AI Combat Warrior Will be Unleashed
Science fiction night tonight baby. Since I’ve already thrown out the whole “trying to not do new movies in the long-format” thing, here’s a fresh off the press one from Netflix and some lovely folks over in Korea whose name’s I’d only butcher pronouncing them cause I’m bad at that. We’ve got robots, we’ve got AI, and we’ve got a very interesting looking trailer to pull me in. Tonight, we light up some yellow as we check out Jung_E.

If I’m being honest, I watched this movie when it first came out. I thought I had already done a review for it back when I watched it, but in typical me fashion I either live in a computer-world where my AI overlords are constantly altering things to mess with me, or I just thought I did and didn’t per norms. We’ve got some action, we’ve got some emotional strings, we got all sorts of things - including some fun facts that I learned on making of’s and that fun Stuntmen Reacts on YouTube. Get the crew together, it’s time to get to Extraction.

I saw a trailer and cover art and went “Why yes, this looks like some fun.” I figured it would be a more Japanese, anime-influenced take on something like Gunpowder Milkshake. Oh man, was I off in that call. Strap in for some whiplash action and a crap load of laughs, tonight you’ll find yourself questioning The Violence Action.

I’m merciless with some of the tie-in stuff I do when it comes to logical steps in my thought chains. You see, one of my side gigs - really a hobby with slightly more effort invested - is charity streaming on my YouTube channel raising funds for a little outfit known as Extra Life - effectively raising money for Children’s Hospitals. For this year, I decide the theme was going to be horde games- you know, those cookie cutter games where you fight your way to an objective and then hold out against incredibly odds until you need to go to the next objective? Well, where all this ties in to tonight’s movie is really at the concept of that - get to an objective and survive the waves. Tonight things get slightly biblical at the apt named diner, tonight we are introduced to Legion.

When it comes to new years, nobody ever knows what they will hold. One could say that there’s a lot of mystery involved with the closing of the old year and introduction of the new, and tonight we’ll play off that. You know I love to find my superficial reasons to watch movies that I’d want to watch anyways, but most the time it turns out fine doesn’t it? Let’s all agree with the director and leave the subtitle out, tonight we visit the Glass Onion.
Read MoreYou better watch out.
Tonight’s movie is straight off the press. I know I try not to do these normally because it’s almost always conflicting goals with not giving away a lot but still talking about all the parts that are favorites, but you can’t expect me to pass up what looks like a cater-made Christmas movie days before Christmas lands. Oh yeah, that’s right, tonight Santa is bringing a whole new level of punishment to the naughty list - tonight is a Violent Night.

I told you there was one that dealt with a book that I wanted to do, and here it is. I actually don’t know a ton about the book - indeed, funnily enough I know more about it’s existence because of an old game than I do the book itself. Still, I got the general idea of it from the premise - enough so to recognize it when I see it all modern-day and with Momoa slapped into it. Either way, I like me the idea of dreams and the crazy neat visuals that can come from it, and the family-grade rating tells me it shouldn’t be so excruciatingly heavy that I feel miserable after watching it, so let’s give our souls a break and see what’s happening over in Slumberland.
Read MoreFight for tomorrow
Tonight we get a movie that I was hoping for for a while that Netflix finally brought over so I could see it. That’s right, turn on your subtitles and get your glasses, tonight we are going to hop a rail car to the futuristic action flick of Chinese blockbusters. Of all the movies I see, I would say China probably has the closest grasp to being remarkably similar to what you’d expect out of the corpse-god that is Hollywood. Don’t get me wrong, I love me me some Bollywood especially, but their in a league their own you know? Anyways, grab the powered armor suits and put them in your APC, it’s time to check Warriors of Future.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched a stop motion animated movie. Indeed, you barely see them come out these days - people have largely all moved on to the slightly less time-intensive forms of animation like computers. I don’t blame them, it’s a bit of an underrated art form in my book. Still, that does make it easy to peak my interest whenever I do see one come out, and honestly that’s pretty much all it needs right there. Tonight we get some Key and Peele smooth as clay, but let’s see how it will play out in Wendell & Wilde.
Read MoreThis year spring break is cut short.
Alright, it’s that holiday where you spend time eating food and being thankful with your family. Well, it’s also a movie night, so great minds do what great minds do when pinched for time - they choose a movie they’ve already watched a ton and never did a review for, so they can review while they watch and watch while they review! Thematically this little horror comedy actually does fit kind of nicely with the idea of being thankful, as well as a whole lot of misunderstanding - so grab some of that pie and strap in for Tucker & Dale vs Evil.
Read MoreHalloween comes to life
Yes, October is over and this is a Halloween movie. If I’m being real, I just didn’t get around to watching this movie until today - it happens sometimes - and I spent a little too much free time tonight watching documentaries so this ended up being the best option to do unless I wanted to be up extra late writing up a review. We’ll be back to your regularly scheduled programing later on - I found a stop motion flick I’d like to check out, a sequel I didn’t know existed or was asked for, and at some point I should really rip through the Wick franchise on here - but for tonight, just bear with me. Let’s all settle in with the family and the pots of popcorn as we discover The Curse of Bridge Hollow.

My cousin hasn’t seen tonight’s movie. Now, normally I might be bothered to try and capitalize on Veterans day for some good old military action, but when I realized that tonight’s was a freebee on YouTube the deal was sealed. Through the combination of the universe saying “this should be remedied,” I decided that yes, we would make my cousin watch this movie and see just why the new Mortal Kombat was so appreciated.- tonight we watch Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

When you scroll Netflix and see a title that’s a word you recognize, so you open the description up and go “alright, sounds not bad” and add it to your watch list, you get a bunch of movies you have no clue what to expect. Yep, another Netflix Presents movie - one that only got my attention thanks to sharing it’s name with the Greek goddess warrior - although the name is somewhat where that dies out and then the description has to pick it up for the interest. It’s a foreign flick, but the absolute mad level of captioning and dubbing available means that even with my desire to not read a movie tonight, I could still tune in for watch. Tonight we spark a keg waiting to blow as we watch Athena.
Read MoreYou think you know the story.
The time has come! That’s right, I’ve refused to do this one as a long format for years - in fact, it’s the reason i created the shorter quick-flick format that I’ve used for newer movies. Well, tonight we are going to flip that out in celebration of me just wanting to watch it again - it’s been long enough without me doing it that I don’t think we have to really hold back about it anymore, so grab you extendable thermos and prepare - tonight we visit The Cabin in the Woods.
Read MoreThree movies. Three weeks. One killer story.
I was super excited about this when it came out - I mean, at least as excited as I normally get, which is probably more a lukewarm “did you hear about that thing?” kind of excitement compared to others. Still, a three-part horror movie event that’s based on books I probably read at some point when I was a bit younger - who knows. Look, point is Netflix Originals still have a track record of not leading me wrong - probably in part because I only check out the ones that interest me in the first place, but a three part horror story sounded great to me. We’ll see if we hit the others for review or if we just leave it at number one -get ready to stroll down Fear Street.
Read MoreWitness the Beginning of Evil
There’s a long line of movies and shows attached to tonight’s entry. It’s not a specific situation of this one directly - but rather as a franchise it’s forked off to so many different things that if any franchise were to have massive in-fighting, I would expect this one would be the easiest. The funniest part of the entire situation is that more so than a lot of others, I’m familiar with this franchise and the attempts frequently pain me with how little they seem to care about it past the name drawing folks in - so how will tonight fare? Well, sit down and you are totally Welcome to Raccoon City.

Tonight is time for a little experiment. I wanted to show my cousin, who I’ve previously forced (although I guess forced might be a bit over exaggerated) to watch an entry of Paranormal Activity to watch another found footage movie in the same vein and see what he thought of it. See, I love the concept of found footage, abut I always feel it’s done kind of cruddy - either it forgets what it’s trying to be and ends up being a worse movie for it, or it ends up feeling incredibly padded out by events being shown that don’t make any sense as to why they would be recorded. Both options brings the genre down, so when I found this little gem on streaming a while ago, i took note of it - and apparently I’m not the only one because they’ve made either more of them since then! Tonight, we download that cloud footage with Bed Ben.
Read MoreNever Talk to Strangers
It’s getting to be the spooky season, but that’s not really the reason for tonight’s choice. I mean, it doesn’t hurt really, but tonight is actually another rendition of “wait staff recommends”, in which case I’ve gathered some movie recommendations from a restaurant whilst going out for dinner. Just so happens that tonight lines up with both really, so let’s remember why we don’t talk to strangers. Tonight, we take a look for the phone that keeps on ringing, tonight we watch The Black Phone.
Read MoreWhen the eagle meets the dragon.
I see a trailer of Jackie Chan fighting a roman and I’m in. Simple man, I know, but nothing wrong with that you know? America isn’t the only place with sword and sandals style movies, and China never seems to have that same level of extra that makes them more fun, even though I’m sure some wouldn’t be as appreciative of it when you tag in that “based on historical events” label. Anyways, let’s go find out what happens when the eagle meets the dragon, tonight we watch Dragon Blade.
Read MoreThe line between hero and villain will be broken.
We know vampires. We know plenty of types and attempts of vampires. We know Spider man. We know all sorts of things - but the one thing we will never know is why out of nowhere someone wanted to make a movie centered on the comic character Morbius that most of us non-comic types probably know from Spider-man adjacent stuff like video games and cartoons. Anyways, people crapped all over this movie and turned it into a meme, so I expect it to be at worst mediocre going off past experiences - let’s check it out. Keep you blood in your veins and don’t go mixing with bat DNA - tonight we watch Morbius.
