     This week I am going to go a different way in how I write my review. I am going to go through all of the episode, make it more of a recap plus review, and see how it comes out.
     This episode brings us back to the man in black (Ed Harris) and Bernard (Jeff Wright).  After the battle that Bernard witnessed with Delores, he is dragged to a cave tied up. Little did he know, it was next to Elsie Hughes (Shannon Woodard), who was chained up in the cave. For those who have forgotten, Elise disappeared about half way through the first season while she was exploring an unused floor are in Westworld. She, at first, was very afraid of Bernard, because he was the one that put her there. They enter a secret lab, to try and fix Bernard and come across Westworld's biggest secret. Westworld is putting the consciousness of humans into the body of the hosts.
   Throughout the episode, it shifts to the Man in black  story. Along with Lawrence (Clifton Collins Jr),  they head back to Lawrence's home town to get the weapons that are hidden there. Come to find out the Confederados that Teddy ( James Marsden) let go, had beat them there. They take the town hostage to demand the weapons for themselves. Man in black tries to use this to his advantage to get the "weapon". Little did he know, the confederados would begin to torture and kill the town. This got him to snap and singlehandedly take them all down.
     The big thing that I like about this season, is the way they are rolling out their plot twists and explanations. I hate how a lot of shows leave it till the very end for any sort of pay off. This seasons reveals seem to be more gratifying.
   To me, this season has pit the man in black as more of an anti hero as compared to last season, with the saving of the town this episode
  What to come is anyone's guess!

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...
