    91xZuSSrVWL. RI SX300 the legend of the hidden temple

    Three siblings embark on a temple tour and discover the legends behind it are real. They must navigate a series of booby-trapped rooms to lift the temple’s curse and escape with their lives.

    Defunctland mentioned this show in one of their episodes, along with the fact that there was a movie made after the wrap of the show. It’s not an award winning movie, but it’s a fun story that I slept through a fair bit of. My wife was dutifully entertained, as she was a fan of the original show when it was on air. One thing that interested me for the 20 or 30 minutes I was awake for, but the eldest of the three kids is played by Isabela Moner, who later went to to star in Transformers: Last Knight.

    After the box office disappointment of ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story,’ the studio plans to expand the universe with new characters introduced in movies and television shows.

    I’ve been happy with the work completed under her guidance, there’s been two great films, two ‘not bad’ films and a whole bunch of epic television that has entertained me greatly.

    The First Purge

    71qG4GdMVrL. SL1500 The First Purge

    Blumhouse Productions welcomes you to the movement that began as a simple experiment in one isolated community, but spread across the nation: The First Purge.

    If you’ve seen any of the other purge films, you’ve seen this one, for better or worse. There’s some silly back plots about a shady character who looks remarkably like Sean Spicer, but you can safely ignore those plot points, as they’re just there to make you feel like you’re not watching violence / torture porn.

    Sicario Day Of The Soldado

    91frxX2Fl7L. RI SX300 Sicario: Day Of The Soldado

    Federal agent Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) calls on the mysterious Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro) to escalate the drug war in unscrupulous ways.

    There was something lost from the first movie to this one. Despite all the violence and action I was finding my attention wandering.

    Steel Storm Steel Legion Book 2

    51NWLGhRviL Steel Storm (Steel Legion Book 2)

    A routine sentry mission discovers a human colony where only bones remain, and the hostiles are nowhere to be found. Days later a fusion bomb devastates the defending forces on the desert planet Squire. Hordes of the insectoid Kadan flood the planet with the technology of the ancient Emflife. They advance to crush the human lines but stop just short of victory. Colonel Cole Clarke and his battalion of convicts must discover what the Kadan are really doing. Their untested armor is the only thing that can stand up to the Emflife tanks, and that’s if they’re lucky. They’re outgunned, outmatched, and stretched thin. If they fail, the alien invasion won’t stop until they’ve burned their way into the heart of human space. Terra. Sent on an impossible mission with no support, the 19th ACR strikes out alone.

    Another good book from Casey Calouette, it was pretty interesting to see two sides of the same battle, one from orbit in spaceships that are only just barely flying, and one from the ground where tanks are pounding away at each other. It’s been about three years since this book came out, the second in a series, and while I understand the author is busy with life, it would be great if he could write me some sequels. I do recognize that he has had several other books come out and has been dealing with recovering from cancer treatment, so I guess I’ll have to be happy with reading absolutely everything else this guy has written. I’m series, he’s among my favorite authors at this point, only two books in!

    Heads up, if you sign up for his email list on his website you’ll get a free book. You’ll also get a free copy of the book if you go to amazon.com and click “give me the free copy“. No idea if you need to be a Prime member or not for the amazon version of the free book.

  • Borderlands The PreSequel

    91LfdoaX7QL. AC SL1500 722x1024 Borderlands: The Pre Sequel
    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a new role-playing shooter in the critically acclaimed Borderlands series. Play as four all-new character classes while carving a path of destructive mayhem across Pandora’s never-before-seen low-gravity moonscapes with all new moves, weapons, and vehicles!

    I give up on this game. I got about half way through and just lost all will to even load it up, kept it on the top of the “To Play” pile and just said “ugh” every time I saw it there. Perhaps it’s just more of the same from Borderlands 2, maybe it was the oxygen mechanic, maybe it was the setting, or maybe it was the characters. I loved ZER0 from the original sequel and there wasn’t really anyone that played the same in the Presequel.

    Also, god damn I hated that oxygen mechanic where I was always running around trying to find air. I don’t need that kind of anxiety in my space shooters!

    Stan & Ollie

    stan ollie postr 1 692x1024 Stan & Ollie

    The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the legendary movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.

    With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the pair’s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

    Books added to the Physical Collection

    As I strive to own every Star Trek book printed, a kind soul on the opposite side of the country found a treasure trove of Trek books and offered to send them from California to Florida, and a month later I finally got them all out to inventory the latest books to the collection:

    Two of these:2018 08 20 13.31.50b 300x169 Books added to the Physical Collection

    Resulted in one of these: 2018 09 12 21.35.33 300x169 Books added to the Physical Collection

    The books are in great condition and I’m eternally grateful they made their way to me.

    They Shall Not Grow Old

    onesheet 682x1024 They Shall Not Grow OldOn the centenary of the end of First World War, Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) presents the World Premiere of an extraordinary new work showing the Great War as you have never seen it.

    This unique film brings into high definition the human face of the First World War as part of a special London Film Festival presentation alongside a live Q&A with director Peter Jackson hosted by Mark Kermode.

    Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage which is more than a 100-years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. Driven by a personal interest in the First World War, Jackson set out to bring to life the day-to-day experience of its soldiers. After months immersed in the BBC and Imperial War Museums’ archives, narratives and strategies on how to tell this story began to emerge for Jackson. Using the voices of the men involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line; their attitudes to the conflict; how they ate; slept and formed friendships, as well what their lives were like away from the trenches during their periods of downtime.

    Jackson and his team have used cutting edge techniques to make the images of a hundred years ago appear as if they were shot yesterday. The transformation from black and white footage to colourised footage can be seen throughout the film revealing never before seen details. Reaching into the mists of time, Jackson aims to give these men voices, investigate the hopes and fears of the veterans, the humility and humanity that represented a generation changed forever by a global war.

    The film can be seen in both 2D and 3D in selected cinemas. Check your local listing for full details.

    Co-commissioned by 14-18 NOW and Imperial War Museums in association with the BBC. Produced by WingNut Films and Executive Produced by House Productions. Special thanks to Matthew & Sian Westerman with additional support from The Taylor Family Foundation, The Moondance Foundation, Welsh Government, Scottish Government, British Council, Tim Bunting, Jacqueline & Richard Worswick and one anonymous donor.

    Next Gen

    th Next Gen

    When lonely Mai forms an unlikely bond with a top-secret robot, they embark on an intense, action-packed adventure to foil the plot of a vicious villain

    Next Gen turned out to be much more fun than I was expecting it to, afterall, Netflix is getting a reputation for having low quality content, but rumor has it they spent about $30 million on this movie, and every penny of it shows. It’s a familiar story in which a kid finds a mcguffin that she misuses for her own ends, then finds out that this mcguffin is more than she thought it was and uses to save the city/planet/galaxy. While it’s familiar, it’s also comforting with some spectacular visuals, an interesting soundtrack, and great VO work by very talented people.

    Check it out, it’s streaming on netflix now.

    Damage Control 1989 I

    1 Damage Control (1989 I) 2 Damage Control (1989 I) 3 Damage Control (1989 I) 4 Damage Control (1989 I)

    Who does the world call on in the wake of super hero disasters? Meet the Clean-Up Op that handles the messes no one else wants to touch! Where there’s property damage…there’s Damage Control! Creator Dwayne McDuffie introduces you to the cast of characters responsible for keeping the Marvel Universe clean. It all starts here!

    My recent adventure at Megacon 2018 netted a few “new to me” comic books, the first mini series for Damage Control was the first purchase. It’s written by Dwayne McDuffie, which was a surprise to me, I didn’t know he was doing work this far back in 1989, though I guess it makes sense, he would have been in his late 20’s then. As always with McDuffie, the stories are fun to read and of the four issues, two of them are related to bigger things going on in the Marvel Universe, so while there’s meta story through the four issues, they’re all still a blast.

    Solo A Star Wars Story

    81YFv7dOM3L. SL1500 Solo: A Star Wars Story

    Through a series of daring escapades, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca in an epic adventure directed by Ron Howard and written by Jonathan & Lawrence Kasdan.

    I still think that this movie is among the best of the Star Wars movies that Disney has released, it’s a shame that they’ve decided to slow down movie production due to the response to both Solo and The Last Jedi. The stench of Episode 8 is killing our hopes for a continuation of that amazing third act reveal, something that I think could have pushed the Star Wars movies further than they’ve gone in the past. Guess we’re going to just end up with more “safe” movies that are essentially remakes of the original trilogy.

    The 4k/HDR and special features on the disk were great, especially the deleted scenes. I’m shocked that there’s no behind the scenes content with the original directors (Phil Lord and Chris Miller), but this is likely due to Disney not wanting to muddy the waters too much and confuse the casual fans.

    The state grand jury report on child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church details a child porn ring in the Diocese of Pittsburgh

    We can only hope that they go for the death penalty in these cases, then shut down the organizations that have been found to be harboring such people.
