Movies The Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy The Ring of Power is found and throws the world into chaos once again after centuries of relative peace from the forces of evil. The Fellowship ebbs and wanes against those forces as they work to get Sam and Frodo to Mt. Doom to destroy the ring.
Movies The Day After Tomorrow This movie is weirdly entertaining. It is so over the top that you kinda forget that you are being forced into this political movie. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal do a great job at playing their parts.
Movies The Gentlemen What an underrated, below the radar movie. It has done well enough to have a tv show named the same, which is what caused me to watch this movie to see if I wanted to see the TV show. I've seen this movie before and even years later still feel that it is a drag to get through.
Movies Assassin's Creed This movie should not have gotten the hatred that it got. It does a great job of adding to the story from the Assassin's Creed games. There is no sense of fear or why other than an ancient myth. It is like the story about a McDonalds and Taco Bell employees fighting each other.
Movies The Beekeeper This is an action movie with no substance that will bring you a lot of entertainment. John Wick meets Jason Bourne is the best description I can give you for Jason Statham in this movie. He is brutal and aggressive and its awesome. This is the "Bee"-rated version.
Movies Land of Bad What an outstanding movie. Liam Hemsworth really bulked up for this movie. I was concerned about him taking over as Geralt for but after this, I do not have those concerns The entire cast has a great sarcastic rhythm that plays into years of chemistry
Movies London has Fallen I have no idea how this movie was given a 25% from Rotten Tomatoes and audiences gave it a 50%. What this movie and Olympus Has Fallen do really well is setup the story with action that pulls at your heart strings.
Movies Gladiator This is an oldy but a goody. Russell Crowe does an amazing job for a completely historically inaccurate movie. So I was watching this and guess it was the extended version because I saw some scenes I have NEVER seen before. I agree they should have removed them as they just really slowed down
Movies The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare This movie is way funnier than it should be. Alan Ritchson and Henry Cavill play so well off of each other for this comedic moments, there are times you'd think it was a comedy rather than an action movie. You wouldn't be wrong though, it is a comedy.
TV Halo I am going to get ahead and tell you that my review will be a hot take for super fans of the books/games. Him taking off his helmet is NOT THAT BIG A DEAL! Also, Pablo Schreiber does an amazing job of being Master Chief.
TV Fallout If you like the Fallout games, you will love this show. There is a lot of dumb humor that you would get in the game, outright gory weapon violence, and some surprising emotional beats.
TV Shogun The start of this show is slow. However, Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki are simply putting on a clinic to whomever aspires to be in Hollywood. I cannot express to you how amazing their performance was.
Movies Sisu This movie is crazy. I knew the John Wick folks were involved, but they did not leave anything on the table. The story is simple telling only what needs to be told and nothing else. Legitimately, in the entire movie there is probably 200 - 300 words spoken.
Movies Transformers: Rise of the Beast I thought this was going to be on the same level as the newer ones and while those are bad, this one somehow manages to dig itself lower. The voice acting is probably the best thing, where the writing basically written by a 6 year old telling you a story.
Movies Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom I am so mad at how dumb this movie is. Scene stolen from Star Wars, the Cantina line and the Jabba the Hut intro scene, the characters from Street Sharks, and lastly "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". It was corny, bro-y, and just over the top stupid.
Movies The Marvels This movie was ok, but so full of plot holes that even to the most enamored, it doesn't make sense. The fight scenes are lazy and short, the story is half complete, and it just feels rushed and CGI heavy.
Movies John Wick Series This has to be the best series I have ever watched with consistency. Great music and great fight scenes that you know took a lot of time to put together. Without thinking about it, I am giving the series a 9. It is the best series I have ever watched and hope that Ballerina lives up to it
Movies Blade Runner 2049 The shots in this movie are awesome. From the desert storms, the big cities, the San Diego trash sites, and to the giant digital display of Joii is just so good. This is a masterclass of blending CGI with practical effects.
Movies Blade Runner My major complain for a similar movie, Alien was that the quiet pieces were just too quiet. This movie doesn't have that issue. The music feels and adds so much to this movie that I am 90% sure it fueled music for games like Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Movies Windtalkers The actions scenes are either epic and awesome, or predictable, over the top, and boring. This was prime you never run out of ammo timeframe. They do reload, but Nicolas Cage seems to be carrying 6000 rounds of .45 for his Thompson. It is crazy.
Movies Dune Part One I wish I could explain to you how many times I have watched this and am just now, in November 2024, realizing I never wrote a review for this. I have tagged it in my system as watched, but never reviewed. Let me correct that egregious mistake.
TV 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.
Video Game 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.
TV Echo 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.
Video Game Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint What kills both of these games is the size of the map. Wildlands already felt big being that it is 625 sq kilometers, but Breakpoint is outrageously large at 2500 sq kilometers. While there is a ton of different vehicles to use from planes, helicopters, motorcycles, and a verity of other
