Frontlines Requiem The Graphic Novel review

From acclaimed writer Ivan Brandon (Drifter, Viking), this four-issue comic book series features a new stand-alone story set within the action-packed military sci-fi world of Marko Kloos’s bestselling Frontlines novels. Includes stunning artwork from Gary Erskine (Star Wars, Dan Dare, Doctor Who, Judge Dredd).

I don’t remember buying this, but it was on my Kindle and when I noticed it, it was left on the last page. Amazon says “You borrowed this book for free with your Prime Reading membership on October 5, 2016” but I have no memory of buying nor reading it, so since I just read the most recent Frontlines novel, I figured I’d give this one another go.

I think I know why I don’t remember it, this is a disjointed and uneventful series of four issues that doesn’t so much as end as it just vaguely fades out. Maybe there’s supposed to be a follow up, but this is completely skippable.

The First Purge

Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge. To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.  But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

War For The Planet Of The Apes review

Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his apes are pitted against an army of humans in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species…and the future of the planet.

This reboot of the Planet of the Apes movie series has a weird trend of getting better with each sequel, this is the best of the three that have been released. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was ok but felt like it was trying too hard and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes felt like they were finding the right thread but weren’t able to follow it all the way through correctly. They’re taking a slightly longer cycle to put out each sequel, three years instead of the normal two, and I think that’s helping with the story polish that’s so evident.

War For The Planet Of The Apes isn’t the movie that you see in the trailers, there’s much more plot going on here than I thought they were going to get into with plenty of moral grey areas that everyone goes right up to and ponders the possible fallout of crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

The Assignment review

Michelle Rodriguez is a hit man out for revenge against her former captor and rogue surgeon, Sigourney Weaver, in this action packed thriller from legendary director Walter Hill.

This a bad film, but it’s one of those bad films that’s so terribly thought out and horribly executed and so unaware of itself that it comes around the curve to be a great film to drink and scream outloud to.

Spoilers because idgaf: You see Michelle Rodriguez full frontal nude as both a man with a giant swinging dick and as a woman after a diabolical surgeon turns “him” into a woman without his approval. Rodriguez is justifiably upset about this transition and sets out to find some justice at the end of her 45s. The story means nothing after the first 20 minutes of nudity and questionable career choices and the action is not very great.

What the fuck? Rodriguez is a beautiful woman, even as a man.  They didn’t even bother to butch her up even slightly, just throwing an incredibly ineffective beard on her and a good looking prosthetic man piece.

I’m really not sure how anyone convinced Rodriguez to play the unwilling transgendered hitman and THEN able to convince Sigourney Weaver to play the mobster / evil surgeon. It’s on Amazon Prime right now, so feel free to check it out and get back to me about how you feel.

Loving review

Based on the landmark Supreme Court case, an interracial couple fights the law that they cannot be recognized as married in the state of Virginia.

ACLU to the rescue? Good film but there were parts that felt…off. Not sure if it was acting, directing, or editing related, but there were definitely moments that I was taken out of the movie with the feeling that it was a modern movie that was talking about the time period instead of the actual events themselves.

Wild review

Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk The Line) stars in this extraordinary true story from the director of Dallas Buyers Club and based on the best-selling novel.

This one sat on my ‘to watch’ pile for longer than I can justify, it was a good enough film, but I know that it was going to cover some subjects that weren’t going to help my emotional state of well being. I was right, but I’m happy to have watched the movie.

Ingrid Goes West review

Ingrid Thorburn (Aubrey Plaza) is an unstable young woman with a checkered past of obsessive behavior. She secretly moves to Los Angeles to befriend Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen) — an Instagram “influencer” with a fabulous artist boyfriend, a camera-ready terrier, and an array of new products and brands to promote to her followers. After Ingrid adopts a Taylor-made identity for herself, her attempts to prove she’s BFF material are underway — that is, until she meets Taylor’s obnoxious brother Nicky, who threatens to tear down her façade. Also starring O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ingrid Goes West is a savagely hilarious dark comedy that brilliantly satirizes the modern world of social media and proves that being #perfect isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

A perfect role for Aubrey Plaza, this is the second bit of media that i’ve seen her taking crazy pills in, the first being LEGION. She really does play crazy very well, though it would be great to see her get back to a role like she had in Parks & Rec, I really did love her there.

METH ADDICTION

The Missouri Breaks review

Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson ignite the screen in this rousing story of a wealthy Montana rancher who hires a professional killer to track down a gang of horse thieves.

I honestly didn’t think I was going to watch this today, I was bored and needed something to occupy my mind and turned on broadcast tv and watched this on on the “Charge” Network*, which broadcasts in low rez SD widescreen, but not in HD and chose to show the film in pan & scan. I haven’t seen a movie that was in forever and it was weird. But then I noticed that Marlon Brando was playing a “regulator”, which is what a vigilante was called in ye olde’ west, who was going up against a gang of horse rustlers lead by Jack Nicholson. Ends up it was a good film and I didn’t even think about the weird movie ratio until well after the movie was over.

*Shame about that Sinclair bit, I think I’ve heard they’re the next right wing insanity that’s on the horizon.

Charge! is an American digital broadcast television network that is owned by the Sinclair Television Group subsidiary of the Sinclair Broadcast Group and operated by the MGM Television division of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
