Forrest Gump Review

Since a character from this movie is covered in this blog, then I might as well get to covering this movie in this blog for a random post at some point in time. I had the chance to see this so I might as well get this done and watch the movie.

 

We begin with a man picking up a magical seeming flying feather that fell to him that is then put in his briefcase. His name is Forrest and he talks to a random woman on a bus stop bench. He offers her some chocolates. I’m not sure why he’s randomly talking to her about things.

 

Thinking back to when he was a kid, he remembers having magic shoes. He had a walking issue. He was named after the leader of the Klu Klux Klan. But people do things that don’t make sense. He is told that he is no different by his mother, but someone insists that he is different with an IQ of 75. He has a below average intelligence. The person there doesn’t want him to attend the school.

 

He is told that his father is on vacation. His mother says that vacation is when someone leaves and does not come back. There are a lot of guests that come to this house. It turns out that a man there was Elvis. Forrest sees him later on TV.

 

He continues talking despite a seeming lack of interest that others might have in what he’s talking about to them. We all know someone like that, right? He is about to board a bus, but doesn’t right away since he was told not to take rides from strangers. He learns who this person is and then gets on the bus. But different boys on the bus don’t want him to sit next to them. A girl named Jenny offers him her seat. And that’s one of the many reasons why females are better than males.

 

Jenny and Forrest often spend time together with Jenny not wanting to be home most of the time. Her mother is revealed to be dead. They are on a road when three bullies on bikes decide to chase Forrest. He is able to run much faster than them, losing his leg braces, not needing them anymore. He decided to run everywhere when he needed to go somewhere.

 

Forrest thinks that Jenny’s father was kissing and touching her and her sisters. The police took her away from her father and had her stay with her grandparents. She still came over to his house at times. Later, the same bully kids chase a now older Forrest and he can still outrun them even though they are in a car now instead of bikes. While getting away from them, he runs across a football field which gets him into college to play football. He is at the University of Alabama.

 

Governor George Wallace stood in front of the doorway to black people from going to this school. Forrest is there to see this happen. George wound up getting shot, but survived this encounter. The original lady leaves and is replaced by another one that Forrest continues to talk to.

 

He is later seen visiting Jenny in a college that was just for women only. He beats a man named Billy who he thought was hurting Jenny. Billy leaves because of this. Since they were out in the rain, she takes him to her room and takes off some of her wet clothes in front of him. He doesn’t seem ready for much else in terms of a relationship with her just yet.

 

Forrest gets to meet President John F Kennedy as an all American football player. Someone shot both Kennedy and his brother. He gets a college degree later. He is then approached by someone who thinks that he should join the army. He takes a bus ride on a scene like the one where he met Jenny. This time, it is a black man named Bubba that lets him sit next to him after other white men refused.

 

He says that he should follow what the drill sergeant says to which the sergeant says that he’s a genius. He also does something very quickly. Meanwhile, Bubba goes through all the different types of shrimp that there are. Perhaps there is shrimp glockenspiel.

Jenny was kicked out of school over appearing in Playboy. Jenny is then seen by Forrest singing naked with a guitar in front of her. Forrest, as usual, is obvious to some of what is really going on. He doesn’t like the some of the men there tried to grab her and tries to interfere. She leaves the place, somehow getting clothes back on during this time, and talks to him again. She wants to get away from him. He then reveals that he’s going to Vietnam. Also, am I the only one annoyed with how it is pronounced in this movie? Anyways, he and other people are gathered there at Vietnam with it very different in some ways from where he was.

 

It is here that they meet Lieutenant Dan Taylor. He is from a family where every member had died in one of the American wars that was going on. He mentions some of the other members there on the field in the troop with him. Bubba wants Forrest to go into the shrimping business with him. Forrest would write to Jenny during his time there. She starts spending time with hippies around this time.

 

The months long rain ends just in time for Forrest and his troops to be ambushed. He runs away, but then goes back for Bubba. He couldn’t find him, but does find other troop members. He puts them all together in one place. Dan is found and wants to be left. They use some weird sort of thing that looks like a phone that apparently existed and worked like that over a radio somehow. I wonder who I could talk to about something like that. Forrest does find Bubba and takes him out of there. This was the last time that the two of them talked. That’s all that he had to say about that.

 

He was wounded and got ice cream there. Dan rejects ice cream himself. He notices that a lot of, if not all of, the letters that he wrote to Jenny were returned. He then starts to play ping pong. Dan does not like being a crimple with his legs being gone now. He feels that Forrest robbed him of his destiny.

 

Forrest gets the Medal of Honor. He also notices that Dan was sent him. President Lyndon B Johnson gives him this medal himself. Forrest stays around in Washington D.C. He is sent around different places in the crowded area and winds up in a place where a big speech is being given near the Washington Monument. The one thing that he wants to say is caught off when someone messes with the sound system and no one can hear what he was saying. While there, Jenny shows up and they reunite.

 

Once again, Jenny is abused in some way, this time by being slapped, and Forrest beats this person in return. Things are once again okay between the two of them as they spend a lot of time together. She leaves again with the same possibly abusive lover, Wesley.

 

The moon landing happened in the background while Forrest returns to play ping pong. He is shown on a talk show with John Lennon. They reference the song Imagine while yet another person that Forrest had crossed paths with winds up shot. Dan is irritated over Forrest getting the Congressional Medal of Honor and winds up living off of the government in some ways. He’s in a wheelchair now. He seems to think that people only talk about Jesus there. He seems to reject this idea.

 

Forrest wants to be a shrimp boat captain to honor his promise to Bubba. Dan laughs at this idea. There is a New Year celebration going on. He is later seen meeting President Nixon. Nixon wants him to take a room at the Watergate hotel that was new at the time. He notices people breaking in there and reports it, not knowing the full story about it as usual. His service in the army ended next, with him going home next as a result.

 

He is back at his home for a moment. He then meets with Bubba’s family and talks to his grave. Forrest isn’t good at shrimping at first. He names the boat after Jenny. Jenny thinks about killing herself, but doesn’t go through with it.

 

Forrest sees Dan at a dock and gets off of his boat to see him. Dan wants to be his first mate which is part of his promise. I guess that even sarcastic promises have to be kept. Forrest starts going to church. The boat goes through a storm. Forrest thinks that this is when God showed up. Forrest is scared. Dan seems happy with Forrest thinking that he’s angry instead. Their boat is the only one that survived the hurricane, with them making a huge profit as a result. He’s a millionaire, which another of the changing people thinks is a lie. Dan finally thanks Forrest for saving his life.

 

A call is heard that his mother is doing poorly. She winds up dying of cancer. He gets an investment with Apple, which he thinks is a fruit company. He keeps thinking of Jenny. One day, she shows up again. She throws things at an old house there. They spend a lot of time together. He proposes to her. But she does not want to marry him. They wind up having sex before she returns to Wesley, it seems.

 

This leads Forrest to run a whole lot. He keeps running over and over again. He is somehow able to do this with much money or other things happening as well. He keeps running. People can’t quite make sense of this. People start running with him for no good reason. He also winds up giving people some ideas for things that they make a lot of money off of. He keeps running for over three years. He then just stops running and goes back home.

 

We finally learn why Forrest is there at the bus stop. He got a letter from Jenny about where to go and decided to meet up with her. He gets to her house and she apologizes in some ways over what she had done wrong. He learns that she’s a mother. She reveals that he’s the father of this child who is named after him. Jenny is sick. She proposes marriage, which he agrees to. Dan shows up to this. Dan can walk with custom made legs. They do get married. She does wind up dying later. Their child winds up doing fine. He talks more to her grave, getting emotional. He misses her. He sees his son off going to school with a random feather there flying away, ending the movie.

 

If it isn’t clear by now, I like the movie or else I probably wouldn’t have reviewed it. It was once my neighbor’s old movie until she gave it away to me along with a bunch of others. After watching it the first time, I knew that this would make a good post for this blog should I ever need one for it. This does seem to cover a lot of topics over the years and it is interesting that one person could attend a lot of them. Not all of the movie seems to make sense though. Why does he just ramble on with his story to just anyone sitting next to him not caring when people change? And I don’t like how they keep cutting off the songs they just started. But it is a good and iconic film. I recommend it.

 

Well, things have changed with my blogs again if you couldn’t tell by now by seeing this random post on a Saturday. I will be alternating this blog and another on Saturday. This should continue until you see an entire month of this blog on every Saturday the whole month until it goes back to normal. We’ll see if that happens or not. Stay tuned for more updates in one of my blogs about it. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 10-9-2022

Sigh. I don’t know how to best express my misfortune over the fact that yet another cast update of this blog is now incomplete once again. Since this is two in a row, this means that I have to make the next one complete or else I must stop doing these cast updates. It seems almost like a curse. Speaking of curses, there is potential sports watching curse that affects me sometimes where the team that I want to win a game doesn’t win if I simply watch any of the game. This doesn’t always take place.

 

Also, if people were confused with how this blog is updated now in relation to other blogs, with both my blogs on Madam Secretary and The Good Wife on Saturdays, I am considering whichever of them are posted first to be the first Good Wife blog post of the month (even if it is the Madam Secretary blog updated first) to be the first blog of the month making this one the first available Sunday of the month for this blog. I did not update this blog last week because it was a different blog that wasn’t the two of them, if that makes sense.

 

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She does a lot, or at least did in the past. We’ll see what all she will do in the future regarding shows she does. A new project that I see her as doing is Severance. She also seems to be in High Desert. Another project of hers that she is now doing is a project called Gonzo Girl.

 

Severance: This is a TV show. It is out now. The plot is about a company that is trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet movie database. That involves splitting their minds into two in a way. Here is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTqlZkvbNVg

 

Thoughts on trailer: Maybe this is the only trailer or maybe there will be more. Anyways, from what I can tell of this, it might be trying to go for something, but also doesn’t seem entirely original, even though I couldn’t tell you what else this might be like. It could be an interesting show or it could be very confusing. Are they really doing this of their own free will? It seems otherwise. I hope for more clarification later. But this could be a good show that I might never see.

 

High Desert: This is set for release sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.

 

Gonzo Girl: This has no release date yet or trailer. It is about a struggling writer having to work as an assistant for a novelist with a reputation. This seems similar to stuff that might already exist, but could be fine outside of that.

 

Peter MacNicol: I can’t find much ever, if anything, for this actor. I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing. So I came up with this one until the next project he’s in. He will also be in Home Delivery.

 

Home Delivery: In this movie, apparently a fat model is expecting her first child. It might not sound too weird or whatever. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. I’ll have to see it to see if this might be good or not.

 

James Van Der Beek: There’s nothing to add for him. It’s interesting how things change. He went from having so many projects that I started cutting one project from this blog because of him and now he does not have any to cover in this blog at all.

 

Shad Moss: Since there’s no future known projects of his to keep track of for the foreseeable future, I’m going to cover one of his music videos in each of these blog posts for the next set of blog posts in this section until he does something worth covering in this blog again. I won’t do this in every blog post in case I don’t have time for it. I’ll try not to have that problem if possible.

 

Thank You featuring Jagged Edge, Fundisha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lzIpB5jhLE

 

Thoughts on video: This is a pretty good song. The rap works and it isn’t dirty or too repetitive. I like this song and wish that they would make more rap songs like it. What else can I say? This one is good.

 

Charley Koontz: He will be in something called Eat Your Heart Out. He is also now in something called Frank and Penelope. He will also be in Long December. Another thing that he will be in is a National Treasure TV show.

 

Eat Your Heart Out: This has an unknown date of release at the moment. The plot will be a bit complicated as someone literally gave his heart away and needs to get it back in order to marry someone else. Seems strange, but I might like it. Still, it is a short and I don’t know how I’d be able to watch any of those. There’s a trailer for it now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfJTMnCT7Ps

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks kind of weird, but I guess that it works as an idea of what they can do with a film like this. I don’t know why a heart would be in pieces and can only hope that the cat didn’t eat any of them. I guess I’ll see if I can see what the short film is like if I’m able to see it.

 

Frank and Penelope: I don’t quite understand the plot of it yet. It seems like a man will fall in love with a stripper and that turns his life around somehow. This is out now. There is no trailer for this yet. I think that this is a movie.

 

Long December: This has no trailer at the time. It also has no release date. The plot right now relates to a struggling music artist trying to succeed at what he wants to do as the year comes to an end. That’s all that I can make sense of right now regarding it.

 

National Treasure: Edge of History: This has a subtitle now, but what I know about the role that Charley has in this, I know that this isn’t something worth keeping in this blog anymore. He is only set to appear in the second episode. He is also going to do the same with The Rookie: Feds, but the fifth episode of that instead. I figured for a while now that he was only appearing briefly in this and now it is official and not worth keeping track of in this blog anymore.

 

Hayley Kiyoko: With no music videos that I can think of worth mentioning in this blog and all of her time being spent on music and not TV shows or movies, I don’t know if there is much to add in this section at the moment, but will keep it here for now and hope that she does something new.

 

Ted Danson: Surely his time off of TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that happens soon or not. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see. He is in Curb Your Enthusiasm and that’s about it for now.

 

Curb Your Enthusiasm: This is a TV show on HBO. There isn’t too much to add to this section other than the fact that I would like to see this if only to see what this is about and if it is as good as people think that it is. Ted has been on it ever since it returned.

 

Anthony E Zuiker: After all of this time wondering if the creator of one of TV’s longest running franchises is ever going to work again, I see him listed as the producer in a project. He is set to help make something called Spearfinger. And there is good news in that he will have involvement in CSI: Vegas so his franchise remains in his hands.

 

Spearfinger: This has no release date at this time. I think that it will be a movie. It is about a Native American legend regarding a woman with sharp fingers who would like to frighten people. There might need to be more to the plot than that, so we will see for sure what will happen with this project later as more information becomes available.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21^st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates. Notable People- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. Pros- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Carol Mendelsohn: I will tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in these updates for her. I have no idea if there is something that she will be in, but I plan to keep track of what’s going on with her in the off chance that she does appear in something new. It turns out that she’s a producer in CSI: Vegas.

Ann Donahue: I have no idea how I missed this, but she’s in the new CSI: Vegas as well. I should have all of the main three CSI creators in this as they are all involved in some way (although, maybe not as much Anthony, which is weird), shape, or form. Still, enjoy this section on her that you’ve seen before with other people.

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies as far as I can tell. I think that he’s busy with stage work, the likes of which I will never see, probably. It turns out that he is still a producer of CSI: Vegas.

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. This is because he is retired from acting. I’ll still keep him in the updates in case there is a change and he does wind up doing something notable in the future.

 

Gary Sinise: He has projects in the works like No Better Place to Die. That’s all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future what else he might do. It could be a lot still or not that much in the end.

 

No Better Place to Die: This movie is about part of a battle during World War II. It has no release date or trailer at the moment. To date, Gary’s role is the only one that is in the movie right now and even his is just rumored so we’ll see what happens.

 

Anthony LaPaglia: I don’t know much else he could be doing as that doesn’t show up right now. Maybe he will do more or maybe not. One can only hope that he does more, but maybe he doesn’t need to. He’ll be in Florida Man. He’ll be in Antibody Heat.

 

Florida Man: This is a TV show set for release sometime in 2022. It’s about a former cop who returns to Florida and gets a case that winds up lasting way longer than you’d think that it should be. I’m unsure what network it will be on or if it will be in America or not. I can only hope that I can see it, or maybe not given my lack of time for things.

 

Antibody Heat: This is a comedy about the pandemic because that storyline hasn’t been done to death after production on shows resumed. Didn’t Connecting try this already? Anyways, it has no release date or trailer just yet.

 

Laurence Fishburne: He’ll be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. He’ll be in another thing called Blacksmith. Yet another thing he’ll be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is doing are The School for Good and Evil, John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, MacGruber, and Slingshot. A long delayed thing he might be in is Black Water Transit. And, since he cannot possibly be in enough things at once, he will also be in The Sterling Affairs. Other new things he will be in are Megalopolis as well as Frank & Louis. That better be all for now. He does too much.

 

Rendlesham: This has no release date just yet. The plot relates to probably aliens in the 80s in England. I have no idea what network it might air on just yet. Hopefully, I will find out more about this in the future. We’ll see if this really is aliens or is something else entirely.

 

Blacksmith: This has an unknown release date. In it, a man becomes a fugitive when his lab is destroyed. Hopefully, more will be revealed beyond that in the future and I hope that we’ll find out more then in the future. It could be cool if it is made and comes out.

 

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It looks like it would be a kid’s show based off of these characters and would be animated. There is not much else to say about this as I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on yet and too much of this is still unknown at the moment. There is a trailer for this that I will get into now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy49g1E9_Uo

 

Thoughts on trailer: What am I even supposed to make of this? I’d have to say that I’m not sure that I’d want to watch this, but am waiting for a better trailer to take this one’s place to see if that would work instead. This seems too weird.

 

The School for Good and Evil: In this planned movie, boys are girls are taken to a place and trained to be either heroes or villains. It is set for release on October 21, 2022. This could be interesting or could be generic. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchh-qezCOI

 

Thoughts on trailer: I wish that there could be more information in the trailer. I guess that we’ll have to wait until we get to future potential ones. I don’t think that there is too much else to say exception wondering what some of the mythology of this is.

 

John Wick Chapter 4: This has nothing much revealed about it other than being a film in this series. I have no idea what this series is about. I only know that it exists. This is set to be released on March 24, 2023. Maybe I’ll have to do more research into this franchise now and if I’ll even be able to see the first three movies if I even like the fourth one. (Of course, I have to make sure that I don’t judge a movie too much if I haven’t seen over movies in the franchise first, as I had that issue initially with The Bourne Supremacy, having not seen the first movie in the franchise when I saw it.) There is a trailer for this that I will get into now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27EF723ZDmI

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting and exciting. I just hope that it doesn’t go too heavy on the action that there isn’t much of a plot and thus reason for all of the action. We’ll also see if this makes sense without having seen the rest of the films of the franchise just yet.

 

Sneaks: In this animated movie, we see to see sneakers try to return to their owners. The release date is unknown. What else is there to say about this for now? I have no idea, but hope that we will see a lot more of this in the future.

 

MacGruber: This will be on Peacock, a streaming service. I might have to use that account again. It is out now. This is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch which is a parody of MacGyver. I wasn’t sure how they got a whole movie out of it and now they are doing a whole show?

 

Review: Show Description- MacGruber is released from jail to help out with more cases that the government needs help with. Behind the Scenes- This is inspired by a Saturday Night Live sketch that’s a parody of MacGyver. It features some of the same people from both like Will Forte, who was also in The Last Man on Earth, and Kristen Wiig. Also in this is Laurence Fishburne. It is also a continuation of the movie. My Thoughts- This seems random and vulgar. It can be very inappropriate. But it has its moments of humor as well and could be worth seeing if only to find out what happens after the first episode. I give it three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This might last, but I’m honestly not sure if it will. I say that for now, it could. I’ll see what happens later. Where to Find- This is streaming on Peacock

 

Slingshot: This is about a mission to Saturn’s moon Titan with issues going on in the space movie. Is there any space movie that doesn’t have issues going on with it? I know that there has to be some sort of conflict. There is no release date of this yet.

 

Black Water Transit: In this movie, lots of criminals and law enforcement meet in regards to a shipment of illegal guns that a man is trying to get to his family’s safe haven. It was mostly filmed a long time ago so hopefully it will finally see the light of day. It doesn’t have a trailer. And, true to it being part of development hell, has no release date.

 

The Sterling Affairs: This has a release year of 2022. It has no trailer just yet. It is about the downfall of Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. It feels like a lot of shows, like this one (a miniseries), are about the downfall of someone or something. It doesn’t feel like we get enough stories of people gaining good things, like the movie that exists called American Underdog.

 

Megalopolis: This has no release date yet or trailer. The plot of this relates to New York City suffering a terrible disaster and then someone wanting to rebuild it. Ted Mosby to the rescue! It better be him. Or maybe it should be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

Frank & Louis: This has no release date or trailer yet. It does sound interesting and something that I’d like to see. In it, a prisoner serving a life sentence deals with people who are suffering from memory loss. The plot might get obvious from there, but it still seems like it could be a heartfelt film.

 

Melina Kanakaredes: She will be in a movie called Wake. That is all that I see her in at the moment. She has done a lot of TV roles, be it main or recurring, so I hope to see more of her in the future. Until then, I’ll report what I know of what she’s done.

 

Wake: This has an unknown release date at this moment. Its main focus is on a lie of some sort that tore people apart. Something interesting must happen beyond that. I just don’t yet know what that will be. I look forward to seeing it, hopefully.

 

Kristen Bell: She is doing a whole lot still. Let’s see if I can cover all of what’s she’s done since The Good Place ended. She will also be in a reboot of Gossip Girl. Yet another thing that I see now is called Molly and the Moon. She should also be in The People We Hate at the Wedding. Also, it turns out that Family Game Fight is back. One last thing that she will be in, for now, is Zootopia+.

 

Gossip Girl: This is an HBO Max reboot. I never understood the appeal of that show back then and am perfectly fine not seeing this on cable or anywhere else. I do not know if I know anyone whom I could borrow the original series from, although I will not rule that out. Also, didn’t they reveal who Gossip Girl was? Is there going to be a new person doing that in the reboot or are we just expected to forget what’s been revealed in this show already? This is streaming now.

Thoughts on trailer: Well, it seems like there are some aspects that could be interesting to me, but most of this is not something that I care for. I never liked the idea of the original show, but never actually gave it a chance in the end. This seems like it is focused too much on sex and other aspects of life that I’m just not that interested in seeing on this show that I wouldn’t care to watch anyways. It’s a good thing, then, that I won’t be able to see it.

 

Enjoy this review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPQ4nuIe0ck

 

Molly and the Moon: This has a currently unknown release date. It is said to be a musical and appears to be written by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. (Do people still like them after they ended that show?) There is no known plot of this at the time. Maybe it will be a movie, but could be something else. Too much of this on imdb is vague right now.

 

The People We Hate at the Wedding: The title explains a lot of this as a family has conflict leading up to a wedding. I don’t think that there’s much else that one could say about that. It has a release date of November 18, 2022. It is based off of a book.

 

Family Game Fight: I’m not going to say much about this as you can check the archives of this blog until I have time to return to my TV blog which has the duplicate review of this that I can put back in this blog. Anyways, it is on hiatus.

 

Zootopia+: I don’t know yet if she will appear in more than one episode of this. What I do know is that this is a continuation of the movie of the same name (- the +). It is set for release on November 9, 2022.

 

Marg Helgenberger: One of the benefits to missing stuff in the updates is that she was going to be in a pilot that was not picked up so I won’t have to waste time putting any of that in the blog and then taking it back out again. She will be returning for more of All Rise. She’s set to be in CSI: Vegas now.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21^st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates. Notable People- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. Pros- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Rory Cochrane: It looks like he will appear in projects in the future. Something new he is doing is Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. He’ll also be in Boston Strangler. I have no idea what else he might do in the future.

 

Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: This is out now. I’m not sure yet what network or streaming service this might air on just yet. But I do know that this is a planned show about the 1980s Lakers. It has a trailer now:

 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYOlUZrHRT8

 

Thoughts on trailer: This has an intentional retro feel to it that seems odd right now. I don’t think that there’s enough basketball in the trailer, although this isn’t the full one as far as I can tell. Also, is it just me or are they putting nearly everything on HBO Max nowadays? I hope that the style format or whatever they chose for this isn’t too weird as I don’t know if I’d like to watch a show that looks like that the whole time. I don’t think that there’s too much else to say about that right now. I hope that there is a trailer to see at some point, although this might be it.

 

Boston Strangler: This has a release year of 2023. It has no trailer yet either. But it does have a plot of a pair of women who broke the story of, well, the Boston Strangler and report on this person. We’ll see if this is anything like Big Sky. It wouldn’t be bad if it were more like how that show started out and not what that show is like now.

 

Carmine Giovinazzo: He is now doing a project called Un$uited. Hopefully I’ll see more of what he’s doing in the future. It turns out that he will also have a role in High Desert. That’s all that I see him doing at the moment in time.

 

Un$uited: This is a show about someone who wants to become a professional poker player before finding out just how much he sucks at it. It has no release date yet or trailer. I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on.

 

High Desert: This is set for release sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb. Since his role in this appears to be limited, I’m going to cut this from his projects, but leave this around for Patricia Arquette’s projects.

 

Eric Close: After seeming to do only Christmas related things for a while, he is now set to star in The Mulligan. I look forward to seeing what else he might do in the end besides that. He is set to be in Investors. And that’s it for now.

 

The Mulligan: This seems to relate to golf in some ways, but is about far more than just that in the end. But I’d have to wait and see to know more about it. It is out now. I don’t know what else there is to say about it right now. There’s a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khUF-xrXDiU

 

Thoughts on trailer: I’m not sure that I understand this entirely. This is related to God and Christianity? And it has been out a while? I guess that there are lessons to be learned because, of course there are. I don’t know what else there is to say about this.

 

Investors: This doesn’t have a release date yet. It also doesn’t have a trailer. But it does have a plot: an investor who cares too much about winning that he might lose more than just whatever the investments relate to. We’ll see if this is predictable or not.

 

William Jackson Harper: He is doing something called Dogs in Space. He is also in Love Life. He’ll also be in The Resort and Landscape with Invisible Hand. Two more things that he will be in are Jodie and A Man in Full.

 

Dogs in Space: This is a TV show. It is available now. The plot of it relates to genetically enhanced dogs trying to find a new planet called home. It is a kid’s show that is animated. I wonder what lessons there will be to learn from it.

 

First episode link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UqQc9Uz0U

 

Review: Show Description- Dogs are sent into space to find a new home for humans to live on. Behind the Scenes- This is a Netflix show. It stars William Jackson Harper from The Electric Company and The Good Place. My Thoughts- This is interesting and well done. It puts a lot of detail into world building and character development. I will admit, though, that it can seem cliché and a bit predictable in some places. Still, I give this four stars out of five. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not. Where to Find- This is a Netflix show, although the first episode is for free on YouTube as linked above

 

Love Life: This is about romance and it is a comedy. It’s also a TV show this is on HBO Max for its streaming subscribers. William’s character has to be an important one as he is the sole person on the poster for at least this season.

 

Review: Status- Currently on HBO. Why I’ve seen it- I have a blog that covers things for certain actors and this was one of the projects that they were in. Description- I’m a bit unsure of this since the episode wasn’t entirely clear, but it seems to be a drama about the relationships of some people. Notable People- William Jackson Harper, from The Good Place and The Electric Company, is the possible star of this. Pros- Its plot isn’t that easy to predict. Cons- There was a lot in here that I didn’t like. It seems to have people not be that faithful to who they should be with. It wasn’t good or funny. There was nothing in here that made me want to watch it a second time even if I could. Note to Parents- While I doubt that the episode that I saw was certain to be as tame as the rest of them are, I would have to say that you shouldn’t let kids watch this at all. Recommendation- Don’t watch this at all. My Viewing Habits- I watched this once and won’t be seeing this again. Prediction- I can’t make predictions often about shows that aren’t on network TV so I’ll just say that this could last or might not. Reception: positive. Grade: F.

 

The Resort: This relates to true crime and a conspiracy to it relating to love. Unofficial sources says that this will be on Peacock, but as of yet, that is unconfirmed by me. It has a trailer that I’m delaying to get to until the next cast update. It is out now. If I can review it, I’ll get to it at some point in time.

 

Landscape with Invisible Hand: This is about teenagers who seek to save the world from aliens that control the economy. Stupid white people. Wait, these are from outer space. It has no release date yet or trailer. But it does sound interesting.

 

Jodie: This is a spin-off of the show Daria, of which I know little about. It does not have much of a plot beyond that right now. It has no release date at this moment. I guess that I will have to find out more about this later.

 

A Man in Full: The plot of this relates to a mogul facing a bankruptcy and defending his empire. There’s not much else to say about this until a trailer is released. There is no release date yet. I guess that I’ll have to see that in the future, if it gets made.

 

Simone Missick: She will be in a project called Hanging by a Thread. All Rise was picked up for a third season by OWN after all. I’m still including her in the updates for now, but plan to skip All Rise in the rotation of new people added to this blog (outside of confirmed former cast members and maybe the original showrunner) to avoid confusion until it ends for real in the future.

 

Hanging by a Thread: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a bipolar man who wants to enforce his medicine free ways on his nephew who is also bipolar. This seems like it could have a lesson or just be really strange. Hopefully the lesson is not what the uncle wants to have happen.

 

Gary Dourdan: He is doing a lot of projects. One of them is Zero. A second is The Lost Princess. A third thing that he’s doing is The Sand Sea. A fourth thing that he is doing is Thebes. A fifth thing that he is doing is Mnemonix. A sixth thing that he is doing is Desdemona’s Revenge. A seventh thing that he is doing is Bonecrackers. That’s all of his for now.

 

The Sand Sea: This is a drama set in the 1920s about a woman seeking to find what had happened to her kidnapped twin. This has no release date yet or trailer. It sounds like it could be an interesting plot. I just hope that they have real twins playing the role, unless it isn’t identical twins. This isn’t on imdb anymore. I’m unsure if this is still a project, albeit without Gary in it.

 

Thebes: This is a movie about a detective looking for a missing teen from a small town and learns that there are dark secrets there and she’ll have to face her past in some way. Now while this sounds interesting, it also sounds like the plot for plenty of other movies that already exist. This has no release date or trailer yet.

 

Mnemonix: It is about a virus that killed half of human life while also creating a new form of life as well. It is set for release sometime in 2022. It could be interesting, even with the unoriginal elements of The Time Machine, Avengers: Infinity Wars, and The Crossing.

 

Desdemona’s Revenge: Not surprisingly, this has no release date yet. It also had no trailer at this moment either. It is about a pair of thieves and the people chasing them with the plot on imbd possibly spoiling the entirety of this short.

 

Bonecrackers: The plot appears to be about a crime family of sorts. It has no release date yet nor does it have a trailer. I can’t tell what all to make out about this without going too much into the potential plot. But expect a lot of deception going on with the characters.

 

Zero: While this doesn’t have a release date yet, it does have a release year of 2022. It does not have a trailer, but it does sound very interesting. People have ten hours to find out why they have bombs attached to themselves. It could be an interesting thriller.

 

The Lost Princess: This movie is about a person who is transported to the past through a vision and then leaves to find out about his past. This has no trailer yet. Its release date is currently unknown. I hope to find out more about this over time.

 

Sofia Milos: I’ll have to see what else she might do in the future. I look forward to covering what all she is doing next. She is set to appear in Astoria. That’s about it for her for now. But at least that’s something. She could be doing more.

 

Astoria: This has no release date yet or trailer. Set in part of Queens, it is about crime families dealing with drug running. I don’t think that I will like this and am better off without this. I don’t want to see shows or movies about drug running.

 

Vanessa Ferlito: She is currently set to be in Griselda. It is nice to finally see her now mentioned in something else since she hadn’t done anything for nearly a year now. So I guess we’ll see what becomes of this new project of hers.

 

Griselda: This has no release date mentioned yet. It also doesn’t yet have a trailer. But it does have a plot: Griselda Blanco created a profitable cartel. This would only be worth more of a story if this were true. Otherwise, it just sounds like bare elements of Breaking Bad but with a female lead (although it sounds very far from ripping that show off). Still, it can be hard sometimes to watch shows about criminals as I don’t like seeing terrible characters on TV.

 

Roselyn Sánchez: She has a major starring role in Fantasy Island. She is also starring in Gringa. Another thing that she’s currently in is Armas De Mujer. Those are the only things that I see of her right now. She has also appeared at times on Home Economics.

 

Fantasy Island: This is a remake of a show of the same name that aired a while back. It is a FOX show that is on hiatus right now. It is a bit hard to summarize and I don’t think that I care enough about it to watch it again in the future.

 

Review: Fantasy Island: Status- A FOX show, this is currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I tend to watch a new FOX show at least once nowadays. Noteworthiness- This is a remake of a show of the same name and might be set in the same universe as the new main character is said to be a descendent of the original one. Description- A woman brings people to an island with supernatural powers where they learn a life lesson under the guise of living a fantasy of theirs. Notable People- Roselyn Sánchez, from Without a Trace, among other things, is the main character of the show. Pros- It seems like a pretty decent show. It is good in enough ways. Cons- It may not be as interesting as I would like. A lot of this was confusing and didn’t make any sense to me. Some of this is too strange. Note to Parents- This has enough questionable stuff in it that probably isn’t good for kids, but some teens might be okay with it. Recommendation- I’d pass, but more because I don’t have time for it than anything. Prediction- I don’t know if this will last, although it might. I’d say that it will for now, but we’ll see if it does or not. It is hard for me to tell or make as much sense out of its ratings right now. Reception: somewhat favorable. Grade: D+.

 

Gringa: This could instead be called Halfway to Somewhere. It is a father and daughter coming of age comedy drama. I don’t know much about it other than that it doesn’t have a release date and it has no trailer yet either.

 

Armas De Mujer: This is a TV series that sounds quite interesting. It is about a group of women who have to deal with their husbands all being arrested for potentially being in the same criminal organization. It has been renamed ‘Til Jail Do Us Part. It is now available to watch on Peacock. I plan to review it next month, but not this one. And that’s provided that I can see it there at all. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCvV62VFA0s

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this could be fun in some cases, but also looks kind of dumb and predictable in others. I also can’t tell how much, if possibly all of this, is in Spanish. I guess I’ll see it next month if I hopefully have time for it and review it then.

 

Jameela Jamil: There are four things that she’s currently in right now. The first is DC League of Super-Pets. The second is She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The third is The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. The fourth is Pitch Perfect. The fifth is Poker Face. That is all for now.

 

DC League of Super-Pets: This is on DVD now. It is about Krypto the Super-Dog having to save his master Superman after Superman was kidnapped. Is there a rule that all Illumination Films have to use the exact same animation style? There is a trailer for this that I will talk about:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jkw2JPCl18

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this trailer could be a lot better than it is. The movie doesn’t look like it would be terrible or anything like that, but it is hard to tell and know for sure with this as the trailer. Seeming to focus more on “funny” parts than the plot of it and having an identical animation style to The Secret Life of Pets (same studio?), I’m hoping that it can actually be better than how parts of it look. If a trailer is supposed to be all of the best parts of it, then this movie’s going to suck.

 

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: This is available now. The plot is that a woman, namely Jennifer Walters, gets Hulk like powers. Who is Jennifer Walters? I guess that I’ll have to find out or see The Hulk movie that I still haven’t seen yet if that even explains. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gim2kprjL50

 

Thoughts on trailer: It seems like it could be a better trailer and look better than what it could be in the trailer. Maybe it will be good. I won’t know unless I wind up with Disney+ again or otherwise see this sometime. I have no idea what is with the sexist line about all women being angry. I also have no idea what’s wrong with dating in your 30s. And must there be hints about sex in this? I feel like putting a woman protagonist in any sexual situation seeks to take away from her potential power.

 

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight: This is about two people who fall in love on a flight together. It has no release date yet or trailer. I have no idea just how long this is as in if this is a short or a movie. I am pretty sure this is not a TV show and would bet money that this isn’t a video game.

 

Pitch Perfect: This is a TV show based on and continuing the movie series of the same name. It is set for release on November 23, 2022. It is about Bumper moving to Germany since one of his songs becomes big there. I guess that I might have to borrow any of the movies that I can to watch them so I know who Bumper even is in the first place.

 

Poker Face: There is no trailer for this yet. There’s no plot for it just yet. It is known that this will air on Peacock at some point in time. It is set for release in 2022. I guess we’ll see what happens with this in the future. It could be something or nothing.

 

Audrey Corsa: She is currently in two things. One is Poker Face. The second is Dear Edward. There’s not much that I can say about her work other than that. No idea why she isn’t back for more of All Rise, but this is her future career now.

 

Poker Face: There is no trailer for this yet. There’s no plot for it just yet. It is known that this will air on Peacock at some point in time. It is set for release in 2022. I guess we’ll see what happens with this in the future or maybe not.

 

Dear Edward: This is set for release sometime in 2023. This is a TV show where a boy loses his family in a plane crash and how various lives are affected as a result. I don’t know what network this will air on, but am expecting this to be on streaming given its low episode count for a first season.

 

George Eads: He hasn’t done much since leaving MacGyver. He may just not want to act as much anymore, although it can be hard to tell sometimes from people to people why they aren’t in much and how much of that is by choice.

 

Jonathan Togo: The last thing he acted in was a Christmas TV movie back in 2018. There has been nothing else that he has done since then that I can see. I guess this leaves me with one less person to keep track of while also including more people in this blog.

 

Hill Harper: He has been a regular in the show The Good Doctor since it first started. He is also set to be in Junction, The Requiem Boogie, and Modern Primitives. That’s all that I see him doing for now.

 

The Good Doctor: This show has been on ABC for nearly 100 episodes so far. I like it a lot, even if it goes beyond what it should sometimes in making medical sense. Anyways, if you want to know more about the show, read this review:

 

The Good Doctor: Status- Currently on ABC at 10/9 Central on Mondays. Why I’ve seen it- It looked like a pretty good show to me. Noteworthiness- This is an adaptation of a South Korean show. Description- A young doctor with autism starts working with other doctors and has to overcome stigma. Notable People- Hill Harper, from CSI: New York, stars on this show as well. David Shore, the creator of House, is also the creator of this show as well. Pros- This is wonderful with well written characters, plots, and overall believable medical situations. Cons- Not all the characters are nice people. I know that happens a lot and it can be needed at times, but it can still be a problem. Note to Parents- This is mostly acceptable for kids, but there are some problems with it in terms of what age can watch. I’d say that pre-teens and older should be good with this. Recommendation- I think that everyone should watch this. My Viewing Habits- I know that I have not seen every episode, but I have watched this as much as I can over the course of time and have been a fan of this from the first episode. I missed this show for a while due to work commitments. Prediction- This is getting good ratings for now so it will stay for as long as that lasts. Reception: mixed to positive. Grade: A+.

 

Junction: This is a movie that I’m guessing it made up that is talking about the opioid crisis from the perspectives of a pharmaceutical company CEO, a doctor, and a patient. It has no trailer yet and is set for release in 2023.

 

The Requiem Boogie: This has no release date or trailer yet. The plot of this on imdb needs to be improved. From what I understand of this, a star is trying to mourn the loss of his famous father, but people just want to make a reunion show instead. Could this even be a good thing in the end? I don’t know about that.

 

Modern Primitives: There is no plot for this known yet. There is no release date yet. There is no trailer for this yet. There is no cast outside of Hill Harper for this yet. We’ll see if anything ever becomes of this or if it just stays in development hell for a really long time, possibly forever.

 

Former projects: In this section, I will keep track of shows that people in this blog used to be mentioned in as doing in some way. I might keep track of other things too. This will be used to keep track of what shows might still be on even after someone has left it in some way. Dancing with the Stars is one of these shows. Since Shad Moss’s time in it is over, I’m including The Masked Singer in this part as well.

 

Dancing with the Stars- This is currently on Disney+. I watched it at least once to see what it’s like and because James Van Der Beak was on it. This is a reality competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts.

 

Review: Status- Currently on Disney+. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it since James Van Der Beek was in a season of it. Description- Celebrities team up with professional dancers to compete on a live show. Notable People- Carrie Ann Inaba, who was on The Talk, is a judge on the show. Pros- It can be better and more interesting than one might think, giving its genre. Cons- Too much time is wasted on this show due to set up to dances and other competitions. Note to Parents- Outside of sometimes inappropriate outfits, there might not be too much bad in the show, although you’d have to watch for yourself. Recommendation- This isn’t too bad, but isn’t outstanding either. The main reason why one wouldn’t want to watch it would be time commitment to other things. Prediction- This will probably keep lasting. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

The Masked Singer: I knew it was only a matter of time before someone that I covered in one of the cast updates was on this show. Thus, I’m going to include a review here. If I had to guess that anyone from any show I do cast updates of was going to appear on this show, I knew that it would probably be Shad Moss before it would be anyone else.

 

The Masked Singer review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- It turns out that Shad Moss, whose career I follow for a blog, was on the show so I watched it to see what it was like. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a South Korean show and is the first non Asian adaptation of the show. Description- Different celebrities in masks compete on a singing show where the loser gets unmasked. While all get unmasked at some point, the winner goes the longest without this fate. Notable People- Ken Jeong, from Community and Dr. Ken, is a judge on the show. Pros- This doesn’t have as bad a voting problem as other reality competition shows since what we see is always pretaped. Even if they aren’t professional singers, they can still be good. Cons- Some have complained that the results of voting is too random and can eliminate great professional singers from the game. Too much of this seems wasted on the banter between the judges and host or trying to guess the identities of the singers. Note to Parents- I haven’t seen enough of this to know if it is bad, but my guess is that this is something the whole family could watch. Recommendation- I think that it is a good show in the end and worth keeping up with if you don’t care much about anything else. My Viewing Habits- I saw this once in the third season before watching it a lot again in the fourth and fifth season. I don’t know yet if I will see it again due to scheduling conflicts. I probably won’t watch it again since someone was on it that I didn’t like at all to the point of wanting to give the show up forever as a result. Prediction- This will probably last quite a while since it is said to be the most watched show now. Reception: somewhat mixed. Grade: B-.

 

In order to keep track of new people, this post will share the theme songs from CSI: Vegas until I’ve shared all of them in this blog and I’ve caught up with it as a result. I wish that there were other theme songs that I could share from the past, but nothing else works at the moment.
