The Gorge. Pretty good sci-fi/horror flick. A little predictable and a little long though. 2 hours. A couple of interesting twists and turns though. You'll recognize Miles Teller from 'Whiplash' and Anna Taylor-Joy from the last Mad Max flick


Good popcorn flick

5 mins into the new Captain America, I knew I was Marveled out. They are pretty much all the same now. Nothing new. Don't bother

A few that I've enjoyed recently:

The Recruit
Silo
Severence
Paradise

The Recruit is fun, but what you expect it to be. Well done, but simple. The others? Some of the best shows on TV in a while, in my opinion. All of them make you think and all leave you wanting more, knowing not all is what it seams to be.
Silo is fun. Gonna be interesting to see the progress from S2 into S3
Warrior is fun. Based on Bruce Lee's script. Well worth watching.
I pretty much love the Asian martial arts stuff. Will take a looksee
You will absolutely love Warrior if you like martial arts and westerns.
Just looked it up. It came out about 6 years ago. Watched it religiously, I was really loving it, then they canceled it. Great snippets of SF history, not sure how much was accurate, but there was probably quite a bit of that hanky panky going on. Ran for three seasons


I am a sucker for a good martial arts show. From Enter the Dragon to Cobra Kai. Don't matter to me.

"Bad Genius" on Hulu. Brainy Chinese gal figures out how to cheat and make money in some really interesting ways to help pay for her schooling. Cool twist at the end

The new season (S3) of 'Reacher' is out. Looks like more fun with the big guy. Introduces a guy that makes Reacher look small!

"A Thousand Blows". Two Jamaican immigrants arrive in Victorian England. One turns out to be a great boxer. Lots of gang influence and so forth. S1 came out in full today on HULU so I binged... not bad for a binge day

A little older British cop series. "Luther" with a favorite actor, Idris Elba (Mandella in Long Walk to Freedom, Heimdall in the Marvel Thor series, the guy that kept the rainbow bridge open)

Cool but short series from 2010. 6, 4, 4, 2, 4 episodes per season, 5 seasons. Last season was 2019.

He's a short tempered detective who gets himself into all sorts of troubles

Reacher is always a fun ride. The fella playing him is both massive and a good actor.

Liked Reacher more than Night Agent or Zero Day

I was really disappointed in Zero Day. I am surprised a limited series with that good of a cast turned out to be so bad.

If edited down to say four episodes I think it could be good with a better pace. Even a two hour movie. Six was too long, but I guess they wanted the inventory.

"Dexter: Original Sin" - if you like the original Dexter series, you will most likely love this rendition. This young actor playing Dexter does a dang good job of playing the same one that Micheal C Hall made into one heck of a character. S1 just wrapped

"House of David" on Prime.

Seems to be a pretty well done series so far. About halfway through S1, 1.

The fella playing Goliath is a 6'8 body builder. Huge dude, and they amped him up on screen

Andor S2 is finally coming out March 22nd. Last show was in 2022, then the writers strike happened. While Season 1 took place entirely in 5 BBY, Season 2 will take place over four years, separated into four three-episode blocks, each showing a few days of a year, with the final block leading into the opening scene of the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Saw Mickey 17 today. Mickey 7 was a good book. Unfortunately, the movie is only barely based on the book. If you like violence as comedy, you might like it. In truth, I only heard a couple of chuckles through most of the show.

Trailer says April 22. Ready for this! Andor is the best show they've made and Rogue One was a top 5 Star Wars movie, probably higher.

This will be the only season for it as it segways into Rouge One.

Saw Black Bag last night. Good, old fashioned spy flick. More analysis and talk than action. Great characters. It is a show that doesn't really need the big screenother than for the immersive experience. Watch it sometime though.

The new Wheels of Time is out on Prime. Not very good so far. I killed some time and watched some of the first three episodes.

Netflix spent $320 million bucks on "Electric State".

It has it moments but a ton of CGI stuff in it. Its not gonna be a classic but it's kinda fun. Bobby Millie Brown from Stranger Things, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci and more.

Just saw it. Too much politicizing in it. "White" this and "church" that.

BTW - Mark Ruffalo is nearly exactly like that in person. What a horse's arse.

There is currently no confirmed release date for Reacher season 4. However, Jack Reacher author Lee Child did reveal to TechRadar that season 4 is "written and ready to go" and will "start shooting in the summer."

Went and saw the new Jason Statham flicks. Working Man. Loads of fun. Typical 'Beekeeper' type flick.

Snuck into see just how bad 'Snow White' was. It's bad, really bad. That massive theater was deserted too.
