Redemption Ark

50 years ago, human intervention triggered an ancient alien system designed to warn of the emergence of intelligence in this sector of the galaxy. For aeons the Much better than the first in the series, with a lot more action and much less philosophizing. There’s new characters to enjoy, along with a few of the ones from the previous book, and the system level threat finally does what we’ve been building up to this entire time, with some pretty cool results. I continue to have problems telling the two main female leads apart, mostly because Reynolds uses their last names...

Peacemaker

Peacemaker: Created by James Gunn. With John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland. Picking up where The Suicide Squad (2021) left off, Peacemaker returns home after recovering from his encounter with Bloodsport – only to discover that his freedom comes at a price. Man, this is a stupid, low brow television show that has no reason to exist, is about as low budget as you can get, and I love absolutely every damn minute of it. It’s only eight episodes long, and they’ve already approved a second season. Also, there’s about 30 jokes set up throughout season one that...

The Book of Boba Fett

The Book of Boba Fett: Created by Jon Favreau. With Temuera Morrison, Ming-Na Wen, Frank Trigg, Collin Hymes. Bounty hunter Boba Fett & mercenary Fennec Shand navigate the underworld when they return to Tatooine to claim Jabba the Hutt’s old turf. Jon Favreau once joked that Book of Boba Fett was going to be “The Mandolarian Season 2.5” and that’s actually what we damn near got here. I’m not really complaining, because as the two of them are currently written, Mando is by far a much more interesting character than Boba Fett, which honestly is a damn shame. Boba has...

Reacher

Reacher: With Alan Ritchson, Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Hugh Thompson. Jack Reacher was arrested for murder and now the police need his help. Based on the books by Lee Child. There were two movies made with this character, but in those he was played by Tom Cruise, a great actor, but not known for his height or bulk. Alan Richson however, is known for being a tall dude with some absolutely impressive bulk, something he’s been building on since I first saw him back in Smallville or even the failed Aquaman television plot. It was a few year between his...

Murderville Season 1

Murderville: Created by Krister Johnson. With Will Arnett, Haneefah Wood, Lilan Bowden, Philip Smithey. Eccentric detective Terry Seattle teams up with clueless celebrity guest stars to investigate a series of murders in this improvisational crime comedy. It’s got a pretty unique concept and it works for the most part, but I do feel there could have been more done with it. I don’t regret watching it though, it was pretty funny. Buy On Amazon!

Daredevil Season 1

Daredevil: Created by Drew Goddard. With Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Vincent D’Onofrio. A blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil. I started re-watching this after I saw the latest Spider-man film, and forced my wife to sit with me while I was watching it. It’s still the best Marvel content that Netflix put out, followed closely by season 2 of Daredevil, none of the other stuff comes even close. There’s a rumor going around that all the Marvel stuff is going to be moved from Netflix in...

Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope

Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope: Directed by George Lucas. With Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing. Luke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire’s world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader. I had this on my list of things that I watched while I was blitzed out of my mind on cold medicine during my covid infection. Watched it in 4k on D+ and I have limited memories of actually watching it...

Happy!

Meet Nick Sax, a corrupt, intoxicated ex-cop turned hit-man I had unfortunately seen the forgettable and not recommendable (even though it inexplicably went for two entire seasons) television show that I repeat, was not very good at all. So, when I got this TPB in a HumbleBundle, it went to the bottom of my ‘to-do’ list, which I just recently found when I started using a new book/comic book management application. The comic itself is pretty good, if pretty much exactly what I would expect from Grant Morrison circa 2012, with all the gratuitous violence and strawmen that normally comes...

Milo Manara’s Gullivera

Jonathan Swift’s timeless political satire takes a saucy turn when a student, Gullivera, finds herself shipwrecked. Barely clad and washed up on a beach she’s t I received this as a part of a HumbleBundle and it’s much more pornographic than I thought it was going to be, but it’s also much better than it has any right being. It’s a 1995 adaption of Jonathan Swift’s 1726 “Gulliver’s Travels” which was a satirical rip on European politics and governments of the day. Manara’s version of the story is more luridly salacious, foregoing any kind of society commentary for expertly drawn...

Knight Rider 2000

Knight Rider 2000: Directed by Alan J. Levi. With David Hasselhoff, Edward Mulhare, Susan Norman, Carmen Argenziano. In the future, guns are banned and criminals are frozen for the duration of their sentences. A recent spate of killings involving handguns brings Michael Knight back to fight for justice, but he insists on the help of KITT, his artificially-intelligent car from decades ago. The only problem is that KITT has been deactivated. Release 3 years before William Shatner’s “TekWar”, this tv movie shares many of the same concepts with freezer prisons, cops that don’t use real guns anymore and a future...
