“Five Days at Memorial” Review

Doctors and nurses at the intensive care unit of a New Orleans hospital struggle with treating patients during Hurricane Katrina when the facility is without power for 5 days.

This is a series that spends 5 episodes outlining how absolutely terrible and dire the situation was at a hospital with no power, no food, no water, no real security, and no plan to get patients out locally and no real support from their corporate offices, then turns around and spends another 3 episodes vilifying a single doctor for the decisions that she may or may not have made during the final moments of their time in that hellhole hospital. There’s some questions to be asked, but I personally think they should all be directed to the company and not the people that were there volunteering their lives to help others.

Bird Box

IF YOU’VE SEEN WHAT’S OUT THERE… IT’S ALREADY TOO LATE Malorie raises the children the only way she can: indoors, with the doors locked, the curtains closed, and mattresses nailed over the windows. The children sleep in the bedroom across the hall, but soon she will have to wake them and blindfold them. Today they will risk everything. Today they will leave the house. Josh Malerman’s New York Times bestselling Bird Box is a terrifying psychological thriller that will haunt you long after reading.

Bird Box is a quick read, it only took me a couple nights of reading before I went to bed, but it’s a tightly written story without needless exposition or diversions from the main story, for which I’m grateful because this is a solid horror / suspense story that cuts right to the heart of things that I’m personally frightened by: the unseen, the unknown, loss of mental capacity, and the possibility that I’ll injury someone that I care for in my own insanity. There’s a movie, which I’d seen back in 2018 when it was released and a sequel to the movie was just released. I believe the put this book on sale for $2 at the time and I scooped it up. There’s a written sequel to the book which goes in a different direction than the movie sequel, so of course that’s on my wishlist now too.

“We Have a Ghost” Review

Finding a ghost named Ernest haunting their new home turns Kevin’s family into overnight social media sensations. But when Kevin and Ernest investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA.

A much more satisfying movie than I thought it was going to be and definitely much more family friendly than it could have been, this is a pretty solid ghost gone right story.

Bird Box

Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety.

Of course I had to watch the movie again after I read the book and having just read the original story I was primed to see the narrative and structural changes that were made to the story, all of which worked in service of the medium that they were in, with Tom changing from just a close friend to a lover and Malorie having a gun and using a blanket at times to be able to check on the kids while on the river. It’s still a good but small story of some pretty major things happening in the world that I still enjoy.

Spooks the crap out of me still, I wonder how the recently released sequel will be?

After I was done with the “Wearing The Cape” series I was hungry for more superhero stories and there was a Story Bundle of super hero stories and I recognized several of the authors, it even included the first Wearing The Cape book, so I knew it was at least an OK bundle.

This one is by Keith R.A. DeCandido, an author that’s actually met at a convention and I’m a big fan of his Trek work and of his fantasy original IP is top notch and this book is no different than my past experiences with is stories. There’s a good interconnected story happening to several groups of people, some great character development, and a fully fleshed out world for the characters to exist in. The beginning was a little rough as we’re dropped in the middle of a fight with a lot of names to figure out who’s what and there’s no real true POV character to explain all the issues going on in the world. It’s a minor complaint in the end, because the world is eventually made apparent and all the names become familiar in due course.

Spider-Man 2 (2023) – HQ Mobile Wallpaper

The Last Starfighter

The Last Starfighter: Directed by Nick Castle. With Kay E. Kuter, Dan Mason, Lance Guest, Dan O’Herlihy. High schooler Alex Rogan conquers the Starfighter video game, only to find out it was just a test, and is transported to another planet. He has been recruited to join a team of the best starfighters to defend their world from the attack.

Recently released by Arrow Video in 4k / HDR and originally released in 1984 this film still holds up by ever measure that I could apply to it. The music is still unique and interesting, the plot is captivating, and the special effects are obviously from the beginning of the CGI era, but they still look great.

The basic story is that a young man in a trailer park so far away from civilization that there’s no light pollution from city lights gets good enough at a video game that an alien organization takes note and recruits him to be a Starfighter. There’s a bunch of trailer park shenanigans, including a 80’s era trope of a young kid looking at playboy magazines, but for the most part this is a timeless movie that’s going to hold it’s appeal for a long time. I remember as a kid myself being freaked out by the clone’s freaky face, the laser drilling into the spy’s head, and being moved by the “victory or death” chant.

It’s definitely a kid safe concept, but there’s a whole bunch of un-kid safe stuff like the playboy and brain laser thing.

I get some very strong Wing Commander vibes from most of the in space stuff, not sure if WC did that intentionally or if they were both in the same genre. It wasn’t until the end of the film that we get a good sense of just how large the GUNSTAR really is. 10 stories? it’s huge!

The disk comes with some pretty cool special features:

interview with Catherine Mary Stewart, the main female character
interview with composer Craig Safan: intention to stay away from star wars music sounds
interview with writer Jonathan Betuel: struggle to stay away from star wars concepts, “bigger’s not better, emotional works every time”
interview with special effects supervisor Kevin Pike
interview with sci-fi author Greg bear about CGI production: he has a emotionally gushing explanation of the computer generated graphics and the company that made them “Digital Productions”
interview with arcade game collector Estil Vance on reconstructing the Starfighter game, which never actually came out.
