Finally saw Creed II... It didn't live up to my expectations...

Caught a little bit of Treadstone... Can't decide if it has potential or not.  Might have to watch a full episode.

Watchmen, Episode 1

Rating: Really/F'ing Good

I was super impressed and am all in on this. Regina King was badass.

Not familiar with the back story on this one, so thought it was a German plane in the first 1921 scene.

Regina King is very good.

same here. 

I'm watching a new show called Dublin Murders. I think you and the Mrs would enjoy it.

[Taylor]

Mr. Robot season 4 is excellent so far, as expected.

Schitt's Creek season 5 was great. I love that show.

Netflix:  The Laundromat  It's a movie about money laundering.  With a cast like Streep, Oldman, Banderas gave it a shot.  This was a train wreck all over.  A pass movie.

be honest... you thought it was a movie about Asians, didn't you?

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Fractured  One of those psycho mystery thrillers.  It was really well done.  Don't want to give anything away, but this one had me really paying attention to see what happened.  Would recommend it.

Did you watch?  How was it (Treadstone)?

not yet. I've been watching Dublin Murders. I'll probably watch it tonight. 

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Inside Man Most Wanted  A Netflix movie about a bank robbery.  Kind of like Money Heist.  Actually very close to money heist.  Overall, a good time killer.  If you haven't watched Money Heist, you'd probably enjoy this a bit better.

Just saw the cult superhero movie, Blankman, for the first time on Showtime On Demand.  Think urban Remo Williams but with delusions of grandeur.

The OA season 1.

Im not really sure how I feel about this. It's kind of awful but the hard outs on the episodes have me binging. It feels like something I'd write but then throw in the garbage cuz I thought it was trash.

A whole bunch of it doesn't really make sense or feels kind of random, but if you just accept it for what it is, it's kind of compelling... Like, why is Prairie jumping off a bridge in the opening? Are they even gona go back to that? 

And then...

Spoiler

The school shooter plot line is literally out of left field. If that is your big payoff this should be established somewhere earlier in the series. Who is the school shooter, why are they school shooting? What is it about the dance that they've learned that stops school shooters from firing more than one round? wtf?

At the same time, wanting to learn what happened with Prairie, the details of her near death experience and her years long disappearance are compelling. Also the subtlety unique way the story is told is really engaging.

Answers, kind of in season 2.  It's a weird show.  Too bad they aren't going to finish it up.

They're seriously only going to do 2 out of 3 parts?

I think it was supposed to be 5 parts.  But yeah, it got cancelled.  And season 2 really does make season 1 make more sense.  Well, not really, but makes it not as much weird.

Ok I feel better then. For some reason I was thinking it was three.

Netflix:  Raising Dion  A new take on a superhero series.  First part is more about raising a child with powers that he doesn't know how to control.  Ending is more of about the superhero plot line.  Pretty well done overall.  A good one for a superhero fan.  It's should be entertaining for someone looking for something to watch also.

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Rattlesnake  A Netflix movie, kind of horror, but more suspense/thriller type.  Don't want to give anything away, since it's a simple straightforward film.  It's a bit simple and predictable.  More of a time killer film if you are into that type of movie.

Joker was really good. It wasn't perfect, but it was very solid for what it set out to do. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal.

I didn't like the on-the-nose scenes with child Bruce Wayne. We didn't need to see another Batman origin story baked in to this Joker origin story.

 

Went to see this at the local theater tonight.  Not a typical Comic Book movie at all.  The performance by Joaquin Phoenix is so edgy.   He has to be the favorite to win the Oscar this year.

I really liked this one.

Spoiler

I really didn't mind the scenes with young Bruce.  The initial encounter was a main turning point for Arthur, as his decent really took off from there.

What is real and what is imagined.  Did he have a relationship with the lady on his floor?

What is truth and is fabrication.  Was he really adopted?
