The Pliley Review

  Netflix Original - No copyright intended Genre: Science fiction TV, TV thrillers, TV horror Rating: TV MA When they announced another season of this revolution I was so excited. But then when it was released and only 8 episodes were included I was very upset. We waited so long and it wasn't even close to the same number as before.  The good side to the lack of amount was the quality this time around. Every single one of them earned at least a 6 or a higher in my opinion and many were just incredible. I felt like any of them could have been turned into full movies or more detailed TV shows.  Automated Customer Service = 7 out of 10 Ice = 7 out of 10 Pop Squad = 7.5 out of 10 Snow in the Desert = 8 out of 10 The Tall Grass = 8.5 out of 10  All Through the House = 7 out of 10  Life Hutch = 7.5 out of 10  The Drowned Giant = 6 out of 10 Final Thoughts These really were just incredible and each one was just so different from the last. This time around my fav...

  Netflix Original - No copyright intended.   Genre: Science Fiction TV, TV Thrillers, TV Horror Rating: TV MA At the time when season one of this crazy, mind-bending show appeared on Netflix, no one knew anything about it. The trailer was a mix of confusing yet beautiful images so our interest was peaked.  Volume/season one consisted of 18 short but impactful stories about love, death, and indeed robots. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I won't go into the detail about each one but there were many that I have watched several times since its original release. I have rated each episode on the same 1 to 10 scale. Now each one looked amazing and the storylines were interesting. If I scored it low, it could be it just was not for me, or I did not like the style etc.  Three Robots  = 5 out of 10  Beyond The Aquila Rift = 8 out of 10  Ice Age = 4 out of 10 Sonnie's Edge = 8 out of 10 When the Yogurt Took Over = 4 out of 10 The Secret War = 8 out of...

  Genre:  Action, Adventure, and Comedy Rating:  PG-13 for violence and some bloody images, suggestive material, partial nudity, and language. Synopsis:   A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure. I'm both a published author and a huge movie lover so this movie, immediately when I saw the trailer spoke to me on many levels. I got reminded of other authors going on adventures like Nim's Island and Romancing the Stone. Needless to say, I had high hopes. Still, I went into the movie holding my breath.  I am so relieved that this movie was freaking awesome. Every single person involved in this movie should win awards. There was action, comedy, romance, villains, and everything in between. My hubby loved the movie as well but felt a little disappointed towards the end. The great plot through out and I loved how the story progressed.  The cast was in...

  Genre: Action, adventure Rating: PG-13 for violence/action and language Synopsis:  Street-smart Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan, and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. As a family who loves the Uncharted video games this movie had a lot to live up to. The trailer looked promising and I personally was extremely excited.  Overall the movie is great. It has lots of funny, action-packed and heartwarming scenes. Sadly the name Uncharted just doesn't fit. It was an amazing action movie about lost treasure, which is great. The movie had a very similar feel to National Treasure and Indiana Jones so I'm not mad at it.  But the only similarity to Uncharted is that they used the names of the characters and had a cameo. The storyline was very close to one of the games but they ruined it by changing major parts. Without spoilers, one person who should have played key roles...

  Genre: Science Fiction, action, adventure, drama Rating:  PG-13 Synopsis: A noble family becomes embroiled in a war for control over the galaxy's most valuable asset while its heir becomes troubled by visions of a dark future. Dune is a science fiction classic. If you have not watched the previous movie or read the book then this is going to be an adventure for you.  The synopsis explains the movie very well, however, if you are unfamiliar with the material it does well-explaining things, however, there are a few scenes that may be confusing. I should also let you know that this is a part one situation. At the time I watched the movie I was unaware of this and being so into what was going on, it came as a shock.  That being said this movie is amazing. I am someone who has read the book and watched the old movie so I knew what was happening. However, this version really kicked up all the action scenes and brought the emotion of each situation perfectly. You hate t...

  Genres:   Action, Sci-Fi Rated  R Synopsis:  Return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. So before I go into this I just wanted it known that I love Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and the other cast members of the original Matrix movie. The 2nd, Matrix Reloaded, and 3rd, Matrix Revolutions, movies were hit or miss as far as I'm concerned, as both had good and bad points.  Sadly this new movie was 10% amazing and a huge 90% meh.  I can understand in some respects what they were trying to achieve, and some scenes in particular, mostly with Keanu and Carrie-Anne were amazing. Unfortunately, they came after an incredibly slow start and middle and with little reward towards the end.  Keanu and Carrie-Anne did an amazing job with their scenes. And returning from the original tr...

  Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-Fi Rated PG-13  Synopsis:  With Spider-Man's identity now revealed, our friendly neighborhood web-slinger is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life as Peter Parker from the high stakes of being a superhero. When Peter asks for help from Doctor Strange, the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man. After the final scene of the last spiderman movie I have to admit I was not looking forward to this one. I had no idea how they were going to move forward after Peter was outed as the friendly neighborhood spiderman.  In all honesty, I put off watching this for the longest time because of it, and now I, one million percent, regret waiting.  Tom Holland is a fantastic spiderman. This movie shows his acting skills on many levels and not just the over-the-top teen-in-love stereotype. Zendaya crushes the role of MJ and who can forget the best friend, Ned, play...
