I watched this. I thought it was good but maybe not as good as the first one so watching the original again is on my list to compare.

I'll watch anything with Chris Hemsworth simply because he tops my hottest actor on the planet list!

For the last week, I have been watching remade The Outer Limits on Amazon. I had no idea there were 7 seasons. I'm currently on episode 6 of the final season and have been impressed at some of the practical effects and big budget sets in some of the episodes.

Looking forward to M3gan on Prime Video June 27th.

I didn't know that was coming. I would like to see that one.

I have been scrolling past "Extraction", maybe I will give it a try.

It won't be tonight. Just got called out to the streets. It sounds like it is going to be one of those cases that is going to keep me tied up until very late tonight.

Good night ya'll.

I finished watching INVASION (2021 Apple TV+ series; IMDB) and overall thought it was above average. Just don't set your expectations on the typical sci-fi alien invader movies like Independence Day. It's not anything like the former films.

Earth is visited by an alien species that threatens humanity's existence; events unfold in real time through the eyes of five ordinary diverse people across the globe as they struggle to make sense of the chaos unraveling around them. It starts off slow, globe-trots around, lingers on human trauma with alot of character development going on and gradually builds up the suspense, but is mainly focused on the 5 people (one is a Navy SEAL) through emotional ambitions & moral choices vice aliens. If you make it to episode 5 you'll likely watch the rest.  From a terrifying scene in a secluded house, where a family tries to sneak away from one of the spiked blob creatures, a haunting artificial voice, a mysterious alien-killing weapon, a kid with seizures that may or may not show the future, but the biggest reveal of all doesn’t even happen until the very last shot in the final episode...10 episodes of setup. The show fully embraces how humanity is its own mystery, something we need to work on more before we even start worrying about whether or not we’re alone.

Luckily, Season 2 to premiere on August 23, 2023.

Off to watch the final episode of SILO (2023) which I'd rate about an 8. Good show.

Special Ops: Lioness (2023 series)

From creator Taylor Sheridan known for 'Sicario' (2015), 'Hell or high water' (2016) and 'Yellowstone' (2018-23).

Inspired by an actual CIA/military program, an initiative that embeds undercover agents with high-value terrorism targets, forming relationships with suspected leaders’ wives, girlfriends and female family members to gather intelligence. Series follows the life of Joe (Zoe Saldaña) while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA's spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Michael Kelly), enlists an aggressive badass lone wolf Marine Raider named Cruz (De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA's efforts to thwart the next 9/11. 

First episode opens with a A-10 Thunderbolt going BRRRrrrr. Glorifies USA war-mongering around the world, but what's new. The show is an unabashed work of military propaganda that positions the US Armed Forces as the "strong" who "protect the weak," a group that apparently includes the entire Middle East as well as vulnerable members of U.S. society. I'm 3 episodes in and enjoying it so far.





I think Laysla De Oliveira would be a perfect fit in a new Lara Croft adaptation.
