Starting to watch the old “X-Files” show on Netflix to get ready for the new season in Jan…

2 Comments

Last night on Netflix, I started watching the old “X-Files” show on Netflix so I can get prepared for the new revival show in Jan. The new revival show won’t air on TV until Jan. 24th ’cause that’s the premiere date so I believe I have plenty of time to watch all 9 seasons of the original show. So I might have to do a lot of binge watching. I don’t mind ’cause X-Files has always been my favorite franchise. I watched the original show on TV when it first aired back in the day but I kind of want to re-watch it all again. I don’t really have to but I want to ’cause I love the “X-Files”. Love the show and saw the two big screen movies. I love Scully and Mulder. Of course, I mostly watch the show for Scully ’cause I always found that Gillian Anderson is pretty fuckin’ hot. Most importantly the stories are good and I dig sci-fi and UFO’s myself. The “X-Files” just rules. I’ve always been a big fan myself.

Just started watching the show “Longmire” on Netflix finally, so far it’s really really good!

Leave a comment

“Longmire” one of Netflix’s original shows, is one popular show on TV I never saw before until now. I’ve been hearing people saying good stuff about the show and it piqued my interest so I finally started checking it out myself. Just finished watching “Season 1” last night. So far, it’s an excellent show. Finally, a show with really good writing for a change.

This show are mystery stories and whodunit kind of stuff. The show is also filmed like a Western. They make the whodunit storylines pretty unpredictable really which is part of why I’m impressed with the show. Plus, the acting of the cast is really good. Robert Taylor who plays Walt Longmire is a really good actor. Lou Diamond Phillips who I’ve been a fan of for a long time is still killing it as well.

It’s a fun and exciting show. It’s definitely the best original show on Netflix for sure other than “House of Cards” and “Marco Polo”. Yeah, I’m real late getting into this show but I finally decided to get into it since I’m not watching any other TV shows at this time. “Longmire” is great and I think I’m definitely gonna catch up before the new Season 5 gets here which just got greenlighted.

Will I check out some of the other original Netflix shows??? I’m staying away from “Orange Is the New Black” and I think I’m gonna stay away from “Daredevil”. I’m thinking about checking out “Narcos” ’cause that one looks interesting to me. I’ll check out that one when I finish “Longmire”.

Watched Netflix’s “Beasts of No Nation” last night and it was a pretty amazing film… recommended watching for sure…

Leave a comment

Why did the film “Beasts of No Nation” land on Netflix instead of the movie theaters? It did get played in some movie theaters but this film failed in the box office. It’s simply because all the material in this film is pretty controversial. The film is dark and pretty violent.

It’s a story about a young African boy named, Agu who’s father’s been killed by an African army so Agu takes matters into his own hands by joining a different kind of Army and becoming a soldier himself to avenge his father’s killing.

It’s a dark and graphic movie which is why it wasn’t shown in that many movie theaters and why it didn’t make a lot of money. Probably because this is a movie that the “Black Lives Matter” crowd can’t take ’cause this film is black on black violence, that’s why.

I thought it was a pretty amazing film and I predict it’s gonna get some Oscar nominations. Could the Oscars nominate a Netflix movie for the first time? It could happen.

The movie was well-filmed and well acted. Story was good too. It’s definitely one of the better war films I’ve seen in a while.

I thought Idris Elba did a good job in that movie too ’cause he played a good role in it. He could also get an Oscar nomination for that role.

If you’re a Netflix subscriber like myself, I’d suggest you give this film a look. Definitely check it out.

Hollywood using TV for female-centric superheroes as a test for big screen movies???

Leave a comment

Soon, DCs “Supergirl” is coming to NBC and now Hollywood has another female-centric superhero TV show coming to the small screen exclusively for Netflix. This one is called, “Jessica Jones” and it’s already looking interesting even if it’s a tiny teaser. I’m sure Marvel will release the full trailer soon.

I know Hollywood isn’t friendly with female-centric superhero movies but are they using TV shows first as a test for future big screen movies? I’d say yes. If “Supergirl” and “Jessica Jones” are both big hits then I can see Hollywood making a lot more female-centric superhero movies for the big screen. It’s just a test to see how well the TV shows go, ya know?

There are female-centric superhero movies coming to the big screen like DC’s “Wonder Woman” and Marvel’s “Captain Marvel” are both in the works.

I think women deserve a chance in the superhero genre. I think they can become successful… they just need a good script, good casting and good filming. Women taking the lead in superhero films can work if done right.

I’m looking forward to the “Crouching Tiger” sequel and the new Pee Wee film. Maybe I’ll check out the new Adam Sandler flicks too.

I love the Pee Wee character. Been a big fan of Paul Reubens for many years and still am so I can’t wait for “Big Holiday”.

Finished watching the last of “Sons of Anarchy” earlier today…

Leave a comment

So I finished the last of “Sons of Anarchy” on Netflix earlier today. WOW! What a great fuckin’ show it was too! I had a great ride watching it all. It really was a great show. The writing of the show was really good. All of it. The show was action packed and very violent. A lot of blood and gore too! The show is full of acting talent. Everybody in the show did a great job with their roles. The stories had a lot of interesting twists and turns. Some pretty good shockers I never saw coming.

Sad the show only lasted for 7 seasons but I understand how people wanna move on after working on the same show for a long time. It’s definitely one of the best shows on TV and it’s one of my top 5’s. While Charlie Hunnam did a great job playing Jax, I was most impressed with Ron Perlman who played Clay Morrow. I was also impressed with Marilyn Manson’s role who played Tully in Season 7. I’m with most fans that I wished the character, Opie, lasted longer without trying to reveal spoilers. All the characters were great.

I liked seeing Peter Weller the Robocop guy in the show too. Peter Weller directed a lot of episodes himself in Season 7.

I had a fun time watching the show. I also hope this isn’t the end of SOA for good, though. Hopefully they come back with a spin-off show of some sorts or maybe a big screen movie.

If you haven’t started watching the show at all… you should definitely start now! Thanks Kurt Sutter!

Olsen Twins might be interested in returning to “Full House” after all???

Leave a comment

The Olsen twins spoke out about the “Full House” revival and they said they didn’t know about it but they’re gonna call the cast and crew to see what’s going on. Sounds like they are interested in coming back but we’ll wait and see.

Will Michelle say “You got it, dude” one more time???

Leave a comment

John Stamos, the star of the sitcom “Full House” has revealed that the show is coming back to Netflix with a 13 episode all-new season. The name of the new show will be titled, “Fuller House”.

Stamos will produce and he will reprise his role as Uncle Jessie as a guest star… probably meaning, he will appear as a cameo in some episodes.

The crew are in negotiations with the other cast members such as Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, the Olsen Twins and Lori Loughlin.

The new show will focus on the two Tanner sisters DJ and Stephanie living together in San Francisco to help raise DJ’s two boys.

‘Full House’ Return A Go On Netflix, John Stamos Tells Jimmy Kimmel

There’s no doubt that Bob and Dave will probably return but will the Olsen twins? Will Mary Kate and Ashley reprise their roles as the iconic role of Michelle? Without Michelle, I don’t think the revival is gonna work. Michelle was the whole reason “Full House” got popular to begin with. We’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah, Mary Kate and Ashley are full grown adults by now but I think they can still handle the Michelle catch phrases quite well.

I admittedly used to watch this show myself but not by choice… a lot of times I got dragged into watching the show with other people when the show used to be on TV.

I expect the 8 seasons of the original show will be made streamable for Netflix soon now this is happening.

Paul Reubens starts filming “Pee Wee’s Big Holiday” today…

Leave a comment

Well filming for the new Pee Wee film, “Big Holiday” has begun filming today. Paul Reubens spent most of his St. Paddy’s day preparing to start, “Big Holiday”. In the photo above is Paul Reubens himself in character of Pee Wee on the set of the new film.

Glad the new Pee Wee movie is finally happening. Pee Wee may not have aged a bit but his hands, though. His hands are getting kind of veiny and wrinkly if you’ve noticed.

As filming is going on, I’ll be on the lookout for more behind the scenes pics. I’m sure more photos will surface the web at some point.

Paul Reubens talks more on “Pee Wee’s Big Holiday”…

Leave a comment

Pretty cool stuff. Paul Reubens reveal a lot more stuff about the upcoming Netflix Pee Wee film titled, “Pee Wee’s Big Holiday”.

Paul explains that they have been writing the script for 5 years or a little more on and off. It may seem like that this was all done pretty quickly but in reality, Paul explains it took them a long time to finally get this project confirmed. It didn’t happen overnight.

He also says that this movie is gonna be very similar to “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” but a little different. It’s gonna be an “on the road” kind of story and will be travelling across the country kind of like in the “Big Adventure” film. A lot of people like to mistaken “Big Adventure” as a kid’s movie but not really. Reubens explained that film has something for everyone in it of all ages and it will be the same for this movie. In “Big Holiday”, the story is gonna be different and totally new so it’s not gonna be a sequel to “Big Adventure”.

Some people may find it weird that I’m a fan of Pee Wee but in reality, most of Pee Wee’s fan base are full grown adults. Some of his fan base are children yes ’cause of that “Pee Wee’s Playhouse” TV show but the majority of his fans are adults from 20 yrs. – 50 years of age or older. The Pee Wee character may seem like it’s for children but a lot of his jokes were aimed for adults, though if you pay attention and get it.

Pee Wee’s character maybe bizarre and weird but that’s the whole point of the character, I believe. He was meant to be bizarre and weird ’cause that’s what makes the character entertaining as hell.

I’ve always been a big Pee Wee fan and can’t wait for “Big Holiday”.
