PHILLIP NOYCECASTHarrison FordAnne ArcherSean BeanPatrick BerginSamuel L. JacksonBased on Patriot Games (1987) by Tom Clancy The movie is not rushed, it's atmospheric and calculated without being too complex. It's not as flashy as one would think but it does its job, entertains. It's the bad guys versus the good guys, one wants revenge the other … Continue reading Patriot Games (1992) Movie Review | Not Rushed and Easy To Grasp

The Flight Attendant (S1 Review) | It’ll Captivate Most Who’ll Give It A Chance (TV Review)
This show only came onto my radar when the first trailer was dropped, it has Kaley Cuoco (Harley Quinn) as the lead and Michiel Huisman (GoT, Wild) in an interesting role. The show was developed by Steve Yockey, not a name that I'm familiar with, he's worked on Supernatural, Scream, and Awkward which to me … Continue reading The Flight Attendant (S1 Review) | It’ll Captivate Most Who’ll Give It A Chance (TV Review)

Rebecca (2020) (Movie Review) | It Takes a Turn
When the first trailer was released, I had no idea there was a 1940 black & white movie by Alfred Hitchcock no less. What drew my attention to this project was the cast Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name, The Social Network), Lily James (Cinderella) & Kristin Scott Thomas (Fleabag, Suite Française) but mostly … Continue reading Rebecca (2020) (Movie Review) | It Takes a Turn
Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey
I'm a scaredy-cat, I know that about myself and I'm O.K. with it. It's the reason why I was so reluctant to see Lovecraft Country even though I wanted to watch and review the pilot when it aired. I didn't. This series nagged at me and I caved. I watched the pilot in broad daylight … Continue reading Lovecraft Country (S1 Review) | An Educational Fantasy Journey

Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
I was browsing for something to watch, in fact I was planning to check out Monsterland's pilot episode to see if it is a series I could watch. But then I saw David Tennant (Good Omens, Jessica Jones) on the poster for this and forgot my plans. This three part miniseries is directed by Lewis … Continue reading Des (Miniseries Review) | A Chilling Story and Performance
Ratched (S1 Review) | Nice Crescendo but Starts to Crumble in the End
I have watched Ryan Murphy shows before I knew who he was...is? It started from Nip/Tuck to The New Normal, Glee, and more recently 911, Pose, and 911 Lone Star. I've bypassed some of his shows because I'm just nit that interested but this one caught my eye. The fictional character this show is based … Continue reading Ratched (S1 Review) | Nice Crescendo but Starts to Crumble in the End
The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things
The novel this movie is based on is not one that I would have picked up. One of the reasons I ended up watching the film is the producer Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far from Home, Brokeback Mountain), and the cast which includes Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Mudbound), Bill Skarsgard (It, Deadpool 2, Allegiant), Harry … Continue reading The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things
The Boys (S2 Premiere Review) | The Set-Up of What Could Be a Great Season?
The new season of The Boys, based on the comic books "The Boys" by writer Garth Ennis and artist Darick W. Robertson, premiered on Prime Video. Review: I am really struggling with writing this, why? Because as good as The Boys is it's not a weekly type of show. There is no villain of the … Continue reading The Boys (S2 Premiere Review) | The Set-Up of What Could Be a Great Season?
