Aquaman Movie Raises All Tides, Expectations, Man Of Steel 2 Dreams & Momoagasms The World Over



Taking Joy out on a New Years date to see the King of the Ocean, Jason Momoa in Aquaman. I love the effects the underwater battles. The usage of lights and colors was amazing. The thing most of all was that it raised the bar and expectations for the better. The chemistry with Momoa along with the rest of the cast was epic. How they justified Black Manta was also inspiring. I think it will make DC really consider using more superheroes and villain of color. This was a good time to the movies, one that deserves a lot of recognition and the hope that it forces Warners hand on making Man of Steel 2 with Henry.

At this point there are a lot of ladies who are Jason Momoa fanatics taking their kids to see Aquaman, more for themselves than anything else. "Sure son, lets see it again and again". Multiple Momoagasms.

This film should easily hit a BILLION

Worst Movies Of 2018 I Never Watched


2018 has been hit with a lot of reviews of what people call the "worst of the worst". I decided to take a different approach. When I go to a movie I'm hoping to be entertained. If I think I will not enjoy it, I usually do not waste my time. So there are a ton of films that came out in year of 2018 that simply passed on and have not regretted it. I saved a lot of time and money focusing on not watching something I know I won't enjoy. I'm not a fan of self destruction of my brain.

This then came becoming a list of movies that I did not see that to the ones who did suffer through became the worst films of the year. So I also went back and looked up their box office results to list them in the order of their floppiness.

Movie (Domestic Gross and Foreign Gross)















Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom - $416,769,345 | $888,174,715














Wrinkle In Time - $100,478,608 | $32,197,256

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - $54,509,683 | $115,342,993















The Predator - $51,024,708 | $109,517,426

I Feel Pretty - $48,795,601 | $45,743,825














Red Sparrow - $46,874,505 | $104,698,129


First Man - $44,891,255 | $55,369,863















Sherlock Gnomes - $43,242,871| $47,102,215














Robin Hood - $30,632,819 | $42,740,595


Mile 22 - $36,108,758 | $30,200,000















Winchester -$25,091,816

The Strangers Prey at Night - $24,586,708
Sorry To Bother You - $17,493,096

The girl in the spider's web - $14,841,338


Mortal Engines - $14,695,905 | $47,900,000
Action Point - $5,059,608

The Cloverfield Paradox - n/a


There is a chance for some of these films. Of course I will eventually see Jurassic World FK and Sparrow interest me but for the most part this list is a all out pass for me.

2036 Origins Unknown Review & Comments




I watched Collider with Kristian Harloff interviewing Katie Sackhoff talking about their time as a couple, now as friends. When I saw her on the trailer of Origin Unknown that was the first thing that hit me was, I still haven't finished that interview.

After watching the Terminator, the one thing that hits me is that old saying, "There's no fate, but what we make". I bring that up because this movie made me think about artificial intelligence and the rise of the machines.

2036 Origin Unknown/Film synopsis

Following a deadly crash on Mars, Mackenzie Wilson launches a mission find out what went wrong. But when her ship's artificial intelligence takes control, they discover a sinister object on the surface of the red planet.

This movie makes us ask that question, do we put too much faith in these machine. Think about, if we make contact with beings from outer space, unless we're dealing with immortals we're not going to meet the actual beings we're going to meet their drones or probes or satellites. They will send their machines, as we do. We always send off the remote control car before the man. so is the next step of human evolution whatever we give to our machines?

So downloading everything that is human into a sentient machine. Is that the next level. This subject is still theorized and talked about. Is AI the enemy, are they our savior's or the cause of our deaths, this movie says the answer to both questions is Yes. This is the way for humans to live forever. The only way we'll meet other beings in the universe. Destroy the planet to save the planet. The destruction of ourselves to save our saves.

I was expecting this movie to show the alien, but they never do.  This movie made me think of Contact staring Jodi Foster as well. Alien was a no show, cop out. I give it up to Arrival, at least they had the guts. Then this movie does the same thing, saying that machines and humans are the same things "What Is Alive" all this stuff comes from the same universe. We're always putting ourselves inside of and merging with machines.

This movie kept me so clueless, I felt like it was time jumping as if it was a simulations. . This movie came out in June and I'm just now getting around it. and I'm getting a lot of comments from people who are really split on this movie. Already over 700 views and 20 comments. I'll share them with you and let you keep the conversation going.

More Spoilers by the way

BTW for answers - Mac died and ARTE recreated her for the purpose of traveling to unknown origin to meet the alien species that sent the Cube. He not only re created her with android tech . He enhanced her using magnetic pulse Technology from the alien cube . It apparenty took him a long time to re create her as he tells her this. He intimates that he took the best of "human " archetypes to re create her as well . He noticed that her and many others shared his quest for knowledge etc that many others of the species lacked and he clearly used this as a guide .. Therefore in the end the enhanced human that was Mac had all the best qualities of humans without the "fragile" make up and travelled with ARTE the AI to meet those from the galaxy that sent the Hyperlingk Cube. ..A deep plot ,and well acted . The martian shots really covered the bleakness of alien landscapes

Had to find some other other opinions about this movie. I watched about 15 minutes and fell asleep. I then watched another 15 minutes and couldn’t take it anymore. Very dull movie. 😴

Joseph Nichols

I love Katie Sackhoff. She is aging well but this movie was not good. I felt like the movie was originally twice as long, but half of it was left out. I could not really follow what was happening. It was trying to be 2001, but it just did not work out. When it was over, I was thinking, "WTF did I just watch?"




Bob Belson


The movie was great!!! It was too deep for you. Like a 2001 space odyssey movie It will become well liked over time and more popular as well.

Mistakes Every Gamer/Single Parent Makes



I've been playing Xbox Live, mostly COD with my clan for years. Before my 3 kids were born. My oldest is now 8. Ever since me and their mother divorced, I've made the same mistake that I swore I wouldn't. I've tried to game the way I use to do in my early years. Even before the divorce and baby number 2 gaming all night was going out of the window due to increasing responsibilities at work and my body telling me, "You're Not In Your Twenties Anymore". Every now and then one of the guys will scream out the old battle cry. . ."TILL SIX IN THE MORNING". This was a nod to an old R. Kelly song and something we use to do a lot. Ummm, gaming not that other thing he did.

You see, back then, it was nothing. We'd be on a winning streak, 32 rounds won in a row on my birthday is still the current record we've never broken. All hopped up on red bull and twinkies. It became so important we had to have little games within the game to stay on edge. If we won a round, who ever had 20 or more kills we would call that "Twanky" if the 3 or more of us on the squad had reached Twanky kills, we would call that Hostess since we were stocking up like the factory. We then had to eat a twinkie. We later shortened it to Host Twank. That began to become a problem the day we won 32 rounds in a row. There were a lot of sick soldiers that day. But still, we killed noobs till 6 in the morning.

Its now Christmas vacation in 2018 and the new game that we're addicted to is Players Unknown's Battleground or PUBG for short. Its impossible to win that many matches in a row since we're in a lobby with up to 100 players trying to kill you but we love this game. We haven't gone till 6 in the morning in years but 3 in the morning has become the new target. Last night, I made it to the milestone. We had fun. We all also had work in the morning. I am a Real Estate broker, so is another member and one guy works on boats. Even though I did not physically have to go to any homes or meet clients, I was in between a few deals that needed my attention online or on the phone. My fiancee was pulling a double so from 9 in the morning when I attempted to sleep past till 1 in the afternoon I was all alone. Even with her help, I try not to put off my responsibilities. I'm their father and they need to know I'm there for them.

Oh, i forgot to mention, I also do movie reviews and i thought it to be a brilliant idea to finish watching the new movie on Netflix, Bird Box staring Sandra Bullock (who is so damn fine) and record my review on my youtube channel T3Medias (please subscribe). That had me up past 4 a.m.

38 years old, I tried to keep the room as dark as possible so that the kids would still think it night time. First mistakes. My oldest wanted to watch cartoons, I let him. My other two joined him and watched the tv and me sleep. When I know they are all up, my instincts take over and sleep, no matter how tired, is impossible. I'm too much of a paranoid person to let them roam around. Being a single dad is more about staying out of trouble and gloating when your ex messes up. I don't know when I finished breakfast and I felt the pain of bad eating move from my feet to my brain the whole day. The juice was not worth the squeeze at this very moment but when I was in the moment earlier it felt good.

Your ability to give your kids the attention and patience they deserve is limited even more in this state. I constantly had to keep my emotions in check.I just gave love advise to a friend of mine who's dating a single dad who also loves his gaming. She doesn't understand it. From what I could tell, he puts gaming to high up on and too close on the priority board next to his children. That's not good for anyone.

Eat right, stay fight and sleep. When my gamer pals are done for the night we shout out "I'm Calling It" say Good Games and log off. Don't wait till you have a few bad rounds to call it a night, when your body has had enough, you may be able to push through but if you are a single parent or a parent in a marraige about to watch the kids by yourself in the morning, give up the ghost.

But who the hell are we kidding, we both know you're not going to listen. ONE MORE ROUND!




Bird Box Is The Happening Done Right & Blindness (2008) Movie Done Wrong | Short Review



My overall impression of this film was that it reminded me too much of things I've seen before. Blindness and The Happening. I hate it when a build up of what the monster looks like is never fulfilled and overall it just felt like an amalgon of stories told repeatedly before. It's still a decent film and I recommend a view. Don't expect more than what you've seen before. The majority of what I felt about this film is on my youtube channel. Click Above to see my full review.

Plot:
When a mysterious force decimates the population, only one thing is certain -- if you see it, you die. The survivors must now avoid coming face to face with an entity that takes the form of their worst fears. Searching for hope and a new beginning, a woman and her children embark on a dangerous journey through the woods and down a river to find the one place that may offer sanctuary. To make it, they'll have to cover their eyes from the evil that chases them -- and complete the trip blindfolded.

Second Act Movie Review







Representing this blog and my channel on YouTube I was able to attend a press screening of Second Act starring Jennifer Lopez. I went in with no expectations and left having a great time in the movie theater. I legit broke out into laughter a bunch of times, this movie was well written and directed. I appreciated the fact that it was within the vein of a romcom but was breaking the campiness of those types of movies.



I had a great experience with actors such as Leah Remini, Alan Aisenberg and especially Charlyne Yi. This was the glue that made sure this film really worked and worked well. They were the funniest and most interesting characters in the film. The dynamic between Vanessa Hudgens and Jlo was also well received and the overall premise of the film came together very well in the end to lead to a feel good experience.



I recommend seeing it and hope you will enjoy this movie.

How does Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse compare to the other movies


I had a real good time with this movie and can I believe how well together it was place before me. I was lost in this universe and kept on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end. The one and only Spider-Man, play by Jake Johnson, who came to the Miles Morales, shameik Moore, universe to assist him in his quest on taking the mantle to me was the funniest Spider-Man ever to be portrayed on film. In comparison to Tobey Maguire and all of the other renditions of Spider-Man this by far was the most mature and immature and somehow realistic Spider-Man 2 of ever has spun a web on the big screen.


The dynamic between all of the Spider-Man in this heavily dramatic and colorful world was just as lively as the exaggerated backgrounds and computer effects that were flashing before me. I watch this film in standard-definition but could see a ton of uses of blurry effects in the foreground and background that made me jealous that I did not watch this in 3D. I will have to see this movie again in 3D to see how it compares and if there is a difference stay tuned for an update.


Over all this was one of the best Spider-Man movies I've ever seen and we are living in an age where if you are a Spiderman fan you are having the time of your life with all of the cartoons and films being brought to us by marvel, Disney and Sony pictures. The story itself was very deep and dark and gave honor to the original tell of Peter Parker and his Uncle Ben with the background story of Morales vs his uncle. Difference being that unlike Uncle Ben, the prowler was a complicated villain doing what he needed to do to get by and met his end when he realized cool his nephew really was. This Friday more heavier tone and twist to the origin story of a Spider-Man.
If you're not a Spiderman fan or if you're not a Miles Morales fan to be exact this probably could bring you closer to becoming one. If you were just okay with Morales this will make you a fan. It gave no disrespect to Peter Parker and it clearly told us that Miles Morales lives in a different reality which should hopefully calm down the non-real Fanboys who don't know how comic book universes work that seemed to only have had a problem with Miles Morales because they could not stand the idea of Peter Parker turning into a black guy. Miles Morales is half Puerto Rican half black. That's right if you're Puerto Rican you're probably going to say he's Puerto Rican if you're black you're probably going to say he's black. Where I come from you're all right. He brings a lot to the table on helping kids that look just like him feel like they too can become something like I Spiderman. Spider-Gwen also does this for little girls.

Oh yeah and Nicolas Cage totally crushed Spider-Man noir. I mean when you see what happens with that Rubik's cube you will not forget it.

Spoiler alert stay all the way to the end. I don't know if it's a call to a new movie, a possible sequel, let's just say that you might get a chance to party like it's 2099.


Go check out Spiderman into the spider-verse in my opinion it's the best animation movie that has ever come out in the history of ever in the year 2018. I just saw a wreck it Ralph but I had a blast with this movie. It is clearly the best animation of the year and I for one would put my name in the hat of other nominations maybe not best movie of the year but screenplay, original story, sound, effects, direction. This film screams oscar-worthy. It is the superior animated movie of 2018 and it will be a long time probably before another one does with this one did. Disney is definitely taking notes and kicking themselves for not pushing the envelope the way Sony just did it. The stakes have been raised this is a pure comic book movie even more so than the Avengers probably was. It felt like a comic book brought to life it was a comic book brought to life.
