David McK (3425 KP) rated Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) in Movies

Jul 31, 2021

OK, I now have a new bar set for complete over the top ridiculousness in this spin off from the Fast and Furious movies (as an aside, I remember when they actually used to be about illegal street racing).

Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham (Hobbs and Shaw respectively) reprise their roles from the later F&F films, here reluctantly teaming up in a plot that also involves Idris Elba's cyborg soldier (who even goes so far as to call himself a Black Superman at one point) and Shaw's sister Hattie, who has been framed for stealing a deadly virus.

Over the top? Absolutely.

(but the cast all seem to be having great fun)

David McK (3425 KP) rated Superman and Lois - Season 2 in TV

Sep 25, 2022

Season 2 of CWs 'Superman and Lois' (and family) show, that again pulls the rug from under the viewer in the early couple of episodes in who (or what) you would expect the 'big bad' of the season to be.

Hoechlin is fast becoming my favourite 'modern' incarnation of the character - nowhere near as dour and serious as Cavill in the DCEU - with Tulloch admirably holding her own as his now-wife Lois Lane living alongside Clark Kent in Smallville (now wife in that she has always been so since the show began, but - if you're anything like me - you most associate the character with their earlier years in Metropolis when she didn't know his secret)

Wonder Woman (0 more)

If I ever have to see Bruce Wayne's parents die on screen again, I'm never watching another Batman movie. It was so unnecessary. I didn't mind Ben Affleck as Batman (my unpopular opinion=Christian Bale was an awful Batman). Henry Cavill was the quiet, conflicted Superman, as he was in Man of Steel. No comment on Amy Adams as Lois Lane (because I have nothing nice to say). The shining moment: Wonder Woman. Though, if I didn't know who Wonder Woman was, I wouldn't have had any idea of who she was, because they never actually introduce the fact that she's Wonder Woman. Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, I mean, Lex Luthor, was, well... interesting?
Hey, it was a better movie than Suicide Squad.

Recently, I heard that Netflix were producing a series based on these novels, starring (the current) Superman himself, Henry Cavill.

I was also aware of the held-in-great-esteem computer game of the same name (or, rather, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt), even though I'd never actually played it.

When I watched the Netflix teaser trailer, I decided to give the original tales a go.

Translated from Polish into English, this is actually a collection of short stories rather than a full-blown novel in its own right, introducing - or so I've heard - some of the key players in the later full-blown saga, aside from Geralt of Rivia himself.

I think I'll be working my way through more of these!
