Avatar: The Way Of Water (2022)
My quick rating - 7.9/10. Time to get in the last nominee for #Oscars2023 since it wasn't released until after the awards show. I was going to wait for the 3-D version to be released, but I am impatient. This one is a long and beautiful flick telling the story of "whatever humans want, they just colonize and take." It is good to see James Cameron use his incredible ability to portray a sinking ship again so dramatically. Seems as though buying, or what it really is, owning a

The Killer Robots! Crash And Burn (2016)
My quick rating - 3.6/10. Looks crappy, but a quick skim on IMDB mentions "campy" and "cult b-budget goodness" so I felt like I had to give it a shot. Pretty ambitious-looking homemade project with an interesting mix of effects. Geez, the one robot who constantly just gives the Hulk "HUURRAAARRGGGHHHH" the whole movie is really damn annoying. If you saw a 5-minute YouTube video such as this, I would think you would be quite impressed by the creativity and visual prowess that

The Nevers (2021)
My quick rating - 7.5/10. It is really a shame that such a bold idea and well-written show is already over. Not to mention that a single season got quietly finished off on a different network than where it started, AND by another writer due to health issues for Joss Whedon . For various prices, you can buy the season on Amazon , Vudu , Google , and Apple . The Nevers (2021) #scifi #jackmeatstv #IMDB #Plex

Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012)
My quick rating 6.4/10. Ok, not drama, but those who know me will realize I won't be posting many drama reviews ( when I wrote this review a decade ago, I had no idea why I saw the need to point that out) . Anyway, this one is a very good anime movie bringing back original characters from the original. The CGI is seamless to the point of you may forget it is CGI. The story is simple: the bugs have taken over a ship and are trying to hitch a ride so they can attempt to breach

The Rig (2023)
My quick rating - 6.0/10. Set on a remote Scottish oil rig, The Rig kicks off with an eerie, supernatural premise as a dense fog rolls in, isolating the crew and unleashing forces beyond their comprehension. The show thrives on its claustrophobic setting, creating a palpable sense of dread, with stunning visuals and impressive special effects amplifying the unease. Iain Glen does a good job through both seasons as Magnus, the head honcho of the rig, bringing a steady, command

Alice In Borderland: Season 2 (2022)
My quick rating - 8.0/10. I didn't review the first season, so I'll try to do a combined review without spoiling anything. That is far easier said than done, especially with a show that spends the entire first season keeping you completely in the dark about what is going on. First off, I will say that the first season, to me, was better than the second, so I think an 8.5 and a 7.5, respectively. It really doesn't matter much, so the whole thing is so good. So the basic idea i

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

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

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
