My Review of "Ambulance"
Ambulance is bit of an unexpected movie of 2022. Although it was a pretty high budget summer film there wasn't a lot of publicity about this movie. That's kind of unheard of for a Michael Bay movie but maybe we've been all Bay'ed out after all these years. We've come to know and expect a certain movie from him and this isn't that much different. That's not a bad thing either.

My Review of "Star Trek: Generations"
Star Trek: Generations came out back in 1994. I remember this was the first Star Trek movie that I saw in the theatres. It's kind of strange because I still wasn't really into Star Trek back then. My brother knew more about Star Trek: The Next Generation TV show and that's why I went. I kind of knew the characters but not really well.

Filmmaking Lessons from “The Ocean’s Trilogy” — ‘Ocean’s Eleven’
Ocean’s Eleven was released in 2001. The world was kind of in a weird place. It felt like everything was on fire. I was nine years old and I was at the Regal Theater in New Rochelle. I was watching one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. George Clooney and Brad Pitt, the epitome of gentlemen thieves, were on the screen looking like absolute rock stars; movie royalty. At the end of the film, the villain, Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia), a ruthless mogul and casino owner, has just called the SWAT team to stop thieves from robbing his vault. The thieves escape and the SWAT team leaves. Terry Benedict stands in the middle of the vault and tries to piece together what just happened. His second in command asks him on the walkie-talkie, “What happened to all that money?” We cut to the SWAT team walking through the casino floor, bags in hand. One of them flips up their helmet to wipe the sweat off his brow. It’s Brad Pitt.

My thoughts on Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (Spoilers!)
So a couple of days ago I finally got the chance to watch Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, and I gotta say that I loved that movie from start to finish. I watched Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z growing up and this movie took me on a huge nostalgia trip. It also gave me a decent amount of satisfaction because the primary focus of the movie was on Gohan and Piccolo! Honestly, at this point I can't think of I didn't like about the movie. Let's get into why!

Enabling Thoughts on Dune
Maybe this could be the real sand worm of Paul Herbert's Dune. That and other random tangential thoughts could form the bulk of a networked corpus of knowledge, understanding, and analysis of classics. When I consider that, I wonder, why even care? I feel as small and insignificant as these sand worms.

House of The Dragon: Episode Two Review
The second episode of House of the Dragon returns us to form with a familiar and brand new cinematic opening. While the strings play in the background, the camera pans over a replica of Old Valyria with the crests of individual Targaryens engraved onto gold plates. The blood represents new generations, with one, in particular, splitting off nine times in one shot. It sure was a nostalgic trip to hear the Game of Thrones theme song, and it was a perfect way to start off the new episode.

My Review of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country came out back in 1991. By then the cast and crew had kind of outgrown their roles as crew members of the Enterprise. Still the last movie was kind of a disappointment so that's why it was a surprise to see this movie was a lot better. It's truly back to Star Trek form and it was very entertaining.

Observations On The Villains of Cobra Kai
Introduction Although I am enjoying Cobra Kai and am halfway through series five, I am hardly an expert on the whole thing, but I love how the series is developing. Its genesis is in the Karate Kid films of the eighties and two of the protagonists in those films (Ralph Macchio - Daniel LaRusso and William Zabka - Johnnie Lawrence) got together to develop “Cobra Kai” for Youtube.

My Review on Three Robots
"Love, Death, and Robots: Three Robots & Three Robots: Exit Strategies." Spoilers ahead! The other day I came across a funny animation called three robots that were part of a show called “Love, Death, and Robots.“ Many shorts range from horror, sci-fi, romance, and comedy. You can find this show on Netflix, the story was based on the short story written originally by John Scalzi, but was adapted by writer Philip Gelatt. The one I love so much and want to talk about is called Three Robots. A YouTuber channel named story recapped caught my attention when he explained the comedy/Science Fiction short film. I’ll include the link since I got some help from watching this video.
