Companion review

Do you have that problem where someone is always asking you to watch a romantic movie but the movie has too much of that, ya know, love and romance? I just might have the solution you’ve been looking for in this week’s movie “Companion.” This movie is a romantic movie in marketing only to perhaps help you get your special someone to watch it with you. Then you’ll both get to watch how the movie spins its head and becomes a twisted, malevolent, bloody, yet funny, series of devious plot twists. What kicks off the movie is Josh (Jack Quaid) and Iris (Sophie Thatcher) traveling out to a remote lake house to just have a weekend hang with Josh’s buddies. It’s a fun, casual environment as they all eat, drink and be merry. Josh and Iris are getting along swimmingly with everyone else. Then something deadly happens and Josh and company have to go into “we’re on a mission” mode before any devious plans are revealed and more people die. Who will live? Who will die? Who will try this apple pie I just made? Is it worth finding out? Check out this episode to see. “Companion” also stars Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillen, Rupert Friend, Jaboukie Young-White, Matt McCarthy, Marc Menchaca, Woody Fu and Ashley Lambert.

The Creator review

AI, or artificial intelligence, is a top of mind subject nowadays. The Creator tells the story of a war between humans and AI in the future. Also, it’s about how one man, Joshua, who’s sent to spy on and destroy AI finds himself conflicted. Why? Because the ultimate AI weapon is a 6 year old little girl AI robot. After discovering that he just can’t bring himself to kill her, they go on a journey with the military and AI forces all hunting them down. This is directed by Gareth Edwards who also directed the 2014 Godzilla movie and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Check out my spoiler-free review to see if it’s worth watching at the theater. The Creator stars John David Washington, Madeleine Yuna Voyles, Gemma Chan, Allison Janney, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, Amar Chadha-Patel, Marc Menchaca, Robbie Tann, Ralph Ineson, Michael Esper, Veronica Ngo, Ian Verdun, Daniel Ray Rodriguez.
