  1. Just saw ALIEN: Romulus. Total crap. Take a drink every time you saw fan service and you would die from alcohol poisoning within the first half-hour. I didn't think it was possible but somehow the director put all 4 ALIEN movies, the two Prometheus films, and the ISOLATION game through a blender to make this garbage. Many of the scenes made me think, "seriously?" Seriously disappointed. Was not scared nor thrilled and was tempted to walk out of the movie. Also didn't care for any of the human characters. WTF?! This seems like a common theme in media these days, no idea why. I drove home from the theater realizing there will never be a good ALIEN film that is at least equal to the first 2 films nor the same for a game like Isolation.
  2. LOL, ALIEN movies that I'd watch in order. ALIENS ALIEN Prometheus Covenant ALIEN3 ALIEN Resurection AVP AVP: R On a side note I'm watching ALIENS on MAX and its a perfect movie. I don't know how It could be any better. In some way its kinda bad for the franchise as it raised the bar so damn high that everything following it can be looked as crap. Darn you, James Cameron!!
  3. Finally! Reviews are coming in for Romulus and so far it looks good. WHEW!! lol I'll watch it in a theater the following weekend so no spoilers please 😉 https://www.ign.com/articles/alien-romulus-review-fede-alvarez
  4. Keep forgetting about the ALIEN series coming to Hulu and trying to wrap my head around its premise that it takes place 30 years before the first film... Sounds dumb but the people behind it have a good resume so who knows? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien:_Earth
  5. True and if they get to wordy I'll ignore the review outright. That being said I use IGN reviews for movies as it seems to be more in tune with our kind of audience. I'll look at the critics reviews before paying money to see a movie that may cause buyer's remorse.
  6. Hadn't seen any reviews and it's making me nervous, lol.
  7. I should have mentioned our visit to Disneyland is only for 1 day too.
  8. We'll be at Disneyland (CA) next week. Recommendations for parks, rides and food?? On a good side note my wife received free park tickets through her office. However this was after I bought $500 worth of Disney gift cards for $50 off, lol. We'll use the gift cards for souvenirs & food and will save whatever funds are left on the gift cards for a future trip to Disney World in 2026.
  9. Half-way through the first season of Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount+ and so far we're really enjoying it! Highly recommended.
  10. NIN for the soundtrack is an excellent choice. NIN can do no wrong.
  11. The evil Queen looks more "fair" to me 😉
  12. It's riding on the first film but not in a way that is annoying like FROZEN2 was. I hope the music is just as good as the first film too.
  13. Looks good, kinda refreshing tbh.
  14. No surprise. Borderlands Review https://www.ign.com/articles/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-kevin-hart-jack-black
  15. Forgot this comes out in a month.
  16. Telling my wife that I think theaters may go the way of drive-ins eventually. The money we pay to see one movie in a theater is more or less equal to a month's subscription of a streaming service.
  17. Heh, just saw Jaleel White will be in this series. I hadn't seen him in anything since Family Matters as Urkel, lol.
  18. Same exact thoughts. Saw it last night and while it had a lot of laughs I have no interest in watching Deadpool again anytime soon. That is a problem with most of MCU/Marvel films tbh, they are nowhere near the quality of DC films. Many MCU movies are even way below Zack Snyder's DC films which I think are way more re-watchable tbh.
  19. Short clip but definitely has ISOLATION vibes which is a very good thing.
  20. You can say the same about most 1980s kids movies, lol.
  21. Could be fun to see something more child friendly plus it'll be interesting to see Jude Law in Star Wars.
  22. I'm on a annual subscription with Paramount+. Signed up because it was cheap and for HALO but it's cancelled now. There is some good movies and series, namely Taylor Sheridan's, in the library but don't care for the new STAR TREK series. Picard was mostly bad and Strange New Worlds doesn't keep my attention long enough. But yeah, don't think I'm gonna renew my subscription when it ends.
  23. My wife and I finished PRESUMED INNOCENT on Apple+ last night and its really good! Highly recommended. Fast paced for a legal thriller that held our attention all the way till the end. It'll be interesting to see what the second season brings. On a side note I had some revelations about the cast. It's the first media I've seen with Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard together since the film Jarhead back in 2005. Peter Sarsgaard is married to Jake's sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and both played district attorney's in different Batman films that met similar fates. Being blown up!! 😱
