A temporary replacement for TMINE’s Orange Thursday feature in which I review a readily available movie you’ve probably already seen
The second of TMINE’s new Covideodrome movie review feature – aka “We watching whatever’s available and we don’t have to pay for” – is Extraction (2020), Netflix’s latest big budget movie, which stars Chris Hemsworth. Here’s the plot:
A hardened mercenary’s mission becomes a soul-searching race to survive when he’s sent into Bangladesh to rescue a drug lord’s kidnapped son
Adapted by Joe Russo from his and his brother’s (yes, those Russo Brothers) graphic novel of the same name and directed by their long-time stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave, it’s predicted to be Netflix’s biggest ever premiere, with 90 million households watching it. But should you?
Here’s a trailer to help you decide, with a review coming not long afterwards.
Peacock is US TV network NBC’s new streaming service (Peacock because of NBC’s logo, in case you’re wondering). One of its first is At-Home Variety Show – a virtual series hosted by Seth MacFarlane, that ‘aims to raise awareness and support for essential workers and struggling communities during the pandemic’.
First guest? Tony Shalhoub, reprising his mysophobic character from Monk, who’s not enjoying the lockdown one bit. Also appearing are fellow Monk stars Traylor Howard, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford.
And in the last of today’s viral videos, we have Mark Hamill – you know, Luke Skywalker – giving a great big heartfelt thanks to a whole bunch of Star Wars fans. I’m not sure how reassuring it is to know that our doctors and nurses dress up as stormtroopers at the weekend, but I guess everyone has to have an outlet.
