Hell On Wheels Series Review

One Of The Best Series I've Seen

Hell On Wheels is without a doubt one of the best tv shows I've ever seen! This show was during AMC's golden years, and boy was this amazing! I honestly can't stress enough about how great this western series is.

Hell On Wheels follows Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), a former confederate solider as he seeks revenge for the death of his family due to the hands of union soldiers. What he doesn't expect, is that it leads him to the rail road where he and along with many others must go through hell of love, death, and all the drama in between.

I can't understate how amazing this show really is. I'm not going to name the actors because there are to many great ones to list and I fear dear reader, it would take up this entire post.

I honestly have never been much of one for westerns, but I don't mind them. If you yourself aren't big into them, I'll tell you this, watch Hell On Wheels.

There is so much depth to these characters, and you get so invested in them, but be warned dear viewer, not everyone will make it to the end of the series alive.

Anson Mount is flawless in his role of Cullen Bohannon. I think he was born to play this character. Cullen Bohannon isn't always a good man, but he is always an honorable one.

I think the show has a bit of guts to make it's lead character a Confederate veteran. How many movies or shows do you know that would make the main character a Confederate veteran? It's an interesting perspective which isn't really shown in film.

I don't think there was a single bad episode in this entire series, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Each episode took hold of me and wouldn't let me go. Each character was so well done, I became invested in just about all of them.

I hope Anson Mount will do more work in the Western genre, because he truly is perfect for it. I know I've mentioned this before, but honestly he's fantastic!

There is so much to love about this show, but I don't think I have the time to write about all of it, because it would end up being a small book. I applaud everyone that worked on Hell On Wheels, and I wish them the best.

If you've been looking for just a good show to watch and you have no idea what to watch next, then I tell you this, if you don't watch it then you will regret not seeing, Hell On Wheels.

final score: 5/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was phenomenal, the cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
