Gatchaman Progress
Finally getting back on track, knocked out 5. Currently up to 82
Series
So glad this came back but not thrilled with the season only being 6 episodes.
Maybe there's more coming? Anyway, the addition of Fred Armesin this go round
as a shady casino owner is extra icing on this already delicious show.
Like seeing a couple of old friends and jumping right back into things. Is it just more episodes of Regular Show? Yes! And that's the best praise I can give it.
This horror thriller mini series is a slow burn that keeps you guessing if
something bad is really going to happen (spoiler alert: it's in the title) or
if it's in the main characters head. The burn pays off in the climax with one
of the most horrifying scenes I've seen.
Guy Ritchie returns to Holmes with his signature style for an extremely
entertaining and fun ride. If I could have binged the whole thing in a day, I
probably would have. Sherlock is great but Moriarty oozes scoundrel charm when
he's on screen. It's got plenty of twists and turns to keep you
guessing.
Movies
Don't listen to the whiny fanboys. If you're thinking about seeing this, do it! It's definitely not Superman. It's a bit grungier, for lack of a better word. Kara is not the shining beacon that her cousin is. This is about her figuring out the kind of person she wants to be. Milly Alcock is the best thing about this movie and I hope we get more of her. If you have a problem with Krypto, I can only assume you've never owned a dog or just hate animals.
Rating: 7/10
You Might Be the Killer (2018, Tubi)
Take The Mask from the movie of the same name but replace Loki with Jason
Voorhees and you get this quirky, comedic summer camp slasher. It doesn't
tackle meta quite on the level of Scream but I have to hand it to them for
doing something original. Definitely a must for slasher fans.
Rating: 6/10
While the first half wasn't as interesting because I didn't know a lot of the
movies, I really started getting into horror in the late 90s so there was a
lot more here that was familiar to me. It was also fun to see the evolution of
the teen slasher post Scream.
Scream 7 (2026, Paramount)
As much as the original Scream redefined horror, the series has become the
very thing those characters were making fun of. It's not terrible but it
doesn't feel like it was necessary other than to introduce Sydney's daughter
to possibly carry the final girl torch. There are a couple of good kills and I like that the trailer doesn't show the biggest plot point (which ends up being a bit of a let down that they didn't go further with it). I don't get how/why this series keeps going with different people
being Ghostface but I'll keep turning up to see what weird hoops they'll jump
through to make it happen.
Rating: 5/10
They Will Kill You (2026, Netflix)
I put the trailer here but I'm begging you, don't watch it if you plan to see
the movie. This insane melding of Tarantino and Sam Raimi should be
experienced blind for maximum fun! This movie is crazy and unpredictable. The
cinematography choices are chef's kiss and the fight scenes are as wild as a Saturday
afternoon Hong Kong flick!
Rating: 8/10
I don't know, I didn't love it like a lot of people do. I can't put my finger
on it but something about the whole viewing just felt a little off for me, like
I was watching a three episode season finale arc condensed into a movie. I
will say, the female anchor at the end of the movie deserves an award for her
performance.
