Another Life (2019)
Rough start
Omg, what I don't like about this movie is the crew's characters. I don't understand why a bunch of whinny unprofessionals would be picked for a mission of this magnitude. So cringy worthy.😑However, I sat through it and watched the whole season and now can't wait to see what happens in season 2. The CGI is ok, Katie Sackhoff acting is good. Hopefully, the ships crew will grow up in season 2. The show gets better. It just had a rough start.
Lovecraft Country (2020)
Clean slate review
I've never heard of Lovecraftian horror, Matt Ruff or the other author reviewers are complaining about. Im viewing this TV show with no expectations or preconceptions of how I think this show should be. That said. I love this series. Yes episode 1 was a bit slow however I feel it did justice in allowing us to the and feel the backdrop these characters are placed in or coming from. It gives dept to the show. After episode 1 things started to happen creepily and nicely paced. I cant wait to see the next episodes.
The Wheel (2019)
Aight movie on a lazy day
Interesting storyline, bad acting. The screenwriting needed a little help too. It wasn't indept, action ok, CGI decent and the movie moved along at a steady pace. I was able to continue watching the movie because of the interesting storyline. I wasn't disappointed.
Charmed (2018)
Not the Original which is refreshing
Back in the day it took me a few episodes of the original show to peek my interest, after
that I was hooked and looked forward to sunday nights. Like the original show, this one isn't great television. However, I still enjoyed the show back then and when i saw it on Netflix i sat and binge watched the series over again. Even got my mom and daughter to as well. Some fans feel that if it strays from the original it's not true to "original material" if it does everything exactly like the original its a rip off and lazy writing. If i would have relied only on the bad reviews i would have missed out on this diamond in the rough. I feel people should watch a few more episodes before rating. After episode 3 it starts to make its own mark. It's up to date with our current political climate. (for some a little pushy.) I like the story lines and the acting. My favorite character so far is the white lighter. I look forward to more episodes.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
10 Stars
I've been a star trek fan for over 20 yrs and truly enjoyed this new reboot of the franchise. The acting , visuals and action was awesome. This film allowed the actors to shine. We also get to see Kirk mature in this movie. I do have a couple of gripes. #1 the change in appearance of the Klingon's and the fact that since they are about to go to WAR so why was there appearance in the movie was small. I assume- thats for the next movie. Next Khan in the original was Asian from my recollection this khan was English even though Spock in the first reboot of the series changed the time line khan with a totally Asian name in my opinion should have stayed Asian. Btw the English khan acting was great. Lastly, the radiation scene was lame. I think they could have developed the Bro-mance differently without all the tears. I think the tears should have come after a few more Star trek reboot movies where kirks and Spock's relationship is more developed(at least for the new fans) following the radiation scene everything was predictable. Overall i enjoyed this film and has since watched it several times bought the blue ray and added it to my collection.
RED 2 (2013)
excellent
Loved it! Has just enough action comedy and great acting to keep me interested. The movie started with action and ended with action.The fight scenes were decent not a bunch of gory blood and guts. It was interesting to see how Bruce Willis relationship was progressing since RED. The banter between the characters was a bit predictable. The story line was vague at first i suspect on purpose then came together only to keep you on edge with more plots and twists to the story. Anthony Hopkins did a good job and was a great addition to the story line i wished Morgan Freeman showed up. Overall i enjoyed the movie. I hear there is a three coming out can't wait!
