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.

A chapter from the Book Of The Dead
I went to the cinema to see Evil Dead Rise. Directed by Sam Raimi and also produced by Bruce Campbell. I had booked as soon as I was awake. It was unfortunately subtitled. There was this huge fly that was pissing me off. Hanging around for a while. I felt that the trailer showed too much. This film has been getting praised. Good special effects. Great cast of actors. The two leading ladies are hot. I am sure those that were thirsting over Lady D from Resident Evil 8 will now simp over Sutherland. Set in Los Angeles. There is an opening scene from the cabin by the lake. Where trouble had already started. So LA takes place the day before. An old building that used to be a bank. There are a variety of people living there. The main protagonists, the family seem quite liberal. Leading an alternative lifestyle. An earthquake happens. Now it could have been intentional. Ellie runs her own business. She has three kids. The youngest is Kassie, Bridget is socially conscious, planning to go to a protest. Danny loves his music and has dj equipment. Beth is a guitar technician. She realises that she is pregnant. She goes to visit her relatives. The Book Of The Dead is found in a vault. Partly Danny's fault for this shit happening. I did wonder how this film connects to the the other films and tv series. If Ash Williams would make an appearance but it would not work. Pretty soon a demon has been released. Takes hold of Ellie. I like that no one is safe. Plenty of violence and gore. It will have jump scares which didn't bother me. You should see Alyssa Sutherland react to the tweets from the fans. Will there be anymore films? I am not sure why the man was shouting at the cast during the premiere. Maybe an antisjw conservative. I didn't stay to see if there was an end credits scene.

Goodbye Mr Wick
Keanu Reeves · Laurence Fishburne · George Georgiou · Lance Reddick · Clancy Brown · Ian McShane · Marko Zaror · Bill Skarsgård - Hiroyuki Sanada - Shamier Anderson - Donnie Yen - Rina Sawayama.
John Wick Chapter 4 from Lionsgate. The final film. Action Thriller. Saw this at the cinema.
John is still on the run. He has his sights on The High Table. They have sent The Harbinger. Closing down operations at the hotel. Putting Winston and Charon out of a job. The Marquis has arrived. He wants Wick dead. Caine has been hired to kill John. There is a Tracker that wants the money and offers his services. Plenty of action. With one scene you could see the choreography and stunt work it was obvious. Misfires and how characters are not dead. Some bad guys had been suited with body armour. There is a scene later on which is impressive due to how creative the kills were. The card game scene was good. The boss has good moves on him. John has enlisted the help of old friends. Impressive cinematography. Nice soundtrack. Lance Reddick has only just passed away. Great acting and special effects. There is a post credits scene. There is talk of spin offs. There will be trivia to look at. Some questions are being asked. Worth taking a look. The whole series was good. Eva Longoria was a producer and backer for the first film. I had seen her at a shift that I worked at.
I did find the view obscured from this blonde sitting in the front. A bit of chatter from the side.

Who is there?
Horror movies at Cduniverse
I have just watched Knock At The Cabin. An M Night Shyamalan film. Horror drama. A young gay couple Andrew and Eric have gone to stay at this nice cabin in the countryside. With them is their cute adopted daughter Wen. A burly man approached the home. His name is Leonard. He is soon joined by Redmond, Adriane and Sabrina. All of them from different states. Now they speak of an apocalypse. The only way to stop it is for a sacrifice. They could be telling the truth. However they might just be a doomsday cult and nothing will actually happen. I like with these films by this director. You will be kept guessing. Great acting by all of the cast. Especially Dave Bautista. The group aren't really that threatening but are convinced that the world is about to end. You can see that the characters are conflicted. I haven't seen anything that Rupert Grint was in beside Harry Potter. Based on the novel The Cabin At The End Of The World by Paul G Tremblay. You might also like Cabin In The Woods, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Don't Look Up, Mother's Day, The Strangers. Worth checking out. Dave Bautista, Ben Aldridge, Jonathan Groff, Steve Sacavitch, Kristen Cui, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
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.
