I was pretty stoked for Apple TV Plus. The new streaming service had enticed the likes of Jason Momoa, Francis Lawrence, Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon, M. Night Shyamalan and more. Apple is also pretty reliable when it comes to creating a good product, and at $5.99 a month, the price was right. So I sat down the other night and decided to give a couple of shows a try, starting with See, the epic new sci-fi series starring Momoa and directed by Lawrence. I dig their work, I dig science fiction, and I'm all about the epic. "Bring it on," I said. The show sucked! I'm usually more than willing to suspend my disbelief, but I couldn't accept a world where a virus had wiped out most humans, and rendered the survivors blind. Nor could I accept, even after a hundred years or so, these blind people could survive in the wild, build shacks to live in -- not to mention some nifty, medieval looking clothing -- and wage tribal warfare on each other. You read that...

The headline says it all. With the streaming wars in full swing between Netflix, Disney, Apple and CBS, the Peacock network, otherwise known as NBC, is getting into the game. They're bringing back their beloved franchise from the late 70s to help fight the battle... Battlestar: Galactica. Because everything that's old is new again, obviously. Did you know Battlestar: Galactica was previously, and successfully, rebooted on SyFy from 2004 to 2009? Little is known about the latest incarnation, other than Mr. Robot showrunner Sam Esmail is involved, and the series takes place within the same universe as the 2004-2009 run. I grew up with the original Galactica, and enjoyed the 2000s redo very much. I don't know how much I can give a shit the third time around, but I'll try. We're curious to see how the streaming wars play out. Disney has Star Wars, Apple has Jason Momoa's new series, and CBS has Star Trek. The NBC service, which is called Peacock, debuts Ap...

I refrained from making any sight jokes in the headline, as Jason Momoa's new Apple TV + series is called See, and it takes place in a future where humanity has lost the ability to do just that -- see. So yeah, I took the high road on that one. But the series, which debuts Nov. 1 along with the new streaming platform, looks pretty damn good. We're getting an epic-scale, post-apocalyptic world here, and no expense was spared. I am impressed. Check it out, and be impressed as well: The series was written and created by Steven Knight, and directed by Francis Lawrence. What do you think? Do you like what you... See? Apple TV + will cost $5.99 a month in our Home and Native Land. Source: Apple TV +

That's right.  Christmas Eve and our family voted on seeing a movie. Which movie? "H2O Bro", or "Aquaman". Being the night of the fat, red, comet that crashes into your chimneys and takes all the credit for the magic you created, I'll be brief. All Star cast - Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Nicole Kidman and basement favourite: Dolph Lungren!

My interest in the DC Cinematic Universe, or whatever they are gonna call it, just increased by a wide margin. Why? Because one of my all-time favourite screen hotties -- Amber Heard -- is in talks to join Batfleck and company in a number of upcoming movies inspired by DC Comics.

The Basement is back for this, its sixth season of movie reviews, news and interviews designed to pleasure your ear holes. You'll enjoy it, trust us. First up is the sci-fi/horror flick Almost Human, writer/director Joe Begos' throwback to 80s terror. What's it about? Alien abduction, violent murders and a plot to take over the world. Is it as much fun as it sounds? Stick with us!

There was an era of action movies when men where men, women were hot and showed their boobs, and disputes were settled with violent bloodshed. This was the 1980s, and it's sorely missed. Fortunately, every once in a while, a movie like Bullet to the Head comes along to remind us of this glorious time. And, in a place like The Basement, there is much rejoicing. After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy. How's that for a plot, motherfuckers!?! Lean, mean and to the point -- just like the action movies of the 80s. The fact  Bullet to the Head and The Last Stand were largely ignored by the movie-going public says little about the quality of the films and a lot about how retarded modern audiences are. Sure, they'll drop $12 for bullshit like Twilight and The Hunger Games, but won't spend a dime on glorious carnage like this, Pussies, every last on...

A long headline, I know. But I couldn't resist. Love that line. Love it! We're uber excited in The Basement that Sylvester Stallone 's latest effort, Bullet to the Head , finally hit theatres today. And we hope audiences are kinder to it than they were to Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand and Jason Statham 's Parker . Lean and mean R-rated action flicks are the only way to go when it comes to the genre. And Sly is one of the founding fathers. Please, Basementites, get out there and support his film. Then go and see The Last Stand and Parker. After watching their respective partners die, a New Orleans hitman and a Washington D.C. detective form an alliance in order to bring down their common enemy. Now enjoy this clip. It's got some great profanity, a valid point or two, and then the start of what promises to be an epic throwdown between Stallone and Jason Momoa .

This has to be the biggest week for action fans. The Expendables 2 opens today, we got the preview for Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand yesterday, and right now we can unleash the trailer for Sylvester Stallone's next solo effort: Bullet to the Head. Bullet to the Head also marks the return of director Walter (48 Hours, The Warriors) Hill, who hasn't helmed a film in I don't know how long. Nice to have you back, Walter! As for the Bullet to the Head, it looks like a bunch of 80s action cliches blended into one carnage-filled movie. This is not a bad thing. We'll know more when it opens in February. But I do like what I see here, including the presence of babe Sarah Shahi and . . .  Christian Slater? Plus Sly and Jason Momoa have an axe fight. Cool. Enough babble. Watch and enjoy.

A far better film than it has any right to be, Marcus Nispel's retelling of Robert E. Howard's tale doesn't even try to outdo the 1982 version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead, it holds true to the Howard material while telling its own story in brutally violent fashion. In fact, it's the non-stop violence and bloodshed that keeps this movie afloat. There's copious amounts of blood, beasts and boobies to satisfy exploitation fans. In no way does Jason Momoa's Conan replace Schwarzenegger's interpretation, but he still does a fine job in bringing the barbarian to life. And who doesn't want to look at Rachel Nichols for about two hours? Whenever I'm in the mood for rampant carnage, I'll throw this take on Conan in the player. A Good from me.

Any fears of a watered down Conan The Barbarian hitting theatres in August have been dashed thanks to this red band trailer, which offers gallons of blood and violence and a hint of sex and boobies. Does this mean the latest version of Robert E. Howard's barbarian will be any good? I seriously have my doubts. But at least my bloodlust will be satiated. Jason Momoa is certainly giving the role his all, but he has a long way to go to best Ah-nold. We'll know more when Conan hits theatres Aug.19. Until then, watch the blood spill!

We've been pretty quiet about the upcoming Conan The Barbarian remake. Probably because we tend to shun remakes and nobody, but NOBODY, will ever replace Arnold Schwarzenegger in the role. But one is coming, and some guy Jason Momoa is playing Conan. The first teaser trailer has arrived, and it shows precious little about the plot, not that it's hard to figure out what a Conan movie is all about. Actually, as far as teaser trailers go, it's sucks. But that means the movie could be good as trailers, teasers or otherwise, say nothing about the quality of the final product. Watch the teaser below, judge for yourselves, and let us know what you think. The film also stars Ron Perlman, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang,  and Rose McGowan and will cost you three extra dollars to see when it hits theatres August 19.
