Palm Springs  is romcom scifi film. Produced by Lonely Island and exclusive to Hulu. I rarely watch anything with Andy Samberg in it. It is a good film. With the concept of a time loop I was interested. Niles is a young man living in Palm Springs. A wedding ceremony is to take place. You have a variety of characters. The maid of honour Sarah meets with him and they both would get stuck in a time loop. Interesting to see what the background is of this phenomenon. How long has Niles been reliving the day. This also had reminded me of The Wedding Singer. The soundtrack is OK. Cristina Milioti, JK Simmons, Tyler Hoechlin also star. 
 I watched  Bill and Ted face the music It is the third and final instalment. Bringing some of the old cast together. There are cringeworthy moments. Whether the cast are trying too hard, some of the well known musicians from history or the two daughters. It is an entertaining film. I recommend that you see the old ones. Present day San Dimas. Bill and Ted are middle aged family men. They hadn't written the song that would unite mankind. All of reality is at stake. The guys will try and find a solution with use of the booth. I see some recasts. The princesses would be the same age but they are played by younger actors. Good special effects. Nice location. The daughters are pretty. The film is on streaming services but should get a cinema release later.  Cast Genres :   Adventure ,  Comedy ,  Music ,  Sci-Fi Actors :   Keanu Reeves ,  Alex Winter ,  Kristen Schaal Directors :   Dean Parisot Countries :   USA ,  Canada ,  Italy Writers :   Chris Matheson , 
I have just watched Coma. A Russian film with English dub. Scifi. If you like The Matrix and Inception then this is for you. A young architect is in a coma after being in a car accident. He awakes in a strange new world. Stunning visual effects. There he meets a handful of survivors. There a these monsters called Reapers. There is a nice twist. He wants to try to get back to the real world. Worth checking out.

I watched a scifi horror named Shifter. For some reason I felt that I had seen it before. Released early this year. Theresa is single woman living on a farm. She works at the local factory. She is awkward, annoying when with her cat. Plenty of vomit scenes which I could have done without. She had built a time machine. Uses to travel to the past. But things have gone wrong. She desperately tries to figure out a solution. The effects aren't bad. Minimal cast in this indie flick. Director: Jacob Burns Screenplay: Jacob Burns Cast: Paul T. Taylor, Nicole Fancher, Katy Atkinson, Jacob Snovel, Leesa Neidel, more Producers: Zach Burns, Vinnie Hogan.  I recognised the actress playing the friendly neighbour. She was the con artist in season one of Friends. You also might like Primer.
Cast Joey King- Wren   Julia Goldani Telles- Hallie  Jaz Sinclair- Chloe  Annalise Basso- Katie  Alex Fitzalan- Tom  Taylor Richardson- Lizzie  Javier Botet- Slender Man  A horror film that I watched on Netflix. Released by Sony. Legend has it that there is a supernatural being called the Slenderman. It can be summoned. However people will go missing. A group of young friends have heard about this lore and decide to take part. A week later things start to go wrong. A friend goes missing and they want to delve deeper into the mystery. Good special effects. Nice soundtrack. I will look at trivia and discussion.
 I have watched The Monster. A horror indie film.  A mother and daughter are the protagonists. The relationship between them is fractured. She would be labelled a bad mother. The daughter will going to stay with her father. They're in for a long road trip. There are flashbacks which are unnecessary. They do come off as annoying and useless in some parts. There is an accident and a monster is lurking in the woods. Zoe Kazan, Ella Ballentine, Scott Speedman, Meeko Gattuso. 
 A Spanish horror film. I am watching on Netflix. Interesting filming location. There was the civil war in the beginning. Eight years later. A poor village. Through the forest is a Blacksmith. He is an outcast. Rumours are about him having made a pact with the Devil. Other villagers are featured. One being a little girl. Lost her mother years ago. She spends time playing alone. These trailers do reveal too much. A government official has come to investigate. I saw one review on IMDb and it almost tainted my view of the movie. Good cast of actors, dialogue and special effects. Special mention to the actor playing the demon. Cast  Kandido Uranga Patxi Uma Bracaglia Usue Eneko Sagardoy Sartael Ramón Agirre Alfredo
