I just watched that the other day too. I liked it.
At the end of the movie when he’s in his 4x4 (Ford) van it got me thinking. How bad ass it would be to have a pre-smog CHEVY 4x4 van, so i started looking into it. I kind of already knew Chevy didn’t make a 4x4 van from the factory but i was looking at ones for sale and/or conversion kits made for them. Pretty cool shit but i think i’m gonna just stick to my other plan. A K5 Blazer build with an LS swap. Would put the 408 stroker in there i wanna start building soon. Hey! A guy can dream right lol. The dreams I have while on the shitter always seem to cost the most.

This is pretty good, a prequel to "The Terminal List" from a couple of years ago. Tactical realism is first rate. A solid 9/10 IMO. Co-creator is Jack Carr.

“The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” consistently brings the action and the boom factor, big time.

Aliens Earth is the first in the franchise in a while that I think hits like the first two entries. It isn't perfect, but it is entertaining to watch.

Yeah I liked it , but I wish they moved it along, less cyborg/android/human interactions and more creature mayhem.

Just watched the new Superman. It sucked really bad. Like, really, really bad. The acting sucked (except for Lex), the story sucked, the direction sucked, the CGI was okay. It is worse than the worst Marvel movie I've seen. Of course, you gotta watch it so you, too, can be speak authoritatively on how much it sucked...

Did I mentioned it sucked???

Just finished the first season of “Wednesday”, a spin-off from the Adam’s Family. It’s actually very good. If you liked the TV series you’ll more than likely enjoy this. Jenna Ortega is awesome playing the role of Wednesday. It’s kinda different but the dialogue and one liners are killer.
