Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)

Well Marvel you ain't dead yet because Deadpool saved you!!

[9/10 · 16 October 2024]

What can I say to a movie that has made billions. How, possibly could my voice make any difference?

Strap on your seat belts babby!! Cause, Deadpool saved Marvel's dying brand!!

After, much death and decay of the debacle of the Multiverse. And the horrendous Ms Marvel's, She-Hulk, What-if ( yeah I said it), Falcon(boring), Black Widow( sucked). Deadpool SAVED this franchise with a special guest...to slice and dice Wolverine ( Jackman will never leave this character) both bring in such well written banter; fight scenes and blood and gore that brings to shame every Japanese samuri warriors films to shame. Bringing in characters( like that was excellent) from across decades and plots made one tear up!!

Children of Dune (2003)

Excellent version of Dune series

[9/10 · 13 October 2024]

It's been over twenty years since this story of Dune cane out!! Allow, me to say I did watch this SYFY channel series when it came out. My deepest respects to the actorAlec; he was all of the cable TV versions. He truly brought out the "essence" of Paul Atriedes!! His transformations are excellent and highly appreciated!! Rewatching his acting; shows the audience he is truly truly underated!underrated!! The Children of Dune: AGAIN showcased a very young Leto II Mcovy was absolutely STELLAR!! The soundtrack reflected the emotions of a empire dying and being reborn through the storylines of the groups vying for power. And adding Krige, Sarandon and the other actors has brought a lasting Dune legacy.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

NO MORE MAD MAX PLEASE!!!

[5/10 · 26 May 2024]

How can I express how awful this film is? So. Allow. Me to jump right in!! At first this film actually at the very beginning had promise with the storyline. Child, kidnapped and her heroic mother goes after the band of misfits and mayhem. Hemsworth looked like a Thor reject and seemly wanted to go into that character but remembered he was the actually villian. How sad. Joy actually gave a pretty decent performance. While mute during the majority of this awful film. Yes. Yes, it's the end of the world in Australia. And usually leaders are born. But, truly caught my attention was this. Leather and heat do not go together along with sand. No pun intended. If the world is going out like this film least push the red button now for a reset.

Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)

Eye candy without any substance

[3/10 · 4 May 2024]

Zack. Why did this obvious well meaning series fall so flat? Let me say. The cinema photography is good!! The costumes, the well thought out scenes and sequence was timed with one wanting more. However, well good intentions cannot bring a film to a status of excellence which could elevate to even a cult level for fans to gush over for years!! And that's why it didn't work. Film making needs to go deep into character substance and a storyline that brings the main character to a heroine with the emotional backing for the fans to delve into whether it's in space or on even on a regular timeliness. Looking good, without depth of the belief of this series storyline. Certainly there are good points, but sigh let one holding a empty popcorn bag with great marketing. And marketing syfy movies into a two partier without a stream of believable story. Everyone in Hollywood go back to studying storyline.

Dune: Part Two (2024)

Syfy Excellence!!!!!

[10/10 · 3 March 2024]

As a fan of syfy and basically read Herbert's books and his sons prequels and continued stories of Dune. This 2nd film far exceeded my imagination!! Granted the original Lynch film is STILL a cult for Dune. This adaptation is noted as grand, well written script, beautifully done cinematography; also the development of dialogue construction is sheer perfection and adding performance of the actors. How does a underdog become the hero and messiah of a planet? By going deep into character and emotion;in other words having the viewer believe they are the messiah and understanding the flaws, the soulful depth and pain of that character!! This film is now the mark the epilogue of cinematic excellence. I was truly happy to sit through the shifting of this magnificent version of Dune.

The Ancient Magus' Bride (2017–2023)

A++++Anime currently

[9/10 · 8 January 2024]

This series is above the rest on the market!!! Great storyline!! Great plot!! Fabulous visuals!! Beautifully written..It's magic. High magic through a mythical creature named Elias. His story background is nothing existing on any platform for cinema summary. What makes this show A+ ..is the storyline of a mythical human with such magical aspects she is revered on all spiritual realms. Chise her character has had such traumatized childhood and its written with such excellence that every MCU and DC screenwriters need to request to sit these gifted energy!! Every episode is graced with gifted GOLD!

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

Tom Cruise is the man!!

[9/10 · 16 July 2023]

This film is totally Tom Cruise the actor and action hero. From start to finish. This storyline is the sum accumulation of the mission impossible layers of how the hierarchy of spies, disavowed and double agents financed by black ops. Now, a greater threat has appeared. AI has infiltrated all technology and agendas. It's so corrupt it uses humans as pawns on a chest board. When the final battle is unveiled. Cruise, knows the game of layered plots and subplots to keep the viewer intrigued and entertained. The action scenes are well choreographed but needed editing in some spaces. But, otherwise the film goes back to what's important. Loyalty. Friendship. Thank you Tom for that.

The Lying Life of Adults (2023)

Excellent Film!!!

[8/10 · 22 January 2023]

This series is spellbinding. The narrative of coming of age is been done, but not like this series. It's filled with passion, loss, betrayals and pain. Director Angelis takes you on a journey that is exacting in adult hypocrisy concerning life and the chasms of growing up. The aunt played by Valeria Golino, spectacular performance as a jaded woman who lives her life fully but with pain brings her niece played by Giordana Marengo, who by the way is the female Timothy Chalamet brings a freshness to her role as tormented teenage figuring out her loyalties. Netflix did a wonderful job on this one.

White Noise (I) (2022)

Woody Allen film tribute

[7/10 · 1 January 2023]

The great American middle class with Jack and Barbette is actually a tribute to Woody Allen. The opening of "White Noise" with cultural idioms showcasing; the decline and actual decadence and privilege of American lifestyle revolving around a,college namely apt on the hill with Adam Driver leading actor: is a culmination of Woody Allen's films in the seventies and eighties. Actors indirectly speaking to the audience with dialog and text that allows the viewers to engage in the sceneries and characters. The quirky students and the children's observations of surrealism and humor. Well written film.

The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)

Not bad!!! Fantasy story

[6/10 · 26 December 2022]

This show is not that bad!! The clans, of the elves are told decently. The story has the same rhythm as the Witcher. Storylines blended with characters that wre well fleshed out with their clan names. Corruption, power and magic makes this a true fantasy show.

Elves are just as petty as humans. And even more so, with territory wars.

The problem was to place this show in line with the Witcher. When ot should have been standing alone as fantasy. But, some folks got greedy. And attempted to ride off that show.

Michelle Yeoh, well..she held up her end on performance and character. I rate 6 overall.

Blade of the 47 Ronin (2022)

Ronin legacy is bad

[3/10 · 30 October 2022]

Okay. My hopes were shot after 45 minutes into this mess with the 47 Ronin title. Immediately I unliked this film on Netflix and wished my vision will never be subjected to such trash film work again.

Set in the current future. This storyline could have been great!! They had a background: samauri new and old. Witches and ninjas!! How can they messed this up?

There are way too many animae Mangas and stories out there with great writers that this film should have at least invested in.

The main character the last line was completely awful abd couldn't act her way out of a paperbag. Supporting cast completed this awful film. And. The seer. Now this character should have been much better written abd acted. Too bad. Gets a grade F.

Clash of the Titans (I) (2010)

Summer movie that delivered

[8/10 · 11 September 2022]

After, rewatching this movie. It deserves eight stars. Why? Because after watching the most recent Amazon fantasy series which shall be nameless; this movie has great effects, storyline, and decent acting by the finest British, United Kingdom and Sam Worthington wasn't too bad. The action scenes were choreographed pretty well. Being a demigod didn't bring much peeks for the main character but it showed that courage, bravery and determination will win at the end of day. The God's were losing. And man decided to live out their lives without them. This greek tale was told with great actors with a storyline that was not too weak since this was played during the summer season.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022– )

Give this show a try

[6/10 · 5 September 2022]

Well the show is here!! It's not a Peter Jackson film, but that's okay! It's a adaptation. It's a show that's nit made with a A list production. However, it has potential and the cast truly isn't that bad. We have gotten SPOILED on getting a high production due to games on X box. I grew up on C or D syfy movies 🎬 Abd they have a cult following. This adaptation will have following until Peter Jackson gets up does another version backed by A list production. It's slow, dialogs can be sharper written. And the editing.. well. But, it's a,good story. And the location shots are breathtaking to say the least. Tolkien wouldn't mind this version. More fans will buy his books and start up fan groups.

Tekken: Bloodline (2022)

Strong story

[8/10 · 23 August 2022]

What a loved about this show is the "unbeatable " motto. Jin, the main character develops being a warrior samuri motto of being good and doing what's makes one strong. One has to balance these qualities and this series does a very good job showing this. It makes one crave more episodes!!!

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

THORS ADORE 😘

[9/10 · 11 July 2022]

Hello!! Thank you, Thor for the grand return and mayhem. The storyline was not perfectly crafted. Yet! It held my interest; the deep soul searching for Thor and him meeting Jan after so many years after the Thor II film. The film is fast past- and Zeus could have worked out a little for this movie but oh well!! It's all in contemplating for Thor but tragic for Bale as the God killer. So may plots to this film. They could have trimmed it a bit and tightened the storylines.

Yet!! The movie came out with the fans loving Thor. I highly suggest it. And. I bet later on on. I expect a fan directors cut to come out. 😉

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

Tighten this show up please!!

[4/10 · 10 June 2022]

Obi-wan has impressive history and backdrop to make this series an A+. However, it's already JUST relying on the fan base anticipated wait to push this slow train forward. It's feel and emotion is plastic and riding off weak lines, weak story plots!! Don't get me wrong. The cast, is good but the see through fake lackluster is killing the vibe!! Get into this story, please writers and producers with the same enthusiasm as the fans!! Give us, sustenance and plain power on this show!! Come on!! Blast off wirh Vader and give Obi-wan his powers back with a kick to make one feel like this show is fresh and plain good old awe as the first Star Wars movie. Otherwise, just box this up. And make it into another Clone War animae.

The Matrix Resurrections (I) (2021)

Terrible movie. Waste of cast.

[5/10 · 3 January 2022]

Okay. This movie bombed!! Worse 2021 movie EVER.

The first part, was decent with the merging of old code with flashbacks. However, the plot was made up as it went. Fishing for some symbolize of story telling and characters!! But why was this cast, yes even the main stars; Keanu and his co-star made to feel like middle aged outcast in a,movie that should have empowered and enriched not only the casts; new and established.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy (2020–2024)

The best series

[10/10 · 26 November 2021]

I quite frankly thought this show would suck. But, from episode 1 on I was hooked!!! A demon with such inner confidence and power that he literally took on the importer and the creepy religious cult class that waited on his this character's reincarnation to eliminate his existence.

Well he had other plans. Good show!! Hope to see another season.

NCIS: Hawai'i (2021–2024)

Strong lead roles and story line.

[8/10 · 26 November 2021]

Hey, I know folks don't like this show. However, I truly like it!! I love Tennant's character and leadership.

The writers needed to tighten up the banter but otherwise, the show is culturally eye opening and good!

The White Lotus (2021– )

Almost a success

[4/10 · 21 September 2021]

Stellar casting. But, that was not enough to save this series of jumbled stories of the " ugly American " on the beautiful scenic view of Hawaii. It's, perversion could be pulled off with the cast and costars.

Pandora (2019–2020)

Grade D Syfy

[5/10 · 12 December 2020]

Listen. If one is going to do low budget space series, at least attempt to make it interesting and believable. That's the formula. This series is unbearable. Even with its pretty cast. Its, so awful that it cannot even fall into a cult bracket. Shameful waste, of time, talent and filming.

Charmed (2018–2022)

Show needed better cast of witches.

[5/10 · 5 December 2020]

When, this show came out, I had high hopes! Witches..who can have a fantastic following, due to the pagan communities. However, my anticipation was literally removed,once the cast came into play. Sigh. Worst cast ever; except for Everett; the brit white lighter. Now, I will give high recommendations, to the writers! The plots and storyline are...decent. But, the three sisters are gagg awful. It made me deeply appreciate the original Charmed show. Whimsical, goofy, but watchable. The first Season towards the end, storyline got interesting!! 2nd season I love the demon/witch character, " I could do a Ted talk on division " or something to that effect! The actress, who played in Shannara Chronicles brought cred. But, the show suffers, from the cast. Maybe, season 3 will bring hope.

The Night Clerk (2020)

Hitchcock 2020

[6/10 · 3 July 2020]

This movie reminds of the Hitchcock film classic, Bates Motel but the lead actor unlike the original classic film in black and white are similar in vein. Its, pace is like the classic noir films of the 60's, it draws you in and has sweet, emotions for the main characters. This film is a salute to those films. It also reminds one if David Lynch's early films. Combining, strange, broken characters who's lives are lonely and odd. This film should have been shot totally in black and white and after reflection, Brian De Palma should have directed it.

Babylon 5 (1993–1998)

BAB 5 still going strong

[9/10 · 1 September 2019]

I have always been a fan of BAB 5. I have just finished watching all of the episodes during a "binge" watch and I gladly date myself and gladly still have in my heart great admiration of the story, cast, special effects and the well written characters. I am sadden that the certain main characters have passed on; however BAB 5 will out live many with its unique science fiction plots and wisdom to know that all good things do end, but are reborn with each new fan.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

Waited 5 years to watch lol!

[9/10 · 23 May 2019]

First things first. Captain America was not one of my Avengers to watch. But, after watching Endgame my opinion greatly changed. This movie, shows grit, action and great screen writing. There are no flaws in this plot. American hero, with amazing ethics and ...integrity. Robert Redford character floored me; people, certain people are watched monitored and are eliminated to have a better controlled society ...Hydra. abd an ex Hydra scientist downloaded his consciousness to assist in the black op government. Captain confronting Nick Fury and finally meeting his childhood friend who was now a Hydra agent. The battle was done well in this movie. And the new friendships emerged. Greatly enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it as part of the Avenger collection .
