Lucifer (2016)
Amazingly entertaining
There are not many TV shows that I truly find amazing. Whilst I might watch something like "The flash" for instance, I would not rate it as something not to be missed. In fact very few shows rate that highly. the Black List, is one of those shows I would say - totally rocks it. And then came Lucifer.
Normally the sexy guy and girl are a prequel to a disaster of a script and less to be desired acting. However Fox has shown us that their TV show 'Lucifer' breaks this preconception.
Tom Ellis AKA Lucifer Morningstar, is not only an attractive and charming man, he has a unique witty, and sometimes terrifying demeanor. He would make Sean Connery fans look up. From his accent, his expressions, his fantastic acting ability with the extremely well written script make him one of a few people I have noticed in recent years.
As the story goes, Lucifer or Satan, took a vacation and is not quite the bad guy we all imagine. In fact, he is discovering he has a penchant for humanity inspired by his co host Lauren German. However he did not leave HELL alone, he also brought Lesley-Ann Brandt aka Mazikeen with him who is both disappointed to the state of disgust by Lucifer's "new look" and is constantly reminding him of his previous role. She is not someone you want to meet in a dark alley.
The other actors whilst all reasonably good are in a 'no contest' with the main characters so there are no distractions from the main characters development. Even if you are not a science fiction fantasy sort of person, trust me - you will like this. As I referenced above, the depth of character reminds me of the Blacklist, and even Charters like Patrick Jane from CBS's now discontinued series, The Mentalist or even the Walter White character from Breaking Bad.
the show has brought in several well known celebrities perhaps to give the show some legitimacy but they are not necessary. Fox have found a winner and if you are not already watching this show, Start with the season one episode one Pilot - I promise you it's well worth it.

Wow
As far as Jackie Chan movies go this is not a comedy in any stretch of the word. We see his trade mark fighting style only in the combat scenes that star himself. The entire cast was magnificent and the chemistry between all was perfect. It seemed there were thousands of warriors in battle and I must imagine this is down to special effects but the movie did not have any hint of special effects it was that well done. No magical abilities like other Chinese movies.
John Cusack performed magnificently along side Jacky Chan delivering one of his best performances as well. in fact every actor delivered a magnificent performance down to the extras and I imagine this was due to the great directing skill of Daniel Lee who was able to convert his written masterpiece into a superb movie.
the mood of the movie had me in tears with joy, sadness and so much more. Not since "The Notebook" has a movie had me so emotional so many times.
At over two hours in length I felt a sense of exhaustion when it finally came to an epic and emotional end.
This movie has earned a spot with the classics.
NASA's Unexplained Files (2012)
Another Project Bluebook.
First in the 2015 series: Tungusta Russia - Ice meteor exploding over ground. Plausible. Monolith on one of Mars moon... Just a bolder standing on end. Plausible. Crashed UFO in the US.. part of a soviet Satellite doing a re-entry. Documents went missing. Eye witnesses stated it was a controlled entry and the object made a fish hook fly over which clearly demonstrates it was under control. Anything not would enter in a straight line. Black ops military took over site. Took large object away. Space Shuttle challenger: Picture of lightening strike at time it started to break apart: In picture you see a solid line from the challenger going past. Then you see another intersecting line with a starting point above. Their excuse.. Camera moved from delayed shutter. Problem with this excuse: Millions of people use the same technique to take pictures of stars etc. No shutter movement. and Secondly, if there was shutter movement, why are there two lines not just one. The main line showing the shuttle should also have taken a wobble. It is not scientifically possible to have two lines unless it was a double exposure which also cant happen unless the challenger went past twice...
This series is worse than Project Blue Book. The entire premise of the show is to make you think that we have the answers for everything and nothing strange is going on beyond what the show suggests. Anyone with common sense can see this show is a dud !
