The Writing & Musings of C. T. Murphy
After two playthroughs, I am ready to pass final judgment on The Outer Worlds - and move on. The Outer Worlds is the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment. Of the entire Fallout series, their turn with Fallout: New Vegas is likely my favorite. The Outer Worlds stands on its own, but it shares similar gameplay … Continue reading The Outer Worlds (PC, 2019)
In a recent group chat with close friends, the question was asked, “Which Pay-Per-View would sell better: Batman versus Captain America or Goku versus Superman?” Of the four of us, we were evenly split and equally set in our reasons why. For me, I voted Batman versus Captain America because, to borrow from wrestling, Goku … Continue reading Ghost Giant (PSVR, 2019)
“Creed II” is the 2018 sequel to “Creed” starring Michael B. Jordan (Adonis Creed), Tessa Thompson (as Bianca), and Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa. In addition, Dolph Lundgren reprises his role as 80s supervillain, Ivan Drago, the man who killed Apollo Creed, Adonis’s father, in Rocky IV. There’s also an appearance by Brigitte Nielsen whom … Continue reading Creed II (2019)
I have never purchased anything from Pop Chart before, but I really wanted their Fill-In Filmography the first time I saw it. You may think that Diane and I watch a lot of movies. We don't. Outside of this month and our ongoing Warner Brother's Top 100 Film project, we are lucky if we watching … Continue reading The Fill-In Filmography
During the 2017 holiday season, I got a great deal on the Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film Collection. Diane and I haven't seen most of these movies, but we are committed to watching one a week and writing a short review. We both have heard of Steve McQueen - thank you Pixar - but … Continue reading WB Top 100: Bullitt (1968)
For dad’s birthday weekend extravaganza, we took a break from eating lobster tails and watching baseball to watch a movie. We chose “If Beale Street Could Talk”, the 2018 drama, because dad had “heard a lot about it on TV”. This isn’t a shocking reason for choosing anything and it was a welcome choice when … Continue reading If Beale Street Could Talk (2018)
When it comes to writing thirty-one movie reviews in a row, not every review written can be a winner and neither are all the movies we watch. Sometimes you have your father coming over for his birthday the next day and you just want to have something on while you bake a cheesecake. Sometimes that … Continue reading A Bulleted List of Reasons We Turned Off Aquaman
“Ex Machina” was the perfect follow-up to watching “2001: A Space Odyssey”. In many ways, the films are similar. The dialogue and exposition are limited. There’s a constant flow toward something - a building tension - but you are not sure what. Both also talk about artificial intelligence and related concepts. And, for us, “Ex … Continue reading Ex Machina (2014)
During the 2017 holiday season, I got a great deal on the Best of Warner Bros. 100 Film Collection. Diane and I haven't seen most of these movies, but we are committed to watching one a week and writing a short review. Like so many fans of film, I consider myself a fan of Stanley … Continue reading WB Top 100: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Life intervened today, so I wasn't able to finish and review the movie I intended. To keep with the theme (and maintain my post spree), I thought I would share some trailers I have seen recently that have my interest: Dolemite Is My Name I am not expert on the blaxploitation genre, but I loved … Continue reading Trailer Park
