Andor S2 - I really enjoyed it, it's a solid addition to the series. I find it odd how people are talking up the final episode though, if anything I thought it was anticlimatic in comparison to what preceded it.

There was also some content about Mon Mothma making some final speech when she reached gold team which just didn't seem to happen at all. I understand that Andor was meant to be 5 seasons, the concluding episodes of S2 felt like a rush to tie off only the most necessary ends. There didn't seem to be an end to the Luthen storyline at Yavin either, it seemed like there was internal conflict then there wasn't, it seemed like there was an intention to flesh that out over a few episodes then it had to be cut short when it should have just got cut completely.

Dept. Q - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27995114/reference/

Sco'ish police drama about a policeman that sucks, but then they give him a dead-end job working cold cases, and through a bit of luck, a bit of self-determination, and 90% of the work being done by his much smarter colleague, he actually gets some results.

Sort-of well acted, but with a not-particularly-charismatic actor, a fairly bland protagonist, and far, far too long for the amount of content it has.

5.5/10

After Life - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0838247/reference/

Lazy "horror" that i watched because, according to someone on the internet, "Cristina Ricci is totally naked in it". Which turned out to be not true, she shows maybe a little boob.

Ricci dies because she's driving drunk. She wakes up in the mortuary and Liam Neeson is preparing her for the funeral, and Neeson says "i can speak to the dead" and Ricci is like "nuhu, you're full of shit, im actually alive". This is the "psychological horror" of the film, it wants to leave you with the doubt whether Ricci actually is dead and only Neeson can hear her, or if she is alive and he is some kind of monster. But there never really is any doubt that she is dead.
The film even shoots itself in the foot later by confirming that yep, she totally was dead, because the same thing happens to her boyfriend. And Neeson's character doesn't even have any mysterious reasons that may cause you to distrust him.

It's a very lazy script, just a line or two stretched out to an hour and a half, directed by a nobody, and with Justin Long's stupid face to put the last nail in the coffin.

5.5/10

She is totally naked even in the IMDB gallery of the movie. Just her back side. So you were not told a complete lie.

Netflix documentary:

Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster

8/10

Answers most of the questions.. quite a nice bit of coast guard video regarding what they found on the ocean floor and oceangate video recordings from before the incident.

Recommended

The Bondsman - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28256288/reference/

Really mediocre Amazon show with Kevin Bacon that *wants* to be Preacher, or Constantine, but just doesnt have the material. Or the acting. Or anything else.

Kevin Bacon is a *yawn* bounty hunter in the good ol' south, and then when he dies (and is sent to hell), he is then resurrected with the agreement that he gets to stay on earth, alive, as long as he keeps bounty-hunting demons.

It's really got nothing going for it. No decent characters, or dialogue, or acting, or CGI, or direction, or anything.

5/10

Yeah, you could see that the tensions with Yavin, Saw Gerrera , etc. never got fleshed out. I think they made the ending feel that way so they could lead directly into Rogue One, as well as to provide closure (ex. Kleya seeing the fruits of her life's work in action). I enjoyed Rogue One 10x more watching it post-Andor S2.

What I REALLY want them to do is have K-2SO upload himself along with the Death Star plans & then they create a series of his (mis)adventurous throughout the Star Wars timeline (as he's a robot, can live forever, and pretend to be a regular robot to disguise himself because nobody would ever suspect). He'd be great opposite of Mr. Serious Mandalorian lol. And running into C-3PO & poking fun of him, being snarky friends with R2-D2, etc. would be EPIC lol.

Was going to pass on this one

Deep Cover


It got Orlando Bloom, Bryce Dallas, Nick Mohammed in the leads and .. Well read the IMDB.

Even the setup the first 10-15 minutes of the flick I am like, shit should I just drop it? At 30 minutes I've had two hysterical laughs, this is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen.
And only 30 mins in. Will watch the rest now. Bye.
