Black Room Reviews

A film that was so great, yet not given the cinema treatment, it is beyond deserving of. I am speaking of the surprisingly great film, that just revitalized an iconic monster in Predator, we are talking Prey directed by Dan Trachtenburg, starring our new favorite heroin in Alien based monster films next to Ripley from Alien, Amber Midthunder as Naru of the Comanche nation. This is by far one of the best monster sci fi films in a long time and it deserves all of its praise. I watched this film three times and loved every second of it. The predator was captivating and intimidating, the setting fit the aesthetic and the theme of hunter vs hunted. And who would have thought a sci-fi period piece was what we all needed in our lives to reintegrate the predator creature back into popularity. Alvin Jariel and myself discuss our new favorite sci fi film of the year!

Usually on an episode, all participants watched the film that we would be discussing at hand, and then we talked. Unfortunately I was not able to catch bodies bodies bodies, but Alvin and Jess have so we will still be talking about it, from the perspective of someone who hasn't watched it and those who have. We will also have a small review about the newly released Dragon ball Super Super hero anime film that came out this past weekend as well. So let’s get right into it guys!

One hell of an action film, that’s one way to describe this film. It was almost like a small take of Smokin Aces, Kill Bill, and a number of other creative assassin based movies released over the years. Bullet Train, Starring Brad Pitt, based on the japanese film original. I truly loved this film, it’s not some amazing work of film art; or anything Oscar worthy, but this movie had me excited, and gave me a good time throughout the entirety of its run time. I truly enjoyed every second of this film, the characters, the scenarios and so much more. Alvin Jess and myself come together to discuss a new guilty pleasure of ours; bullet Train!

Two Shows on this podcast review, with two very different reactions. We couldn’t possibly have had an episode with two totally opposite reactions to a double feature review. Ms Marvel the most recent Disney Plus Original, and Resident Evil, the adaptation personally made by Netflix. One we actually felt was relatively decent for a character with no extensive popularity, and one so extensively popular because of its history of being the most popular horror game of all time. Resident Evil is laughably bad, and Ms Marvel is surprisingly good, come with us to unravel why that is!

NOPE! Is the exact thing I would be saying, and walking my ass away; if I saw a flying saucer in the sky Sucking shit off the ground and flying away. NOPE! Directed by Jordan Peele, starring Daniel Kaluya, and Keke Palmer as they try to run their struggling horse ranch, after the passing of their father. Weird things occur as horse go Missing and sky formations are shifting in weird ways, which eventually leads them to catching a UFO in the sky, and hoping they can catch it on film to make money from the “Oprah Shot” but you know things can never go as planned. Alvin Jess and myself discussed this third installment of the famous Jordan Peele Thrillers!

The Boys, if this isn’t the standard for one of the most hilarious, gruesome and funniest superhero shows, with the best storylines and characters, with the best development, I do not know how else you could measure greatness for a superhero show. Starring Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Laz Alonso, Karen Fukuhara, and erin Moriarty; as well as a number of other Stellar actors that I could be here all night listing their names. The Boy’s has to be my favorite superhero show produced, possibly more than the netflix version of Daredevil and the Punisher, we discuss this show today, as well as Marvel's newest film starring Chris Hemworth, Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson and more, directed by Taika Watiti, where Thor goes on a journey to discover the cause of the death of godly friends of his, where he will come to clash with the MCU version of the safest way to put an atheist on Screen, Gorr The God butcher. We have a full house tonight, our crew Alvin and Jess, Carl from the JP and Carl Podcast, and Lou and Will Representing the dorks and stuff podcast!

Kenobi The Series, on Disney Plus; This show has caused such a divisive split in the fandom of Star Wars. People hate it, loving it and many in the middle, many impatient with its pacing and others wanting more. People have been unsatisfied with their expectations, and many feel like it was well done and helped understand the character more. Alvin and I delve deep in to our feelings of this series as we discuss should it have even been made in the first place, let’s get into it!

Do not Sleep on Lightyear! I’m telling you right now; it may not be the best pixar film but it is definitely not it’s worst and the review bombing for this film is solely unwarranted. Black Phone felt a little underwhelming. I really thought this film would easily put me into a fear induced coma, unfortunately I’m still here, well and active. It felt like a hype built up for me that wasn't reached and it left me high and dry for the film. The crew and I are here to Discuss Lightyear, directed by Angus Mclain, starring Chris Evans, as well as The Black Phone Directed by Scott Dereckson, starring Ethan Hawkins. We have a lot to talk about so let's jump into it!

Why? why, Do they feel the need to continue making these films? I just do not understand, Jurassic World Dominion directed by Colin Trevorrow, starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and the original Trio of the Jurassic Park Trilogy. The Dinosaurs are still the stars of the show, and the humans have the most bland incoherent story lines you could possibly imagine. I wish these movies could be better, but literally every time a new one comes out it does not fail to disappoint.

Two of Television media's best stylized shows with deep messages behind each episode masked in Comedy, drama, and action. Love Death and Robots with the anthology style animation; and Atlanta with a very heavy cohesive but Anthology style of storytelling, both mirroring human experiences and themes, throughout the entirety of their run. While these shows are not everyone's cup of tea, no one can deny their creativity, the messages they portray to their audiences and more.
