Westworld Season 2 Episode 10

-


     We have made it to the end of the season! Everyone is ready to gather on the forge.
     The episode starts out with the meeting up of Dolores and and Bernard to go into the forge. They come to find out that the forge not only contains the "conciseness" of all pat park visitors. It also contains an oasis for the consciousness of all of the hosts. They can live there "uninterrupted" from humans. Honestly to go beyond this in explaining it gets very tough to do. Do not get me wrong, my lack of explaining is not speaking to the lack of quality. There is just a lot of time jumping. 
    After watching this season, and especially this episode the performances of both Evan Rachel Wood and Jeff Wright both deserve Emmy nominations. They both give performances that was even better than there season one performances.
    One thing that was funny was the fifty endings this episode had. It almost felt like I was back in the theater watching "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King".  You think the movie is going to be over for a good forty minutes. Point being yes, they were trying to tie up all of the loose ends, or most of them. It just felt very dragged out towards the end.
 Something that kid of threw me for a loop was the end credit scene. To me the episode seemed like more of a series finale in some sense. Not that it is a bad that you want to put a thread in to the next season, it just seemed to tagged on.
    While not the greatest episode of the season it was still fun. and  thought provoking.
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...
