Here's the movie trailer.

I'm boycotting Hollywood for all the anti-Trump talk.

Blade Runner 2049

I saw the original in 1982.
Really liked it, so I will be watching this one too.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

A sequel to the 2014 movie Kingsman: The Secret Service


I really liked the first one.
Action packed to the hilt!
Like James Bond on steroids.

The Kingsman are a British ultra secret organization.
In this movie, they meet the American version called The Statesman.

I've seen Spider-Man Homecoming twice already. First was the Thursday premiere, on July 6th. They didn't offer 3D that time. Second was with my best friend who had yet to see it this past Sunday. Only 3D option available that time was IMAX 3D. Another friend wants to see it this week. He also wants to see Wonder Woman. I don't think I have the money. But I do want to see them again.

My initial thoughts on Spider-Man Homecoming

 

[Tambora]

Alien Covenant


Hmmm.
Not a bad movie. but .....

If you don't know the story and have seen the other alien moves along with Prometheus, it will be a disjointed plot to you.
It is a sequel to Prometheus, but it is a prequel to the other 4 alien movies.
Prometheus would be the first, chronologically.
Then Alien Covenant.
Then the Alien moves (1-4).

While it has the same atmospheric feel as the other Alien movies, it does not have the terror the others did.
There really isn't any surprise attack from the alien creature.
Maybe a little, but not much.

This movie seemed to be more psychological than terrifying.

The main character in this movie is the android, David, who was left stranded with Dr. Shaw (female) at the end of Prometheus.

My summary of the movie is that David the android started experimenting with the black goo that manipulated DNA, trying to come up with his idea of a perfect creature.
The movie lead me to believe that David is the one that created the Alien creature.

David was created special.
His prototype was not continued because he turned out to be too 'human' like for comfort.
Some of his programming was restricted from being used again.

David finds it odd that his god (his creator), a mere mortal man, was weaker than him.
David would never die.
Why should he serve man, that just has to keep being replenished with other.
He begins to see himself as more of a god than humans are.
But he cannot reproductively create life, so he experiments on lifeforms through the black goo manipulation to form his own creation.
The implication in the movie is that he started this by using the body of Dr. Shaw, and that she was forced to birth a few of these creatures,perfecting each one above the last.

The moral of the story, if I am reading it right, is that man created artificial intelligence (David the android), and it was this creation of man that would destroy man.
Aliens don't eat the non-living non-biological like androids.
The Alien creatures are biological and need biological life to sustain it's own.
The Alien creature not only eats and gestates inside humans, but also the 'Engineers' (the Promethean Titans that spawned man).
So not only does David become a godlike being, but he wants to destroy those that were considered 'gods' before him ----- being both man and those 'Engineers' that spawned man.
But who spawned the Engineers?

This movie only hints at several questions asked, but never confirms much at all.
Makes the movie more of a teaser than anything else.
A set up to make it necessary for more movies to tie it all together.

I didn't know this was out now.
Has it already been shown in theaters?

Once again, a story ignoring the real Creator, and locking the minds of the masses to nihilistic pointless existence.

However, I do enjoy watching but, I'm glad I know the real story.

What? No Noomi Rapace? Drat!

It's in the theater here.

That it does.
There are sublime religious overtones in these movies that will remind a fluent bible student of certain things.

This series seems to be more in line with the Annunaki theories going around, and a little Nephlim thrown in.
Dr. Shaw (in Prometheus) even referred to the Engineers as dark angels.

However, I do enjoy watching but, I'm glad I know the real story.

Yeah, as sci-fy fiction goes, it's pretty entertaining.
And terrifying monsters are always a thrill!


BTW, this movie does answer the question of how the Alien creatures ended up on the planet Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) first encountered it. (which is a different planet than David and Dr. Shaw were stranded on.)
Can thank David the android for that!!!!
But you'll have to watch the movie to find out how he managed that.

What? No Noomi Rapace? Drat!

Here's one coming out with her:

Noomi did such a good job in Prometheus and I so looked forward to the continuing story.


The other actor I liked was Indris Elba.

The robot David was repulsive, to me.

The 'story' of her continues in Alien Covenant.
But you don't get to see her in this movie except for flashbacks. that David tells about.

The David robot was a big part of both Prometheus and Alien Covenant.
And, spoiler, he's still kicking and is safe and sound at the end of Alien Covenant.
But there is no mention of him in the 4 Alien movies.
So, we don't know where he has been, or where he ended up, or if he was destroryed, or if he will show up again in later movies.
One of the unanswered questions in the series is "What happened to David?"
Just seems kinda odd that he would be so prominent in the beginning, and then ..... nothing, no word of what happened to him.

HAHA!
This looks funny!

Season 5 of the TV series Ray Donovan has started.
Episode 1 has a shocker in it.

 

[Tambora]

TV series.
The Sinner

Jessica Biel stars as a wife and mother (Cora).
She, her husband, and daughter are at the beach.
Another couple is close to them.
Cora gets up and walks to them, grabs a knife, and stabs the man 5 times.
Then she turns to the woman with him and says, "Now you are safe".

She is arrested.
She knows she did it (ie. it wasn't due to some blackout of her), but cannot explain why she did it, and claims she did not even know the man.
She appears disoriented, confused, and frightened of what she did.

A detective, played by Bill Pulman (Harry), is determined to get to the bottom of her psyche as to why she did it.


This next part may contain a spoiler, although there are only 3 episodes so far, so it's not much of a spoiler.
Read on if you wish.

Harry continues to question her, and is surprised that she has no interest in defending herself in court, and has no interest in the cops trying to figure out WHY she did it.
But Harry is determined to find out WHY, because he smells something fishy about the whole matter, and want Cora to plead temporary insanity.

When Harry (the detective) finds out that she did know the man and confronts her with it, her continence changes from the frail confused state to an "in control" person.
She looks up at Harry with a determined glare and says, "I knew him, and I wanted him dead".
He plays a recording of the event when she stabbed the man.
There is a song playing on the portable radio beside the couple (of the man she stabbed).
Cora starts getting fidgety, and then suddenly leaps upon Harry to attack him with her fists in the interrogation room.

On reviewing that instant from the video recording of her interrogation with Harry, Harry notices that she punches him with her fist 5 times in exactly the same body areas and in the exact sequence that she stabbed the man.
He thinks the song may have something to do with her reactions, so he keeps digging into her past.

It's one of those shows that makes you wonder ----- What's really going on here?
It's not a "who done it?" because you already know who did it.
You just don't know why.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Clever the way the writers set up the warm fuzzy ending for the Guardians, now a family, so when Thanos slaughters half of them it will stun the audience that much more.
