Fast X

Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and Reacher (Alan Ritchson) join the cast in the same nonsense. You know what you'll get with these films, but this is even more ridiculous than most entries. The fact they've made 10 of these is a reflection of just how lowbrow Americans have become. All Eye Candy, 0 substance, brain not required, no wonder Trump's going to be reelected

Society of Snow

 

This is the same Material that was covered in Alive back in the 90's so nothing new, but it is well directed and worth the time, especially if you've no knowledge of this story. There isn't enough of a difference from the original picture to garner any Oscars IMO

 Queenpins

I really enjoyed this one. Based on a true story about a coupon scan. A great cast brings this home. It's not groundbreaking, but it's funny and Interesting and in a sea of possibilities that is comedy that's enough to give this one a try. The stakeout scene in the car was absolutely hilarious.

 The Brothers Son

This is fantastic. It's not perfect, but it's close enough to not complain about much. Michelle Yeoh gives this instant credibility. It's extremely Stylish and great fun from start to finish, filled with action comedy and heart, a rare combination. A great closing sequence featuring Zeppelin's "Your Time is Going Come" puts the cherry on top. I sure do hope we get another season of The Brothers Sun, although it ends in a good spot if there isn't. I for one would like to know how the rest of this story plays out. Highly Recommended

 Dumb Money

I really enjoyed this one. It's the Gamestop stock story. if you don't know the story, it's compelling and brought to life with an all-star cast. About the only thing bad about it is the terrible RAP soundtrack. Reminds me a bit of The Big Short because of the subject matter. 6.9 is a bit low for a film with this great of a cast and this good of a story. Recommended.

 Loudermilk

A little hit or miss at the start, but gets progressively better as the series gets closer to the end. Probably was cancelled a bit prematurely as it was just picking up steam. Some truly funny moments and some truly heartwarming moments await the patient. Very Good. This did have one of the funniest lines I've heard in a long time, during the scene with Ben and the Sex Doll, but I wont spoil it. Go for it

 The Marvels

Another highly disappointing entry into the MCU, this one with an even more ridiculous plot than usual. It's just more parallel/multiverse nonsense, which is why ECHO was so refreshing .Even Brie Larson can't save this garbage, Not even worth popping the corn. P.S. I don't think we will see another captain Marvel movie, Brie will do her cameo's, but both cracks at this comic have failed, this one miserably. Pass

 Astrid et Raphaelle

Here is a reason not to hate the French. A wonderful mystery show that features Astrid, a high functioning autistic with a photographic memory, and her partner Raphaelle, solving crimes that all have a touch of flair. The relationship between Astrid, Raphaelle and her peers unfolds slowly over the course of three seasons and gives this show more heart than most in this genre. This predates The Extraordinary Attorney Woo by 4 years, so I have to think that show was based on this. If you enjoyed TEAW, this is a no brainer. It's utterly fantastic and a must see if this genre is your thing. 95 stars.:)

Fool Me Once

The Brits know how to put together a mystery. This has a lot of moving parts and is extremely well written and acted. The lead actress, Michelle Keegan, is relatively unknown outside of the UK, but probably not for long. She is the most beautiful actress I've seen in a long time. She carries this and is all the better for it. This is worth it just to see her.

Echo

A wonderful entry into the MCU. This is Super Hero Lite and focuses more on spirituality in the Native American culture and is all the better for it. The Super Hero entries are getting a bit tired of late and this is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is stagnating. Vincent D'Onofrio is always a treat as Kingpin. 6.9 IMDB rating is far too low a rating for a series with this much heart, but the lower than deserved rating doesn't surprise me given the state of America. A Must See.

 

True Detective

There are many contenders for the Crown, but HBO is still the king of original television giving us some of the best shows in history. Season 3 finished in anticipation of s4 next week. This show has a nearly perfect formula to run in perpetuity. One day in the distant future someone will be reviewing True Detective s20, that because It's an anthology that doesn't come out every year. Always with an A list star or two in the main role and a tightly woven script and it makes some highly compelling and entertaining television. s3 features Marshela Ali in 3 different timelines 1980, 1990 and present day following the case of two missing children and examining dementia. First Rate TV in every aspect of the word.
