Predator 2 4k
Aliens in the city. Purchased on iTunes, migrated to Movies Anywhere and watched on my roku via the FandangoNOW app. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this one and didn’t have much memory of anything that happened in it, other than the ending where Glover was gifted a pistol from the council of Predators. It doesn’t hold up as well as the original Predator due to the dystopian city it’s set in, and the supposed time frame of “the near future” of 1997, where drug lords and gangs are in open warfare while the police chief is busy...
Predator 4k
Aliens in the jungle. Purchased on iTunes, migrated to Movies Anywhere and watched on my roku via the FandangoNOW app. The process of buying the movie was relatively easy and unpainful. That being said: The movie: nostalgia has a great way of making everything great. I love this movie, but not because it’s a great film, but because I thought it was a great film when I was 8 and saw it for the first time. I don’t apologize for that. The presentation: the 4k copy was washed out and audio was all over the place. Was that my device’s...
The Florida Project
Set on a stretch of highway in a budget motel managed by Bobby (a career-best Willem Dafoe), just outside the imagined utopia of Disney World, The Florida Project follows 6-year-old Moonee and her rebellious mother over the course of a single summer. Many people live just a couple paychecks away from living like this, I know many of them and but for the grace of god, they get to live in their own homes with their own families. William Dafoe is absolutely fantastic as the motel manager and I get the impression that the cameras were on the kids a...
Surprising no one, Comcast is still incompetent and deceitful
Comcast just emailed me a courtesy reminder that I’m about to hit my bandwidth limit. To which I reply, my what? you didn’t mention that at all when signing me up, and 1tb seems…low. They have a page that shows all sorts of incorrect download stats, hilariously so when ti comes to streaming movies, they say I could watch streams for 21 hours a day for the entire month and not hit the limit, but i’m pretty sure I’m using about 10gigs an hour with the 4k streams that I’m using.
Jurassic Park
Genetically engineered dinosaurs run amok at a tycoon’s island amusement park. Based on Michael Crichton’s novel. It was in 4k, so I bought it again? Not much to really crow about, the 4k was not terribly noticeable, but it was still a fun movie.

The Dragon Prince
An extraordinary discovery inspires two human princes and an elven assassin to team up on an epic quest to bring peace to their warring lands. A familiar storyline with familiar voices, I still loved every moment of it. This series fills a specific Avatar shaped hole in my heart and highly suggest it.
