   Onto the third chapter of season 2, where do you go? Well, to a place they had yet to go, outside of west world. Leaving west world was teased in the premiere episode, with the dead tiger in west world.
  The episode opens with park six known as "the raj". It gives us the pretext as to how the tiger ended up in the shores of west world. It is a nice tease as to what possibly could happen in outside worlds. After this, the focus of the episode, goes to where is Peter Abernathy? Abernathy has been captured by rogue hosts, when Bernard (Jeff Wright) and  Hale (Tessa Thompson) come across him. To try to get him free they trick the kidnappers and get Abernathy out. Hale screams "help me" and draws one of them out. He is knocked out by Bernard and reprogramed. The host goes back and kills most of the other hosts, allowing Abernathy to escape. This lasts only for a moment, because Abernathy is experiencing serious malfunctions and is recaptured along with Bernard, and brought to Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood).  This all occurs while Dolores is making her first major push against the humans trying to reclaim the park.
  There are two big things to come out of this. One obviously, being what seems to be the crossing boarders. The possibilities of what could come from the west being mixed with the samurais. My second thing was the reunion of Dolores and her father. This humanizes Dolores for the first time since last season. The possibility that this episode brings is what elevates this episode.
GRADE: B

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...
