This sci-fi film called Outlander. I have seen it before. Cast: Jim Caviezel, Sophia Myles, Jack Huston, Ron Perlman, John Hurt. During the time period the Vikings were alive. A man from outer space crash lands on Earth. Meanwhile there is a monster on the loose. If you like Predator, 65, Alien then this is for you. Regarding the special effects take it with a pinch of salt. Good soundtrack. Worth reading Imdb trivia. There is a interesting scene using shields. I have read these Stephen Baxter books. The Vikings are at war with another village. They were suspicious our visitor. Interesting dialogue.

A long time ago
I watched the scifi film 65. Starring Adam Driver as Mills, Ariana Greenblatt as Koa, Chloe Coleman as Nevine, Nika King as Alya and Brian Dare as Zoic Computer Voice. It has mixed reviews. Produced by Sam Raimi and written by the people behind A Quiet Place. I took this as some sort of time travel film. It has a nice soundtrack, good effects and acting. You might also like Chronical 2067, High Life, Love And Monsters, Prospect, Outlander, La Brea, Jurassic Park, After Earth. A pilot named Mills is sent on a two year mission taking him away from his wife and ill daughter. He is returning to the planet Somaris. He has a few people on board, all in chyogenic chambers. There is a meteor shower that forces the ship to land on Earth 65 millions ago. One of the survivors is Koa, a young girl. There is a language barrier. There are plenty of dinosaurs roaming around. He has to get to the escape pod. It is a race against time as another meteor is going make an impact. Worth taking a look. I am going to look at trivia and discussion on the back story.

Chaos
I am rewatching The Butterfly Effect trilogy. The first one released in 2004. Starring Ashton Kutcher, Melora Walters, Amy Smart, Elden Henson, William Lee Scott. It is a scifi drama. Kutcher's best work. It focuses on abuse. Good soundtrack. I like the editing and acting. You may have seen The Time Traveller's Wife, The Time Machine, Quantum Leap, Back To The Future, About Time, Donnie Darko, Timeline, Timeless. This has a love story at the centre of it. The time travel aspect will attract most. Chaos Theory is where you could change one thing and a random chain of events can occur. Evan is a young man that had been having blackouts as a child. He starts a journal. Upon reading an entry he will be transported back that year in his own body. He tries to see what he can do to make things better. Altering the course of history. Worth taking a look at all of the films. Eric Stoltz was originally in Back To The Future. However this is the time travel film that he gets to be in.
The Butterfly Effect 2
With the second film you have Nick, an employee of a tech company. Having to deal with potential investors. He is with his girlfriend and two friends. Having a picnic. A car accident happens. Nick can travel through time by focusing on photographs. The actresses have nice breasts. The sex scenes are unnecessary. It acknowledged the first film. I do question as to how all the characters from the trilogy are connected. Why they can time travel. Eric Lively, Erica Durance, Dustin Milligan, Gina Holden, David Lewis. Good soundtrack. I wonder why they bothered with sequels.
The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. Chris Carmack, Rachel Miner, Melissa Jones, Kevin Yon, Lynch R. Travis. Sam is a psychic working for the police. His method of time travel is different. No longer having nosebleeds or headaches. His sister Jenna has an apartment. His girlfriend was murdered. Her hot sister had come to visit. She believed the man on death row to be innocent. Interesting soundtrack. Nice rack on the barmaid.
A few pretty actresses. Goldburg is a guide/friend to Sam. Only he and Jenna know about the time jumps. Having already seen this film I view it differently. Good actors. There is a continuity error near end. The shoe is off the foot. Back on and off again.

Father of the year
Tom Cruise · Dakota Fanning · Miranda Otto · Justin Chatwin · Tim Robbins · Rick Gonzalez · Yul Vazquez · Lenny Venito.
I rewatched War Of The Worlds. A film by Stephen Spielberg. Based on the novel by HG Wells. Ray is working 12 hour shifts at the docks in New Jersey. His beautiful ex wife has dropped their son and daughter for the weekend. Meanwhile there is a storm brewing. He wasn't exactly the ideal husband and hadn't really connected with his kids. The lightening strike scene is memorable. The Tripods walk along destroying anything in their path. Good special effects and acting. I saw Rick Gonzalez at a shift that I worked. The son and daughter were a liability and annoying. Ray should have ditched them. Worth taking a look. There is the film from 1953 and TV series from 1988 and 2019. Morgan Freeman narrates. You might like Indepence Day, The Fifth Wave, Battlefield LA, Cloverfield, Darkest Hour, Skyline, The Day The Earth Stood Still.

M3GAN
I went to the cinema to see a new scifi horror film from Blumhouse. In the room were several people however this woman was quite vocal and that annoyed me. Anyway it is M3GAN.
Allison Williams · Gemma
Violet McGraw · Cady
Ronny Chieng · David
Amie Donald · M3gan
Jenna Davis · M3gan
Jen Van Epps - Tess
Brian Jordan Alvarez - Cole
Stephane Garneau-Monten - Kurt
There were scenes where I knew something bad was going to happen and to which characters. I had watched Brian on YouTube, Jenna is also on there. Ronny was on The Daily Show. Moving on you have Cady. On the road with her parents. There is an accident. Afterwards she goes to live with her hot aunt Gemma. Who is creating robotic toys. I like the satire. I am reminded of Robocop, Westworld and Child's Play. Gemma has secretly been working on creating a robot girl that could befriend a child. The boss is obviously annoyed. There are the two colleagues working at the lab. The personal assistant is helping the boss. M3gan is cute, creepy and clever. I like how she is very observant of humans. She is evolving and would act and think for herself. She is meant to help Cady with her trauma and protect her from harm. She becomes obsessive and will remove anyone seen as a threat.
The special effects and stunts were great. Fantastic acting. You will like the soundtrack. Good horror. I think M3gan is a brilliant character. She may look like a girl but she is a powerful machine. She may be a psycho but is she really the villain or are the humans the bad ones? There is something that the personal assistant Kurt was doing that there should have been more information on. I have been a fan of James Wan and Jason Blum since the early days. They never disappoint. There is talk of a sequel. But it should have been a standalone film. I recommend this film and you should see Archive, Tau, The Machine, Morgan, Replicas, Chappie, Short Circuit, Terminator, The Matrix, Ex Machina, Robocop, Extinction, Battle Of The Damned, Westworld, Child's Play, Humans. See Imdb for cast and trivia.

Take a leap into the unknown
Quantum Leap 2022. A reboot/sequel to the original show.
Raymond Lee
Caitlin Bassett
Mason Alexander Park
Nanrisa Lee
Ernie Hudson
Georgina Reilly
Takes place 30 years after the original. I hadn't realised the original was set in 1995. This is set in 2022. The project has been reinstated. Ben Song is the protagonist. He uses to the machine and takes a
leap into the unknown. Addison is his hot fiancé. She is on the team. She is a hologram helping Ben in the past. They acknowledge what happened in the original. Worth checking both shows out. Mixed reviews. I know some antisjw are probably whining. The special effects can be questionable. I do wonder if Scott Bakula will reprise his role. Ben has suffered amnesia. He is in the middle of a heist. He will have to help people in order to move on. I could see some reaction channels watching this. Trivia and discussion will be looked at. Cast are familiar. Dedicated to Dean Stockwell. Soundtrack is good. Great acting, costumes and sets. You might also like Timeless, Doctor Who, Outlander, La Brea, Loki.
Timeless season 2. Starring Abigail Spencer, Malcolm Barrett, Matt Lanter, Goran Visnjic, Claudia Doumit. I watched season 1 on TV when it was originally shown. The protagonists were working for an agency hunting down members of Rittenhouse. A terrorist organisation that will change history for their own means. Pretty women in the show. Time travel drama. You might also like Quantum Leap. I never cared for the romance element. It was more real when dealing with discrimination. You will recognise some of the actors. Lucy is a historian. Rittenhouse want to recruit her. Wyatt is a soldier and then you have Rufus the scientist. Good show.
Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Science Fiction, Supernatural.
Cast: Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, Richard Rankin, Sophie Skelton, John Bell
Outlander is a Netflix TV series based on the books. Slow paced. Good soundtrack by Bear Mccreary. Starts off in 1945. A nurse and history teacher named Claire and Frank are on a holiday together. They come to Inverness in Scotland. Interesting filming locations. Nice buildings. There is that one scene where she is having her fortune read. But anyway I didn't care for the sex scenes though the actress is pretty with a nice body. It is nearly Halloween. There's a group of people near a stone circle performing a ritual. Somehow Claire is transported back in time to 1743. The Scottish and English are at war. She is with a group of warriors. Jamie is one that she helps and I know that they will have a relationship. There are questions as to how she got there. What will happen to her future. An ancestor of Frank is there. The timeline could change. Has she already lived this life and we will see what impact was made? Some sort of paradox. Maybe this is all happening for the first time. Interested to see discussions and trivia. There are 7 seasons. The lead actress had left and they would bring in a new one. You might also like Doctor Who, Highlander, Braveheart, The Time Machine, Timeless, Quantum Leap, Outlander film. I recommend the books of Stephen Baxter.
Paul Walker, Matt Craven, Cas Anvar, David Thewlis, Rossif Sutherland, Billy Connolly, Michael Sheen, Anna Friel, Gérard Butler, Neal McDonough.
Timeline is a scifi adventure film from 2003. There is a team of archeologists in France. Making a few discoveries. Meanwhile in the US there is the ITC corporation. They have a time machine. The wormhole leads to 1357. The professor had gone missing and now his son and colleagues must go back to rescue him. There is a war between the French and English. Kate is kinda annoying. This was the first film with Gérard Butler that I saw. You will recognise some faces. If you like The Time Machine, Outlander, Doctor Who, Timeless, Braveheart, Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves then you might like this. A good film. Might not have been seen by many. Based on the novel by Michael Crichton and directed by Richard Donner. Good soundtrack. I didn't care for the romance. I will recommend the film to reaction channels on YouTube.

Nope
Howdy! Well where do I begin? At the cinema to see the latest Jordan Peele film Nope. He is a genius. Written, produced and directed by him. A horror scifi. A family of horse wranglers living out in the middle of nowhere. They are often hired by Hollywood. I bet that the crew featured in scenes were actually crew members. OJ is the son played by Daniel Kaluyaa. Keke Palmer plays his annoying sister Emerald. Their dad Otis (Keith David) is in charge. Not sure what happened to the mum. Things fall out of sky. I liked the creepiness of the setting. People have been dissappearing. Michael Wincott was in Alien Resurrection. He plays a cinematographer. Brandon Perea is a handsome man, he plays tech guy Angel. Steven Yeun owns this theme park. His wife dressed like a Toy Story character. There is this story about an incident with a chimpanzee on the set of a sitcom. Nod to Planet Of The Apes. There is a cover of Mad in the office. Peele was a cast member of Mad TV. You will have seen Get Out, Us, Candyman. I will see what he comes out with next. There are aliens observing the humans. There are those audio and visual clues. Someone on YouTube will explain the meaning of the film. There were trailers for The Woman King, Smile, Prey For The Devil. Not many people in the theatre. Great acting and effects. Nice soundtrack. Need to read the back story of the black cowboy on a horse caught on film. I did think that the trailer might spoil things. Hopefully you check this out.
I have decided to cancel my Netflix account. Not much in terms of good content. So I decided to watch one last thing. A horror comedy called Day Shift. Stars Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, Karla Souza, Meagan Good, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Peter Stormare. Set in the city of Los Angeles. Bud is a man that hunts vampires. He is trying to get enough money together to pay for his daughter's tuition. He is seperated from his wife Jocelyn who is hot. Somewhat useless in later scenes. There is the daughter Paige who is clever. Troy is a dealer of sorts that Bud deals with. You have Audrey posing as a real estate agent. She is practically a leader of these vampires. Another attractive woman. Then you also have the lovely Heather who just moved to the apartment block. There is a business called The Union. Shrouded in secrecy. Similar to R.i.p.d and Men In Black. So many hunters work here. Seth is a union rep assigned to monitor Bud. I did get Training Day vibes. Interesting take on the vampire. They are quick, flexible and can regenerate. Finding there are 5 types of vampire. Good soundtrack. There is a reference made to other vampire films. Chad Stahleski is the producer. He may have been involved with the stunt work. The violence is similar to John Wick. Clever action scenes. Interesting dialogue. Great work from everyone involved. You might like Night Teeth, Stake Land, From Dusk Till Dawn, Blade, Day Walkers, 30 Days Of Night, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Of course there are many more. I hadn't been overly bothered by Jamie Foxx. I have seen a few of his films from Booty Call, Collateral, Ray, Spider-man No Way Home, Amazing Spider-man 2, White House Down. Even saw a stand up special. Haven't seen much of Dave Franco. He was looking good in whatever clothes they put him in. Worth looking at the trivia and discussions once you have seen the film. See some reaction channels. Showing on Netflix now. Released in 2022.

Come meet our hosts
Series Cast
Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris, Jeffrey Wright, Evan Rachel Wood, Tessa Thompson, James Marsden, Luke Hemsworth, Angela Sarafyan, Anthony Hopkins, Aaron Paul, Simon Quarterman, Rodrigo Santoro, Shannon Woodward, Jimmi Simpson.
I started watching Westworld. A scifi drama based on the classic movie. I had seen elements of the film. Michael Crichton created this. He is also responsible for Jurassic Park. Set in the far future. A theme park in America. It has a western theme. Majority of it's population are robots. They are called Hosts. You have Guests, the human tourists coming to the park. They can do whatever they like. The concept is fascinating. There are many attractive women. Nice tits. Plenty of nudity. Plenty of good actors. Extras also do a good job. Much respect to the Hosts. Good special effects. You might like the soundtrack. The music is fairly modern but is recreated to suit the scenes in the show. Adult themes are discussed. The Hosts are beginning to glitch. It is a long episode. One hell of an opening. Seeing the Hosts become self aware. The Guests seem to be the cruel ones. I am reminded of The Truman Show, Jurassic Park, Free Guy, The Matrix, Hostel, Groundhog Day. You might also like Ex Machina, The Machine, Terminator, Robocop, Archive, Tau, IRobot, A.I, Big Bug, Chappie, Short Circuit, Lost, The Walking Dead. As you have a team of scientists at the facility monitoring the Hosts. There is a Guest called the Man In Black who seems to be having a little too much fun. One of the Hosts is Dolores, a young lady living on the farm. Her boyfriend is the doctor. Doing their daily routines. I would not really go into too much detail. You will recognise Steve Ogg who has been in GTA5. Npcs with a role to play. Anyway just take a look at the trailer.
I am catching up with Westworld season 4. Set long after last season. Life is getting back to normal. It is a futuristic setting. Look at the advanced technology. William aka the Man In Black is wanting to buy a plot of land. The people at this cartel are resistant. Meanwhile living in the city is games developer Christina. Played by Evan Rachel Wood who looks hot as always. Maeve lives out in the countryside. Caleb is at home with his wife and kid. Works a 9-5. Some man is stalking Christine. The gang of men have arrived to kill Maeve. Great acting and effects. The soundtrack is always good. It could have been filmed during or just after the pandemic. You do see some people wearing masks. I saw that graffiti sign "My brain my choice" with Roe Vs Wade this might be relevant.
Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, Tessa Thompson, Aaron Paul, Angela Sarafyan, Ed Harris.

Smeg
I watched Red Dwarf: The Promised Land. A two part special on Uktv. I looked up reactions on YouTube and saw a video from MechaKaren labelling it as woke. Well she is a dumbass and has clearly never seen the show. You can tell who is rightwing. But anyway don't let that spoil it for you. I did think that they would have left it as it was with the last series. As now the cast are much older. You have young cast members that might not have been born during the original run. Packed full of gags. Good special effects. This show never took itself seriously. A cult scifi programme. Very British. Good having a live studio audience. Some interesting dialogue. There are ad breaks which I didn't like. As it happens there is a ship of the Cat people. All the little things that cats do gets referenced here. Rodon is the leader and main villain. He wants to be worshipped. There is a stone of Anubis that he wants. He orders these clerics to be executed. They escape and hope to run into their God. Meanwhile on board Red Dwarf things go as they always do. There is worry over how Lister has been behaving. Mention of him being the last human. There is the Ouroboros episode that I thought of. As a back up disc of the A.I. Holly was found, they booted him up. It leads to complications. The crew are on board Starbug drifting further into space. Calamity ensues. The chanting was cringe worthy. The opening credits shows various scenes could be spoilers. You will recognise some actors. I don't know if there will be anything after this. Good soundtrack. Chris Barry, Craig Charles, Danny John Jules, Robert Lewellyn, Norman Lovett. An action adventure that I recommend.

Peace by any means necessary
Peacemaker is a TV show from DC and WB. Created by James Gunn. Events take place after The Suicide Squad. An action comedy series. Starring
John Cena
Danielle Brooks
Freddie Stroma
Chukwudi Iwuji
Jennifer Holland
Steve Agee
Robert Patrick
A few of characters have returned. The opening credits is something else. Chris aka Peacemaker has come out of hospital. He should be heading back to prison. He is given an opportunity to work for a special team. He will have a few different cases to deal with. I know that James Gunn has a mixed soundtrack like he did with Guardians Of The Galaxy. I am not keen on some of the songs. I hadn't watched the show as I wasn't keen on the character. Some people watching will be triggered. You have new girl Leota, a black woman who is in a lesbian relationship. I don't like the way other team members treat her. She can be annoying. Harcourt is hot. Though a bit of a bitch. She can definitely handle herself. Chris's dad is a Republican. With the dialogue and fights they do push the envelope. Nice body on John and the woman that he has sex with. Good tits. As also on Harcourt and Amber. Does contain violence, swearing, sex and nudity. You do feel a little sorry for Chris. He isn't so much like his dad. Amanda Waller is still running things. I recommend seeing the film first. I was impressed by this closet scene. Good special effects. There is this pet Eagle. See the reaction channels. There are references and cameos ahead. A second season has been given the green light. It airs on HBO Max however it is restricted to America just like with the CW. I saw it on this site. Here is a VPN to use.
I went to the cinema to watch The Batman. A film that triggered that small dicked gimp Kinel. Grabbed his pubes and screaming "reeeeee" all because of a fucking line? Also as it has black actors. A film by Matt Reeves. It is a dark film, clever too. They focus on the detective work alot as the other films had done but more here. Interesting shooting locations. Good action sets. You hear the theme music for certain characters. All the actors killed it in their roles. Special mention to Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Jeffrey Wright, Paul Dano. I like the history of the Wayne family. Andy Serkis, John Turturro are in supporting roles. Bruce Wayne has fighting crime as The Batman for some time now. His faithful butler Alfred by his side. He is young, goth like. The villain of this piece being the Ridler. He has a vendetta against the people of Gotham. Clever riddles are left. Something for the audience to take part in guessing, I was wondering what he must be suffering from. Set design, costumes, props and effects were done well. You might enjoy the soundtrack. You have Penguin running his club. Catwoman working undercover looking for her own answers, she is sexy. Falcone is a big mob boss. Commissioner Jim Gordon is working on the latest case and relies on Batman. It is definitely worth taking a look at. There are no post or mid credits. Why do some of these reviewers include spoilers? I am only typing this stuff as I want to. I had seen Paul in Swiss Army Man. Robert did great in Tennet. There are impressive scenes which I won't mention. One critic on Rotten Tomatoes found this film to be too dark especially with current events. She is entitled to her opinion no matter how stupid it sounds. I am vengeance.
I watched The Batman vs Dracula. Have seen some clips on YouTube. I was intrigued at the concept. There is a season opener of Buffy and the Blade Trinity film which also features the legendary character. An animated movie. These were more popular than live action. Closer to the comics. Beginning with a prison breakout. The Penguin and Joker are after some treasure. Said to be located in a cemetery. The coffin of a certain vampire is also located here. Once he has been resurrected he goes about infecting civilians. Batman must try to fight Dracula and cure the citizens. Vicky Vale is a reporter and love interest. Alfred the butler is always on hand. It is good that there are other staff and not just Alfred on his own. Nice soundtrack. Good visuals. You might also like Batman Ninjago and Gotham By Gaslight. Cast: Rino Romano-
Bruce Wayne / The Batman,
Peter Stormare-
Dracula,
Kevin Michael Richardson-
The Joker,
Tom Kenny-
Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin,
Alastair Duncan-
Alfred Pennyworth,
Tara Strong-
Vicky Vale.

Video killed the...
I watched V/H/S/94. It is sequel. Part of the VHS series. All found footage. Indie amateur film. They are an anthology. Different film makers come together to produce a horror short. Some reason I felt that I had watched it before. It was released in 2021. Impressed with the special visual effects, acting, set design. All original stories. I recommend that you also see the previous films, also The ABCs Of Death, The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Cloverfield. The found footage style hasn't been used in years. The main story involves a swat team going to a cult's hideout. Other stories involve a news report, an advert, these American survivalists, a mad scientist. Mixed reviews on Shudder.
I watched Rec 4: Apocalypse. A Spanish horror film. I recommend the other Rec and Quarantine films. You will have seen Resident Evil, World War Z, 28 Days Later. It was released in 2014. I wasn't sure if had seen it then. So rented it in 2022. A few people that were in the infected zones are now on board a large ship. Angela is the TV news reporter. You have some Swat/soldiers, the crew, the grandmother from a wedding and scientists. There is this great rock song that plays. Angela looks great. Very gory and violent. The virus was described as being demonic. An outbreak happens and the cast must do what they can to survive.
I finally took a dive and watched Malignant. The trailer doesn't reveal too much but as the film went on I was guessing the back story of the characters. Maddie is a woman living in Seattle. You even see the origins of the villain Gabriel. Maddie is in an abusive relationship. Has suffered miscarriages. She is pregnant and a house invasion happens. You have her actor sister that comes to visit. She has visions of when Gabriel attacks his victims. The detective Kekoa assigned to the case is a handsome man and I thought he would have chemistry with the sister Sydney. He is with his partner Regina. In one scene he is pretty bad ass. With the twists revealed later are kind of fucked up. The forensics, evidence woman seems to be obsessed with the detective. James Wan is a great film maker. You will have seen the Saw and Insidious films. Impressive effects. Good cast of actors. You might like the soundtrack. I like the opening theme music which is When your walls fall by Celldweller.
There are trivia on imdb to look at. With the discussions most likely focus on certain characters. What would happen after the end of the film? On YouTube as the trailer was clicked on, further below in the recommendations were videos about the ending. Stupid even to have it there. Annabelle Wallis stars. I have only seen a few things that she was in. From a scene in the film which shows the underground town beneath modern Seattle I am interested to find out more. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt3811906/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_3
Countdown is a horror movie. I watched it on Netflix. It has been out for a few years. There is an app available for download on the app store. It is called Countdown. There user must obey the terms and conditions. It predicts when a person will die. Starts off with a group of friends at a party using the app. Our protagonist is a new nurse called Quinn. She downloaded it out of curiosity as some of these characters do. I also find that when there seems to be a threat you don't go towards it. Anyway she is given 3 days and she wants to prevent the inevitable. Impressive visual effects. I am reminded of Final Destination, The Ring, Happy Death Day, Truth Or Dare, Nerve, Candyman, Hellbound. It is a good film. I like the soundtrack. Elizabeth Lail is hot. You will recognise Matt Lescher. Surprised to see Tom Segura.

Quite a trip
I watched Synchronic. A scifi drama from the makers of The Endless. Starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan. Two paramedics working in the New Orleans. They have things going on at home. One is ill and the other has his marriage that has issues. The victims in each case have been taking a designer drug. The side effects leads them to time travel. Dennis's daughter Brianna goes missing and so Mackie's character Steve tries to figure out a way to get her back. Impressive special effects, acting and soundtrack. I like the concept. May need to see the science behind it. Check out the trivia and discussion. In one scene I spotted one the extras that is playing a corpse. He shifts his leg and moves his hand lower as Mackie passes. But it isn't a bad film. You should see The Endless, The Jacket, Chronical.
I decided to watch Willy's Wonderland. A horror comedy from Signature. Tongue in cheek, action packed. Starring Nicolas Cage as a man travelling through America. He is a passing a small town. His car breaks down. So whilst it is being repaired. He owes the mechanic money. He is hired by the theme park owner to pay off the debt by cleaning up the building. Meanwhile you have these animatronic puppets. The characters from the park come alive at night. Later on a back story is given. The Janitor barely says much. Not sure what the glance between him and Liv is about. Kathy is one of the friends. She is hot, liking the tits and ass. The other teens in the group know about the history of the park and want it destroyed. You have cgi, puppetry and stunt work in costumes. The Janitor is pretty bad ass. Cage is a great actor. Just because of the damn memes they don't take him seriously. Worth taking a look. Soundtrack is good. Reminded of a few films that I recommend: Five Nights At Freddy's, Cooties, Ash Vs Evil Dead, Gremlins, Westworld, Zombieland, Child's Play. Emily Tosta, Beth Grant and others star.
I watched Splinter again in a long while. It is an independent horror film. Starring Shea Whigham, Jill Wagner, Charles Baker, Paulo Costanzo, Rachel Kerbs, Laurel Whitsett.
Director Toby Wilkins
A young couple who are quite mismatched are on a camping trip. The boyfriend Seth is a PhD graduate and nerdy. His girlfriend Polly is hot, has a nice pair of tits. The have the unfortunate encounter with a convict Dennis and his girlfriend Lacey on the run from the law. They all are in the car. Meanwhile because of some experiment I believe there is this parasite. Infecting any host that is in it's way. Spikes come out of it. This is a good film. Quite gory. You might also like Slither, The Thing. Good soundtrack. Great acting and special effects.
Monster Hunter is an action scifi adventure film by Paul W. S. Anderson. Starring: Milla Jovovich; Tony Jaa; Clifford "T. I." Harris; Meagan Good; Diego Boneta; Josh Helman; Jin Au-Yeung; Ron Perlman.
I saw the trailer and noticed mixed reviews. Milla has been in a few good films. Not the greatest actor but does a good enough job. She plays a Ranger named Captain Artemis. Her team of military soldiers are on some mission in the desert. A storm is brewing nearby. They are sucked into a portal taking them to another world. They encounter monsters. Meanwhile on this planet is the Hunter and his people on a boat type vehicle when they are attacked. I like how some characters in films from different worlds have an understanding. At 38 mins I was about to fall asleep. I could have stopped watching. I had been working in the day. I did hope the military scenes would not be clichéd. The sort of thing Tropic Thunder would parody. Impressive creature designs. FX aren't bad. Plenty of action. I did think that this would be about an entire team. The soundtrack is electro, synthwave. Good cast of actors especially Tony Jaa. Milla looking good. T. I was in this despite some recent controversy. Some reason her character reminded me of Katherine Hepburn. You might also like Mad Max, Monsters, Godzilla, Love And Monsters, A Quiet Place, Dune, Stargate. There is some mid credits scene which doesn't make sense. Doubt there will be a sequel.
Monday 3 January 2022
Archive
I have watched Archive. A scifi drama. I believe that I may have seen it before. Written and directed by Gavin Rothery. Impressive special effects and acting. A scientist and inventor named George is living at a laboratory in Japan. An attractive cast too. His wife had passed away some time ago. Her consciousness is stored in this giant computer. He had been building robots as to try and bring her back to life. An impressive soundtrack. There is his boss that is keeping him in check. You have J1 that has a mind of a child. J2 that is like a teenager and J3 that is the adult version. The actress plays Jules and various versions of her. You do feel for the characters. Good robotics and puppeteering. J3 is made humanoid however I prefer her in a robotic look. In the bar scene. The Assessor has his cigar in his mouth. He goes to hand George a photo. Cut to a wide shot the cigar is in his hand. Back to close up and the cigar is in his mouth. I remember Theo in the Divergent series and Rhona cosplayed Lara Croft.
I had watched this scifi drama on Netflix. It is possible that I may have seen it before on DVD.
There are outsiders that may try to get to the secrets. You might also like Robocop, Terminator, Chappie, Short Circuit, Transcendence, The Machine, I Am Mother, Blade Runner, Ex Machina, The Matrix, Humans. Theo James, Stacy Martin, Toby Jones, Lia Williams, Karen Gagnon, Richard Glover.
I have watched Chronical 2067. I have a feeling that I had seen it before. But it could be the first time. An Australian film. Written and directed by Seth Larney. Good special effects. Great cast of actors especially Kodi. I had seen Deborah in a film years back. Impressive soundtrack. Far into the future in a post apocalyptic world. Resources are scarce. Oxygen is a currency. It is running out. You have Ethan, a young man working in the mines. His friend Jude is there too. The head of an organisation has enlisted him for a mission. One that could help the human race survive. A message from the future was sent to the lab. Ethan is sent there to find a cure. I was figuring a few things out. Some things you will question. Scifi drama. Kodi Smit-McPhee; Ryan Kwanten; Leeanna Walsman; Aaron Glenane; Deborah Mailman. You might also like The Tomorrow War, Prospect, The Time Machine.
I have watched Mother/Android. Starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Algee Smith, Raul Castillo. Looking at the trailer the people in the comments were slating the film even before they have seen it. But anyway ignore them. A scifi drama. You might have seen I Am Mother, Robocop, Terminator, iRobot, Humans, Better Than US, Westworld, The Matrix, Archive, The Machine, Ex Machina and Extinction. Androids had been built to serve humans in the future. There is a moment where the machines turn on their masters. A post apocalyptic world is created. Georgia is with her boyfriend. She is pregnant. There is a community in Boston that guarantee safety. They must make the journey there. I was expecting some twist. The soldiers well one especially was an arsehole. Nice scary moments with the Androids being on the hunt. Good cast of actors. Nice work on special effects. I like the soundtrack. I am also reminded of The Walking Dead, A Quiet Place, Zombieland, Love And Monsters, Bird Box, Stakeland. It was on Netflix. Mattson Tomlin and Matt Reeves were the creators.
The synopsis and cast details are below. I had watched Maika in It Follows. Julia is a career criminal. Steals what she can and trades it for money. The woman that she deals with played Grace in Doctor Who. Alex is a scientist and inventor. He kidnaps her amongst others. Uses them for experiments. He wants build a super computer A.I. He is under pressure from the board of directors. Tau is this artificial intelligence that runs the home. You have a huge security robot that is menacing. I expected certain characters to die first. As they made mistakes that led to them getting killed. As I enjoy Saw, Exam, Circle, Escape Room I would watch this. There could be an element of Stockholm Syndrome or it was expected. Julia will do what she can to outsmart Tau and Alex. A good soundtrack. Nice effects. Bizarre escape scene in the beginning. A good cast of actors. I hadn't realised that Gary voiced Tau. You would be reminded of Oblivion, Old Boy, 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Divide, Room, 2001 A Space Odyssey, I Am Mother, Terminator, Robocop, Demon Seed, Saturn 3. The Wilhelm Scream is used and I don't know why. Worth taking a look.
A woman trapped inside a sadistic genius' smart house must somehow get past the advanced artificial intelligence guarding her.

Big Bug is a French scifi comedy. Set in the far future. Alice is someone that though living in the future often is reminiscent of the past. Has a vintage collection. All retro items. She has a few robots in her home. Her guests are Max and Leo. The neighbour Francoise comes to visit. The ex husband Victor turns up bringing the daughter Nina and new girlfriend Jennifer. Meanwhile there is an uprising. The robots are out to get the humans. Monique and her fellow machines decide to lock the house with the humans within it to protect them. But the humans have other ideas. I have seen a few films where you have a group of people couped up together. The actors have fun with it. Definitely dedicated to their craft. This could be a theatre play. Great visual effects, costumes, acting. Nice soundtrack. Pretty women. Nice bodies on Nina and Jennifer. Does have a good sense of humour. I saw it on Netflix. It must have been made recently. A fair bit of nudity. It does get philosophical. Stand out performances and I am naming by character are Monique, Einstein, Yonyx. Worth taking a look. You might also like Humans, Better Than Us, Chappie, I Am Mother, Mother/Android, Tau, Lucy, Ghost In A Shell, Terminator, Robocop, Replicas, The Matrix, The Machine, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Demon Seed, Archive, Ex Machina, Short Circuit, Saturn 3.

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.

Don't hang up
I have just watched The Call. A Korean scifi horror. Great acting from the cast. The two leading ladies really stand out. Superb special effects. The soundtrack is good. Plenty of twists. You have the regular time travel films, the time loop ones then ones like this where two inviduals separated by time communicate with each other. These Korean films have always been good. The first that I ever saw was Oldboy.
Director: Lee Chung-hyeon
Starring: Park Shin-hye; Jeon Jong-seo
Music by: Dalpalan

Oh Jung-se as Seong-ho
Lee Dong-hwi as Baek Mi-hyun
Park Ho-san as Mr. Kim (Seo-yeon's father)
You have Seo-Yeon living her life in a small town in 2020. She receives a call on a cordless phone. From a young woman named Young-Sook in 1999. Young lives with her abusive stepmother. Seo lives with mother. They both inhabit the same house but in different decades. As they have more conversations. Subtle things along the time line change. I find the concept interesting. Frequency and The Lake House are other films that I recommend. Dark and clever film. I will look at theories and discussions. I may take a look at Parasite. I saw this on Netflix. Highly recommended.
I am currently watching Hellbound. A Korean horror drama TV series. It is quite dark and sinister. First of all you have a detective and his daughter. He is busy investigating the recent attacks that have taken place. The mother was murdered a few years ago. The police chief is understanding yet strict. There is a church or a cult called The New Truth Society. You could compare them to Westboro Baptist Church. They are wanting people to live a life free of sin. Those that do wrong will be exposed and punished. Their leader is charismatic, young, handsome. He is in the limelight. The actor playing him does a fantastic job. That also goes for every cast member. The Arrowhead are an evil bunch of thugs. They are associated with the church. Brutal scenes. I like the attorney, she is attractive, does the best that she can. Not everything is black and white. There is this streamer in multicolour and is somewhat annoying. He is broadcasting what went on regarding the church and doxxes people. The trailer that was shown is the first scene. An angelic figure appears to an individual telling them of when they will die. Once that day arrives these Hulk like demons appear and unleash hell on the victim. Finally taking their soul to Hell. There are many believers but also some sceptics. You do get reveals early on in the series. If you liked Squid Game, Death Note, Final Destination, Constantine, Saw then this is for you. Interested to see what the reaction channels make of it. Maybe the cgi could do with some work. Some actors may be familiar to you. I recommend Old Boy, The Call.

I have started to watch Squid Game. A Korean horror series. It had been getting rave reviews. I enjoyed watching Saw, Circle, Exam, Escape Room, The Task, Takeshi's Castle, Wipeout. So I would eventually see this. The soundtrack is good. A secret organisation has organised a series of games. People who are in debt have entered to play. It is a matter of life and death. The winner would receive a large cash sum. Great acting from the cast and extras. The props and costume department have done well. There is swearing and violence. The games are based on kids games. I was trying to understand the instructions in the opening credits scene. I see why they had that main theme tune. It is a little tongue in cheek. The protagonist or one of the main characters is a man living with his mother. He should treat his mother with more respect. He sees his daughter on her birthday. Some might call him a deadbeat dad. You do dislike him at first. I felt sorry for him. Quite like the businessman that approached him at the station. You have memes and parodies of the show. People will dress as the characters for Halloween. On Netflix. There is talk of a second series. You have an ominous looking leader that watches as the games are played. There is humour. I watch it with original dialogue with English subtitles. I noticed the Indian guy there. Worth taking a look.

Train To Busan is a Korean horror movie. A businessman is always working. He has split from his wife. There is shared custody of their young daughter. As her birthday approaches. They go on a trip to see the mother. Meanwhile a zombie outbreak is happening. Interesting to have it set on a train. Good acting from all cast and extras. There is some annoying things eg the daughter wandering off, people not getting a move on, a questionable decision to open a door. A variety of characters. Personalities clash. The actor that is the protagonist was recently in Squid Game. You might have seen 28 Days Later, La Horde, Dawn Of The Dead, Zombieland, I Am Legend. Nice soundtrack.

The fate of the world is in your hands
I have just watched The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt, Betty Gilpin, Jk Simmons. A Sci fi action film. Amazon Prime presentation. Made by Paramount and Sky Dance. It does have a good mix of actors. Great special effects. Interesting plot. Good soundtrack provided by Lorne Balfe. Beginning in the year 2022. Soldiers from the future have arrived. They come with a warning. In the year 2051 the aliens have invaded. People are being recruited to go fight in a future war. I did predict a character appearing in the future. Alien creatures are fascinating and scary. The protagonist is a science teacher named Dan. He has a wife and daughter. His father that he barely speaks to. It is a 2 hour movie. If you liked Independence Day, Battlefield LA, Arrival, Terminator, Edge Of Tomorrow, Alien, Predator, Jurassic Park then this is for you.

A horror film that I am watching on Netflix. Circle is a psychological film. If you like Saw and similar films then you might want to check it out. Full cast
There are 50 people. 49 will die. There can only be one winner. They get to vote on who dies next. You have a child actor. With all that language in the room. Great special effects. Superb cast of actors. Made an ensemble cast to bring it to the table. See IMDb for trivia and see what each of their filmography. I will look at the discussion. Twists expected. There is an actress from Buffy in this. I was reminded of the Bad Wolf episode. Please click on the ads. I have seen most of these films. Stay safe and wash your hands.
I watched a scifi action film called Spectral. A Netflix original. The American military have gone to Europe. There is a scientist and tech specialist in Virginia. He is recruited to help the soldiers. Around the city there are these ghostly beings. One touch will kill a man. It is an interesting concept. Having watched till the end I like the origin of the creatures. Largely an unknown cast. Good soundtrack and effects. Worth taking a look. IMDb
