After seeing some clips and I follow the CW DC universe. I have started watching Superman And Lois. On It is quite dark and emotional. Like with Nolan or Snyder films. It is post crisis Earth. Lois and Clark work at the Daily Planet. The two teenagers Jonathan and Jordan are off to college. I like how the characters are fleshed out. There will be people who can relate to Jordan. A great soundtrack. There is a new antagonist. I won't write about future episodes as it would contain spoilers. I am hoping that Stargirl makes a return. I last watched Justice League. Still tuning in for The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow. I wasn't a fan of Tyler Hoechlin. But he will grow on you. It is like when there is a new Doctor or 007. You are used to older versions. WB are involved in the making of the this show. I am going to see some reaction channels. I enjoyed Bitsie Tulloch in Grimm.

I have started watching Season 2 of Superman & Lois. Tyler Hoechlin, Elizabeth Tulloch, Jordan Elsass, Alex Garfin, Wole Parks. Natalie arrived on this Earth from a parallel universe just like her father John. Has a tough time adjusting. The boys are growing and have girlfriends. Lois is trying to do her job and also cope with having Natalie in her life. Clark trying to save the world one day at a time. As Superman went to rescue a North Korean submarine. Lieutenant Anderson is not pleased. He wants to know that Superman puts American first. He is putting a team together of gifted individuals. Meanwhile a villain for this season is emerging. It has been revealed in interviews who that is. Best just to not look into it. I did think that this season might not be as big as the first one. It is on the CW. Later on the BBC.
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.
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.
I had watched this scifi drama on Netflix. It is possible that I may have seen it before on DVD.
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.
I went to the cinema to watch Spider-man No Way Home. 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.
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.

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.

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.
