Dead Trigger (2017)

Dead Trigger (2017). This movie showed up as a 'recommendation' on my Amazon Prime Video so I thought I'd give it a try.

I'll probably do it again with other available streaming movies, but I made a mistake. This one was bad.

I guess Dolph Lundgren is really desperate for money or really doesn't care about the movies he's in as long as he gets a decent paycheck. I also don't see how people who are funding and 'making' these types of movies think that they are worth anything.

It's a strange, strange phenomenon to me.

Possible spoilers ahead...

The story line of this movie reminds me just a bit of The Last Starfighter. Whereas a video game is created to recruit people for a 'war' without them knowing it's a recruitment tool.

Two things that bothered me about this movie: (1) REALLY, REALLY bad acting, fight scenes, shooting scenes and just some scenes in general and (2) How long or how many rounds does it take to realize that after shooting zombies or anyone/thing for that matter anywhere but the head and they still keep moving that it may be time to FUCKING shoot them in the head!? I mean pick up on some of the subtleties a.k.a. obviousness of combat when on thing isn't working, try another. DUH!

Anyway...again, what did I expect. Well a little more.

FINAL VERDICT: Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass. You'd find more entertainment in watching paint dry.

Dominos Pizza - Skillman Ave (Dallas, TX)

Ordered pickup from here a few times. Mostly for my youngest. When I get something, I usually get one of the breads and occasionally wings. Today I got the 14ct Hot Wings and Stuffed Cheesy Bread with Spinach & Feta.

The bread was good but it was difficult to find the spinach and feta. Once or twice I did bite into a chunk of feta. But thinking back I don't ever recall any spinach.

Looking at the wings, they had a decent level of kick and tasted as wings should. The problem is they were small, very small wings. I feel like they killed little chicks instead of full-grown ones. These wings were no more than two inches in length and barely had any meat on them. Plus they give two shallow-cup dipping sauces (ranch).

For $11.99, I expect a little more than these sissy-fied wings and skimpy dipping sauces. There are other places close by to get better pizza, wings and bread....for me at least.

Guava Island (2019)

Guava Island (2019). Watched this on Amazon Prime Video today. I kept overlooking it because, while I've always liked Donald Glover from his Community days, I just wasn't in the right mood to watch it...I guess. But I decided to watch it today.

This 'movie' is a fairly quick watch. I think it's barely an hour run time. It also stars Rihanna. Donald and Rihanna have a good chemistry together.

The movie has a comedic side and a serious side. It has a good message..."Stand up to the man!"

FINAL VERDICT: It's a good, quick watch. I would recommend.
