Hey there gang! Spotlight number 115. Wherein I up periscope, and survey the cinematic landscape to see what might be out there in the land of technicolor and see if we can’t find you something interesting to watch today. I just started Silo. Loving it. Black Knight looks really intriguing. Let me know what else is out there worth checking out.
2023.05.05 SILO –
Wool, the original book, was brilliant. Lots and lots of fun. Intriguing post-apocalyptic world, brilliant questions. Intriguing answers. I loved the books and think Hugh Howey is a minor demi-god. Just because he’s cool and legit. I remember he released his books DRM free, and just appealed to folks to pay what they could. That always meant a lot to me. So, yeah, support the guy. Watch the show, buy his books. All the stuff.
2023.05.12 THE MOTHER –
Clever Mother’s Day pitch Netflix… I guess??? “After years of hiding out in the Alaskan wilderness, a deadly assassin returns to rescue the daughter she loved from afar. This Mother’s Day – watch THE MOTHER starring Jennifer Lopez and Joseph Fiennes.” Not sure this is going to land the plane though, personally, I’d much rather – play a round of Poker hands order.
2023.05.12 BLACK KNIGHT –
This looks legit, maybe too much CG?? But it looks really interesting. Maybe a new Squid Game level of interesting?? “In a peninsula that has gone dry, survival is not permitted to all. With only 1% of humanity left The Black Knights remain their last hope to overturn the world.”
