Bosch series is tremendous.  I love the books and the series truly brought it to life.  The Ballard and Lincoln Lawyer series are also very well done.  Michael Connelly is very involved in the production of his books, and it shows.

There is a new War of the Worlds movie up on Prime, with Eva Longoria. I checked Rotten Tomatoes, and there is no listing for it. Which I can't imagine is a great sign.

Wild Bill is a very well acted, cast, written and directed. Has a very atypical arc and a moving, unique take on an otherwise pretty common excon plot. Really enjoyed it.

"Ballard" is pretty good through 2 eps.  If you like Bosch or Lincoln Lawyer, give it a try. 

I really liked Ballard it just didn't resonate for me like Bosch. Likely in part due to a female lead rather than male, but I found some of the subplots/twists extremely predictable. I should note, I do love Maggie Q in the roll and the bulk of my issues weren't with her nor her performance. 

Spoiler

I do wish they had advanced the development of Rawls earlier in episodes. They made him too annoying early and "switched" him too fast. I get how they were using him as a minor heel plot device and the change for the twist death. I just think the writing could scaled back his heel and made the "switch" a longer progress. They could have taken that time from the predictable Martina one.

It’s awful. It’s not even so-bad-it’s-good.

The tag line has to be intentional.

I really do think it will end up being on a list of worst movies ever made. As @Buzzrock said, it won't fall into the so bad it's good world either. No gratuitous T&A, not shoe string budget, no gore for gore sake, no goofy acting and no quirky editing. Shit script, shit CGI, shit acting, shit directing and shit plot.

I saw where it was filmed in 2020 and put on the shelf for five years. Lulz

When I watched it, my first thought was that  this looks like something filmed during lockdown.

They should have kept that shit on the shelf.

No one asked what it would be like to experience an alien invasion via Teams. At least I'm getting paid at work to sit in on shitty meetings.

Big news for Alan Ritchson as his latest movie Motor City makes its North American premiere at TIFF tonight following its world premiere at Venice: The Reacher star will lead Patrick Hughes‘ untitled Amazon MGM Studios movie about NAVY Seal Mike Thornton.  The film falls under Ritchson’s three-picture acting deal with the studio.

The latest Mike Thornton project reps a reunion for the Range-repped Ritchson and Hughes who recently completed Netflix’s feature sci-fi adventure War Machine.

The film will follow NAVY Seal Mike Thornton during the final days of the Vietnam War as he leads a desperate last stand after five men are trapped behind enemy lines in North Vietnam. Outnumbered by an army of 150 soldiers, they fight through relentless enemy fire before making a harrowing retreat into the South China Sea. With both a gravely wounded lieutenant and fellow soldier tied to him, Thornton swims for hours through hostile waters to reach safety, an act of valor that earned him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
