A young group of cadets come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they will discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself. I often thought this series was gorgeous, particularly the spaceship content, but it was still wrapped in the visual style of Star Trek: Discovery, with overly reflective floors, walls, and air. The stories were much better than Disco, but the first season was...
Inspired by true events, this is the story of how Rocco Siffredi escaped a humble life and emerged as the world’s greatest porn star. There’s a few surprising things about this mini series, the most surprising is that it was made at all. Rocco Siffredi’s a pretty well known European adult entertainer, but I didn’t think he was big enough to warrant a Netflix mini series. It’s well enough made to be worth checking out if you’ve enjoying seeing him work, but it’s not in English, so you can choose to either read some subtitles or enjoy the dubbed version,...
Odo enjoying a large box. A huge box. What’s in the box? diapers and wipes! A year or two ago I bought my wife some flowers, then when we were done enjoying them inside I planted them outside. They came back! I had hopes this would happen, but really didn’t have the expectation that they actually would. Not pictured here: me being as tired as a person could be. The only person I know that’s more tired than me right now is my wife, who’s been staying at home with the kid while she uses her maternity leave. It’s unfortunate...
Control the city’s streets and keep the cars moving in perfect harmony in Urban Flow. Navigate complex intersections and avoid accidents as you progress through increasingly challenging levels. Play with up to four players in local co-op mode for added fun with family and friends. I thought this was going to be a chill game to play when winding down from my day, but it is one of the most stressful and complicated games I’ve ever laid my eyes on. The concept itself is simple, you’re a traffic controller for cities of varying size, but the implementation is crazy enough...
Roguelite bullet-hell combat meets sexy anime action in Sexy Mystic Survivors, as you rise to the occasion to help gorgeous heroines destroy countless invading monsters. Plan your builds, upgrade heroines, and survive against the clock. Keep the heroines alive and they’ll be sure to reward you! A rather decent bullet hell game with some rather NSFW trappings, the game itself doesn’t really include any kind of content that’s all that objectionable, but it’s one of those games where a passable game level ends with scenes that are over the top NSFW animations. They’re not all that bad, but don’t fit...
Two gangsters and the woman they love try to survive the most dangerous night of their lives. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s one wild ingredient added to the mix: a time machine. A rather fun adventure in time travel, as experience by a mob guy who unwittingly sends himself back in time to stop a murder. Everyone seems to be having fun with the settings and script and the 2 hour run time goes quickly. Buy On Amazon!
After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action. A spy craft movie like many others, with the significant and interesting twist that our main spy character really has no clue what he’s doing and it’s play seriously throughout the entire flick. There’s been humorous versions of this like Get Smart or Austin Powers, but this is the first in my recent memory where there’s a matter of vengeance to be settled, the...
A burned-out paramedic tries to survive his last 24 hours on the job while training a new recruit. I’ve been seeing this all over Tik Tok and as luck would have it, it’s on Hulu/Disney, so it was readily available for me when I needed something to watch at 1am while my son was having a midnight wake session and refused to go back to sleep. “Code 3” is at times hilarious and fun, then at other times a series look behind the lives of nearly minimum wage ambulance jockeys and the lives they impact during their shifts. The humor...
I’ve been growing more and more uncertain about using CVS as my pharmacy, the insides of their stores have been getting trashier and trashier, and there’s fewer employees to stock or run a register every time I go in. The decision to use a huge multinational corporation for my prescriptions has become less and less attractive and the final straw for me was the installation of tablets to “check in” when picking up your scripts. They refuse to talk to you, to answer questions, or in some cases, even make eye contact until you stand there and tap in your...
Peter Parker is on his way to becoming a hero, but his path to get there is anything but ordinary. This was supposedly a part of the MCU, but I simply do not care for the animation style or the stories that were being told here. DNF. Buy On Amazon!
