July 30Jul 30 Bosch series is tremendous. I love the books and the series truly brought it to life. The Ballard and Lincoln Lawyer series are also very well done. Michael Connelly is very involved in the production of his books, and it shows.
July 31Jul 31 There is a new War of the Worlds movie up on Prime, with Eva Longoria. I checked Rotten Tomatoes, and there is no listing for it. Which I can't imagine is a great sign.
August 3Aug 3 Wild Bill is a very well acted, cast, written and directed. Has a very atypical arc and a moving, unique take on an otherwise pretty common excon plot. Really enjoyed it.

I really liked Ballard it just didn't resonate for me like Bosch. Likely in part due to a female lead rather than male, but I found some of the subplots/twists extremely predictable. I should note, I do love Maggie Q in the roll and the bulk of my issues weren't with her nor her performance. Spoiler I do wish they had advanced the development of Rawls earlier in episodes. They made him too annoying early and "switched" him too fast. I get how they were using him as a minor heel plot device and the change for the twist death. I just think the writing could scaled back his heel and made the "switch" a longer progress. They could have taken that time from the predictable Martina one.
August 5Aug 5 I'm just gonna drop this here because he's correct. War of the World's is horrific on so many levels.

As @Buzzrock said, it won't fall into the so bad it's good world either. No gratuitous T&A, not shoe string budget, no gore for gore sake, no goofy acting and no quirky editing. Shit script, shit CGI, shit acting, shit directing and shit plot.

September 4Sep 4 Big news for Alan Ritchson as his latest movie Motor City makes its North American premiere at TIFF tonight following its world premiere at Venice: The Reacher star will lead Patrick Hughes‘ untitled Amazon MGM Studios movie about NAVY Seal Mike Thornton. The film falls under Ritchson’s three-picture acting deal with the studio. The latest Mike Thornton project reps a reunion for the Range-repped Ritchson and Hughes who recently completed Netflix’s feature sci-fi adventure War Machine. The film will follow NAVY Seal Mike Thornton during the final days of the Vietnam War as he leads a desperate last stand after five men are trapped behind enemy lines in North Vietnam. Outnumbered by an army of 150 soldiers, they fight through relentless enemy fire before making a harrowing retreat into the South China Sea. With both a gravely wounded lieutenant and fellow soldier tied to him, Thornton swims for hours through hostile waters to reach safety, an act of valor that earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor. https://deadline.com/2025/09/alan-ritchson-mike-thornton-movie-amazon-mgm-studios-1236507275/

I keep waiting for Nina Meyers to go double agent (like she did in 24). Completed the series and the Legacy seasons. Lost some steam the last season but was still enjoyable. Overall it was a really enjoyable series filled with some great characters.

Even when they showed more obscure sports or when nothing would match the intensity of the intro, it was still great. Made by people who really cared about sports. Loved American Sportsman as well.
September 25Sep 25 Elkhorn is nice B western series. The acting and cinematography leaves a lot to be desired, but it is still entertaining. It is about Teddy Roosevelt's early years as a cowboy. Go into it expecting cheese and you will enjoy it. Go into it expecting Deadwood and you will be wondering WTF?
September 25Sep 25 I don't know when it came out but I saw something that looked interesting last night and watched a couple of episodes of Hotel Costiera. Entertaining enough and the scenery is beautiful (Amalfi Coast). Seems pretty formulaic so far but fun enough. I like it better than that show on Netflix I watched for the Yosemite scenery that ended so dumbly that I don't even remember the name of it. Edited September 26Sep 26 by Baboontyme

I'm just not going to care if it's a Scooby Doo caper that gets solved by the end of every episode.
November 4Nov 4 Popeyes Revenge It sucks. The story board intro is better than what comes after it. That tells me it was a good concept but couldnt get the money to follow through with it. Edited November 4Nov 4 by MissingInAction Y is t

December 3Dec 3 This app is so terrible. Graphics are fuzzed out, recommendations don’t have any connection to what I’ve watched and I love the 5 minutes of commercials before trying to watch a movie on an app THAT I PAY FOR.
