Nothing much to see here. Quite low-budget and unremarkable (as expected).

I knew I had to give this a go on account of excellent actress Ruth Wilson, who was so memorable in “Luther” and other gems. She shines here as a very troubled shell of a woman, the victim and survivor of a horrible social atrocity (Magdelene Convents) committed against girls and women at the hands of (what else?) the Church. Wilson’s ‘Lorna Brady’ is barely hanging onto her sanity, and the viewer is never quite sure about what’s really up with her. But then, Lorna herself isn’t quite sure of things, either. Watch, and you’ll see what I mean. Her life is nightmarish, and you really feel for her plight and for the others who endured cruelty “for their sins.” Two eps. in, and I think I’ll stay for the ride.

Oh no they did NOT go there. I’m speechless—-and I absolutely refuse to spoil it for others!!!!!!😲 Must watch!!!

I was entertained; knew I would be. We’re given some characters to root for and laugh with. It’s a fun movie with some actors really hamming it up and enjoying themselves. Marvel is always a good bet. 😃

Leni Riefenstahl was the FOX NEWS of her day

Karl Urban? Yep, I will give this a chance on the strength of that:-)

I really like Latifah in this role. She sells it as the caring, concerned helper of the helpless, who brings her very special expertise to the streets to do good things. Her team is as skilled as she is, and their dialogue is well written and is fun to follow. Good show to look forward to each week.

Oooh a Scott Adkins movie! I am so in!!!

*Edit after viewing: Very entertaining! A simple cat ‘n mouse story and some fun along the way. Adkins worked well with Lundgren, and both delivered on the action.

A trend I have been enjoying (and am looking forward to in Expendables IV, among others) is how some of our much-loved action stars are comfortable with showing the very human changes that come with time, work, and age. No longer do they really have to pretend to be 29 years old ad infinitum. We love them because we love them and knew them “when”. I look forward to the day when more American actors/actresses can do this, in this genre of film as well as others.

Attention all Peaky Blinder fans, Cillian Murphy is in this movie from 2002! I’ll have to put this on my list to watch too.

It’s Marsali! Thanks for the red alert. I like these shows.

Yeah, I used to get real excited for the walking dead, then it started to kinda wane, and it just kinda petered out on me. Seems to me like the only one that I still find interesting now is Daryel (sp?).

That being said, ‘The Old Man’ was pretty good, first season, hoping they do a second one. I’ve been liking ‘For All Mankind’ as well, it’s an alternate reality kind of a show as to what would it have been like if things had have turned out differently back in the NASA days when we were going to the moon and such. All I’m going to give you, but it’s pretty good.

That being said, look up something called ‘Sherlock’. Only 4 seasons so far, and have been waiting for more, have not had the time (actually forgot to look, truth be told, got a lot on my plate at the moment, so the small stuff has gone right out the window at the moment), but about 3 long episodes to each season, and it has Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock, and Rupert Graves as a really cool Watson. A bit of a different take, but if you’re anything like me you will really like this.

I pretty much binged each season. Did the first one in one sitting, then knew what I was going to do with the others, so made sure I was going to have the time to do the same with the others when I got started, snacks ready, and chilled. Really good episodes, and lots of blindsides!

Though awkwardly structured with sudden flashbacks and scene jumps (deliberately so, I’m guessing, so we’ll experience seeing a tortured, confused mind at work) this is an interesting take on the ‘androids will surpass us if we’re not careful’ theory. Though set in the future, we’re shown this isn’t too far away, with many older buildings interspersed with ultra-modern ones; with vans and cars of today (and a lovely old Trans-Am which made me tear up a bit, missing my own!) riding down streets, while holograms and company drones fill the skies. Kind of a fun ride, with a few slight nods to Blade Runner, Almost Human, Stepford Wives/Husbands, and more - oh, and a dog named Trotsky. Be sure to watch for an after-credits bit at the end.

Lots and lots (and lots!) of mayhem here. I love Adkins in everything, and he had a different kind of role in this film from his usual one(s). He’s still badass, though;-) There’s a closing-credits epilogue to watch for.

Donal Logue is sure looking good these days. I like his recurring character here.

Good ol’ Spiro T. I think he was ranting about how mean the press was to him.

The Flash was never a perfect show but it did have good stories/characters. Grant Gustin did a remarkable job. I will really miss the show. Thanks for all the good times. End of an era.

When this series began, the show felt more akin to “The Blacklist” (and a few of us mentioned this at the beginning) - but as time has gone on, it appears it has more of an air of “Blindspot”, with all of its extrapolation of obscure leads, conclusions, and facts.
Not saying I don’t enjoy the show, because I do! Baccarin nails it! It’s just that things have fallen into a pattern of every-step-depends-on-correct-interpretation-of-wild-guesstimate.
Can they sustain a show based on this routine? Time will tell.

too bad that as the series progresses, she loses a bit of that Wednesday-ness and gets a bit more normal.. the makeup is less pale, and a tab bit more “make her look pretty”.. just hitting episode 6.. still rreally enjoying the show.. well written..good acting ..

just checked ‘eagle eye’, and remembered it. was a really good flick, non stop action all the way through. another good one is the ‘source code’if you ever get to check it out. not quite as much action, though there is a good amount, but you really want to pay attention to this one, it gets complicated.

Excellent review, YgraineDance. Thank you.

Yeah, not really getting the Killjoys vibe from this, at least not yet. Thinking about watching something now myself, but not real jiggy with this at the moment for some reason, so going to go looking at what I have on my later list, will find something, have a lot piled up. Will get back to this eventually and see where it goes. It’s either going to surprise me and be good, or I’ll just drop it. Got too much stuff I’m trying to keep up with at it is…

Fabulous comedy! I hated to see it end. Thanks for links so I can view again:-)

Once again, my girl came through with a spot on good comment! You go kid!😁

Well, my headphones sure loved it. Lots of jaw-dropping effects and glorious sound adding spice to a formulaic-but-fun pseudo-science fantasy blockbuster. “Samwell Tarly” from GoT was wonderful in his role here; Berry and Wilson less so, but alright.
Speaking of GoT, I liked how (intentionally or not) the ‘megastructure’ in the story reminded me a lot of Thrones’s opening credits in a way. The rings, movement, etc. Overall a good disaster flick IMO; a sort of combo of The Abyss + The Day After Tomorrow + Independence Day. Fun to watch here at home and likely even better in a theatre.

JLo brings it in this pic that shows off her grit and skill in action roles. Here, she has a part that we’ve seen performed many times by male stars such as Scott Adkins, Steve Austin, Jason Statham, John Cena, The Rock, Liam Neeson, and others. The film takes time to flesh out its characters, showing their evolving motivations; and is filled with thrills, chases, and excellent location shots. It’s a simple script that doesn’t bore you even if the plot is a familiar one. I got a lot from both the good guys and the bad ones here. Overall, this was fun and entertaining; good for JLo.

If you like Terminators, Killbots, and Robocops, you’ll like this. It’s a very witty little cautionary tale that manages to be relevant, darkly humorous, and more than a little unsettling all at the same time. Remember Ed-209 from Robocop? Think Ed, but with brooding, malicious intelligence - plus vicious, implacable posse. It’s an hour and forty-two minutes long, but never bores or wastes time or scenes.

Nicely done! More than a little scary, too….hahahaha

Ahhh,that’s too bad. I was giving this a bit of consideration, actually, based on the fact that Ironside was in it, and always kind of liked him. Especially liked him in ‘V’, he did a great job in that. Trailer looked pretty good too, but then, they are supposed to, aren’t they?

Anyway, I just don’t have the time anymore to watch as much as I used to, and even though I have a bunch of stuff backed up movie wise, I’ll never watch all of it, should try and take some time here and there and cull most of it. Just keep the few I would actually like to get to at some point.

Going to take your word that this would not be worth the time, you have never led me wrong in the past, so trusting your judgment once again. Thanks for the heads up kiddo!😉

The audience was really engaged tonight. Exceptional show all around! Love John Oliver always.

For me, it’s Cornel West. I never miss an opportunity to see Maher acquiesce to his mental superiority.

An excellent series. Amazing story plus a cast that really sells it. A lot of talent has delivered the goods here.

Although I had seen the series when it was first on, somehow I never saw this movie. Reviewers on IMDB seem to almost universally hate it, but the plot kept me interested throughout. It wasn’t terrible, it was just…quite different…from the original series. There were vibes of Robocop, Demolition Man & others about the story, and a neat musical score by none other than Jan Hammer, which took me back to the Miami Vice days and added a lot of charm to things here. Added bonus points given for the San Antonio locale. Enjoy!
