Shot Through the Blood

Hey! This week actually saw an interruption in my recent weekly trips to random movies of the past couple of decades because actual new theatre content is now coming to home video.

To start? I went with the next movie I was probably going to see before the COVID closures, “Bloodshot”. I’ve read some of the various comic series from Valiant since it got rebooted at some point within the last 10 years, but since their output was more peripheral to my comic book diet, I really just picked the ones that jumped out at me, and the transhuman cyborg character of Bloodshot wasn’t one of those. Talk about Ivar Timewalker, who’s like an even less responsible and possibly more flamboyant version of the Doctor? Yeah. I was up for that. Quantum and Woody? Another pair of siblings at opposite ends of the maturity spectrum? I checked it out. And then there was that alternate universe miniseries where all of the company’s characters were high school students. Ooh! And Manowar! Viking with power armour! Hekk yeah!

But anyway. This was a movie, and I see a bunch of those. One a week at least to be more specific. And Vin Diesel basically guarantees my presence. That’s not because I’m a committed Diesel fan. A Fan Diesel? But the films he features in do tend to be the ones that align fairly well with my tastes. Remember “The Last Witch Hunter” or whatever that was? I don’t. But I know I liked it.

And this “Bloodshot”? I liked that too.

Bonus Question!

Best witch hunter?
