'Homecoming': Oddly compelling for a vet's POV . .

162.232.81.100

Billy Wonka

I just finished Season One and was tranced into watching it after the first episode. Sam Esmail had an obvious strong thumbprint on this one as it was a straight plot that zig-zagged in and out of rational thinking.

The Geist Corp. got a contract from the military to develop a drug that would "cure" PTSD and make the troops return to combat. Julia Roberts did a smacking good job of a social worker with a soft heart while Bobby Cannavale played the typical corporate shark constantly pushing buttons to make himself look good. The supporting cast was excellent and the 'Mr. Robot' vibe was unmistakable.

Season Two isn't bad, either, with a heavy carryover of cast from One.

Starting S2 this week after finishing some movies on Hulu. Liked S1 and Roberts as well - Road Warrior 08:03:41 08/13/20 (2)

Colossal - Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeckis. One VERY strange flick. Starts Rom-Com-ish, boyfriend kicks out his partying gf, she returns to her hometown and reconnects with a childhood friend who has yearned for her for years. It turns dark. As a plus, a cupla Kaijus. Poor flow and kind of a mess but, kind of enjoyable.

  I enjoyed it but thrown aback at the real people that were involved. Creative casting does wonder for a story.
  - Seen most of the others on that list this past week so I guess ..Marston... is up next ^ - Road Warrior 20:23:47 08/18/20 (0)
