Succession Season 1 Episode 3

-


   The bombshell of the three billion dollar loan hanging over Kendall's head takes the center stage for this episode. The question was will their stock go under 130, If it does they will owe the bank the three point five billion in full. Kendall first tries to negotiate the companies way out of this, which proved that he could not communicate very well. So he has to go and get his "friend's" company to get the money and offer them a bunch of company perks.
 The other half of the episode centers around Shiv's  (Sarah Snook) war with her step mother over the ability to see Logan. She goes as far as get a background check to see whether or not she was just after the families money. By the time Shiv was able to see her father, let's just say it did not go as planned.
  The absolute biggest issue is  Gregg's ( Nicholaus Braun) storyline. For the first three episodes, his existence in this series has been close to pointless. I am not saying that, I hate the actor or anything I just would love to see his story pick up.
     The story is developing with great potential, if you can fix a certain story line.

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 that they have done. This

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 doesn't quite have. GRADE:C
