MOST VALUED CONTRIBUTOR
if you fancy a bit of action with a bit of comedy thrown in , or is it a bit of comedy with a bit action thrown in, then check out "Almost Paradise" on Amazon/Freevee
Really enjoyed that show, it didn’t take long to let the dog off the chain and get all kinds of weird. Loved it.This is a mighty surreal series, I mean Chronenberg levels of odd, but I'm really enjoying it. Definitely adult, so not one for the family nights.
I won't even bother going into the story cos it's so damn odd, but excellent acting, really engaging characters, some very dark scenery and themes.
Brand New Cherry Flavor - Rosa Salazar as the lead (who played Alita: Battle Angel)
I had put that on last night but I didn't get into it properly. Will definitely give it a proper go though.watching The Continental: From the World of John Wick over on Prime, loads of action
The first is my favourite, the second was enjoyable, but the third was just meh!Ok, old one, thought I'd seen this but clearly haven't.
Hangover Part II
This came out in the dark days, I could have sworn I'd seen it before, but no recollection whatsoever. Enjoying it, I think I prefer it to the first one.
The third was proper grimy, and it wasn't really a hangover film, they just made it in the same kind of formula.The first is my favourite, the second was enjoyable, but the third was just meh!
Ultimately it feels like the first one was a far bigger hit than they were expecting, so it needed a sequel, because MONEY! The second was made doing similar things and that worked. They kinda ran out of unique ideas by the third and the formula needed far more innovation than it got!The third was proper grimy, and it wasn't really a hangover film, they just made it in the same kind of formula.
Pity they removed the actual killing though - might have made a perfect 'death row' alternative for some countries with the death penalty - along the lines of Stephen King's 'The Running Man' (albeit the games in the book, like Treadmill to Bucks for those with heart conditions, How Hot Can You Take It, Fun Guns, Dig Your Grave, Swim the Crocodiles and Run for Your Guns)Its coming back...for real...456 people not actors, $4.5m prize....
I always thought reality shows could add a touch of drama and stakes if they just straight up killed the people who get voted outPity they removed the actual killing though - might have made a perfect 'death row' alternative for some countries with the death penalty - along the lines of Stephen King's 'The Running Man' (albeit the games in the book, like Treadmill to Bucks for those with heart conditions, How Hot Can You Take It, Fun Guns, Dig Your Grave, Swim the Crocodiles and Run for Your Guns)
Oooo, that looks fun, right up my streetI did a search and this didn't come up... apologies if its already been discussed but ... If anyone's missed it - I can wholly recommend the Lazarus Project - I've enjoyed both seasons, great mix of sci-fi themes and action. Mind bending time manipulation stuff!
