“Resident Alien” Review

Resident Alien: Created by Chris Sheridan. With Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund. A crash-landed alien takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor and slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth. Ending on an emotional high, this series never really got to a point where it was “must watch” television for me. I loved all the actors and most of the story elements were great, but the sum total of it was ok. Not overwhelming, not underwhelming, just ….whelming. I could go for another couple seasons of perfectly whelming...

“Injustice: Gods Among Us” Review

Injustice: Gods Among Us: Directed by Ed Boon, Dominic Cianciolo. With Stephen Amell, Troy Baker, Adam Baldwin, Kimberly Brooks. In an alternative universe where Superman establishes a new world order under his iron fist, Batman and other heroes must fight back against Superman and those that have pledged their allegiance to his dictatorship. Dang near 15 year later and this game still holds up as one of the best single player fighters that I’ve ever experienced. Buy On Amazon!

“Johnny Eager” Review

Johnny Eager: Directed by Mervyn LeRoy. With Robert Taylor, Lana Turner, Edward Arnold, Van Heflin. The step-daughter of a district attorney falls in love with a gangster on parole who her father originally imprisoned. They’re definitely dynamite in this story of a bad boy going to the races and getting even worse with an innocent young woman by his side. Glenda Farrell isn’t the main squeeze, much to my chagrin, but it was great to see her in the limited time she had on screen. The story of course is great with some really goofy but enjoyable twists and turns...

“The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!” Review

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!: Directed by David Zucker. With Leslie Nielsen, Priscilla Presley, Ricardo Montalban, George Kennedy. Incompetent police Detective Frank Drebin must foil an attempt to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II. I watched all three of these in preparation for a date with my wife at the movies to see the most recent entry, it was in the theaters! We ended up falling asleep and missing the new one, but this first one was great and I had forgotten just how great it was. Buy On Amazon!

“Ballerina” Review

Ballerina: Directed by Len Wiseman. With Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston. An assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma organization sets out to seek revenge after her father’s death. While the style of the movie fits pretty well into the existing John Wick films, I think they leaned a little too hard on John Wick themself to tell this story. I was still pretty happy with the end result! Buy On Amazon!

“Disney Speedstorm” Review

Disney Speedstorm: With Scott Adsit, Carlos Alazraqui, Micah Aliling, Tim Allen. The ultimate hero-based battle-racing game, set on circuits inspired by Disney and Pixar worlds. An amazing game that is absolutely ruined by the extremely high level of obscene microtransactions in it. It’s staggering that such a thing was ever released into the world, and horrifying that it was released by Disney. They use their IP to great effect here, but it’s the dangerous kind of effect that I know that I need to stay away from or there could be terrible consequences. Buy On Amazon!
