Black Friday
By the title, and the lack of publicity I was expecting a super low budget, terribly acted, badly directed horror film. What I got, was a clever, corny and fun horror comedy with some great actors.
DetailsMasters of the Universe: Revelation Part Two
This series gives depth and complexity to what was generic two-dimensional characters and does so with a compelling storyline with magic and adventure. And Yes! He-Man plays a major role in it!
DetailsCowboy Bebop (2021)
There is a certain magic captured in the source material, and we see glimpses of sparkle here and there in the live action, with similar tones and themes, it just doesn’t have the “soul” of the original, but it may have its own spirit.
DetailsStar Trek Discovery
Kobayashi Maru, the title of the first episode of season four, not only relates to the episodes story, but I am sure it foreshadows the difficult choices that the Discovery’s crew and Captain are going to face in the episodes to come.
DetailsFinch
This movie is really about the relationship that builds between a misanthropic man, who even before the cataclysm, didn’t work well with others, and a childlike robot.
DetailsWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Not only did he have the correct balance between reality and zany manic energy, but there is a subtle dark humor that was portrayed to perfection.
DetailsRagdoll
A body consisting of body parts from six separate victims is discovered, and later, DS Rose receives a list with six new names on it, including his own, alluding that a new “Ragdoll” is being constructed.
DetailsThe Lost Symbol
Even if you aren’t a fan of the movies or the books, you still get a sense that Robert Langdon is a very intelligent young man and that his brain holds vast knowledge about symbols and their meanings.
DetailsThe Eternals
There is a lot of care and heart in the movie, and for beings that have lived for thousands of years, they have found a kind of humanity, that most humans are missing.
DetailsThe Wheel of Time
The visual aspect of this series is just stunning. The very locations are beautiful and keep with the communing with nature theme that from what I understand is part of the books.
DetailsArmy of Thieves
The movie has some nice elements. The music is expertly composed and accents the film nicely without being overwhelming. The imagery and cinematography are gorgeous, and the characters are all well performed and endearing.
DetailsStar Trek: Prodigy
The youth in the majority of the cast, will make the series more relatable to the target audience, and all the characters were interesting and empathetic. There was a lot of good action scenes and some well placed levity throughout.
