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.

I have started watching La Brea. A scifi drama series starring Natalie Zea · Eve Harris ; Eoin Macken · Gavin Harris ; Chiké Okonkwo · Ty Coleman ; Zyra Gorecki · Izzy Harris ; Jack Martin · Josh Harris.
Similar films and shows are Lost, The Langoliers, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, The Time Machine, Doctor Who, Terra Firma, Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, The Outer Limits, The Twilight Zone, Stranger Things. Saw a quick Imdb review but you should avoid that. They do establish a few things. I have my theories. There will be explanations online. An independent show. A giant sinkhole opens up in the middle of Los Angeles. There is a family who are the protagonists. Eve is the mother. A milf. Might be significant that she is called Eve. She has a son and daughter. The ex husband has been having visions. It kind of alludes to who might be a love interest. People and objects fell into the hole only to be transported to another place. A stoner guy named Scott, a psychiatrist, a cop, a doctor and his daughter are amongst the characters introduced. This government agency is investigating. Special effects will be as good as they can be. Apocalyptic. There are unknown threats waiting. Interesting filming locations.

Kill or be killed

I have watched Prey on Disney Plus. First of all the white supremacist colonizers were triggered. Fuck their feelings. It is not all about you. Amber Midthunder · Naru ; Dakota Beavers · Taabe ; Dane DiLiegro · Predator ; Stormee Kipp · Wasape ; Michelle Thrush · Aruka. This is a scifi horror. A prequel in the Predator series. Set in 1719 in America. The Comanche Nation are indigenous people. Living their lives. The pilgrims aka Europeans would not be far off. The protagonist Naru wants to be treated as an equal. She is a skilled fighter and hunter. There is a rite of passage, a hunt taking place. She must deal with the patriarchy. A lone Predator has landed. He is there for sport. Interesting in how it appears. Resembles more Native American. The weapons matching closer to this century than like that of the other films. Nice special effects. It shows you what the Predator gets up to if no humans are around. Whatever the creature everything is being hunted. Be interested to see the youtube reactions. You have the French men also looking to hunt. Not sure why it wasn't in the cinema. Nice soundtrack. A new version of the main theme. Great cinematography. The director was involved with 10 Cloverfield Lane. You might also like The Revenant. Good action scenes. I like strong female characters. There are references to the other films. Worth taking a look.

It's all about family

I have watched a Finnish horror movie called Hatching. Noticed how attractive the people are in this town. There is a pretty gross scene which I won't go into. This ideal family living in the suburbs. There was a bird that had made it's way into the house. Later on the daughter Tinja finds an egg. She decides to keep it in her room. It hatches and there is a bird like human clone. She gives it the name Alli. They have a psychic connection. Sophia Heikkila, Siiri Solalinna. The young actress is good at gymnastics like her character. The mother is attractive. Overbearing, having an affair, vlogging. The dad does his own thing. The young brother seems to have a hatred for his sister. There has be some kind of metaphor regarding this story. You might also like The New Daughter.

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.

Dinosaurs ruled the Earth




I went to see Jurassic World Dominion at the cinema. Starring
Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, DeWanda Wise, Mamoudou Athie, BD Wong, Omar Sy, Campbell Scott. This is the final film in the series. The cast from the original trilogy and recent actors are in this. This made reference to the original. Four years after the last film. Humans are having to coexist with the dinosaurs. It is definitely a post apocalyptic world. An interesting story. Claire and Owen are living out in the woods. Maisie is with them. Certain dinosaurs are being rescued from cruelty. It doesn't shy away from gruesome deaths. There is plenty of swearing. I noticed children in the theatre. They were accompanied by an adult. People did nip to the toilet. I wasn't sure if some had decided to leave. It is a cert 12A. Biosyn is another company dealing in genetics. Many groups have taken an interest in what the dinosaurs have to offer. Some men want to take Maisie away. A swarm of locusts have been attacking farms. Dr Sattler and Dr Grant have gone to the organisation to get evidence. Dr Malcolm has written another book and gives lectures at the facility. You have the ceo who has a likeness to Jobs and Gates. Bryce has fantastic breasts. The dinosaurs are great. There is a variety out there. Good cast of actors. The soundtrack can overwhelm the scene. There is a 007 Mission Impossible vibe. Worth taking a look. See the trivia.

What's your favourite scary movie?

Scream 5 released in 2022. Starring a mixed cast.  New actors and some from previous films. Makes  references to the horror genre, Wes Craven, the original film and toxic fans. No doubt this will trigger them. I didn't bother with the 4th film. I only saw parts of it. Great acting from all the cast.  Neve and David looked for their age. You have suspicions of certain characters. The film hints that anyone could be a killer. People getting wounded yet somehow surviving. Set 25 years later. A teenage girl is the first to be attacked. Her sister has to return to the town. There is a family secret.  Sidney, Gail and Dewey are contacted for help. Some creative kills. Good effects. The soundtrack is good. I believe this to be the final film. Starring: Melissa Barrera; Mason Gooding; Jenna Ortega; Jack Quaid; Marley Shelton; Courteney Cox; David Arquette; Neve Campbell.



Melissa Barrera
Jasmin Savoy Brown
Jack Champion
Henry Czerny
Mason Gooding
Liana Liberato
Dermot Mulroney
Devyn Nekoda
Jenna Ortega
Tony Revolori
Josh Segarra
Samara Weaving
Hayden Panettiere
Courteney Cox
Scream 6. A sequel within the franchise. I believe that they could have ended the story with the 5th film. I did hope that this was it. But apparently there was an end credits scene which I didn't stay for. Set in New York. You have returning characters. Some new ones too. The women are hot. I did wonder if Hayden had work done. Melissa and Jenny look hot. Nice running scene. The kills are creative and I wanted to see the heroes fight back. I watched this at the cinema. I will see it again on streaming sites. The film buff girl was annoying. How can someone that is attacked survive? From a line spoken by a character I understood who the villain was. Neve Campbell was meant to reprise her role but because of a pay dispute she walked away. From the trailer it looked like The Purge. More killers on the loose. From the opening scenes it offers something new. Must check trivia. Having a ghost/memory made it different. It is clever how it references the movie genre. Some of the gang are at college. There is a conspiracy theory blaming Sam for the killings. Good closing and opening music. Good acting and special effects. There will be those that are disappointed with the film. I liked it. I started to question some scenes. Others will too. Look at the reviews and trivia once you have seen the film.
