Sci-fried? Not even close!!

Sci-fried? Not even close!! I used to look forward to the weeks purely so I could sleep in and refresh from the week. However, now I long for them so I can escape on another Sci-fi adventure. I still get plenty of time outside, Kona allow it to be any other way. I cannot even begin to tell you how many I have watched since I kicked this off about a month ago. I just know each day I dream about being able to do nothing but get lost in another adventure on Netflix, well normally Netflix every now and again I branch out to Amazon. Every time I think I am done digging up a new adventure I find even more to go on. I just put 8 more in the queue yesterday during breakfast. The truth is I watched so many that I cannot even remember what I watched this weekend. I also know I am way behind in writing reviews and I will probably never catch up. I am going to try and recount the movies I have watched this weekend alone: Friday 4/17 Extinction Mute Saturday 4/18

Anon Loved this movie and it’s not even because I had a man crush on Clive Owen for a while and wanted him to be the next James Bond before Daniel Craig. It’s also not because Amanda Seyfried is a total Betty and shows off the cleavage and has a sex scene. No it’s just a good plot, good acting, and all around gripping entertainment. Every time I sat back to relax it brought me back tot he edge of my seat. I think the rating on IMDb don’t give it justice. This film has a theme similar with the Black Murrow episode “The Entire History of You”. Technology embedded in the eye so that you can reply everything you’ve seen. You can store your memories like in a computer disk and go back to it whenever you want.  In this movie they don’t need a key fob to go back and forth thru the material. It’s all done thru the eye. They never explain the tech itself and that is ok bc you don’t need that. Everyone has the tech in them and the idea is that not being anonymous is good. If

Singularity

Singularity  (2017) Directed by:  Robert Kouba Starring: Jeannine Wacker, John Cusack, Julian Schaffer Lead actress is smoking hot but in the movie they try to make her a cross between a walking dead wanna-a-be with her crossbow and a rebel fighter from the Clone Wars cartoon with her EMP grenades. I was rooting for this movie I wanted to like it and like the characters but I couldn’t. My first issue is a few minutes I learned the John Cusack was in it. Can’t stand the guy. He’s like America’s darling but I am not a fan. The only movie of his I recall really liking is The Raven, perhaps Hot Tub Time Machine as well.  This story will really blow you away, wink, wink. So you have a world that is full of unrest. So a company making machines and robots tries to fix it. The try to end war with the machines. The machines create more violence. So the company or Cusack who sucks even playing the big bad, creates Kronos, the AI tool that will fix everything. Kronos is turne

The Quarantine ERA and 2049

The Quarantine ERA I never meant to use my blog as a way to critique others peoples works of art. I know how I feel about people critiquing my work. I hate it. I’m not even talking about my written work. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an honest review. Most of my readers are friends. These types of readers tend to encourage and not critique. They tell me to keep going and keep up the writing. I am talking about my day job. I’m talking about the part of me that lives in the office 8-12 hour a day, 5 - 6 days a week. There I can be very sensitive, probably to sensitive to critique. I get very defensive and put my hackles up. Perhaps I shouldn’t think of this of critiquing an artist work, but just giving my interpretation of it. For all I know the artist could critique my interpretation of it and therefore perhaps I missed something. Maybe I had to stop and piss during a critical point and pausing the movie killed the importance. Or maybe Kona came over and slapped me on the sho
