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.

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.
