Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (2024)
All over the place
I was really looking forward to this movie with a great cast. Finally some real Costner cinema and some good old western action.
Well, I was dissapointed. Yes the filming is great. Beautiful locations. Casting is spot on and the characters look amazing. Real nice.
But. This movie was all over the place. The characters skipped years in one scene and were back in another. The editting is done so terribly that I didnt understand any of the timeline at some point. There are so many flaws like that in this movie that it gets annoying.
Also there are about 4 or 5 different stories n the movie and that doesnt help. The one time you are looking at a hooker with some kid, and the next screne you are in a whole different place where some guys hunt indians.
Costner obviously plays the silent string type who has a sixth sense for danger as he always does. But thats ok. I just hope part 2 will be more coherent.
Lioness (2023)
We gotta ask the big question
This series is pretty good. The storyline is great. Zoe Saldana is hot and dangerous at the same time without being green and all those other guys and gals are badass. A CIA drama as we all want. Some danger, some swearing and people who kill in a heartbeat. Nice, just what I want.
Yeah, as the title says, we gotta ask the big question. And that is, when will Nicole Kidman, who also is a badass, stop thinking she is a duck? Those lips and the numbness in her face is way out there and cant be taken serious. There is no movement at all. Cant take my eyes of that.
Good series nevertheless. And I am wanting more.

And then the wokeness came around the corner
The parts where they are saving lives and the acting of some actors is really great. Good stories and sometimes they made some nice twists and turns. Great show all around, and then there came season 3....
It's not about doctors and saving lives anymore. It's now about what all is wrong in this terrible world and what we need to do to fix all the wrong that is going on. Easy watching is over, we need to learn from this show from now on.
The writers are so focussed on making some points about how some minorities need to be treated, that they forget about everything else.
Well not for me. Season 1 and 2 were great, after that not so much.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
Not a very good show
Let's face it, Star Wars is milking the franchise.
When the Mandalorian aired everyone was curious, and ok, te show wasn't that bad. Soon it became boring and predictable.
So Star Wars thought, let's make another series just like it but with cheaper special effects. The effects are worse than the first 3 movies that were groundbreaking. And that says a lot.
It blows my mind that a franchise like Star Wars airs this show and is satisfied with it. Together with the terrible acting of Morrison, this show shows everyone what is wrong with franchises who are doing everything they can to bring in the cash for the least effort.
Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
Superb
I don't care much ahout animated movies/series. A friend of mine told me to see this and because I was home sick I gave it at try. And wow, was he right to tell me to see it.
The animation is amazing and the storyline is out of this world. There is so much going on, it's mindblowing. The art, owh where to start. The best animation art I have ever seen in a series/movie.
Bottomline, this is a must see.
