It’s Indiana Jones-granted Dial of Destiny self serious and The Last Crusade 3 Stooges slapstick comedy. A balanced gameplay experience between the looming war to come and childish jokes. It’s the best adaptation of the franchise in a game so far. Except the second Nazi colonel-dude has no humor and says nothing with a Max Payne scowl. Brody and Gina whine and nag a lot not nearly as much as Willy or Navi the fairy. It's not overt, but Dame Nawal Shafiq-Barclay and Laura Lombardi’s lesbian relationship is casually revealed in Gizeh. The situation feels like it was rewritten multiple times to be more subtle and natural than overt. That throw away subplot isn’t even an issue. Whatever fundamentalist neoconservatives might be bothered by got reigned in by quality control. There’s a lot of introspection by Indiana Jones with payoff for the first two films and being a direct sequel to Raiders. Anachronism and Bethesda specific development design choices/new game bugs are as bad as it gets. Scripting breaks a lot, reloading the checkpoint and cut-scene like scripted sequences are the current fix to the problem. Spent the entire weekend’s days of play and had a blast. There’s a Muay Thai combat book that adds more blocks, knees and elbows to the boxing melee. Sukhothai has the adventure point potential of 6,000 points to get perks from books.

In comparison, Fallout 4 let you save before leaving Vault 111 to use to create more characters requiring only two for both genders then get into the action faster with the armorer, gun nut and science skills before level 10. Starfield’s tutorial is pretty lock step ingrained impenetrable is full of potential that takes painfully long to become realized requiring you really have to grind for it in no timely short order. “I don’t understand how you ran out of ammo” alert phase enemies are bullet and sponges. Rippershanks and knives seem to be the only effective fast impactful melee weapons since Skyrim was rebuilt in Creation engine. Todd Howard seems to have the shorthand of Frank Miller of noting familiar core concepts with player and popular culture context kind of filling in the details. Plus no one has mentioned that the UC/Freestar alliance collective colony war homages Tim Minear’s Firefly concept down to the United States and peoples Republic of China administration of the united colonies of the United Nations. There’s some Star Trek- a larger bit of Voyager. Neon is a call back to classic cyberpunk inspired by Phillip K Dick & Walter Gibson on Neon with visual cues to blade runner to distinctively differentiate visually and totally from the other star systems. Storyteller Cyberpunk and Shadowrun modules subplots inspired a singular storyline mission and all of the side quests. It’s got Deus Ex, even Syndicate RTS plot vibes.

Literally, Thora Birch, but Nick Swardson and he also became a pornographic actor. Unusual presence and unique performance from Christina Ricci in a sophomoric, two dimensional film. Has more charm than Zach and Miri make a porno.

This movie is really fun and entertaining while people act like lunatics as the flood and the house goes increasingly more awry and the stakes keep getting higher.

Not exactly sure what I'm looking at when I'm watching this Australian B-movie? film. Shot at Philippine locations contested by the New People's Army with government vehicles and equipment used to fight said New People's Army. Starring R. Lee Ermey, Wings Hauser, Albert Popwell & Robert Arevalo.R. Lee Ermey co-scripted additional scenes for the film in collaboration with the director. R. Lee Ermey & Wings Hauser ad lib. Ermey of a more authentic experience, Hauser for a "better" performance. At the start of the Tet Offensive, Marines on patrol runs into signs of large enemy movement with large a mount of unreported friendly casualties & rescue a POW. They return to Firebase Gloria. When the base comes under attack the patrol remains to help in its defense. The Army and Marines are attacked numerous times by the Viet Cong, but hold the base with assistance from the 1st Cavalry Division.Cognitive dissonance where Viet Cong and marines are in the same situation. NVA Commander realizes it was never his mission to win the battle, but to lead cannon fodder assaults in order to allow the North Vietnamese Army to take a more substantial role in the war. Unique visuals, there will be a lot of dead, damaged bodies stacked in piles. They do a good job not blinking when film playing dead. Costume and props have that localized camo pattern that never fits. A lot of the special effects are gasoline fire and air bag squibs. Firing grenades at CO's bunker to assume command. Dressing up as VC to disrupt the the enemy camp. Not enough personal squibs for gunshot wounds with melee kills. A lot of effort was put into drama and how the horrors of war never gets to be impactful. Wings Hauser has a lot of character plot points for the first time with no prior reference alluding to them. He will copy R. Lee Ermey beat for beat. Some hit and miss character development from inconsistent performances. All over the place where it isn't grounded in a contemporary way to compliment the war film narrative or B movie action. Feels like a television movie spread out instead of going all in on the concept.

Not a fan of the Duran Duran song, it feels competently composed but a phoned in commission. Roger Moore's age shows-especially in action scenes before cutting to younger, more athletic stuntmen. Missing from Octopussy is the precision head-shot marksmanship and the Walther P5 handgun. Not the worst Christopher Walken performance-but His accent, despite His best attempts to subdue it are a detriment to the role of Max Zorin. Tanya Roberts' Stacy is modified major character supporting character. Mayday feels shoehorned into the script despite not actually being rushed. Grace Jones' performance seems on par with Her previous and future roles. Not particularly bad given the material. I cannot give an objective opinion on Reoccurring roles by actors Lois Maxwell, Desmond LLewelyn, Robert Brown and Walter Gotell, of which I adore immensely. The plot of A View to a Kill shares a number of similar scenes with the 1984 Jame Bond novel Role of Honour by James Gardner. For example: both stories heavily involve the use of computers and microprocessors, and both have their climax take place in an airship over a city.
