(TV SERIES) The 'Burbs Season 1 - Reimagining Adaptation of the Cult Classic of 1989 Movie with the Same Title

As I was looking for something new to watch last night, I came across this brand new series from Peacock that was released on HBO Max. It looked like fun so I did not hesitate to give it a try immediately and just finished the whole season today. All right then, why don't I get right on it.

Brief Story Line

The newlyweds Rob Fisher (Jack Whitehall - Clifford the Red Dog, Fresh Meat TV series etc) and his wife Samira (Keke Palmer - The PickupLightyear etc) had just moved to Rob's childhood home in the suburb where they decided to raise their infant child.

The Strangers: Chapter 3 - The Final Part of The New Strangers Trilogy With Some Story of their Origins

I noticed this movie in the Coming Soon section a couple of weeks ago. Since my wife and I had seen the two films before this one, we definitely did not want to miss the final installment of the trilogy. So when it was released yesterday, we decided to watch it in our favorite cinema. OK, I'll just get right to it now.

Brief Story Line

After killing one of the strangers in the second chapter, Maya (Madelaine Petsch -  Maintenance Required etc) was trying to run away from them when he met with Gregory (Gabriel Basso - The Night Agent TV series, A House of Dynamite etc), the only man left in the house she stayed for short while before. However, Maya encountered the strangers again while trying to escape out of Venus town.

(2025) Wildcat - A Disappointing Action Thriller Movie with Only the Action Sequence Worth Watching

Last week, this action thriller was released in Indonesia together with other movies that I already set my eyes on. It was not something that I was too interested in, but as I got spare time yesterday, I decided to give it a try by myself since I was not sure my wife would enjoy it. Anyway the movie played in quite a lot of cinemas in Jakarta, including the one just walking distance from my home. OK, I'll just get on with it then.

Brief Story Line

Ada (Kate Beckinsale - Jolt, Underworld movies etc) was a former Special Forces agent who had retired and decided to lead normal life with her only daughter Charlotte (Isabelle Moxley) while taking care of her depressed brother Edward (Rasmus Hardiker - Krypton TV series, Cockneys vs. Zombies etc). However, when Charlotte was kidnapped by London's strongest gangsters led by Frasier Mahoney (Charles Dance - The Day of the Jackal TV series, Godzilla II: King of the Monsters etc), Ada had no choice but to work together with her old friends from the forces, Roman (Lewis Tan - Mortal Kombat 2021 version, Shadow and Bones season 2 etc) and Curtis (Bailey Patrick - London Kills TV series etc) to perform a heist job on Frasier's competitor Christina Vine (Alice Krige - Star Trek: First Contact, The Rig season 2 etc).
