Video: WONDER MAN
EDITOR'S NOTE: For some unknown reason, Youtube no longer provides a link for me to share videos on my Blogger account. I'm not tech savvy, and have learned how to navigate various computer apps through trial and error. Until I figure out how to correct this, I can only provide a link to the video. Which leads me to reconsider whether I'll continue to feature film and music videos on this blog. Without the images, they are less interesting.
WONDER MAN on Disney+: A very odd and quirky offering from the Marvel superhero universe, which is why I appreciate it. This is more about an actor trying to break into Hollywood films and befriending an equally down-on-his luck performer - - and the extent to which their friendship will go. Doesn't have flashy costumes or big action scenes, not even an origin story for how Simon gets his powers. Just drama and comedy, and better for it. THREE AND ONE HALF STARS.
Video: TALAMASCA, THE SECRET ORDER
TALAMASCA, THE SECRET ORDER on AMC: Another entry in the Anne Rice INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE UNIVERSE that showed promise but (for me) failed to live up to its full potential. Just whenever it was building suspense and tension to engaging levels, it would break the mood with scene changes. Still worth watching, if you liked the other series. But not equal to the level of INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. Doesn't end with a satisfying conclusion, just leaves the door open for more (and not sure it will be renewed). We also have the upcoming LESTAT THE VAMPIRE to look forward to from AMC network in 2026. THREE STARS.
