Happy Alien Day, one and all, from us to you. If you followed us at all, you’ll know I’m a humongous Alien fan. I ran over 2 miles to see Prometheus opening day and I even went to Romulus for the midnight show, not to mention owning multiple copies of each movie.
Our latest installment in the saga is Alien: Earth coming to Hulu this summer. Am I nervous it’s going to be a TV series? Oh hell yeah! But there is some great talent behind the lens, and so far they the setting and creature designs are spot on. To end off this post I’ll leave you with some recent tastes we got of it and I wish everyone a safe Alien day, show some love to Ripley, David, Rain and Andy and stay the hell away from large leathery
A Simple Favor starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively is a dark comedy that struggles to let you in on the joke. Don’t let this lead you to believe it is a bad movie, because it is an amazing movie. Anna Kendrick is phenomenal as the Vlogger mom that is just too perfect for her own good.
On the flip side,we have Blake Lively, the bitchy never apologize fuck whoever I want type. She is a pretty horrible mom despite the fact she is doing her best but she is always busy at work, tho she does like to drink a bit too much.
The pair strikes up an unlikely friendship because of their kids being friends at school. This results in an awkward playdate, some nights of drinking and then a death.
When Emily (Blake) once again asks Stephanie (Anna) to pick the kid up from school Emily disappears for days only to be found dead in a lake. This will then lead to an entire quest for Anna to discover the truth behind Emily and her entire life. I won’t spoil it,but it absolutely worth watching. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Carry On is a 2024 movie starring some guy I couldn’t care less to look up to be honest. (Taron Egerton) And another guy I think may have been important in the 80’s. (Jason Bateman) my friend told me to check it out and pitched it to me as “this generation’s Die Hard” which I thought was a bold claim to make. But was he right?
First off let’s get this out of the way,Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Carry On,just seems to take place on Christmas Eve. I am happy to listen to rebuttals however.
That part out of the way, the movie is absolutely fantastic. It is a game of cat and mouse between a man just trying to do his job,and a TSA worker trying to get a promotion. All the man wants to do is get a package onto an air plane and the TSA agent in question simply won’t let him do it.
The movie is full of action, plot twist and the occasional comedic moment. It has honestly been years since I’ve had this much fun with a movie. Is it the equivalent to Die Hard for this generation? No I don’t think so. There won’t be a debate about it being a Christmas movie for example. There is no way this movie has the cultural impact as Die Hard for example. But it is absolutely just as good of a movie. That is honestly good enough for me,best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Disquiet is an odd horror movie about a man surviving a car accident only to be trapped in an abandoned hospital struggling to get out hunted by strange creatures. Check out the trailer below. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Starting the year off badly, Jeremy Renner. According to his spokesperson and local papers Mr. Renner has a home near Mount Rose that was recently hit with a winter storm that left thousands without power. The accident involved a weather related accident while plowing snow. Not much is being released beyond he is with family and receiving excellent care. Best wishes to him and his family,and may the gaming gods bring him glory
So Thor, the loveable God of Thunder, has been through so much over his MCU journey and is now trying to find himself again. He thought hanging out with the Guardians of the Galaxy and losing all the weight would help but he finds himself in a rut until he learns of a new foe on the horizon out to slay every god. Along with Korg and Valkyrie, he finds himself joined by two old friends he never expected to see again, his ex girlfriend Jane Foster wielding a recontructed Mjolnir….
So remember how Thor: Ragnarok was a perfect mix of feels, laughs, and action? You ever wondered what that mix would look like gone horribly wrong? I present you: Love and Thunder. This movie is painfully unfunny. It tries shoving cringy jokes down your throat at breakneck speeds, 9/10 not landing, while also trying to be really dark and serious when it comes to Jane’s terminal cancer and Gorr’s rage. Christian Bale tried his ass off nd honestly, he was my favorite part of the movie although they really bitched Gorr down; I spent a lot of this movie wanting to hug Bale for giving it his all and going down with this dumpster fire. Everyone else is alright except Russel Crowe as Zeus, who was really miscast. The CGI is just ugly and the soundtrack becomes annoying really quick. Speaking of annoying, FUCK those god-forsaken goats. The fights are meh and the ending is just- sure, sure movie. This may be one of the shortest MCU flicks but holy crap it dragged. I tie Thor 4 with Black Widow as worst MCU film so far; those that complained about Thor: The Dark World , well, it just got a thousand times better. Taika Waitti is a talented director; I’m still in love with JoJo Rabbit and Ragnarok was really awesome so I’m hoping this was just a really bad fluke. Regardless, just skip this disaster. May the gaming gods bring you glory, or at the very least kill those annoying ass goats.
So where does the God of Mischief go with one of the most powerful artifacts in the known universe? Well, not very far because shortly after the events of Avengers: Endgame, he’s easily captured by the TVA, an organization designed to keep the flow of time and events on track in every timeline. Moebius, the agent in charge of Loki’s case, presents him a deal- help the TVA track down a dangerous variant running amok through the multiverse and maybe not go extinct. Things may not be all that they seem as Loki comes face to face with Sylvie, his female counterpart with a bloodlust for the TVA that could bring darkness across time and reality…
Ok, first things first, I love Hiddleston as Loki. I always have and always will. But I seriously think this six-episode series could have been condensed better into a two-hour movie. I fell asleep twice during my run of the show. It does pick up in the last couple of episodes, especially the finale, but holy shit to get there is an utter slog. I will say I loved Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains and I’m now excited for Kang the Conquer’s debut after the end. The acting is solid, the score is good with good effects but the pacing murders all of the good. In the end, you could honestly find the best part of this series on Youtube and I don’t think you’d be missing much. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
So here we have a pretty damn good look at Thor 4 and honestly, for me, I’m liking Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher as my favorite part. I forgot how intense he could be and I like how eerie he comes off. Besides him, I can’t help feeling like I’m watching the trailer for yet another MCU movie. Either way, I’m sure it’ll be a decent movie. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
“Are you happy, Stephen?” is the question haunting the master of the mystic arts after the Snap. People have died because of his actions in allowing Thanos to succeed for the greater good, and lives are in disarray. Christine has moved on, Wong is the new Sorcerer Supreme and he can’t help but feel the guilt leading to Thanos’s defeat. During Christine’s wedding, Strange and Wong rush to face to face a demonic entity chasing after a teenage girl, America Chavez. America, born with an alarming gift allowing her to openly travel between the Multiverse is on the run from a demonic force wanting her powers. Strange turns to the most powerful magic user on the planet for aid, an Avenger, only to find himself face to face against the broken, vengeful Scarlet Witch that will do anything to get her children back, even if that means destroying the Multiverse to do so. Can the former Sorcerer Supreme stop the fallen Avenger?
Holy Crap, this movie is a trip. I loved it but I also love Dr. Strange and Scarlet Witch; this is totally a Marvel nerd movie. There’s a lot going on but I never found it hard to follow. There is a lot of ambiguity and plenty of room to speculate which I appreciated. The movie has a shit ton of disturbing, frightening scenes and a hell of a lot of fan service for fans of Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn without skipping on being a badass superhero flick. Elizabeth Olsen absolutely steals the show as Scarlet Witch, becoming a tragic villain after the fallout from Wandavision . Honestly, the whole cast was damn good and a lot of the cameos, 2 of which I got giddy for, I hope make a return in the MCU. The visuals were insanely epic and beautiful and frightening. With all the good, I am going to say again, that this movie is going to be a cluster if you aren’t up to date on the MCU or have a foreknowledge of the comics; this is NOT a movie to shut your brain off to. In the end, Dr. Strange 2 was a damn good time and a superior sequel I recommend checking out. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Oh dear…besides Ms. Marvel, I’d heard nightmare stories on the development here. I think comic She-Hulk kicks ass; this iteration made me cringe. She-Hulk herself looks really off and the CGI isn’t really convincing. I’m glad to see Tim Roth back as Abomination but that’s kind of the best I got here. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
