Fallout series (2024)

And now for something different.  My son who is a big fan of Fallout wrote his first review, so he would be best to judge the series and how it played to him.  Take it away Kris: For as long as I can remember, I have been a die-hard fan of the Fallout video game franchise. I mean that as in I legitimately don’t remember how or when I became a Fallout fan but I was hooked immediately. I played Fallout 3 first before moving on to New Vegas and Fallout 4 once it was released. I even went back and played the original 2 games in 2018. Over the years my views on Fallout as a franchise and Bethesda as a whole began to shift, but that is a story for another time. But I still love those games and I still replay 3 and New Vegas often.

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (2024)

What can I say if your into the monster verse & love those old time Toho studio films you'll love "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire".  But I think even if you're not a fan you'll enjoy this film.  In this film we have a team up, and what a team up it is.  Godzilla and Kong doing their thing.  Here they must defeat the evil ape Scar & his pet who is controlled by Scar, and it's up to Godzilla to help along with Kong. The movie opens up the monster-verse and makes it bigger.  We the audience learn more about hollow earth and its lore, and it's a great jumping off point film for more adventures with our cast of characters.  Is this a film that says something and why does it exists, and all I can say is the film exists for pure entertainment value, and for the kid inside of all of us.  This film is about the monsters, and it is us humans who are caught in the middle of it.  Godzilla is the protector of the earth.  That means he protects it...
