The Jackal (1997)

I checked out this movie from the Library.

I never saw the original film from the 70's. In fact I didn't even know there was one till I watched this.
But I did enjoy this film. It was well written and engaging. It's nice to see Willis is capable of playing a very sinister villain and did a great job as such.
I really enjoy films like this. I do recognize some flaws with it and it wasn't super amazing or anything. But very enjoyable all the same.


Mistake Status: I went through it with a think comb twice, finding anything I could. I'm pretty confident that I found everything, but I could have missed something here or there. I would like to see if someone else is able to find anything I missed.

I rented this from Red Box.

The movie wasn't as good as the first one. And I will agree there are some parts that are just... bad. But over all it's a very enjoyable film. For what it is, it works. Just not a cup of tea for everybody. You have to have a certain appreciation for this sort of movie when going into it.

Mistake Status: Did not search, no current plans to do so.

Rampage (2018)

I rented this from Red Box.

This movie was surprisingly good. We all know how giant monster movies tend to go and this did have a lot of the same style tropes. But it had great acting, decent effects and a gripping enough story to keep you vested. It's not a great move, but it's not bad either. A good popcorn flick to keep you entertained.


Mistake Status: Studied it semi thoroughly when rented. I might buy the movie later on and go through it more extensively again.

Meet the Engineer (2007)

Watchable on YouTube.

One of the funniest and best of the Meet the Team videos. Engineer's intellect and personality really shine through in this fun animated short.

Mistake Status: I have finished my thorough search.

I saw this movie in theaters.


...Well what can I say? It's been 10 years following the MCU leading up to this point. When Iron Man came out back in 2008, I was 18 and in my Junior year in High School. I've been following this movie series ever since and have seen most of them in theaters when I was financially able to.

There were countless predictions online that this movie was going to do like The Last Jedi where people claimed it would fall very short of expectations and hype... Granted I love The Last Jedi and thought it was one of the best films in the series to date, so I wasn't all too worried about these comments. However it was still rise for concern. I feared the film would not live up to the hype and be "just another MCU" film.

I am so glad that was not the case. This is easily the best film in the franchise yet. And with one of their best villains ever put to screen. It is a bit hard to decide if Thanos or Killmonger is the best MCU baddy... but after you let this movie sink in for a few months the choice becomes clear.

I'll be honest, I'm a little disappointing that they seem to have thrown out the whole angle of Thanos being in love with Lady Death and pleasing her being the motivation behind his actions... However the direction they did take him is more than amazing. And who knows... maybe in Avengers 4 we will still get some of that. There have been countless rumors that Hella will be brought back from Ragnarok and turn into Lady Death. I believe that even happened at one point in one of the timelines in the comics. At least so I've heard. I've also heard rumors that Avengers 4 will also be split again into two films... guess we just wait and see. It's awesome to have those films come out right around my birthday in May!

Anyways, the film doesn't disappoint. It's got some amazing action, splendid writing, and a superb cast of characters. Almost every aspect of the film is delivered on in near flawless order. Though I will agree with Captain Midnight that the crew stuck in Wakanda did seem to get the short end of the stick a bit on screen time and development. They felt more back burner than anything. Not that I didn't enjoy every moment of their battle. And the way they made the hoards of faceless enemies for the to battle again seem so much scarier with how they acted at the force field was a nice refresher to the hoards of faceless minions they fought in Avengers, in Age of Ultron, an even Ragnarok.

The ending is great! But I'll try to avoid spoilers. I'm very eager to see how they try to turn things around in the next film and undo what Thanos has done. Who will be sacrificed? Who will be brought back? Who wont? And most importantly... who will pay the ultimate price for good? I can hardly wait!


Mistake Status: I saw this movie in theaters before I had made my return to this site so I didn't look for any. Not that I would have anyways for a film like this while in theaters. I will own it eventually and I do plan to go through the MCU for mistakes as I love super hero movies. Just it's not high priority right now as plenty of other people have been doing it. I'm focusing more on the animated features. That and I plan to tackle the dceu soon.

I own this on DVD.

I don't understand all the hate this movie gets. People say it's the worst of the series. Well maybe it's just that all of them are so good that even the low point is still so great? I personally feel that the first film is the worst. Even though that movie is also good.
MI:2 is my personal favorite of the saga. Call me a 90's kid through and through if you like, but I love the rock and roll aspects of the film. The action is great, the villain is good, the girl is hot as hell. I just love this movie. It's my favorite.


Mistake status: I have not yet looked for any.
