Lucifer season 2

Season 1 was fun, it was a monster of the week show, without any monsters. The monster was the detective in Law & Order. It was not the serialized type we get these days, which was refreshing. I didn't expect there to be a season 2, alas there was and it was shuffled around, split up, and hell, there are still episodes on season 2, we will not see until season 3. The "winter finale" could have ended the season, and the finale they chose was perfect to end it. The show needs to embrace the sci fi/horror aspect more often, introduce hell on earth. Which judging by the final episode, we may be getting more fantasy next year, i hope we do! This is a fun show, with fun characters, and witty dialogue.

Dirty Dancing

Well this remake was awful, awkward silences, zero chemistry, dull montages, off putting musical numbers, and the wrap around was stupid. Shortest review, but too the point.

The Simpsons

Well a lot still assume the Simpsons is crap, but in recent years it became great again. This past season was a mixed bag, very hit & miss, but i will say this, the shows use to sight gags & puns is as strong as ever. The season finale was one of the best episodes in years, it was pretty much a classic, vintage episode of the Simpsons, use of the townsfolk, a nearly a Treehouse of Horrors esque episode, Marge shockingly kicking Millhouse's Dog When He Didn't Pee the Bed.

Song to Song

Here is a film with a great cast & plot, set in a gorgeous city, helmed by a auteur, however said auteur is Terrence Malick, and Malick is a pretentious bore of a director, his films can be good, but none do i love. This is possibly his best since Badlands, but holy fuck, is it a task to get through. The cast could be fantastic, yet in classic Malick style, they get buried under the tedious pressures of trying to make art, art that is white and on a wall, yes, Malick is like watching paint dry. I would love to see this cast, and their plot about Indie music & love, but with Richard Linklater, ugh, if only!

Chips

I watched the series Chips, growing up, on TV Land, it was fun, i enjoy the 70s series, sure todays batch is better but back in the day, they were not pretentious. This film is definitely not pretentious, it isn't bad either. It is fine, one time viewing type fair. It is slightly above the Dukes of Hazards, but below Starsky & Hutch, none of which touch 21 Jump Street, nor will it touch Baywatch(i predict) but give it a watch, it can be a good laugh, and also make you roll your eyes. It helps that the cast is charming, they just needed a better project.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2

Holy shit balls, this was a fucking blast! I was smiling most of the film, the opening credits are fantastic, it sets the mood perfectly, it combines colorful visuals, the soundtrack, action, sci fi & humor. The plot is the best Marvel has had since the first Guardians, this is the best looking Marvel film since the first one, the funniest one since the first, has the best action since the first, this film is almost perfect! Star Lord's story is touching, and it is quite the coming of age tale. Gamora's mainly involves Peter, but it too carries heart. Drax gets the funniest moments by far, Batista is amazing in comedic performances, and is indeed a badass! Groot is adorable as fuck in this! Rocket, along with Yondu, have their own coming of age story, accepting being assholes with hearts, they also happen to have some solid bad ass moments! Yondu even goes all comic book in it! Kraglin gets more screen time, which is great for those of us that are fans of the Brothers Gunn! Nebula, well, she yet again, is a character with a coming of age story, she is full on tweener for the most part. New characters in the film such as Mantis & Ego get time to shine, Mantis is great, Ego is the best Marvel villain since Loki, by far, god damn Kurt Russel is great in this! This is how a comic book film should be! This is how it should look, it looks like a comic, it is fun, it is fast paced, it is not pretentious, the humor is genuine, the action is great, the characters are lovable! The more i think about this, the more i loved it! The stingers are cool, one is hilarious, one sets up a spin off, one sets up Guardians 3, one is an evolution of a character, the other, is just a cameo! As excited as i am to see the Guardians interact with the Avengers, i almost wish it stayed its own beast, as while watching this, it felt fresh, i wasn't thinking, oh how will this affect Tony Stark, no i was thinking, this is a blast to watch! God damn this was great!
