Unsane
Steven Soderbergh is a true experimental film maker, he can do big budget fair like Oceans 11, low budget pictures like The Girlfriend Experience, slap stick hilarity in Logan Lucky, and now here with a cheap 1 million dollar experiment in Unsane. A secret project shot on an I Phone, something i have been against however after seeing this brilliant horror gem, i am sold. It is is funny, i just bought a VHS Camera earlier today to shoot a slasher film, and i have been saying anyone with a phone can make a film these days and that they over saturate festivals but upon seeing the magic Soderbergh has unleashed i am not okay with the future. If the future gives us creepy, well acted and tense films like Unsane, then the future is bright!

Pacific Rim Uprising
In 2013 Guillermo Del Toro unleashed his love of kaijus in the form of Pacific Rim, after that everyone seemed to know kaijus. Growing up i loved those type of flicks, but to me, PR, seemed more like a Transformers flick, and that is exactly what the sequel is too. I didn't love either, but both were fun & enjoyable. The plot is sort of contrived, the Jagers/military subplot sort of defeats the purpose of why everyone tries to make custom versions out of scraps or while kaiju skeletons are still in the streets. I suppose it goes to show the government is always working on shit, but still, i'll let is slide. The CHarlie Day turn was seen a mile away but felt like Jim Carrey as the Riddler. The leads are all good, and have great chemistry, their fun gives us fun, all you can really ask for it, still way better than any Transformers flick.
X Files
This was a mess of a season. It started off in such a cluster fuck of a way. It got good in the middle with the Twilight Zone episode, and even had a great episode with the cult killing, but almost everything else felt random, thrown together or pissed all over previous seasons. The finale, hopefully is the finale. Many refused to watch as they didn't want to tarnish the legacy, for them the show ended years ago. To them, i salute you, cause this season truly left a terrible taste in my mouth. I want to cut out shows anyhow, looks like this is one of them.

Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider was a game i loved as a kid, i haven't really played any of the games much the last decade or so but i always had fond memories. None of my friends really bought the newer games, but new friends tell me they are great. Around the time i myself quit playing the games by myself was when the first Tomb Raider film came out, it was one of the worst films i have ever seen. I never saw the sequel.I tried rewatching the first flick prior to this one, i could not do it, i had to turn it off. This one looked terrible, yet i had a fun time with it. Is it too long? Yes. Do some scenes go on for too long? Yes. The acting is your basic blockbuster fare but everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Is it Indiana Jones? Fuck no? Is it better than the Angelina Jolie joint? Fuck yes! I didn't love it, i wouldn't buy it, but i will gladly see a sequel.

Love the Final Season
This show did it right. No season was over 12 episodes, each episode was no more than 40 minutes, hell most were under 30, and they knew it would end at season 3. This is the most brutally honest show about relationships, family, friends, dating, sex, drugs, booze, you name it, it calls it out and shines a mirror. We are all fuck up. The cast is amazing, i love Gillian Jacobs, but man can she play a bitch. Co creator Paul Rust can so such an annoying cringe worthy little twerp, yet you love these characters. There are so many cringe worthy moments yet so many heartfelt ones too, this is a great series, i'm glad it is over but i am sad to see it end.

Wrinkle In Time
This was a mess of a film. It begins in a hokey manner, it evolves to dated bullies, and then introduces us to some of the worst characters ever put on film. Oprah, Mindy & Reese are terrible in this, but no one is as bad as the child in this flick, i wanted to see him get slapped, like a legit slap that the DP filmed and the editor snuck in. They waste Michael Pena, the effects are tired, the script is not dull just very bland and it lacks imagination. This film seems like with the right screenplay & the right director this could have been an amazing tale, sadly we got a mess, not only a mess but a terrible film.
Veronica
Hey guys, did you hear about that new movie that hit Netflix? That one that is supposed to be the scariest film in decades? The one a friend posted a Buzzfeed esque video of on Facebook? The one that brings in Millennials and the masses to make them seem hip by saying they've seen the scary Spanish horror film? Did you watch it? Perhaps. Did they? Nope. Guess what? It sucks! Films like this are why i don't like FB. People buy into anything, click bait articles, this is their film!
