Zoo - 2015
Rewatching this series and I must say I love it more than I did the first time round.
A shame they didn't renew it after 3 seasons, and if memory serves it didn't really have a proper ending.

Rogue - 2020
Megan Fox, Philip Winchester

What an awesome movie! Great action, and a deeper message underneath which is what I love!
I don't really get why this only has a 4 out of 10 rating, it deserves at least double that. I'm gonna leave my review on IMDB as I often do and rate it 10.

Militia hunting a rescue team, AND a very PO lioness...

And seeing Philip Winchester walking round with a rifle and handgun, man, brings me right back to the golden days of Strike Back, the seasons with him & Sully Stapleton.
The only thing missing is his BrE accent. He's so much sexier with BrE accent love

The Darkest Hour - 2011

Movie about aliens, but this time they're energy forms, not tangible aliens.
The few survivors after the first landing and attack have to find a way to fight them effectively.

Movie has 4.9 rating, but I found it quite good. Maybe not an A movie, but that's in the eye of the beholder anyway.
I really liked it, would give it a 7 for sure.

The Fate of the Furious - 2017

I'd not seen it yet, and I enjoyed it a lot!
Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson make a good team :)
Charlize Theron playing a typical biotch role again. I really don't like her but someone's gotta play it.

Anywho good movie!

Hobbs & Shaw
Spin-off of the Fast & Furious sequel.
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham and Idris Elba

I liked it, although it gets a bit Marvel / superpower-ish which I'm not big on.
But it was still a fun movie. Long too which isn't a problem when the movie is a good watch.

I LOVE the "Fallen" series!!


OT -- just finished "Fast & Furious 7", the one they had to adept as Paul Walker had that tragic accident.
A wonderful tribute to Paul, the end made me cry.

And it was based on true events that happened in my neck of the woods in Pennsylvania. I give it 4 stars!
