Deadpool 2: Directed by David Leitch. With Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison. Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable. Hilarious and what I needed tonight. Buy On Amazon!
Bumblebee: Directed by Travis Knight. With Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker. On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. On the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, Charlie Watson discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. Definitely the best of the 5 Transformers films, it’s difficult for me to even say what part of it works best. Is it the amazing cgi? is it the new transformation and robot designs? Is it Hailee Steinfeld? The nods back to the original...
Mr Pleco got busy in his new home Just a few of the 700 cats in or around my house The elder cat in my house, paradoxically named “Baby Cat” I went to my first softball game since 2019! I put sunscreen on everything except my right arm somehow and now I have a damn sunburn on my right arm. I moved a pleco into the tgiokdi twitter fish tank. He’s been doing a lot of good. The youngest cat in the house at the moment, but only just by a few minutes. He’s also the most handsome, and will...
The food itself was fantastic, the packaging was the best that I’ve seen on any of these venture funded pipedream meal planning services, but at the end of the day, it’d be twice the price of just buying the stuff ourselves from a local market. Also, those portions are exceptionally disappointing, you can see in that one picture how much meat they sent us. In theory that’s all the meat for two people for 4 meals but in reality it’s only about 2 meals worth of food.
DMZ: With Rosario Dawson, Hoon Lee, Freddy Miyares, Jordan Preston Carter. In a near-future civil-war-torn America, fearless medic Alma sets out on a harrowing quest to find her missing son – crossing into the demilitarized zone of Manhattan, where a ruthless battle for control rages between rival gang leaders. Rosario Dawson seems to be in Hollywood’s spotlight these last couple years, from playing a fan favorite in the Netflix Marvel television series, to playing a fan favorite in Disney’s The Mandalorian, to doing a long list of voice over work, she seems to be everywhere I look. For good reason...
The further adventures in time and space of the alien adventurer known as the Doctor and their companions from planet Earth. This is it, the final season that I’m going to check in on the Doctor. I actually love Jodie Whittaker in literally everything else that she’s done, so I find no fault in her as an actor, but instead I lay it 100% on the show runners and the remarkably uninteresting scripts they threw in her general direction. The special effects are great, the companions are suitably weird (but lovable) but there wasn’t a single episode in the last...
Disaster on the Coastliner: Directed by Richard C. Sarafian. With Lloyd Bridges, Raymond Burr, Robert Fuller, Pat Hingle. A vengeful employee of a computer-controlled railway arranges a head-on collision of passenger trains. Can it be stopped? One of those films that you know is going to be bad, but ends up being pretty ok, along with guest stars that you had no idea were going to be there, but ended up being there and not being bad? I have no clue what attracted me to this movie, but there it is, it’s a computer-phobic tale about a train that couldn’t...
Humanity has endured centuries of plague and a brutal interstellar war, but there is still no time for peace and quiet. Stirred from aeons of sleep, the Inhibit Arguably both the best written of the trilogy but the subject matter was just out what I was hoping for. Instead of interstellar battles with unstoppable forces, we got a story of a guy that decided he never wanted to blink again, all in order to watch a planet blink in and out of existence, all while riding on some sort of city sized building bus that reminded me way too much...
Terra Willy: Directed by Eric Tosti. With Landen Beattie, Jason Anthony, Laura Post, Keith Silverstein. Upon the destruction of their ship, Willy is separated from his parents. He lands on a wild and unexplored planet and with the help of Buck, a survival robot, he will have to hold until the arrival of a rescue mission. I’ve been looking for this movie for years, I think it had a limited released in 2019, then it just sorta disappeared. Luckily I keep track of movies that look interesting over on 2queue.com, and I finally found it on a random streaming site,...
Willow: Directed by Ron Howard. With Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Warwick Davis, Jean Marsh. A young farmer is chosen to undertake a perilous journey in order to protect a special baby from an evil queen. It’s been ages since I’ve seen this film with what I can only assume is the entire population of adults under 4 feet. I had forgotten a great deal about the film and was largely going in blind again, but enjoyed myself none the less. Buy On Amazon!
