Lost Phoenix (2023)
Decent indie action flick
This was a pretty good B-Movie action flick.. On the downside, story was a bit muddled and cliched. The caliber of the acting was also uneven, but not too bad.
On the positive side there is some decent humor in here. The cinematography is a cut above what you'd expect in a movie like this. Action choreography was also good, and the editing was also excellent keeping everything fast paced in the action sequences. A standout was the guy who plays the main villain. He had a bit of that James Bond-esque style of villainy, and he was also very good in the action scenes.
On the whole, although not winning any academy awards, this was an entertaining flick, and I enjoyed it.
The X Files: My Struggle IV (2018)
A show that should never have been revived ends with one of the worst episodes
I hate to say it, but The X-Files, once the greatest show on TV, should have remained in the past. I find it astonishing that the creators' of such intelligent and innovative stories actually thought any of the revival seasons shows were any good. Anything to do with the mythology is a jumble of bad dialogue and close, trusted characters speaking to each other I riddles. It's lazy drama, if you can even call it drama.
In this series finale, the hour is spent mostly of car rides and incoherent cell phone conversations repeated over and over again Almost nothing happens in the show!!
Just awful. What a tragic fall this show has taken. I hope there are no more revivals. I hope there are no reboots.
