A Cure for Wellness

Beautifully shot. Very creepy. Interesting mystery that kept my attention. A little too long but still worth a watch.

Fargo: 3x06 The Lord of No Mercy

That is a shitty way to die. I did like how they pulled the ole switch-a-roo on who we thought was going to die. I laughed when I saw his gun in the cheese drawer.

Even on a second watch this is amazing. The emotions feel real. Brie Larson is perfect.

What did I just watch? What a weird but grossly entertaining film. I've never felt more disgusted and intrigued during a movie. Definitely worth a watch.

Better Call Saul: 3x07 Expenses

That last scene it's hard to tell whether or not Jimmy is being real or another con but he's always going to be slipping Jimmy and thats what makes Saul Goodman fun. Seems like big things are coming in the next few episodes with Hector and Nacho.

The Leftovers: 3x06 Certified

There's a storm coming.

I really liked the flashback storytelling and the foreshadowing before she joined the guilty remnant. Laurie sent Nora off to try and find her kids with Matt. She is Nora's enabler and emotional support. Nobody wants to be that security guard but someone has to do it or else there will be fucking chaos. (Side note when she took the cigs from Nora and said you are now officially my patient I couldn't help but think of Saul Goodman.) Laurie got to her final goodbye to Kevin and when he asks about Nora all she says is, "We're all gone." Everyone is emotionally gone, that's what this world does. She takes her life after one last talk with her kids about Today's Special. Today is the seventh anniversary and it is special. Who else will go besides Kevin? Will he see her at the hotel? Will he be able to come back and save the world from the flood?

This is some of the best TV ever and I don't want it to end. 2 episodes left..

Before I Fall

I never really cared for any of the characters. It has a good message for kids in high school, not to bully, but for adults it's pretty boring.

Alien: Covenant

I thought this was a well paced good horror/thriller. First and second act were strong, third one seemed familiar. Good addition to the franchise and I hope there is another sequel to this one.

OF COURSE James Franco dies in the first ten minutes. At least they didn't heavily promote him. And how the hell did Danny McBride survive the whole movie, I for sure thought he would of died early. The Walter/David twist I saw a mile away. As soon as he cut his hair I thought they would switch, but David's hair was blonde and it didn't look like he had dark roots so not sure how he got that hair.

Fargo: 3x05 The House of Special Purpose

I was a little worried there for a second at the end but I'm glad Nikki is still alive. Ray and her have been pretty shitty to Emmitt but not enough to be killed off.

The Leftovers: 3x05 It's a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World

"Because I could."

Scary that God could do something like the departure just because. "God" was the same man Kevin meet at the bridge and the bar at the hotel. Burton died 3 years ago, about the same time when Kevin died twice. Whether or not he really is God he saved Matt by making him realize he doesn't have to think about how God would judge him. He may still be dying but his mind is saved. And really, of course he would get eaten by the lion. Poetic justice for Matt.

Also that opening was weird but at least it explained the explosion. I'm glad we are getting some answers quickly. All the main characters are in Australia now, whats going to happen next? Only three more...

Wow! This episode was amazing. The feels that I got and it was directed by Aziz. It deserved it's extended runtime.

This episode reminded me a lot of Atlanta. Not many shows can pull off having an episode on characters we don't know but this show can.

I loved the intertwining date stories. This is too real for today's society.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

Its not as bad as the critics are making it out to be. Its a fine and entertaining movie. This would be best to just wait for it to come to netflix. It sets itself up for sequels but I'm not sure if we are ever going to see those if this bombs as bad as expected.

The Wall

Surprising good movie. Very interesting concept and Aaron Taylor-Johnson was great. How did the sniper shoot John Cena, he cant see him.

There's not a lot of laughs and its very cliche. At least you get to see Amy Schumer's tit but it still wasn't that good.

Great episode as always. I loved hearing Billy Bob Thornton as the narrator.

Better Call Saul: 3x05 Chicanery

Finally we see Chuck snap, showing his true hatred for Jimmy. There's no coming back. I feel like Chuck's story line is over and that's good because we can now focus more on Gus. What a perfect episode of tv and a huge turning point in the season and show.

Also Huell makes an excellent cameo with his fast fingers. I can never see him and not think if ever got out of that room in BrBa.

The Leftovers: 3x04 G'Day Melbourne

That last scene was too intense. Two broken people finally cracking. Leaving Nora to cry in the room with water spraying on her, no one will see her tears. By the way that was a great shot with take on me playing. Kevin leaving only to find his dad. Is the book of Kevin gone for good now or did the other copy somehow get saved? What was that about a explosion? Will Nora go back and try to be with her family now that Kevin is gone? Now we know why that guy lit himself on fire last week, but he said no to killing the baby. Maybe it has to do with how you answer or maybe they just want to see how desperate people are? Why is there testing? While Nora was being tested I was not surprised she had a calm heart rate in the box (coffin) she seemed comfortable and almost accepting. Great episode and only 4 more.

Was a lot of fun. The first fight scene was great. Soundtrack wasn't as strong as the first IMO. A lot of beautiful shots with bright colors. Yondu's death was sad. Ego was a decent villain. Didn't quite understand why he was destroying the universe. Already looking forward to the next one but we have infinity war first.

EDIT: Watching again for Infinity War and it is still great. Beautiful and funny and still surprising emotional.

Brandy, you're a fine girl...

Fargo: 3x03 The Law of Non-Contradiction

Good episode but didn't advance the plot much. Interesting that the robot's story basically mirrored Gloria's story in LA. Searching for an answer only to find nothing. I wonder what the box means. It turns itself off if someone else comes and turns it on. I loved seeing Rob McElhenney for It's Always Sunny maybe next we can get Charlie or Danny Devito.

Great to see Martha back. I wonder how the Henry storyline goes. Maybe they let him go to school because they don't want him involved in what they do. Gaberial said Paige should of never be involved.

Better Call Saul: 3x04 Sabrosito

Bingo! Seems like Jimmy always has a plan. He is starting to get a counter argument with pictures of his Chuck's house (thanks Mike) and now there still is a tape. Battle of the brothers. Also it was fun to see Gus vs Hector and there is actual dialogue from Hector, we all know who ended up wining that battle in the end.

What a weird and beautifully shot episode. It wouldn't be a Bryan Fuller show without buckets of blood. I'm intrigued to see what comes next.

The Leftovers: 3x03 Crazy Whitefella Thinking

"Would you kill a baby if it would cure cancer?"

Another great episode that just focuses on one character. Kevin Sr. might be just insane enough to be onto something. If this is Kevin Sr's story, like he keeps saying, and not Kevin Jr's and Junior is like Jesus with the resurrections that makes Senior the father of Jesus, God? Just a crazy thought...

This movie was before it's time with the amount of protest on college campuses now a days. Just not really that funny.

Colossal

This is such a weird and interesting movie. This goes from an off beat rom-com to something much darker. I enjoyed the tone change and I didn't go into this wanting to question the laws of physics but just let the story unfold. You will enjoy this much more if you suspend your beliefs in the laws of nature. Anne Hathaway was great and I enjoyed Jason Sudeikis for the most part even though his character started acting like a dick.

This movie has me at a loss for words. 3 hours just flew by. It's amazing what PTA was able to do with so many different characters and make us care for them and bring them together.

The Circle

This raises some interesting questions about privacy and human behavior. Its a little scary that we are not to far away from something like this in real life. I can't help but think of how fake everyone acts when they know they are on camera. People are who they really are when no one is watching and if you take that away then no one is real or unique. I understand if you have nothing to hid then who cares if someone watches but its always in the back of people's minds that you private life isn't really private.

Emma Watson was great and believable character and Tom Hanks plays a great "villain" wish he would do some more "evil" roles. Ellar Coltrane is pretty awful, I know he was the boy in Boyhood who we saw grow up but hes not a very good actor. John Boyega was not in this movie enough and wish his character was explored more. Would of been interesting to see how someone who invented this technology deals with himself and the repercussions of his invention.
