Movies and TV Shows

I tend to avoid the network TV / procedural style shows. I gave this one a try because it was made by CBC and set in Greater Vancouver (Surrey). Nothing is ever set here lol

It's decent, and it touches on more complex topics (ex. harm reduction) fairly well. It also doesn't rely on relationship drama (as of episode 4), which I appreciate.

I'd give it an 7.5/10 so far. I assume the low ratings on IMDB are because of some review bombing

I am mostly referring to show or movie creators answering questions in ways that might effect the lore. They don't have to be plot holes, super significant, or still held to be canon.

For example maybe it was a small detail they elaborated on or they answered a long running question.

I was originally going to give the example of why characters in Star Wars don't toggle their light sabers on and off during combat but it seems like the explanation I was more of a fan theory from what I can tell.

The question can also apply to video games if you have an answer with one of them.

the format of displaying the murder even before the credits. the quirkiness.. almost feigned ignorance.

that said it is different enough to be unique. the character is much more charismatic.. theres all that backstory included with the murder-of-the-week. comedy is up a notch.

im only half way through the season, but its kinda great!

A young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé—someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.

Watched these two the other week, starting with USM. Love how the feature the same cast, but ones a thriller, the other more an action movie.

Hadn’t watched the fugitive in a long time. It’s really good. Kicked me off on a bit of a 90s watching binge.

What if someone you loved became something else?

From Blumhouse and visionary writer-director Leigh Whannell, the creators of the chilling modern monster tale The Invisible Man, comes a terrifying new lupine nightmare: Wolf Man.

Golden Globe nominee Christopher Abbott (Poor Things, It Comes at Night) stars as Blake, a San Francisco husband and father, who inherits his remote childhood home in rural Oregon after his own father vanishes and is presumed dead. With his marriage to his high-powered wife, Charlotte (Emmy winner Julia Garner; Ozark, Inventing Anna), fraying, Blake persuades Charlotte to take a break from the city and visit the property with their young daughter, Ginger (Matlida Firth; Hullraisers, Coma).

But as the family approaches the farmhouse in the dead of night, they’re attacked by an unseen animal and, in a desperate escape, barricade themselves inside the home as the creature prowls the perimeter. As the night stretches on, however, Blake begins to behave strangely, transforming into something unrecognizable, and Charlotte will be forced to decide whether the terror within their house is more lethal than the danger without.

The film co-stars Sam Jaeger (The Handmaid’s Tale), Ben Prendergast (The Sojourn Audio Drama) and Benedict Hardie (The Invisible Man).

Wolf Man is directed by Whannell, whose previous films with Blumhouse include The Invisible Man, Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3. The screenplay is written by Leigh Whannell & Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo (Dumb Money).

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum and is executive produced by Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Leigh Whannell. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

The Rings Of Power continues to substitute good storytelling with an endless, inane parade of callbacks to Lord of the Rings.
