i never got past the first screen of the first game. that dragon fire thing.
Witcher 3 is much, much better than the first game. The game engine and gameplay are extremely clunky in the first game. I have started it a couple of times and quit out within a few hours each time. I would highly recommend Witcher 3 though, have finished it twice.

As for the TV episodes, havent watched any of them yet, but I just cannot imagine Henry Cavill as the Witcher. He has been horrible in every movie I have watched him in.

i will consider it.

Social Media in general are quite happy with Cavill, at least the way he looks. Many a woman has reported cases of exploding ovaries.

I'm 4 episodes into The Witcher show, and and outside of having to crank the volume way up to understand what he is saying due to the super "Christian Bale Batman voice" thing, I think he fits the role pretty well.

I definitely need subtitles for this one, if for no other reason than to understand the various names and places they're talking about.

Frontier is a show I also need them for.

Cavill does really well.

Star Wars: RoS 8/10

Sure there are plot holes and things can be ripped apart. You could say the same for any movie in the SW Universe - not to mention any movie franchise that has been around for 40+ years, had 11 movies, a mountain of TV episodes and countless discussions, has been analyzed a million times from every angle etc etc. I've seen RoS twice now and I walked out each time entirely happy and fully entertained. It was good from start to finish and only one part really gnaws at me -
that damned kiss at the end

All in all I would put it at my 4th favorite out of the 9 Skywalker Saga movies, and it is in a tight race for 3rd with RotJ, but nostalgia wins that argument.

People are just hating on it because that's easy to do after TLJ. But if you go into it with an open mind and a realization that no franchise this long and this huge could ever be done "cleanly" in the end, you might just come up enjoying it.

Seriously? Maybe a 4 because some of the scenes are pretty.

Man in the Highcastle, Season 4 (final season): 8.5/10

-.5 points for the pointless Robert Childan (antiques shop owner) side story to goto Japan
-.5 points for the WTF from left field ending!!!
-.5 points for the fate of Chief Inspector Kido. (seemed so forced and contrived)

Escape from New York(8/10) - Best escape movie ever. Great soundtrack.

They need to make an escape from America next.

Just saw Uncut Gems, the recently released Adam Sandler movie. Critics seem to love it, but definitely not my cup of tea. Pacing is hectic (to the point of being difficult to follow), lots of violence and profanity, which doesnt really bother me, but the movie just seemed pointless, and the characters were under developed. Reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino movie, but without the memorable characters or a meaningful plot. I would rate it 7/10 at best.

I agree.

I have two more episodes to go until finishing the first season, and outside of Stranger Things, this show has been my favorite series I've watched on Netflix. The special effects, casting, and plot (while confusing at times because of the timeline jumping around) has been excellent.

Plus, every time Cavill does that deep grunt sound (which is pretty often), it makes me laugh because it reminds me of Karl in 'Sling Blade'.

i just watched the first two episodes of Good Omens - that Neil Gaiman TV show with David Tennant and also with that-guy-who-isnt-David-Tennant. And it's pretty good, the show isn't as centered o Tennant as Doctor Who was so obviously it's not as good as, but it's still pretty good, given the good dialogue, good photography, nice sets, and fairly brisk pacing. The rest needs to be seen. I would give it a solid 7/10

I agree, this is one of my favorite series that Netflix has put together. Cavill really is great as Geralt. ..I particularly enjoy the moments when he fucks things up after a terrible decision sinks in, lol.

I enjoyed this show, too. My main takeaway from it is that I really want one of those Bentleys to drive around.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is the kind of movie that basically sucks but people hail as being a cinematic achievement because it sucks in a very particular way.
I watched it once and I will never watch it again. Much like both Kill Bills and Deathproof.
Aww. You suck.
