Starring Tom Holland, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Marisa Tomei, Jon Favreau, Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Foxx amongst others. Expect plenty of cameos and references. This is a fan service in a way. I have watched all the Spiderman films over the years. There was all the speculation over Maguire and Garfield. Endless memes on YouTube. Anyhow following on from the events of the previous film. Peter Parker has been exposed to the world. He goes to Doctor Strange for help. A spell is made but it goes wrong. Various characters from the multiverse arrive on this Earth. I like the dialogue between various characters. Good action and special effects. You will like the soundtrack. The Multiverse Of Madness will be out in 2022. Having watched Loki, Wandavision and What If you know what to expect. I knew someone would fuck things up and who they could not trust. Avoid the reviews and the Internet in general as they will post spoilers. Go in with an open mind. I was at Cineworld and the lady had overfilled the Pepsi drink so it started spilling. I needed tissues to clean up her mess.




I have started watching Marvel's The Defenders on Netflix. It is a superhero series. A crossover event. These shows are more adult compared to the MCU. Following on from the separate shows. Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil. Impressive fight scenes. Good cast of actors. Danny and his girlfriend/colleague are hunting down members of a secret organisation known as The Hand. Jessica is on a missing person's case. Luke is trying to protect Harlem and keep a young lad out of trouble. Matt is busy fighting cases in court. It is interesting how their stories intertwine. You have Alexandra a rich woman living on borrowed time. Some plan is in place. I doubt that I would watch the individual shows so settled for this.

Dead or alive, you're coming with me

For old times sake I watched Robocop 2. My favourite out of the trilogy. Scifi action that does have elements of comedy. Satirising society, capitalism etc. Set in a future Detroit. Great cast of actors. Good special effects. Something of it's time. Not too fussed about the soundtrack. I prefer the original theme. Peter Weller, Nancy Allen reprise their roles. Some scenes are scary. OCP are trying to run the city. The police are on strike. A villain named Cain is producing and selling a drug called Nuke. Dr Faxx and the team are wanting a new cyborg. There are standout characters which include Robocop, the Mayor, Cain, Hobs. I am interested to see where the cast are now. You might also like the TV series and reboot movie. I will look at reaction channels. OCP are painted as fascists in a way. I do have favourite scenes with the cyborgs. John Glover has a small role. The ads that they have are unique. Professional reviewers would explain this movie better. Good dialogue. See the imbd trivia. Actor: Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Tom Noonan, Belinda Bauer, Willard E. Pugh, Dan O'Herlihy, Felton Perry, Gabriel Damon, Galyn Görg, Mario Machado
Director: Irvin Kershner



I thought what the hell why not and rewatched Robocop. Nice origin story for Alex Murphy. Quite a handsome fella back in the day. Set in a future Detroit. OCP are a large organisation and they have a contract with the police department. An Ed209 robot is to be released. Another team have a Robocop programme. Clarence is the villain. He has a gang. You will recognise the actors. I do like in these films where there is a revenge element. Satirical and violent. Murphy has alot to deal with. Nancy looks good. There is a changing room scene and some nice tits on show for a brief moment. What did bug me is some characters use the toilet but not wash their hands. I will be watching the third film and reboot. The soundtrack is good especially the epic theme. Scifi Action. 
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Starring: Peter Weller; Nancy Allen; Daniel O'Herlihy; Ronny Cox; Kurtwood Smith; Miguel Ferrer



I watched Robocop 3 as mentioned earlier. I remember seeing it back in the day. I with others were disappointed to not have Peter Weller back in the role. Robert Burke did a good job. Other notable performances from Bruce Locke, CCH Pounder and John Castle. Good acting, dialogue. The effects might be dated but still good. I liked the soundtrack. The old theme is used again. Old Detroit is now being demolished to make way for Delta City. People are forced out of their neighbourhood. Meanwhile a group of rebels won't go quietly. McDaggett is the villain in charge of the task force. Good seeing a new kind of robot. I liked the speeches given by Bertha and Marie. The music in the background really adds to it. This film may have been unpopular but it has it's own charm. I quite like the ensemble cast. 
Robert Burke as Alex Murphy / RoboCop
Remy Ryan as Nikko Halloran
Bruce Locke as Otomo
Nancy Allen as Anne Lewis
Jodi Long as Keiko Halloran
John Posey as David Halloran
Rip Torn as The CEO
Mako as Kanemitsu
Felton Perry as Donald Johnson
John Castle as Paul McDaggett
Jill Hennessy as Dr. Marie Lazarus
Robert DoQui as Sgt. Warren Reed
Bradley Whitford as Jeffrey Fleck
CCH Pounder as Bertha
Daniel von Bargen as Moreno
Stanley Anderson as Zack
Stephen Root as Coontz
Eva LaRue Callahan as Debbie Dix
S.D. Nemeth as Bixby Snyder
Mario Machado as Casey Wong
Jeff Garlin as Donut Jerk
Lee Arenberg as Hold-up Man


Robocop 2014 is the reboot of the original franchise. It did gain mixed reviews. I first saw it at the cinemas. The theme does not hit as hard as before. It is more futuristic than the old film. Not sure if a sequel was planned. Great cast of actors and special effects. You might like the soundtrack. I like the design of Robocop. Moves faster too. As it goes Alex Murphy and his partner have been looking in the crimes regarding the main villain. There is an attack on his home. From there Alex's body is donated to science and the cyborg is created. Still has satire and politics involved. There might be easter eggs. You have a regular show by Mr Novak talking about Omnicorp, Congress and Robocop. A few of the cast have been involved with DC and Marvel.

Friday 10 December 2021

I started watching Jumanji The Next Level. I enjoyed the first film. The teens from the first film are now older. Living separate lives. They eventually reunite. Spencer had salvaged the game and had gone back in. His mole seems to vary in size and is off putting. Part way through I considered just logging out of this film. It felt like they were treading familiar ground. Karen Gillian looks hot. I noticed that Awkwafina is in this and so continued watching. Interesting that they get to play a variety of characters. This mission there is a gem that helped a village with the crops and water. The villain has got hold of it. Now the team must make their way to the final level to retrieve the gem. Danny Devito, Danny Glover, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Colin Hanks, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Ser'Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Rhys Darby, Morgan Turner also star. Some characters are annoying. Eddie and Milo when they are in their avatars. The lady in red is hot played by Dania Ramirez. I had forgotten about the life lines that they have. I felt I knew what would happen to certain characters. The actors really deliver. Interesting conversations. Good action and special effects. You might like the soundtrack. Comedy action adventure. Does contain swearing. There should not be another film. You might want to see the original starring Robin Williams.

Blumhouse's Fantasy Island is a horror drama. A group of people have been invited to the island. As they had won a competition. They get to live out their fantasy. However things come at a price. I assume it was filmed in Hawaii. Michael Pena is a great actor as are the rest of the cast. Mr Roarke is the manager. Julia is the assistant. You have various staff members. Maggie Q, Lucy Hale, Charlotte McKinney are hot. Gwen is a single woman. Walked away from her fiance. Melanie was bullied as a child. You have the cringe worthy step brothers Brax and J D. Patrick is a police officer that dreamt of being in the army. He reminded me of Matthew Fox. Austin Stowell, Jimmy O. Yang, Michael Rooker, Portia Doubleday, Dave Bautista, Ryan Hansen, Paris a Fitz-Henley also star. You find other characters appearing later on. I could look at trivia and discussion on the secrets of the island. I was thinking of a few films similar to this. Saw, Hostel, Jumanji, Old, Lost. Interesting special effects. Nice soundtrack. I am a fan of this company. It was released in 2020 on Netflix. 



Saturday 27 November 2021


I have finished watching Midnight In Paris. A Woody Allen film. Released in 2011. You have a bunch of a American tourists in France. Our protagonist is Gil, a script writer and wannabe author. It is a comedy drama. Good soundtrack. Plenty of art and philosophy to admire. A great cast of actors. You might also like Wes Anderson films, a BBC sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart, horror One Night In Soho and currently Legends Of Tomorrow. At Midnight in a specific street a car comes along and whisks Gil away to the 1920s. Plenty of beautiful women and handsome men. Cameos from famous artists and authors from history. I will look at the discussions and trivia for the back story. The cinematography is superb. Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston would later star together in Loki, another show with time travel. Rachel McAdams is his fiance who is rather unlikeable just like her Republican parents. Michael Shannon plays a lecturer, both men try to outdo each other. Michael and Rachel were in a relationship some time ago. Marion Cotillard plays a model and fashion designer in the 20s. The actor playing Hemingway is attractive and intense. You have Kathy Burke. Adrien Brody is in this. I did see him at a shift that I worked at in 2011. Worth taking a look. Hiddleston did talk about the audition process for this film and did an impression of Wilson. Carla Bruni looks gorgeous, she plays a tour guide. Lea Seydoux that recently was in No Time To Die is also in this film. Kurt Fuller, Mimi Kennedy, Alison Pill also star. 


I watched Last Night In Soho.
Director: Edgar Wright
Starring: Thomasin McKenzie; Anya Taylor-Joy; Matt Smith; Michael Ajao; Terence Stamp; Diana Rigg, Terence Stamp.
Young Ellie has moved to London from Cornwall for a University course on Fashion. She wants to become a designer. The trailer was creepy when I saw it. She has an obsession with the 60s. She seems to be a medium/psychic judging by her gift. At night she is transported to the 1960s. She gets to follow the adventure of Sandy. A young woman wanting to make it in showbiz. Her manager and boyfriend is Matt. It is a psychological horror. Wright wrote the screenplay. He is also responsible for Shaun Of The Dead, Baby Driver, Spaced. Great cast of actors that include the extras. Nice special effects. I like the soundtrack. Was surprised to hear Anya singing. Both her and Thomasin look pretty. I first saw Thomasin in Old. Matt having been in Doctor Who. I thought maybe the police box was a nod to the show. John seemed abit wet behind the ears. Jocasta was a cunt. It is graphic. Nice boobs on the leading ladies. I did kind of guess what became of Sandy. It had this time travel element. Ellie does have a habit of leaving her belongings. There is a nice transition between characters in the dancing scene. Anya is a great dancer. Thomasin nailed the accent. The pub featured isn't so busy. The landlady was Mrs Doyle in Father Ted. Cinematography, costumes and set design are on point. Dark story. The rental price on Google Movies is more than it would cost at the cinema. Worth taking a look. You might also like Frequency, The Jacket, Midnight In Paris. I will take a look at discussions and reviews. Some reaction channels will feature this.

Who you gonna call?

I am at the cinema to see Ghostbusters Afterlife. I recognise someone. Robin who used to work at the same club as me and a few friends. He used to come out drinking with a group of us. There was a bit of chatter amongst his group. Especially during the trailers. Two of the people were disabled so I wasn't overly annoyed. There was hardly anyone in the theatre as it was a Monday. I had this Ice Burst and a large Popcorn which I barely finished. Plenty of the rightwingers were trashing the 2016 reboot. It did pay homage to the original films. It was a good film. This film is a direct sequel to the originals. Paying homage to them and as a tribute to Harold Ramis. Starts of in a small town. Looking at the surrounding scenery it adds to the creepy factor. There would be injury and death to humans within the world of Ghostbusters. It begins with Egon Spengler running out of the mines. Something is after him. He had been living out here experimenting and trying to prevent an apocalypse. As we know that he died and his farm was left to his daughter and two children. All the equipment is there including the car. I was expecting alot judging by the trailer. McKenna Grace steals the scene as Pheobe. Definitely my favourite character. She is endearing. Has the look and mannerisms of Egon. She gets to start school. Her brother Trevor is working at a diner and he has a thing for the girl there. Finn Wolfhard is in this. He is a regular on Stranger Things where he got to dress up as a Ghostbuster in a Halloween episode and not forgetting Stephen King's IT. A young lad named Podcast is similar to Ray. Of course the original cast are present. I noticed that each young character represented the old cast in a way. Carrie Coons is the mother. Paul Rudd is the science teacher. You can see the reviews, discussion and trivia for unanswered questions. There is a major threat emerging from the mines. I would have liked to have seen a new villain. It does revisit old ones and some characters you won't see in this. Maybe a few more ghosts too. Jason Reitman is the director, writer and producer. Also the son of Ivan that was behind the original film. Good soundtrack. You will hear some familiar themes. McKenna sings one of the end credit songs. Two are two end credits scenes. Good special effects and acting. This is a nostalgia trip for the children of the 80s like myself. Also should bring in new fans. You might also like Super 8, The Goonies, E.T, Stranger Things, Ghostbusters, Eerie Indiana, Indiana Jones, Poltergeist, Paranormal Activity, IT, The X-files, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Goosebumps, Jumanji. I definitely recommend that you check out the film. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Celeste O'Connor, Bokeem Woodbine. Olivia Wilde, JK Simmons, Josh Gad are amongst the cast.

Silence is golden

I watched The Silence. Based on a novel by Tim Lebbon. It will have comparisons to A Quiet Place. Neither creator would have known about the other. A horror film. These creatures called Vesps have been living underground and evolving. Because of some expedition they are freed. They can't see and track their prey via sound. Looking like pterodactyls. There is a teenage girl who is deaf. She has her mum and dad, gran and little brother. There is an Uncle Glenn who is a family friend. Obviously you get some cult like group in the apocalypse films. The father doesn't have to use sign language in some scenes. Need to keep it consistent. A few characters are liabilities. The family left their town and kept on moving. Some interesting moments. I saw it on Netflix. Cast Kiernan Shipka; Stanley Tucci; Miranda Otto; John Corbett. CD Universe - Buy New Release DVDs, TV on DVD, Music Videos and Much More

Level up

I have just started watching The Flash season 8. Central City. A lot of people are levelling up. Grant Gustin, Candace Patton and the rest are back. There were mixed reviews regarding last season. I liked it. Anyhow a new big bad has entered the scene. Despero is his name. A shape-shifting alien. He came from the future. He believes that Barry will cause the apocalypse. Team Flash will stop him whatever it takes. Ray Palmer has visited as there is a convention on. Chester acts as his liaison. The business run by Iris is much bigger. Allegra is promoted. I remember that the actor playing Despero was Van Gogh in Doctor Who. Showing on the Cwtv. Take a look at some reaction channels such as Married2ThaReal, Blind Wave, Legends Of Podcasting. The theme tune has changed slightly. Kramer is still on the force. However it is on friendlier terms. This is a five part crossover event to kick things off.

No Mr Bond I want you to die





























I finally went to see No Time To Die. A James Bond film. Daniel Craig's finale. The white supremacist cunts were triggered over this film. Nevermind them. The scene in Italy was spectacular. Craig was also the co producer. Pheobe Waller Bridge was a writer. Madeleine Swann is on holiday with James, she is fine. He also wants to pay his respects. Spectre are still on the attack. The other characters from the previous films are back. There is a new agent Nomi with the number 007. A hot CIA agent Paloma that has been assigned her first mission. That was a nice scene. You have the villain Safin that has developed a special weapon that targets people based on their dna. Something different than what you get with a spy film. Plenty of action. Little Mathilde is cute. Logan Ash is a new guy with the CIA. Blofeld is locked up but an integral part to this story. Great soundtrack. They had old theme tunes playing. You will like the stunts and cinematography. All the cast should be commended. They may be recasting however this could easily have been the final ever 007 film. I wanted to see it go in another direction. But I went in with an open mind. See the old films if you haven't already. I hope that Daniel Craig continues to have success in whatever he does. Latasha and Ana held their own. Look at the discussion and trivia. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Our house

I have finally watched The Night House. A horror movie starring Rebecca Hall. It was on DisneyPlus surprisingly. A teacher named Beth has lost her husband to suicide. She tries to carry on as best as she can. There is her neighbour and best friend that are featured a fair bit. Some strange things start happening around the home. You would wonder if she is going crazy or if the ghost of her husband has come for her. Good acting and effects. Some creepy moments which I won't spoil. I will look at discussions and reviews. You might like the soundtrack.

Who is in control?

Possessor is by Brandon Cronenberg. A scifi horror. His father would be proud. Slow paced. Andrea Riseborough plays an assassin named Tasya Vos working for this organisation. The equipment that they use allows the participant to possess the host's body. Carry out an assassination and leave no trace. I was hoping that I would see multiple hosts. Jennifer Jason Leigh is her boss. There is plenty of graphic violence, sex and nudity. Some nice cock, tits and pussy on show. It will shock some audiences. You might like the soundtrack. I am left asking a few questions. Anyhow the main job is this man named Colin Tate. A former drug dealer now working for a company. His girlfriend is rich. Her father played by Sean Bean is the ceo. As always someone has to be killed. The host isn't willing to give up control. You may have also see Upgrade, Quantum Leap, Self/Less. Tuppence Middleton and Christopher Abbott also star.

Eternally Yours

CD Universe - Pre-Order or Buy DVDs From Your Favorite Actors
I got to see Marvel Eternals. A Chloe Zhao film. It offers something different to the other films. Interesting to follow the journey of immortal beings. In the beginning the Celestials were here. They created the Eternals. But hidden in the darkness were the Deviants. This specific team are on board a ship. They head to Earth. They weren't to meddle in human affairs. You get to see what they get up to throughout the ages. Some humour. Nice bit of drama and romance. Plenty of action. You will like the special effects and soundtrack. Great cast of actors. I like the Ikaris character. Superb powers. He is handsome. I like the powers of Makkari. Richard Madden could have played Superman. The Deviants thought to have been destroyed are making a comeback. Other secrets are revealed. The heroes had split up and lived their lives as they saw fit. Sersi and Thena looking hot. The team are to report back to Arishem. Worth looking at the back story. The credits scenes need explanation. One casting choice was a surprise. I want to see how this film is connected to others. It is a pretty good film. I would ignore the reviews. One country wants to censor the film. Ridloff is currently in The Walking Dead and Lee was in Train To Busan. Each character has a unique power. Some youtuber or blogger mentioned Mutants. You might like The Old Guard, Highlander.

On Disney+ is Marvel's Hawkeye. Starts of in 2012 when the battle of New York takes place. Kate Bishop is at home with her mother. Her was probably out. There is death and destruction everywhere. During the opening credits you see what she does growing up. I like the theme tune. You might like the soundtrack. It is an origin story for Kate Bishop and a solo outing for Clint Barton. During Christmas. Clint is with the family watching Rogers the musical. The song is kind of good. Kate finding out her mother is engaged. She is suspicious of the fiance and an associate. During a charity event this Russian gang attacks. Clint is wearing a hearing aid. Nice special effects. Good cast of actors. I noticed the Wandavision theme play as this one eyed dog shows up. Clint has now got involved and must protect Kate. They have nods to the previous films. Amongst the cast are Hailee Steinfield, Florence Pugh, Jeremy Reener, Vera Farmiga.

Flux capacitor

Doctor Who series 13. It has returned. I watched episode 1. It has a Halloween theme. Starting off in Liverpool. You meet Dan, a new companion. He is a trades man and volunteers at the food bank. I wasn't sure about the opening scene with Yaz and The Doctor or with some special effects. There is an alien that resembles a dog. You have a powerful alien that is possibly the season antagonist and I knew that he would escape. The Sontarons and Weeping Angels are back. There is a lot going on. Trying to make sense of it. New music. The Flux is similar to the Antimatter Wave. An apocalypse is taking place. The screen wasn't so clear thanks to the iplayer site.

Bite me

I have just watched Night Teeth. A horror thriller. Benny is a young man at college. He makes music. His brother owns a chauffeur company. In this world the humans and vampires live side by side. There is a truce that has been broken by the power hungry Victor. Blaire and Zoe hire a limo for the night. Benny just happened to work that shift. You may have seen Collateral, From Dusk Till Dawn, Blade, Daywalkers. The actress playing Blaire reminds me of Selena Gomez. Victor is similar to Deacon Frost. Grace and Eva have nice tits. The soundtrack is good. Good acting from all the cast. Currently on Netflix. Jorge Lendeborg Jr. as Benny Perez Debby Ryan as Blaire Lucy Fry as Zoe Alfie Allen as Victor Sydney Sweeney as Eva Raúl Castillo as Jay Perez Alexander Ludwig as Rocko Megan Fox as Grace Bryan Batt as Gio Marlene Forte as Abuela I have watched Vampires Vs The Bronx. A comedy horror. Set in the a neighbourhood. It is being gentrified bit by bit. People are going missing. Vampires are moving in. Some idiot rightwingers will take offence to the film as they are a bunch of snowflakes. Some stereotypes being used. A few annoying characters. You have Miguel the protagonist with his two best friends. Organising a party to help save the Bodega. You have some familiar faces like Chris Redd, Method Man, Mero. I thought Sarah Gadon was Caitlin Reilly. Other cast are Coco Jones, Gregory Diaz IV, Jordan Michael, Gerald Jones III who reminds me of Tyler The Creator, Shea Whigham, Vladimir Caamano. The soundtrack is decent. You might have seen Night Teeth, Blade, Attack The Block.

Take a trip through nature

CD Universe - Pre-Order or Buy DVDs From Your Favorite Actors
I have just watched British horror film In The Earth. Would have been made during the Covid19 pandemic. During lockdown. A scientist named Martin has arrived at a camp during the pandemic. He has a job to do and wants to speak to an old colleague of his. His tour guide Alma goes with him. You have Zach that is living in the forest. Also a scientist named Olivia that is running an experiment. You could tell which characters could not be trusted. This is a weird film. There are plenty of strobing effects. It looks like something Danny Boyle could have made. The soundtrack isn't bad. Great performance from the actors especially Reece Sheersmith. Nice special effects. That can get a bit much. This is an indie film. Written by Ben Wheatley. I may need to look at reviews and discussions. You might have seen Midsommar, Sunshine, Blair Witch Project, Evil Dead, Misery, The Forest, Annihilation. 




I have watched Midsommar written and directed by Ari Aster. Starring Florence Pugh. A slow paced horror movie. One of those psychological cult films. There isn't much of a soundtrack. Quite a bit of silence during dialogue scenes. You have the odd chants, folk singing and people making weird noises. Good cast of actors. The extras had to put in some work. A lot of the time standing around and other scenes just doing some weird shit. It is a little fucked up. Some scenes I just skipped a few seconds as it felt repetitive. Some good tits on show in one scene. Interesting to see where this was filmed. Making use of the local Swedish actors. I didn't quite like the protagonist Dani as she seems controlling. A family tragedy happened at the beginning. Her boyfriend Christian is always there to support her. He had a university project to do. He is joined by friends Mark and Josh. Mark is a no nonsense kind of guy. Josh is knowledgeable. Pelle is laid back. He invited the group to his home where a festival is being held. Things eventually take a dark turn. You might like the special effects, cinematography, soundtrack, audio. Some of it is quite subtle. The sex scene was just a bit much. Also a moment where Mark was taking a piss I don't think he had got to finish or washed his hands. When the villagers would chant or scream, moan in unison you would think that they were a hive mind. A lot of the actors can sing. The dance choreography took some time. It works though. You do kind of guess what might happen to certain characters. Why choose some over the others? I do distinctly hear screaming in the background but it isn't addressed. I was quite sleepy when I started watching and I would have nodded off. I continued it the next day. I think some gave it a negative review because of the pace and how strange it was. I believe that posters and other images in the early part were the foreshadowing. I tend to look at discussions and the trivia for the film. If you like this then I also recommend In The Earth, The Wicker Man, The Wicker Tree, Hereditary, Lost, The Sacrament, The Endless, Stepford Wives, The Burbs, Arlington Road. Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, Vilhelm Blomgren, William Jackson Harper, Will Poulter, Ellora Torchia, Archie Madekwe, Henrik Norlén, Gunnel Fred. 



Saturday 16 October 2021

I watched Love And Monsters on Netflix. A scifi comedy adventure. Starring Dylan O'Brien. A meteor was headed to Earth. All the governments would do is fire missiles at it. The nuclear fallout created mutations. The small insects and other creatures grew to big sizes. 95% of the population is wiped out. Post apocalypse. Joel is a young man living in an underground colony. He is the protagonist and narrates the story. His girlfriend from before the fallout is Amy. She lives 85 miles away. He decided that if it were to be his last days on Earth then he would rather spend them with her. So he heads off on a journey. I quite like the Mav1s robot. There is a dog named Boy. Other survivors meet him along the way. I have included other films that you might like. Nice soundtrack. Jessica Henwick, Dan Ewing, Michael Rooker and Ariana Greenblatt also star. Worth a look. Become a Patron!

I watched Bird Box on Netflix. When I originally had stumbled upon the meaning of the film or what the creatures represented it put me off as it was a spoiler. I eventually watched it. All throughout the world a supernatural force is infecting people. They usually commit suicide but there are others that behave as if they are part of a cult. That I need to work out. Based on a novel. The soundtrack is good. I liked the opening track in the first scene. You have Malorie that is an artist. She is pregnant. Her sister Jessica has come to take her to the hospital. I was reminded of The Happening, Cell, A Quiet Place. You look at two different times. One is when the apocalypse began and another is five years later. Meet a variety of characters. Interesting to see where this force came from. I would liked to have seen more of Jessica. Seeing Malorie getting injured you'd think she would have miscarried. Surprised to see Machine Gun Kelly. Rosa Salazar has a nice body what you see from a sex scene. There are so many cast members that you will recognise. Great acting and special effects. A scifi horror worth watching. Sandra Bullock as Malorie Hayes Trevante Rhodes as Tom Jacki Weaver as Cheryl John Malkovich as Douglas Sarah Paulson as Jessica Hayes Rosa Salazar as Lucy Danielle Macdonald as Olympia Lil Rel Howery as Charlie Tom Hollander as Gary Machine Gun Kelly[3] as Felix BD Wong as Greg Pruitt Taylor Vince as Rick Vivien Lyra Blair as Girl / Olympia Julian Edwards as Boy / Tom Parminder Nagra as Dr. Lapham Rebecca Pidgeon as Lydia Amy Gumenick as Samantha Taylor Handley as Jason Happy Anderson as River Man David Dastmalchian as Whistling Marauder

Radio waves

I rewatched scifi drama Frequency. Cast: Andre Braugher, Daniel Henson, Dennis Quaid, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jack McCormack, Jim Caviezel, Jordan Bridges, Marin Hinkle, Melissa Errico, Michael Cera, Noah Emmerich, Peter MacNeill, Richard Sali, Shawn Doyle, Stephen Joffe. Released by New Line in 2000. Time travel theme. Set in 1969 and 1999. John Sullivan is a cop, recently separated. Sees his mother now and then. He lives in his childhood home. Meanwhile in the past is his firefighter father Frank. They use one of those radios to communicate. History is altered along the way. I liked the concept of characters being able to connect over different time zones. You might also like The Lake House and The Call. Emotional that John gets to speak to his deceased dad. This would definitely do something to the audience. Nice soundtrack. The natural phenomenon that occurs is briefly spoken about on the TV. I am interested in the back story. Great film. Worth checking out. Cast Keanu Reeves Alex Wyler Sandra Bullock Kate Forster Christopher Plummer Simon Wyler Ebon Moss-Bachrach Henry Wyler Willeke van Ammelrooy Kate's Mother (as Willeke Van Ammelrooy) Dylan Walsh Morgan Shohreh Aghdashloo Anna Lynn Collins Mona I watched The Lake House which I saw years ago. Probably blogged about it. A scifi romance. Réunion between Keanu and Sandra since they starred in Speed. Nice soundtrack. I liked the time travel concept. Set in Chicago. You have Kate, a Doctor that has just moved out of this lake house. 2006. Meanwhile in 2004 you have Alex the architect. Just moving into the lake house. There is this dog named Jack. Alex's family are architects. You get to see Kate's mother and colleagues. Good cast of actors including the supporting ones. Christopher Plummer is superb as always. There is that letterbox which the protagonist would place a letter in and that's how they communicate. I like that some scenes their speech is intercut. Some scenes they are talking and in the same room. I believe that they are still writing to each other and it is interesting to show it like this. There are events that place over two years and you wonder if if was predetermined. I liked their walk through Chicago. It is romantic. Sandra looks beautiful. One actor was in Grimm. I wondered about the toilet and plumbing in the house. You might also like Premonition, Frequency, The Call, Somewhere In Time. This film is based on Il Mare. There is the Jane Austin book that is relevant. I will look at theories, discussions and back stories. I recommend that you see this. Time can be rewritten. Spoilers in this review.   

Chicken and chocolate

I watched Venom Let There Be Carnage. The sequel to the Marvel/Sony film. Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams, Woody Harrelson, Naomie Harris, Stephen Graham, Peggy Lu, Reid Scott. Tom Hardy is a Producer, Andy Serkis the Director. I liked the first film and wanted to see this one. A year later and Eddie Brock is trying to live a normal life. The police are still trying to get to the bottom of the events that took place in the first film. Cletus Kasady is a serial killer on death row. He requested meetings with Eddie and wanted him to tell his story. His girlfriend Frances is a mutant. She is locked away in a prison for gifted individuals. Unfortunately events don't go to plan. Carnage is on the loose causing, well carnage. Venom must stop him. Great cast of actors. Good special effects. I wanted to see them battle. I also want to see Venom in the MCU. You might like the soundtrack. There is one post credits scene. I may have read a comic featuring these characters. I played the original PlayStation game and the characters were tricky to fight. At cinemas now. I rewatched Venom, the first film. Cast: Chris O'Hara, Jenny Slate, Kurt Yue, Malcolm C. Murray, Melora Walters, Michelle Lee, Michelle Williams, Peggy Lu, Reid Scott, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, Sope Aluko, Tom Hardy, Wayne Pére, Woody Harrelson The beginning, the Life Foundation has a team sent to space.

Izombie

I watched the pilot episode of iZombie. From DC/ Vertigo. On Netflix. A horror drama. It did remind me of Pushing Daisies, Gilmore Girls and Nancy Drew. The leading actress reminded me of Amy Adams. Her sister is hot. A young doctor had gone to party and there was a zombie outbreak. Well a minor one. She was infected. Now one of the undead. She works in a morgue. Eating the victim's brains helps her have a psychic connection. I wasn't sure if I would watch the entire episode or even the series. It might appeal to a female audience. You may have seen Zombieland, Warm Bodies, Life After Beth. Interesting soundtrack. Comic book cut scenes. Her boss is British. There is black detective that need her help. Originally on the CW. There are references to the work Boyle and Romero. 5 seasons. You should see Ash Vs Walking Dead. Starring: Rose McIver; Malcolm Goodwin; Rahul Kohli; Robert Buckley; David Anders; Aly Michalka; Robert Knepper; Bryce Hodgson.

I have watched Free Guy. I was reluctant to see it in the cinema. Not a big fan of Ryan Reynolds but he has done a few good films. The protagonist is an NPC in a video game called Free City. One day he discovers that there is more to life than being a background character. Good special effects. Great acting. Nice soundtrack. Don't like Mariah Carey's music. I did see her at Stapleford Park in 2011. Anyway there you have Millie aka Molotov Girl. A programmer that had filed a lawsuit against the company behind the game. She is trying to gather evidence. Her ex partner Keys works in the complaints department. Guy has a best friend Buddy who is a security guard. Interesting story. Antoine is the Ceo and villain in this story. You may have seen Ready Player One, The Matrix, Tron, Wreck It Ralph. There are references and cameos. I may have been put off by the reviews. I saw this on Disney Plus. Ryan Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery.



I watched Guns Akimbo. Starring Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving. Set in the US. A guy named Miles works for a video-game company. He has his ex girlfriend Nova that he may speak to occasionally. His boss is a bully. He is often at home. Plays games and sometimes trolls people on the Internet. He messed with the wrong people. Meanwhile you have a lady named Nix, looks a bit rough. Psychotic, popular and deadly. She has been enrolled in a game called Skizm. People are watching it on their computers. The villain Riktor is in charge. Miles is in the game now and must go after Nix. She is hunting Miles. With the amount of times he is shot at he should not survive. There are graphic scenes. Good special effects, acting and soundtrack. There is humour. You might also like Free Guy, Death Race, The Running Man, Ready Or Not, The Purge, The Hunt, The Hunger Games and Boss Level.
