    The Last Wave review

    41hWsJRdjiL The Last Wave

    Richard Chamberlain stars as Australian lawyer David Burton, who takes on the defense of a group of aborigines accused of killing one of their own. He suspects the victim has been killed for violating a tribal taboo, but the defendants deny any tribal association. Burton, plagued by apocalyptic visions of water, slowly realizes his own involvement with the aborigines…and their prophecies.

    Amazon

    Reminds me in a tangentially interesting way of one of my most favorite movies of all time, The Quiet Earth. Unfortunately The Last Wave suffers from a huge dose of the Magical Native trope. It was a good glance into mid 1980’s Australia and what was concidered normal at the time and was well made, so if you’re in the mood for some heavy “end of the world” type of story with some side of casual racism/mysticism, this is the movie for you.

  • GALAK-Z game review

    Prepare for the bar to be raised on deep-space 2D dog-fighting! GALAK-Z is a modern, A.I. and physics-driven open-world action game, viewed through the lens of the classic 16-bit space shooter. Powered by the next-generation Cyntient AI platform, GALAK-Z puts players in control of anime-inspired spacecraft inhabiting procedurally generated worlds.

    In GALAK-Z both stealth and skill are required to defeat truly intelligent enemies. You will be forced to outsmart enemies that think, react and cooperate like seasoned pilots! Master your ship’s sublimely-honed controls as you blast enemies, unleash missile salvos, and even toss your opponents, mech-style, to their explosive demise.

    Recently added, Arcade Mode lets you replay failed missions any number of times without losing all of your saved progress. Rogue Mode retains GALAK-Z’s original white-knuckle roguelike challenge that harkens back to the 16-bit era of gaming. Rogue mode will always be available if and when you’re looking to test your skill and bravery by putting everything on the line, every mission.

    Players will be forced to outmaneuver, outgun and outsmart enemies that think, react and cooperate like seasoned pilots. Both stealth and skill are required to defeat enemy squads in a brutal game of cat and mouse. Prepare for an enemy that comes alive like never before!

    Exclusive Guest Star: Juan from Guacamelee featured as an enemy unit in the game!
    New The Void DLC w/ endless gameplay and Online Leaderboards and a Daily Challenge
    ARCADE mode with per-Mission checkpoints
    Procedurally-assembled levels
    Physics based combat simulator!
    Advanced enemy A.I for intense dogfights!
    Scripted missions and ‘roguelite’ structure
    Resource-based, progressive weapons system
    Inspired by 70s / 80s anime and arcade shooters

    Part Macross, part Voltron, part twin stick shooter, and an awesome soundtrack. I’ve played a few missions and by golly these sure were fun.

    I think the trailer really speaks for itself, but just in case it didn’t really speak to you, let me tell you: this is a low budget game that has a slightly interesting premise. I didn’t enjoy it.

    The Lobster review

    91MLTE1l1ZL. SY550 The Lobster

    Starring Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Olivia Colman, Ashley Jensen, John C Reilly, Lea Seydoux, Michael Smiley and Ben Whishaw, THE LOBSTER is a darkly funny love story set in a near future where finding love is a matter of life or death…

    According to the rules of The City, single people are arrested and then transferred to The Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods. A desperate Man (Farrell), escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules.

    Amazon

    This was a weird but great film. Wooden acting from everyone all around, but I get the sense that this was intentional and just part of a society that would turn it’s single people into animals if they don’t pick a mate. They never get into the science fiction side of the story, this is more of a character piece that’s making commentary on dating and marriage and what people will do to find someone to be in their lives.
