Aquaman - Movie Review

Jason Momoa

I remember the first time seeing Jason Momoa play Ronon Dex on Stargate: Atlantis. I recently bing watched Game of Thrones. Most probably are trying to forget his Conan the Barbarian even though I thought it was pretty good. When I first saw that he was going to play Aquaman, I felt they could have not chosen a better actor for the part.

Now to get in trouble with all the Jason Momoa fans. All these characters are the same brooding, muscle bound characters that are street smart but sometimes oblivious to everything else. Either he has been typecast or that is the range of his acting. At least Braven, his character was slightly different but not much. Don't get me wrong. Jason Momoa will probably go down as the the one true Aquaman just like Christopher Reeve will be known for Superman and Hugh Jackman will be known for Wolverine. I would just like to see him show more acting range.

Movie Review

Aquaman is one of the top two DCU movies out there. Many argue which is the better movie between Wonder Woman and Aquaman. Gal Gadot has my vote that Wonder Woman was the better movie. It was my daughter that explained of course it was a good movie, DC copied Marvel's Black Panther movie. Granted there are way too many similarities between the two movies to wonder if this is not true but the fact both are big production movies that came out ten months apart make it more likely they just using a typical superhero story arc. Regardless of what you might think about that, I loved Aquaman movie. There were several great casting choices in this movie. All give great performances. Despite the DCU failings, Aquaman 2 is currently schedule for 2022 release date. I suspect we will probably see an Aquaman 3 as well.

Movie Rating

I rate this at least a HD movie. I would recommend it for under $10. I did get this in HD for $9 from UltraCloudHD when it first came out.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...
