This Is Not Your Daddy's Black Adam - Originality Be Damned
Black Adam is not a bad film; it is entertaining and interesting. Black Adam is also not a DC Universe game changer; it is not original in any way. The film Black Adam has a storyline we have seen too many times; there are way too many settings that are ripped directly from other DCU\MCU films. You should consider this production of Black Adam as a one-off; a dream of Dwayne Johnson that was finally cobbled together into reality, but expect the future iterations of Black Adam as well as the DCU to be portrayed completely different. Black Adam is worthy of a visit to the theater, during 'cheap ticket night' of course, but don't invest too much interest in this iteration of Teth-Adam.

The Russo Brothers Continue Delivering Schlock Since Avengers
$200 million for a 3 out of 5 rated film that drew only $249,462 at the box office before streaming. Yeah, I think the Russo brothers once again blow smoke up our **** trying to deliver another non-superhero blockbuster. The Gray Man is formula film on steroids, complete with unrealistic action without the need of computer-generated everything, dialogue that is no where near real world interactive speech and Chris Evans who looks like Hitler during his barbershop quartet days. I can count on my watch the minutes left before Disney sends over the acquisition papers to Netflix. You will watch The Gray Man when you have watched all others available and you're tired of watching reruns.

1st time Director wanted 60% factual, created 100% doubtful
Silverton Siege is based upon a real life siege in South Africa 1980. As depicted in the film, the three antagonists enter the bank and take hostages - This now ends our 60% factual commitment from the Director. The events of the actual Silverton Siege are very violent and disturbing, and I'll let you all look up the details. Overall this film, Silverton Siege, tells of events in 1 hour 40 minutes in what should have taken 20 minutes to capture - the rest of the film is to exponate and exaggerate only a very small portion of actual events.

You Know What's Coming, But You Hang Around Anyway
All the Old Knives is a film you watch when you're scrolling through the channels and nothing is on. The R-rating is strictly for the sex scenes, which were unnecessary, because this film calls upon the viewer's imagination with many plot elements implied so spelling out those scenes in detail is contradictory to the approach of telling the story. The screenplay and novel author Olen Steinhauer is also responsible for the fantastic series Berlin Station and if the author had more time and money to produce a longer film(maybe 3 more hours) All the Old Knives might have been a better production. All the Old Knives is average, middle of the road, meh, but.....if you truly want a better experience, pay strict close attention to all the characters and the small elements that are introduced throughout the film - which are many.

HOLY WD-40, PENGUIN! WAIT - YOU'RE NOT THE BEAVER!
Let's get this out of the way - there is a unique graphical presence that makes The Guardians of Justice sometimes fun to watch. OK...man, this is garbage. I have seen better fanboy productions, complete with better writing. Every episode is throwing so much background data at the screen, the screen constantly flashing and the setting always in constant motion that there should be an epileptic seizure warning prior to each episode. The Guardians of Justice is like watching multiple seasons of an anthology series with episodes laid one on top of another. There is zero originality, zero craftmanship, z.e.r.o. value in every episode. I would find more entertainment in NETFLIX just displaying a pile of burning money that each episode would have cost. You keep experimenting NETFLIX, and eventually that spaghetti will stick to the wall.

JERICHO Is The EMMYS 2020 Award Winning Episode
This is the episode that encapsulates the series SERVANT - full of mystique and revelation and discovery. What is so fascinating about JERICHO is that while there are horrors displayed, what is obvious is left to the imagination. Cringe worthy moments have been the calling card of the series SERVANT, and the episode JERICHO represents all those moments - obvious and implied. JERICHO is finally the episode of SERVANT that I can finally say 'This Is Why I Watch'.

An Incredible Film That Deserves Much Praise
What a fantastic ensemble! All the major players
deserve Supporting Actor\Actress Nominations and
at least of them should tie for the win. I liked
the mixture of real-time video with the dramatization,
and only wished there were percentages more within.
If you are not familiar with Meg Kelly, and listened
and\or saw her on television at a glance, you will
almost believe that Charlize Theron is Megyn Kelly.
Kate McKinnon deserves a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star
for her performance. I have waited 2 years for this
film and Bombshell did not disappoint.
