The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Adar (2022)
So far the greatest show EVER!
Everyone from the Dinglers to Gamdarfon have been spot on in this very literal adaptation, as a competently made, acted, cast and written streaming show for new and old fans of JK Tolkiens work. I've never seen God, but I imagine it looks like Amazon's Rings of Power in this episode. Not only is the story moving so fast it will make your head spin like a Miltanite diving off the cliffs of Nimbobusa, it's getting alot of mileage out of the Condosordian-Hulmapper conflict set up in the original book for which this is based on. Jim Tolkien himself said, "this show is so hip and sexy, so throw some flap jacks on the bumper dun, buckle up and YEE HAW! Those crazy nutters at Amazon DID IT! Now if they only include my Harfootin Boogie song I wrote, I can die even happier! Janice! (JKs wife) go get me another butterbeer you delicious peach, and put some stank on it!" If it's good enough for Ol' Tokester, it's good for all mankind.
Game Changer (2022)
Funny and Heartwarming Film
Game Changer is a new classic, in the vein of The Sandlot, Little Big Leauge, Rookie of the Year, The Rookie, Major League and Major League 2 except this is the only baseball film to show you that a little (or sometimes ALOT) of faith is all you need to overcome your ego, clumsiness, diabetes and a pending court case in which the judge sentences you to 90 days in jail for speeding unless you can teach a motley crew of middle schoolers how to win on the field...and off...or are they teaching him?
A very funny and heartwarming film with a wonderful comedic turn from Joel DeVisser as Jordan Gabriel, a meat head hunk of a quarterback whose on the verge of signing his biggest contract ever. That is until he speeds and the judge offers him an ultimatum, go to jail for 90 days and lose his new contract signing or coach a team of middle schoolers to the championship baseball game! What would you do?
With the help of his team of underachievers, the diabetic kid's mom, the evil judge (or is he?) and Tim, Jordan just might hit a home run with what little faith remains in him after his dad (Cobb International Film Fest Award Winner Corbin Bernsen) walked out on him as a kid to become one of the greatest pitchers of all time. If he could only avoid falling off tables, walking into wooden posts and getting hit in the groin with helmets, and realize it's not what's in front of him, but what he's forgotten above him that will guide him home and keep him out of jail for 90 days for speeding.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Adrift (2022)
The Rings Have the Power
Having only seen 30 or so minutes of the first episode before turning it off, I've got to say ROP is AMAZING. Gongleflim is spot on, ripped straight from the pages of Tolkien's original epic films. The elks are magical, although I'm not sure why they dyed Orlando Blooms hair (can't wait to see how he gets his hunting bow and flaming arrows!). The quest to the Mountain of Shrilm feels as if I'm reading it and watching it at the same time (again, just like in the original ROP where I felt I was watching it as I was reading it). Fancy the hobbits? Well they're back too, no sign of Frodo yet, but I think I spotted him as one of the younglings in the scene with the trap doors and woodland Dinglers (and yes, the Dinglers are as frightening as ever!). I hope the second half of episode one is as explosive as the first. Some say Tolkien would be rolling over in his grave, if he is it's to grab a mug of Middle Earth Butterbeer and enjoy the rest of his and Amazon's achievement.
