  • My Name Is Vendetta (Netflix)

    For some reason, I started watching this. It wasn’t too bad, but could have a been a lot more suspenseful. Some of the action was pretty good. B-

  • Slow Horses S02E01-2 (Apple TV)

    I sort of devoured season 1 earlier this year. It came as a surprise to see another season up so quickly, at least in my mind. S2 picks off where S1 left off. It’s as good as ever, with more espionage on the table. A

  • Apple’s Stellar Severance S01 In A Corporate World

    Someone recommended Severance to me.

They were mini-series and both had Ian Richardson. The first was Porterhouse Blue and the second was the House of Cards trilogy. In House of Cards, Ian…

  • The Happening

    Wow, that was a terrible movie. Terrible acting, terrible writing, terrible shooting, terrible production… Just plain bad. I’m so surprised that the guy behind Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense and Signs came up with this BS. It could have been a great movie, M. Night Shyamalan just messed it up. 20 minutes in, some crazy guy…

  • Cebu Thriller

    The Cebu Thriller video is an homage to the Michael Jackson Thriller video of 1983. It went viral about a year ago. It’s still entertaining to watch. They have a wiki entry as well. (YouTube)
