Hidden Gems: No One Lives

No One Lives
    I am starting a post that I will call Hidden Gems.  This will be where I will discuss things that may have been around for years, but are new to me.  For example, today's feature.  I was surfing on Amazon Prime and came across the film No One Lives.

    What caught my eye to the film is the fact that it stars Brodus Clay and was produced by WWE Studios.  So, with my attention caught, I read the blurb about what the film was about and I thought this could be interesting.  So, I pressed play and my mind was blown!

    The story starts with a girl running for her life only to be captured...but by who.  Then we see a couple driving away from their past and looking forward to a new beginning.  They run into some local scum and then the film jumps up 10 notches.

    I am not going to tell you too much because I want you to discover this Hidden Gem.  If you saw it already, you know what I mean. I had no idea that the film would be this good.  I understand that it was originally met with mixed reviews but I proudly give this film 10 out of 10 stars.  Hopefully, I can find some more films from this writer because I am sure they are just as good.

  • Luke Evans as Driver

    Saturday Showcase: the Trench

    the Trench 

    With all the excitement from Comic Con and all the new trailers, I thought I would use to showcase the Trench monsters from Aquaman.  In past showcases, I have talked about characters that have been around for years, but after watching the trailer, I wanted to talk about the Trench.


    Arthur and Mera battle the Trench creatures
    For those of you who don't know, the Trench are a long forgotten race of underwater predators that evolved from one of the three surviving kingdoms of Atlantis.  The other two kingdoms being the Xebelians and Atlantians of course.  (From the trailer it appears all 3 kingdoms are represented)  The Trench have loyalty to the Dead King, but they will follow whoever wields the Dead King's scepter.  Orm thought it was powerful and that is what controlled them where as Arthur thought the sight of the scepter made them follow due to tradition and loyalty to the Dead King.

    Outnumbered, just the way Arthur likes it.
    The Trench first appeared in 2011 during the New 52 days of the DC Universe.  They were created by Geoff Johns & Ivan Reis.  The trench was also used by King Orm in his war with the surface world and Justice League.  Honestly, the Trench story line is what made me realize how much of a bad ass Aquaman really was.  So when I saw the SDCC trailer for Aquaman and saw the Trench monsters in it, I knew I had to write this post and share my approval.  I am excited to see the film, not only to see the Trench but to see how they are used in the film.  

    In the end, the Trench are some bad ass mofos and I am glad it didn't take years to get the recognition they deserve.  If you haven't seen the trailer yet, please feel free to watch it here and now.


    Until next time, unleash your inner NERD!

    Wonder Woman animated film (2009)


    So, for my Christmas evening viewing I decided to watch the Wonder Woman animated film.  I gotta admit, I am a fan of this film.  My only problem with the film is the introduction of the invisible jet.  I know that is a Wonder Woman must, but if the Amazons were hidden for centuries, where the hell did that plane come from.  LoL, I guess it just one of those things that make you go hmmmm.

    Labor Day

    Happy Labor Day and have a MARVELous Monday!
     
     
    To celebrate Labor Day as well as MARVELous Monday, I treated myself to a viewing of Iron Man. In my opinion the film that made the Avengers possible.
