Swamp Thing- After a violent incident with a special chemical, a research scientist is turned into a swamp plant monster. I have not seen this since it was on HBO back in the day and I own a copy of the Shout Factory release that is collecting dust. I need to open this and give it a spin sometime.
Enter the Dragon- A Shaolin martial artist travels to an island fortress to spy on an opium lord - who is also a former monk from his temple - under the guise of attending a fighting tournament. Wow, this movie is 50. When I think of this movie I first think if what could have been with Bruce Lee. We all missed out on something very special. Warner Brothers has not been putting much love into their physical releases lately so I think I will stick with my Criterion release box set from a few years ago. This is a classic and highly recommended.
1923- The Duttons face a new set of challenges in the early 20th century, including the rise of Western expansion, Prohibition, and the Great Depression. There is some great story telling here as this story not only takes place in the West but Africa too. Taylor Sheridan lines up some great established actors and introduces us to some new ones that play these characters great. Bring on season 2. And because of the strikes that’s gonna be awhile.
Fast X- Dom Toretto and his family are targeted by the vengeful son of drug kingpin Hernan Reyes. Oh, I missed this one at the theater because the series is still missing something. Oh yeah, The Rock. The guy that made this a billion-dollar franchise. I read this movie fixes that issue as he shows up in a cameo at the end that basically announces he is back in the Fast fold. Bring it!
