David McK (3854 KP) rated Alien: Romulus (2024) in Movies
Aug 17, 2024 (Updated Aug 17, 2024)
So between the two best entries in the franchise, in other words.
I found it also heavily dependant upon those movies, with several call-backs and references made to those (and even to the much-maligned 'Alien; Resurrection' and to 'Prometheus'); almost a case of 'pick the best bits and mash them together' in several parts.
Enjoyable enough, yes, but - to me - it doesn't reach the heights of the earlier entries.

May 4, 2024 (Updated May 4, 2024)
I've never played it.
It does seem to be a strange choice for an action-adventure comedy series, but I actually found this to work quite well, largely based in the chemistry of the co-leads (Mackie as the 'milkman' John Doe, hired to deliver a package cross country and encountering Beatriz's Quiet along the way) and the antagonist played by Thomas Haden-Church.
Oh, and never forgetting the murderous clown Sweet Tooth who steals pretty much every scene he is in ...

David McK (3854 KP) rated Fight Club (1999) in Movies
Feb 26, 2024
That's virtually all my beforehand knowledge of this movie, which it's only taken me (roughly) 25 years to get around to watching.
And I wish I hadn't bothered: that's slightly over 2 hours of my life (that felt like 25+ years) that I'll never get back again ...
Bleak, depressing, and with an incredibly obvious 'twist' telegraphed virtually from the get-go, I found little to recommend in this, and even less to enjoy.
One to avoid.
(And at least I can now say I've seen it ...)
David McK (3854 KP) rated Tomb Raider: the Legend of Lara Croft Season 2 in TV
Feb 15, 2026 (Updated Feb 15, 2026)
This time around, Lara and her crew find themselves caught up and facing down what amounts to an eco-terrorist; a villain who wants to remake the world to restore what they see as the out-of-whack balance between mankind and nature (think Poison Ivy from Batman).
Animation may be nice, but I've always found it's more enjoyable actually playing these games than watching ...
