Knights of the Zodiac (2023)
Not that bad
It wasn't horrible, I've seen a lot worse. I would definitely watch a sequel. Most of the characters are likable. I'm not a Famke Janssen fan so I had no problem with her being the "villain".
I enjoyed Mackenyu in One Piece and Madison Iseman in the Jumanji movies.
Unfortunately, Sean Bean died (again). And I'm a big fan of Mark Dacascos.
I thought the effects were good, but I am sure people will say they were terrible. It looked like a video game at times, but I did not have a problem with that.
Sometimes you just have to enjoy the movie and not nitpick. There were flaws, but I could watch this again.
The Full Monty (2023)
Not thrilled
It was great to see all the gang again, but it was disappointing overall.
Many new characters were added, understandably. But I didn't care for most of them.
My biggest problem with the series was the amount of 'issues' that were addressed. Alcoholism, infidelity, hunger, disabled/handicapped (multiple characters), suicide (multiple episodes), just to name a few. I couldn't list everything if I tried. (Watch and you'll understand.)
It was as if they didn't expect the series to be renewed for a second season so they tried to pack as much into season one as they could. For that reason, I hope it doesn't get renewed. There's not much left they can do. There was very little that was even remotely amusing.
In closing, RIP Horse. You shouldn't have gone out that way and deserved a better storyline.
The Graham Norton Show: Helen Mirren/Pedro Pascal/Ariana DeBose/Freya Ridings (2023)
Graham didn't know?
I can't believe Graham didn't know who Freya Ridings' father was, actor Richard Ridings.
Mr. Ridings has been in a number of great movies and definitely is a memorable actor. With his deep voice and presence, you can't miss him.
I've been a fan of Richard Ridings since before Erik the Viking (one of my favorites!). He's been in so many movies, tv shows and done voice work, I can't believe that Graham didn't know him at all. I was excited to see him!
No offense against Graham, I was just shocked that he didn't know who he was. Did no one do a background check on Freya and tell Graham who her father was? He should've been a guest at some point! It was kind of insulting.
But Freya is amazing! The Ridings family should be proud!!
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm (2022)
Mando cometh
Near the beginning of this episode, when Boba Fett is sitting by the fire, he notices the lights off in the distance. At that time you can hear the Mandalorian music.
That light is the Mandalorian's ship leaving the planet after bounty hunter Toro Calican shot Fennec Shand even though Mando told him not to kill her. I'm glad Boba Fett saved her, she did not deserve that.
The music is heard again at the end of the episode.
This series isn't bad, but having the Mandalorian included makes it even better! I love how the series are entwined. Many, many easter eggs, you have to pay close attention!
