I have started watching season 2 of Les Revenants aka The Returned. I watched season 1 many years ago on Channel 4. I may have started season 2 back then but did not finished. Had to see how it pans out. Essentially it is a French horror drama. Set in a small village. The deceased residents have returned. They don't realise that they are dead. Want to carry on with life as normal. Some found it hard to adapt. There are a variety of characters. There was some sex and nudity. It was a good show. A few main protagonists. A young boy that is quiet and creepy. There was a serial killer on the loose. A major confrontation between the residents. You might also like La Horde, District 9, Big Bug, L'Haine, Taxi.

Les Revenants
In an idyllic French Alpine village, a seemingly random collection of people find themselves in a state of confusion as they attempt to return to their homes. What they do not yet know is that they have been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back. Buried secrets emerge as they grapple with this miraculous and sinister new reality, struggling to reintegrate with their families and past lovers. But it seems they are not the only ones back from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of gruesome murders that bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past... Stars Anne Consigny, Frederic Pierrot, Clotilde Hesme.

The last starfighter
If you are interested in Ebooks
The Adam Project is a scifi drama starring Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, Mark Ruffalo, Walker Scobell, Zoe Saldana, Alex Mallari Jr. A Netflix film directed by Shawn Levy. In 2050 time travel is possible. A mature man named Adam is on his time ship and is being chased by Sorian with her team of soldiers. He flies through a wormhole landing in 2022 where he meets his 12 year old self. His mother is a single parent. The father had passed away. Adam's wife had gone missing. He was intending to go save her. The child actor is good. He and Ryan have good chemistry. Both able to play different versions of the same character. Good special effects. The cgi/deepfake for young Sorian is obvious. The stunt scenes aren't bad. Interesting what happens to person when killed. Nice sentimental moments. As you would get from a time travel film. People were saying how this is like those classic live action Disney films. This does contain swearing and violence. Reynolds was a producer. Worth checking out. Nice soundtrack. Will look at the trivia and discussion. A few actors that have been involved with the Marvel franchise. I wasn't entirely convinced of the relationship between Adam and his wife. That's because of the actors. If you look at the Cduniverse website you will find many similar films. You might like Flight Of The Navigator, The Last Starfighter, The Kid, Looper, The Tomorrow War, The Time Traveller's Wife, About Time, I'll Follow You Down, The Jacket, Frequency,The Butterfly Effect, The Time Machine, Primer, Back To The Future, Doctor Who, Predestination, Project Almanac, Shifter, Edge Of Tomorrow, Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day, Triangle, Boss Level, In The Shadow Of The Moon.

I started watching Werewolves Within. A horror comedy which I saw a teaser clip of. I found the dialogue and acting cringe worthy so stopped at 1h21m59 seconds left. Set in some northern town. A new Ranger has been assigned his post. A monster lurks somewhere. But anyway this film is released by Signature. The filming location was interesting.
I started watching The Privilege. A German horror film. 1 m 28 m to go. As I will be up in the morning for gym. Some creature was pursuing the children in the house. The older sister is hysterical. I remember seeing the specific bridge in some show or movie. Fast forward to the college years. The son is getting therapy. His twin sister is hot. He is invited to a party. Later sees his Grandpa. Interesting location. I listened to the original audio with subtitles. There are weird beings lurking. The family is hiding a secret. Some pretty cast members notably Sophie and Samira. There is a moderate sex scene. Pills are being given to the teens. Maybe look at trivia. Techno soundtrack. Good cast of actors. Currently on Netflix. You get to see Finn the protagonist live his daily life. See him investigate into what has been going on. They are a middle class family living in luxury. Cast.

French Dispatch
I started watching The French Dispatch Of The Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun. As it has been a long day I stopped midway. A Wes Anderson film. Slow paced. Comedy drama. Quite surreal. A star studded cast. I stopped watching again. The cinematography is good. I do try to work out what is going on. The narrator spoke about this newspaper company. Acts like an anthology. Each story is by a different journalist. The aspect ratio is different. Some pretty women. Nice tits on show. It is mainly in black and white. Some colour scenes. Set in 1920s to 70s. There is a prisoner that is an artist. The one woman working here is his muse. The art dealer has shown great interest in him. There are humorous moments. Each scene or camera shot looks like a fine art painting. Some shots where the people are frozen in position. Lingering looks towards the camera. To the people that don't know his work it will be confusing and boring. It is on Disneyplus. I may look at reviews and discussions if I can be bothered. Some cast members have returned to work with Wes. Another chapter has a journalist following a youth activist movement. Then you have a TV interview with a food critic. Events take place in a fictional French city. The soundtrack is nice. Clever dialogue. Wes is definitely an artist. I had seen Adrien Brody at a shift that I worked at in 2011.

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-

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.
