talked about as the biggest surprises around, for instance: The Red Wedding, Death of Sean Bean, and others.
Movies
Plane
A decent movie overall, even though it is for sure a B rated movie. Gerard Butler is always a force to be dealt with when he is in the movie. This movie also has Remi Adeleke who wrote Transformed as one of the support forces. The story is forced, but the action is really good.
