Dune: Part Two (2024)
Perfect!
Please keep this going through all six books. This is the absolutely best rendering of a very complex story. The first Dune was OK. The BBC mini series was good. This kicks it out of the ball yard. The characters and acting nail it. Please keep going because this book series deserves this kind of engagement and understanding. The debunking of the messiah myth. The conflict is perfectly recognized in this rendition. I can't wait for the next part of this and seeing how you render the God emperor. I have been a big fan of the books since they came out and have actually used one in one of my classes. Please keep going. Perfect!
Extraction 2 (2023)
Yeah nice but we'll have to reevaluate
Yeah not a bad action flick. Now let's be real. We have seen the Russian military in action. They have barely any body armor. The one's they do have are improvised. Yes fictional but let's not portrait this genocidal regime as any more than it is anymore. It is targeting civilian targets. These war criminals should not be portrait as a functional military but as what they are. Indiscriminately targeting civilians, infrastructure and churches and hospitals. Please stop portraying these war criminals in any other way as they are. This is not against the people of Russia. I know that they have no choice but to agree but against the leaders. Salva Ukraine.
Interview with the Vampire (2022)
Not Anne Rice's story but stay with me
So I normally don't like race swaps but here it actually works. It is not the books but I have to admit that I am actually enjoying it. The homosexuality... Well that could be read into the books. Lestat is phenomenal in his role and it follows the storyline, even if it is loosely. I was not expecting much of this but it definitely has surprised me. There is a great character development and so far it is coherent. It would be nice to see this go on passed the first book and actually delve into some of the more 'controversial' books, from a religious standpoint. I just hope this will try and keep to the soul of the books.
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
Beyond stupid
Aside from the cgi being atrocious the plot is just awful. Maybe the people making this tripe should look at the behavior of different sharks before they try to just piggyback on another movie. Absolute ridiculous nonsense. Don't waste your time! I am not even going to get into the acting which is basically just a few girls screaming under water. I guess they thought that a few good looking girls would make up for the completely ridiculous plot but sorry... No. Just no. This doesn't even classify as bad movie. This is kind of at the end of the alphabet somewhere between X and z. Please don't let these people make another movie and I am pretty disappointed that Netflix picked this crap up.
The Expanse (2015)
Babylon 5 2.0
I know most won't remember Babylon 5 but this show has the same depth and tension Babylon 5 had. Sitting on the edge of your seat every episode. I can just say this is one of the best TV shows I have seen in years!
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Generally a fun action show
We are enjoying this quite a bit. It's fun, action packed and well done. We only wish someone would duct tape Danny (Caan). First he is entertaining, that gets old very fast though and he ends up being simply annoying and ridiculous.
Astro (2018)
Pathetic
I usually do not chime in on reviews. In this case I have to speak my mind. Aside from a story that is just awful to acting that looks like it is a primary school audition and directing and editing that makes you think of a middle school project, the cgi looks a lot like it was done on a C64. Even an Amiga 500 could have been better. Who came up with the idea to finance this. Not even a straight to DVD release would make this watchable. If there is anything to learn from this disaster it is to watch that you never again watch anything these producers and directors make. Ever!
