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. They are bringing back Symbiotes. Unfortunately things don't go to plan. The Venom Symbiote has been heading towards San Francisco. You also have Riot the team leader on his way to the labs. Carlton Drake is a CEO. He wants these creatures to work with the human race. Eddie Brock is an investigative journalist. He is intent on bringing Drake down. His girlfriend Anna has split up. You have Dr Dan and Mrs Chen. Good soundtrack.

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. 

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 Park Shin-hye as Kim Seo-yeon[2] Jeon Jong-seo as Oh Young-sook[3] Kim Sung-ryung as Eun-ae, Seo-yeon's mother. Lee El as Ja-ok, Young-sook's mother 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 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.

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. Yoo Ah-in as Jeong Jin-soo, a cult leader, the head of the emerging religion 'New Truth Society' Park Sang-hoon as young Jeong Jin-soo Kim Hyun-joo as Min Hye-jin, an attorney Park Jeong-min as Bae Young-jae, Broadcasting Station PD Won Jin-ah as Song So-hyun, Bae Young-jae's wife Yang Ik-june as Jin Kyeong-hoon, detective Kim Do-yoon Kim Shin-rok as Park Jeong-ja Ryu Kyung-soo as Yoo Ji, priest of the cult Lee Re as Jin Hee-jeong, Jin Kyeong-hoon's daughter Im Hyeong-guk as Gong Hyeong-joon, sociology professor

I have started watching Ash Vs Evil Dead. Developed for TV by Sam Raimi. Based on the films. 30 years later. Ash is living the quiet life. He has his camper van. Works at a department store. Goes on dates. He has a young colleague named Pablo that always has his back. There is new girl Kelly that also works there. You have an FBI agent named Amanda that had been following a case. The special effects can be cheesy. Plenty of gore and violence. Contains swearing. The Deadites are causing havoc and will follow Ash. Far too much screaming in the finale. Side boob shots with nipples. Comedy horror. I recommend the films too. You may have also watched Ghostbusters, Supernatural, Constantine, Stranger Things, The X-Files. Showing on Netflix.

Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Dana Delorenzo, Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, Jill Marie Jones. Great acting from all cast members. You might like the soundtrack.

Hello? Is it me that you're looking for?

I watched The Call on NowTv Sky Cinema. A supernatural horror. Starring Lin Shaye, Tobin Bell, Chester Rushing, Erin Sanders, Sloane Morgan Siegel, Mike C Manning, Ciara Hanna. Set in a small town in the 80s. There is Chris, a new guy. Moved to the town and started school. He befriended Tonya who is hot. Her ex boyfriend is Zack and his brother Brett make up the group. They are trouble makers. Edward and Edith Cranston are an elderly couple living in a mansion. As Tonya's sister went missing years ago. Edith had got the blame. The teens would torment the Cranstons. Edith had committed suicide. She included the teens in her will. Edward had to gather them together at the home. They must take part in a game. Very creepy. You might like the soundtrack. Good special effects. You have some great actors here. I have watched a lot of Shaye's films. Bell, only with the Saw franchise. Rushing was in Stranger Things. There is a line in the film where he says "I have seen stranger things..." that has to have been intentional. If you liked the Insidious then this is for you. I also recommend It Follows. Worth checking out.
