   Now that we have officially started how will all of the story lines weave together to make the one giant story. To me it seems like they are really trying to expand their story.
   This episode was huge in many ways when it came to the creation of Westworld.  From season one we find out that the man in black (Ed Harris) is a major investor in the park. We get a flashback this episode that gives a reason why the park was saved. It was explained that companies spend so much money trying to figure out what it is people want. With the park people will tell you on its own. This adds to the massive bomb dropped in the first episode with the park collecting info on the park and putting it in the head of a host that was supposed to be unused. So what happens if that falls in the wrong hands because no one knows where it is.
      The other thing I found very interesting and left me full of intrigue was the whole thing about the Valley.  Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) is tracking across west world to become free. We come to find out she wants to use the Valley for her freedom. On the other side the man in black is trying to complete one last game created by Ford. He is tracking to the valley to destroy the park.
     This to me is setting up for one huge season. They set some ground footing in the first season and expanding the story it working so far this season.

Unfriended: Dark Web

    I would be the first to admit, when the original "Unfriended" dropped in 2014, I was not expecting to enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. I always thought though, there is no need to make a sequel. Alas.. we fast forward to 2018, and there is a sequel.     The story revolves around Matias, who finds a great laptop, in his local internet cafe's lost and found. Since it has been there for weeks, he takes it. Later that night, while playing a game night over Skype, he begins to discover some terrible things.    One of the problems that plagued both of the films was the acting. In most of these cases, the actors from these films, do not have a lot of experience. It unfortunately, caries over to this film. When the story got to the climax, the line delivery got a little rough.    What really worked for the first one, was essentially, everyone was a terrible person. As the story progresses, you find out the terrible things t...

Triple 9

     When it comes to cop films, for the most part, I tend to be a huge fan. When this came out, I was not very sure what to expect from it because there was such little press for it.     A professional group of thieves lead by Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) does the biding of Irina Vlaslov ( Kate Winslet). The guys want out of her buiding, but her being a big player in the Russian mafia, she gets what she wants. She drags the crew into a final heist with a huge payoff, what could possibly go wrong?        The biggest thing that hurt this film was the scope was so huge for this film with how many characters it has. It is hard to care or, for that matter get to know any Of the characters when the time spent with them is so short. On top of that, this film does not go in any new directions for the crime thrillers. I feel like if they may have added twenty to thirty minutes to get to know all the characters it may have added an edge it do...

The Ridiculous Six

   The Ridiculous Six is the start of the long contract that Adam Sandler signed with Netflix. It comes in the form of the spoof of the classic Magnificent 7.      In the story it surrounds White Knife (Adam Sandler) and his seemingly perfect life with the apache tribe. Things get a little messy when his long absent father (Nick Nolte) shows up and is subsequently kidnapped. Fifty thousand dollars is needed to set him free, so White Knife takes it upon himself to rob the terrible people of the West to get his father back. Along the way he finds out that he has many other brothers in the shape of Taylor Lautner, Terry Crews, Rob Schneider, Jorge Garcia, and Luke Wilson.      Through most of the later of Sandler's Carter you could at least count on his movies being entertaining. This film seemed choppy in places when it came to the story. None of the jokes seemed to really work. It's hard to say but Sandler has done so much better even in recent...
