Watching Physical:100 on Netflix
One of the thing I have really liked in Devil’s Plan and Physical:100 is how respectful and humble all the contestants are. This is really prevalent on Physical. When they win, they are so excited and when they lose they admit defeat gracefully and many say that they should have worked harder. 100 of the strongest people in Korea compete in quests and fights to keep their bust in tact. I’ve seen people call this a real-life Squid Game. In some ways they are right. It’s got the test of physical strength, the plot twists and ominous music. The lighting and stages are very dark like they are in a horror movie or an execution room.

I Watched Devil’s Plan on Netflix
Nine of the smartest people in Korea play games of intelligence and wit in order to gain and maintain gold pieces. If ever a contestant loses all their pieces, they are eliminated from the show and made to pack their bags. The contestants really start to grow close to each other and become a family despite many betrayals and mistakes along the way. So this is why when a player gets wiped out they get so distraught to the point one of them even says he has forgotten what the outside world was like.

My Review of "The Iron Claw"
The Iron Claw is a tragic real life family tale. The movie just came out at the tail end of 2023. I'm a fan of wrestling but only of certain eras. I didn't know much about the Von Erich's until this movie came out. It's shocking too because this wrestling family had to go through so much in their lives that it's a crime for their story not to be told.

My Review of "The Gray Man"
The Gray Man is an exclusive action film from Netflix. It came out back in 2022 but I didn't hear great buzz about this one. Still it looked like it had a ton of potential so I thought I would give it a try. I have to report that I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

My Review of "Spider-Man 3"
Spider-Man 3 was the conclusion of the Sam Raimi trilogy. It came out back in 2007. I know what happened. They had to strike while the iron was hot. At that time the public was eagerly anticipating this movie because the last two movies were so darn good. The problem is that they didn't come out with a very consistent finale.

The How To's of the Dark Side
Now this series is a great one. The amount of satire in these 3 different series is amazing! Essentially it pokes fun at being a cult leader, being a tyrant and being a mob boss. It is a fun way to watch and learn about some of the biggest names in the crime game, basically making fun of the mistakes that the big names make.

Villainess Review: Jill Rhodes (Naughty or Nice)
One of the many things I love about the holiday season is the holiday-themed shows and films. Hallmark starts celebrating the holidays in October, and I mean both networks; the mystery films take the rest of the calendar year off to make way for the holiday films on their channel. I don't expect villainesses to appear, and even if one does appear, they're usually just nasty or "Grinchy," and they redeem themselves by film's end, because, hey, it's the holidays. That's what the holiday spirit is all about.

Old School Anime Reviews - Appleseed (1988)
When it comes to the sci-fi genre in anime, there are many, many titles from which to choose. You have a literal anime buffet of sorts, so you can pick your proverbial poison. Some of the more well-known titles include Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis, Evangelion, and, of course, the numerous entries in the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise.
