Netflix’s Extraction – A Movie Review
If you’re thinking of watching Netflix’s new movie, Extraction, get ready for a wild, entertaining, and ultimately meaningless ride. Extraction stars Chris Hemsworth as an Australian mercenary hired to retrieve the son of a powerful drug lord who was kidnapped by another powerful drug lord. Much of the story takes place throughout southern Asia and…

Code 8 – A Movie Review
Have you noticed a movie on your Netflix Top Ten list called Code 8? Know anything about it? No? I didn’t either. In fact, it wasn’t until I read an article over at Wired that I even became aware of Code 8. This movie has a fascinating history, one that prompted me to see the…

Picard – A Few Thoughts
While I admit that I am first and foremost a Star Wars guy, I would be lying if I said I didn’t love Star Trek: The Next Generation. I remember watching quite a bit of TNG while in high school late at night when there was nothing else on. All of the characters were great,…

In-Theater Movies At Home – A Few Thoughts
For years and years I’ve wished that we had the option of watching movies at home the day they arrived in theaters. There are a few movies I must see in the theater, particularly with my Marvel-movie crew, but, for the most part, I thought I’d be happy to pay a little extra and sit…

Ozark: Season Three – A Few Thoughts
No spoilers, I promise. Ozark is one of those shows that is difficult to describe. The title is both perfect and horrible because it completely throws the viewer off from the actual nature of the show, which is also what makes the title so fitting. If you’ve never seen it, the first two seasons are…

Netflix’s Sugar Rush – A Fun Family Show
If you’re looking for a fun family show, I’d like to recommend Netflix’s Sugar Rush. My youngest daughter actually discovered this show on her children’s profile. She wanted to watch it, so we thought we’d give it a shot. Turns out that the whole family loves it! The premise is pretty simple. There is a…

Mute – A Movie Review
Mute is a sequel of sorts to Moon, which you may remember I enjoyed quite a bit. Ducan Jones wrote and directed both, so it makes sense that they exist in a shared reality. I have to admit that I did not enjoy Mute nearly as much as Moon. Mute has a run-time of two…

Netflix’s Tiger King – A Few (Introductory) Thoughts
I’ve seen a LOT online about a documentary on Netflix called Tiger King. Even so, when I would notice the “poster” on Netflix, I always thought it looked ridiculous. It appeared as some sort of a mockumentary–I assumed it couldn’t be real. However, I listen to a radio program called The Dan LeBatard Show with…

The Mandalorian – A Few Thoughts
This is probably my favorite show of all time, so there is no excuse for just now writing about it months after it debuted. By the way, yes, I’m a Star Wars fanatic. And, no, I’m not capable of being objective when it comes to Star Wars. However, even with that being said, this is…

Amazon’s The Boys – A Few Thoughts
I’ve been meaning to write about this crazy show for a long, long time because I actually watched it last summer. However, it says something that even after all of these months, it still stands out as one of the best series I’ve seen in quite a while. Based on a comic book, The Boys…
