Lucifer (2016–2021)

Tom Ellis is great

[8/10 · 26 August 2020]

I think the show got better once it was picked up by Netflix after being cancelled I just wish he used his abilities more and was more comic book related instead of following the romantic side it kinda gets old but I still watch Tom Ellis is by far the reason for staying tuned

The Banker (2020)

Great story

[9/10 · 21 March 2020]

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie I assumed it would be good with the actors that are in the movie but this story was really interesting and had me wanting to know what happened in the end and sadly not real well for the two black men which I'm glad we don't live in a world like that anymore I can't imagine how hard life was and still is in some places but I'm truly impressed that even then two men made something of themselves during those times and how they stood up for themselves by telling the truth and did their time in prison and still kept the American dream alive by making something of themselves even when all odds were against them I guess it proves the color of your skin doesn't mean that your smarter than another person I think we need more stories like this to be brought up to the youths of the nation so we don't ever repeat anything like that ever again

Den of Thieves (2018)

This should have gotten more publicity

[9/10 · 7 March 2020]

This movie came across as a predictable cops and robbers movie for the most part at least that's what I thought until the very end with a little twist. That wasn't super shocking to me but gave the movie a depth of actually having a good plot. All in all it was a good movie the acting was great especially ice cube's son steeling the show. I always think highly of Gerard Butler one of my favorite actors of my generation. The only thing that didn't make any sense to me was the fact that the robbers were at a shooting range in one scene where Gerard Butler's character follows the robbers there where a ex con is shooting at the range this isn't legal no felon can own a firearm and if they did they sure as hell wouldn't go to the range to shoot it because it's illegal and they could have been taken in on that alone. So I didn't see why they even did that scene it didn't make a difference in the story except that the main bad guy could empty a few clips really quickly. Wow big deal. No ex-con would ever take a chance on getting a gun charge by shooting at a range and any range that would let an ex-con shoot illegally would get in trouble as well. Maybe that's not a big deal to some people but I'm pretty sure in the USA felons aren't allowed to have a firearm. If he just had a misdemeanor then he could have a firearm but it showed him in a maximum security prison earlier in the film. Besides that the movie was good and I think worth watching if you like Gerard Butler and if you like Ice Cube's son since he starred in straight outta Compton when he played his dad then you'll like this one too

Legion (2017–2019)

Decent

[7/10 · 29 February 2020]

I just wish he did more with his abilities like we know he's capable of legion is one of the most powerful mutants in the marvel comic world and he does do something's but not like you would if you actually had reality warping abilities especially if you were mental as well what would really happen they couldn't show on national television if this was on hbo or starz their would have been a lot more gruesome and mindless fun to be had. All in all this is a good show just sometimes I wanted more power less mental health problems

Ready Player One (2018)

MUST SEE

[10/10 · 29 February 2020]

This movie is absolutely my favorite movie of the year and top10 movies of all time the plot is good the acting is sub-par but the cgi is awesome and what I think technology is aspiring to be like with vr in video games right now just imagine what it'll be like in 10 years from now this isn't to far off but in the end reality is always better and I think that's the message they were trying to get across so much fiction but any good fiction novel has a shred of truth and I think this story doesn't get the praise it should had me hooked beginning to end with a somewhat predictable ending to Charlie and the chocolate factory type ending with it all given away to the best of the best of those who deserved it

Eddie Murphy: Delirious (1983 TV Special)

That's dat S*+!

[9/10 · 29 February 2020]

This is a must watch if you are any kind of fan of Eddie Murphy and or a stand-up fan. Because I think this is my favorite stand up it's between this and raw both Eddie Murphy shows. This is still funny to watch now even after 36 years and it still holds up. I hope he makes a comeback like George Carlin did or Robin Williams or Adam Sandler and many others have come back around just to see if they still got it and I bet Eddie's still got it

The Call of the Wild (2020)

The call

[7/10 · 22 February 2020]

I thought it was a decent movie of a book I read in elementary school but the cgi wasn't great but I understand why they did it that way and I was able to overlook the cgi because of the meaning of the story is really good I'd definitely take the kids to see this one unless you don't want to have to buy a dog after seeing it I don't know if it was just me but after watching this movie I wanna get a dog they truly make great companions saying that I don't believe this is realistic but all in all decent flick

Tell Me a Story (2018–2020)

A little Hoaky

[8/10 · 22 February 2020]

I enjoyed the plot it's pretty good has a what's gonna happen next feel to it. The acting is decent with some of the cast but some of the characters aren't good or bad but a little bit of both but I can relate to the revengeful aspect of it if I was in that situation what I would do so the fairytale stories don't really line up with the characters portray of them all in all it's a decent show but I don't want to get to attached watching this because it'll probably get canceled as soon as I get pulled into this show

NOS4A2 (2019–2020)

Creepy and twisted

[10/10 · 8 February 2020]

Creepy show and with Zachery Quinto is excellent acting at playing an old man and back to young man but with perfection I mean his voice when he's old sounds so real and how he uses the fantasy of Christmas for children when all you think about is presents and sweet treats so he brainwashes them and steals their youth so that he can live this is what I assume of course they never actually explain exactly how he does it or how he discovered how to do so. Then the main protagonist Vic McQueen she's a Pandora's box of power and Charlie Manxx knows it and wants her for himself but I don't think he knows who he's Dealing with. She is very stubborn but doesn't give up when she knows she has the ability to do something about it. And lastly Bing Partridge the Headcase this one is super dangerous because he seems so weak or slow and he kinda is you feel for him at first until you learn the whole story and it a demented one at that I mean killing your own father for verbally abusing you is one thing but afterwards you're mom walks in on it and you her because she's the only one that ever loved you and once your done you kill her as well damn that's f'ed up man for real anyways I kept watching so I'll try to stay watching as long as it doesn't get canceled like every other good show I get brought into and boom over hopefully not this one.

Come to Daddy (2019)

Twister

[7/10 · 8 February 2020]

This movie is a twisted tale of a alcoholic from recovery to murderer all in an hour and half. Elijah Wood with another exceptional performance almost everything he does he really becomes some weirdo (Wilfred) for instance with many other roles but this movie will keep you interested in what may happen next. Will this timid weak minded alcoholic with daddy issues will have enough balls to make it through the night of his life after watching his supposed daddy try to stab him and die in which to only find out that wasn't daddy after all and daddy is alive in the basement and he's not such a good guy either what will happen next it's a twister

Back to the Future Part III (1990)

Good not Great

[9/10 · 8 February 2020]

I kinda hated the way this franchise ended because I do love westerns and this is not like any good western that I've seen what i mean it's comical but the outfit he wears because that's all he had to choose from it was funny and all just not cool for the main protagonists all I wanted to see was Marty sticking to another Biff Tannen relative which is so damn ironic how his family somehow always ends up messing with Marty no matter what time period he travels to but in this one I think Doc Brown steals the show this one I was glad to see him settle down with Clara Clayton and start a family. I always wished they would have made a spin off about him and his family he started and what kinda adventures they got into traveling through time. But this is good just not great like the first and awesome like the second imo

Back to the Future (1985)

This is the beginning of a great franchise

[10/10 · 8 February 2020]

I love this movie everything about it is great I mean except the almost incest with Marty and his mom which I always wondered in the present wouldn't the mom wonder why her son looked so much like the boy she almost hooked up with instead of George Mcfly wouldn't you be somewhat suspicious that your child looked identical to a high school crush I know if I was George I'd be questioning if my wife was unfaithful or not because he looks a lot like that kid that play electric guitar at prom and not like me anyways it was the 80's. None of this changes the way I feel about these movies if you haven't watched them you should if you haven't showed them to your kids you should once their old enough hopefully they won't understand the whole incest part of it I know it's not reallly incest because they didn't do anything but they thought it at least Lorraine did even if Marty didn't because he knew but it all is weird

Back to the Future Part II (1989)

Classic

[10/10 · 8 February 2020]

This is my favorite of the back to the future movies because they go to the future in which I've actually lived till and I always thought it was funny how they thought we'd have flying cars and tiny pizza's we turn into full large pizza's and also had self lacing shoes (which Nike actually created) that are real and cost thousands of dollars. The trilogy of movies are all great just like Star Wars and Indiana Jones all from the great George Lucas but the first is usually always the best of the three and I believe most would say that with bttf as well but when I saw that Delorean flying it was so awesome and now is nostalgic for me as I rewatch these movies on occasion what a great franchise

Swamp Thing (2019)

Why did they cancel it

[9/10 · 8 February 2020]

I really dug this show it's a shame that it was cancelled I hoped enough people petitioned to have it picked up by Netflix or something like that any streaming service I'd subscribe or find a way to watch because swamp thing is one of the most powerful characters in dc comics he basically immortal. It's always cool to see a badass like swamp thing come to a fight because he rarely looses well he doesn't die at least so you just can't stop him and he's always portrayed as a good guy almost to good usually kinda like Superman is that way which no one would before like that if they had all that power for real no matter how much of a good person they were to put it simply some people deserve to die and if I could control all plant life and as long as I was around plant life I could regenerate like swamp thing I'd take down all the worst people in the world I could only problem is if someone like that existed the government would hold them hostage under a microscope to study how they work instead of sending them after people like Osama Bin Laden no of this has anything to do with the show but it was good enough to come back for a second season I believe the cgi and special effects weren't the best but I'm not sure what kinda budget they had. I didn't recognize any of the actors or actresses Except Kevin Durand which is one of my favorite actors because all his roles are in movie genre's that I enjoy like Legion,Robin Hood,Smokin Aces,X-men origins Wolverine and Lost. So all the pieces were there and the plot was decent and it followed the comic book character similarly enough to be enjoyable imo

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

I Love A True Story

[9/10 · 8 February 2020]

This movie is great the actors are some of the best in the business imo and they have great chemistry together on screen. I don't know how much of this movie is really true as far as the banter between Henry Ford jr and Carol Shelby but I know the achievements are all true which are great for American history. It couldn't have been any other driver other than Ken Miles, and Christian Bale did a great job of playing the part it was so sad how he passed because of what he accomplished he will live forever proving that Americans can make a super car aka (race car) just as good as the rest of them

John Henry (2020)

Very spaghetti western

[7/10 · 8 February 2020]

It had some funny scenes in the movie especially with the two lookouts at the end when John walks up on them their conversation before was good and all the action sequences looked like an old spaghetti western especially the final showdown between John and hell (Luda) the ending kinda left a little too be desired. I wanted to know what happened to Berta and Oscar because I don't believe their will be a sequel unfortunately because I would watch it too but that being said I wouldn't have paid to see this in the theater's but it's worthy of a rental. All in all it a pretty good flick imo and if your a fan or Terry Crew's or Ludacris more so Terry Crews you'll enjoy this one too
