Video Game
Ghost of Tsushima
Beauty and Japanese flutes is just the beginning as you make mince meat of Mongols while disappointing your Uncle. There are some really cool story beats that tear at your heart especially in the Iki island DLC.
Adventure
Movies
Mad Max: Fury Road
I have never seen the Mel Gibson Mad Max films, I know the story thought, and I won't after this. It is a very stylistic driving movie that he some really cool action, but lacks in any real substance as far as the movie. I know that that last statement is a VERY hot take as this movie is beloved.
Movies
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
This movie tried so hard to pull in every recall from previous movies, with the exception of Crystal Skull, that they could. People, lines, and story are all the same. I am immensely surprised that Harrison Ford agreed to do this movie. It isn't anything different.
Books
Project Hail Mary
"Project Hail Mary is a absolute fantastic book that scratches this deep nostalgia of being a kid and wanting to be an astronaut and scientist and so much more." With a blend of anxiety, suspense, joy, and surprise, Project Hail Mary is the best science fiction book you will ever read.
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
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.
Movies
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
This is another Guardians of the Galaxy movie. This isn't a Oscar winning movie for the acting, but was never meant to be. The music has always been good and the story giving some additional insight into those stories and characters that we love.
Movies
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Cheesy. Just like it was in the 90s and it is intentionally supposed to be that way and that is ok. If you have played any of the current video games or seen videos of them, you know that there is a fountain of blood and comic gore. This movie is right in line with that.
Movies
Monster Hunter
What an awful movie. Like I knew it was going to be bad, but there are some decent stars in it, but dear God they have to be broke to do this movie. Overall, the injuries the characters sustain have no lasting effect, apparently a minigun and a .50 Cal machine gun do NO DAMAGE to monsters.
TV
The Last of Us
Now this is how you turn a video game into TV Show/Movie. This show is spectacular. I honestly am trying to find some reason to point it out being bad, but it really is the exact opposite. It is almost perfect.
