My Cousin Vinny: Directed by Jonathan Lynn. With Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Ralph Macchio, Mitchell Whitfield. Two New Yorkers accused of murder in rural Alabama while on their way back to college call in the help of one of their cousins, a loudmouth lawyer with no trial experience. What a lovely turn of a script. Buy On Amazon!
The stalwart agents of the Department of Temporal Investigations have tracked down many dangerous artifacts, but now they face a greater, more personal challenge: retrieving a time-travel device stolen from their own vault by a rogue agent of the Aegis, a powerful, secretive group that uses its mastery of time to prevent young civilizations from destroying themselves. Blaming the Aegis itself for a tragedy yet to come, this renegade plans to use the stolen artifact to sabotage its efforts in the past, no matter what the cost to the timeline. Now the DTI’s agents must convince the enigmatic Aegis to...
Upload: Created by Greg Daniels. With Robbie Amell, Andy Allo, Allegra Edwards, Zainab Johnson. After his premature death, a man’s consciousness is uploaded into a virtual world. As he gets comfortable with his surroundings, questions about his death arise. it’s a shorter season than it’s normally short season, so in the couple episodes we get the dangling threads from the previous seasons are all mostly tied up with some open threads left dangling because apparently we’re allergic to just finishing stories. It was a pleasurable set of dangling threads though, so if you’ve watched everything up to this point, these...
Foundation: Created by David S. Goyer, Josh Friedman. With Jared Harris, Lou Llobell, Lee Pace, Terrence Mann. A complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy all living under the rule of the Galactic Empire. It’s interesting to me that two series I’ve finished in the last week have had the same exact twitch, this one done much less as well as the other series, which I’m not going to name because it would run the risk of spoiling one show over this one. The story progresses on it’s long scale galactic “psychohistory” story and we’ve finally arrived...
The dedicated agents of the Federation Department of Temporal Investigations have their work cut out for them protecting the course of history from the dangers of time travel. But the galaxy is littered with artifacts that, in the wrong hands, could threaten reality. One of the DTI’s most crucial jobs is to track down these objects and lock them safely away in the Federation’s most secret and secure facility. As it happens, Agent Gariff Lucsly and his supervisor, DTI director Laarin Andos, are charged with handling a mysterious space-time portal device discovered by Starfleet. But this device turns out to...
The Running Man: Directed by Edgar Wright. With Glen Powell, Alyssa Benn, Sienna Benn, David Zayas. A man joins a game show in which contestants, allowed to go anywhere in the world, are pursued by “hunters” hired to kill them. A great reimagining of the story of a national show full of bloodlust, violence, and gratuitous nudity of Glen Powell. The plot itself gets pretty bad once the third act hits and it vaporized my suspension of disbelief when everyone kept assuming that the corporation that has never kept its word was going to keep its word when it made...
Wifelike: Directed by James Bird. With Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Elena Kampouris, Doron Bell, Agam Darshi. When artificial human Meredith is assigned as a companion to grieving widower William, she is designed to behave like his late wife. But in the fight to end AI exploitation, an organization attempts to sabotage her programming. This feels like an HBO movie, with near porn levels of nudity in the first act with an amazingly beautiful cast, which tapers off and refocuses into a story that has some fun elements that make the entire thing pretty recommendable. The robots’ acting is goofy as all...
Marvel Zombies: Created by Zeb Wells. With Iman Vellani, Todd Williams, David Boat, Robin Atkin Downes. After the Avengers are overtaken by a zombie plague, a group of survivors discover the key to bringing an end to the super-powered undead, racing across a dystopian landscape and risking their lives to save their world. A blink and you’ll miss it show, I don’t think I saw much advertising for this and after I watched the first episode it disappeared from the “Featured Shows” slideshow that D+ has. I think I made a mistake by signing up for the combined Hulu/D+/ESPN subscription...
Wing Commander: Directed by Chris Roberts. With Freddie Prinze Jr., Saffron Burrows, Matthew Lillard, Tchéky Karyo. Blair, a fighter pilot, joins an interstellar war to fight the evil Kilrathi who are trying to destroy the universe. Oh sure, I’ve seen this before, at least a dozen times according to my memories, but have I ever seen it in 2025? Yes, I have. Buy On Amazon!
