    Weapons (2025)

    I liked Longlegs, but Weapons was superior. I like how it told the story from various perspectives advancing it bit by bit, filling in gaps, etc. It was very engaging. It is also likely more accessible to the general public. I liked Longlegs, but it went too weird. Outside of ~5 - 10...

    Alien: Earth

    Could be strange, but the 'guy in a suit' movement made me like this more. Reminded me of Doug Jones (Hellboy Abe, Pan's Labyrinth Faun / Pale Man, etc.) at some level. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427964/

    The Naked Gun (2025)

    We saw this today, it was fine. I'll give it a solid B. Not great, but they really did try to honor the original. Some was a bit much (infrared scene), some was more traditional (crane), some more lonely Island (black eyed peas), and the rest somewhere in between it all. Not a bad theater...

    28 Years Later

    Not just dicks, but distractingly large / floppy when it comes to the alphas. Definitely showers.

    Dexter: Resurrection

    Channeling some Paul Smecker for sure.

    Dexter: Resurrection

    Better than the last season for sure, more classic Dexter vibes. Intriguing, good cameos, will be continuing the watch.

    28 Years Later

    Wife and I caught this today. She felt bad I always see things like the Barbie Movie / Wicked and so we checked this out. I am a big fan of zombie movies in general, always have been. 28 Days Later was top tier for me and my youth. I liked 28 Years Later as well, but it wasn't quite as...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Late to the party on this one but finally made it through. This one was really a slog and that is coming from someone who didn't mind Rhythm of War. Initial thoughts after finishing last night...

    Death of a Unicorn

    Yeah, that was a fun conversation. Wife doesn't do horror much, thought this was going to be more comedy. Wife: Do you think it will be bloody? Me: Nah, I think this will be fine. Wife: ...

    Ash

    I have not been able to get through this. I have tried 3 times to continue the watch but it just isn't pulling me in. I end up drifting off and not paying attention. Maybe a better for a flight or something where I can't leave.

    The Last of Us

    Coming from someone who has not played the games, I just do understand how they went through with this in the second episode. Joel was 'the guy', Ellie is insufferable and unlikable. They could have at least worked in a few episodes that, perhaps they deviate from the game, build in some...

    Black Mirror

    We are just about caught up on this season, just have Callister left to go. Overall, I'm a big fan. To echo everyone else, Common People is the flagship of what I expect from Black Mirror. The rest are good / fun. The weakest for me have been Reverie / Playthings but that is just due to how...

    Sinners (2025)

    Super, I was hoping to see reviews start for this. I very much want to see this from trailers but was reserving until more reviews came in. May get me out to a theater yet.

    The Pitt

    Finished this up tonight and I definitely enjoyed the show overall. I liked Noah Wyle in Falling Skies but never watched ER. Interesting overall storyline, liked the characters in general but the personalities were a bit strong or a charictature of normal folks. That didn't distract much...
