Free Guy (2021) was simply a thrilling movie to watch! From the 'loopish' game-themed plot that reminds you of Boss Level(2021) (except better!) to the AI-developed protagonist 'Guy' reminiscent of Upgrade(2018), it's both an awesome comedy and a beautiful love story of equal measures! Somehow, this game-based movie could easily fit in an episode of Black Mirror, leaving the audience awe-struck just thinking about the possibilities in our future with Artificial Intelligence - it gets pretty scary too! Gaming is taking an amazing new dimension today, and the integration of blockchain and NFTs in gaming has already hit another level of bonkers! Think Metahero ($HERO). I think it's time I start gaming again, hopefully beyond Soccer & fighting games. P.S. Ryan Reynold has been pretty awesome to watch since Van Wilder (2002)!

Very good movie that portrays the rotten side of law enforcement but gives a plausible explanation as to why it may be. All the actors were original and very convincing in their roles, the plot was precise and the action scenes were acute without going over the top. Chadwick Boseman gave a good performance and I could swear I saw some of that Black Panther training come to the fore many times, especially when he was in pursuit or throwing a punch! Love the direction his career is taking! Certainly a movie I'll watch again - this one's a keeper!

The Shining may have been epic in it's time especially having someone like Jack Nickelson on it, but this Doctor Sleep is just everything you would want in a movie that veers toward horrific and the supernatural. It's so gripping and spell-binding you wouldn't want it to end! Horror flicks don't really have the edge it once had on me as a boy, so I rate a horror movie based on the creepy ideas it feeds my imaginations after I've watched it and Doctor Sleep just blows my mind to bits. It's certainly a movie I'll watch again and again! Maybe I'll even read the book! Kudos to the director.

Stillwater embodies the typical 'American' approach to real world problems in the face of systemic beaurocratic/legal bottlenecks, especially outside of their own territorial comfort. Life may be generally tough and though it may be so due to a streak of bad choices, a certain conviction motivates Bill Baker (Matt Damon) to vigorously pursue his daughter's case even at the risk of his safety & comfort. His eventual findings, though unexpected does little to change his initial conviction. Needless to say, Matt Damon is an elite actor - an absolute delight to watch!

The Witcher is an interesting show that starts with a bit of a light touch, then suddenly gains a gripping hold on your senses and carries on till the 8th episode. While it seeks to captivate you with a whirlwind storyline that circles around the past and the present with everything and everyone that connects it all together, the occasional dots in the narrative are usually outlined as the audience reflect on the eventualities. Though many epic plots with similar actors have surfaced before this, The Witcher remains original, entertaining the mythical co-existence between Elves, Mages, Mutants, Monsters and Humans. Also fascinating is the dialogue that often shuffles between poetic and comical. Another plus to the show is it's excellently choreographed fight scenes which meets the mark by all standards of swordplay in my book. Henry Cavill delivers The Witcher's swordsmanship, character and personality with utmost precision it almost makes you want to give up your life's goals to be one! All in all, the Witcher is an awesome adaptation from the Polish fantasy book series and I look forward to Season 2. However, its way too soon to call it a replacement for Game of Thrones - but so far it's certainly a worthy substitute!
