1899: Season 1 (2022)
My quick rating - 7.3/10. Currently streaming on Netflix and trust me, you'll want to see it, and if you can, catch it in 4K goodness. 1899: Season 1 (2022) #thriller #IMDB #Plex

The Binge 2: It's A Wonderful Binge (2022)
My quick rating - 4.8/10. I caught the first one and thought it was average. May as well give their holiday sequel a look. Ah, and why is it a Christmas flick? They moved the annual Binge to Christmas Eve. At times, this one was quite funny, but the other times, it was awful. There are some pretty good actors in this one as well, which you would think could've brought the production as a whole up, but it was tough to get through such a stupid story. It was almost like an an

Carol For Another Christmas (1964)
My quick rating - 6.8/10. If you just glance at the poster, you will know why I had to check this one out. I didn't even know this existed until last month. In this grim take on A Christmas Carol , they surely got one thing right. That is their look of the future, the world view of "ME" being all important. It seems HBOMax is the only place streaming this one. Carol For Another Christmas (1964) #fantasy #IMDB #Plex

Reno 911!: It's A Wonderful Heist (2022)
My quick rating - 5.7/10. A Reno 911 Xmas special??? Yes please!!! I will make sure you are aware that I am a huge fan of the TV show and have been keeping up with the squad's antics ever since the show finished its run. I will say that this entry and last year's Hunt for Qanon are very much comparable as far as quality goes. For me, it is a step down from the show's pretty consistent comedic chops. That doesn't mean it isn't entertaining to get the whole crew back for anot

Gantz (2011)
My quick rating - 6.9/10. I only know the summary part of the manga, so I will stick to the movie itself. The movie starts with two old friends( ? ) who coincidentally meet on a train platform. In this brief moment, they attempt to rescue a man from the train tracks, and in trying this, they are killed by the oncoming train. Or were they? The two awaken in a room with a few other strangers, all of whom claim to have been killed. Accompanying them is a mysterious black orb, wh

The Wandering Earth (2019)
My quick rating - 7.1/10. Ok, sort of a spoiler. Not of this movie, but the movie that this movie screams a comparison to, Armageddon . I personally loved that movie, the sheer unbelievable nature of landing on an asteroid and blowing off a nuclear weapon to split it in two, saving the Earth from being struck. Still a great movie, especially for a popcorn flick. Now we have a movie that makes the absolutely crazy idea of Armageddon seem like a simple addition problem. T

Hellblazers (2022)
My quick rating - 4.1/10. I saw Christmas lighting in the trailer, so I figured I would slip this one in for a holiday horror flick. That and Tony Todd is always a highlight for these B-budget flix. It was streaming on TubiTV seemingly exclusively, wink-wink. Hellblazers (2022) #horror #IMDB #Plex

The Lazarus Project: Season 1 (2022)
My quick rating - 7.7/10. Oh, this better come back for a second season! This is a one-of-a-kind time travel type show that really suckers you in from the beginning. It gives you a scenario that has SO many plausible outcomes that there is no way to know where it will go. And how they make this work is, I don't truly believe they knew where it was going either. It feels so fluid in how Joe Barton wrote this that makes me miss corporate days and having a show like this to tal

Christmas Bloody Christmas (2022)
My quick rating - 5.1/10. Christmas Bloody Christmas wastes no time introducing us to two characters so aggressively annoying that you may find yourself rooting for them to be the first names crossed off Santa’s list. Riley Dandy and Sam Delich take control of the opening act, delivering a barrage of banter that clearly wants to channel Clerks. The sad thing is, this is not exactly an apt comparison. Rather than solid dialogue and plot, we’re treated to this ridiculous F-bomb

Supernova (2000)
My quick rating - 4.6/10. I am fairly sure I saw this one in the theater and haven't seen it since, so the length works for some background while I work. That was a quick reminder about why I wasn't sure. This is a very forgettable flick. I would've thought with such a great cast, the movie would've been a bit more entertaining, but everyone involved got stuck with a very lame script. The crew of a hospital ship in space receives a distress beacon and ends up intercepting a b

Troll (2022)
My quick rating - 6.1/10. All I can think of is the excellent Troll Hunter when I saw this Netflix film available, so of course, I am going to watch it! The fascination with Trolls in Norway and throughout their mythology is quite interesting. This appears to be a big-budget take on what happens when you screw around with Mother Nature too much and piss off the mountain trolls that live within. They have all borne witness to a 150-foot-tall walking rock with a face destroyi
