I am not going name names, in fact everything I write is fiction.<br />
Two dudes one a cop are takeing a dart in the garage<br />
when they hear something going down in the driveway.<br />
Maybe one grabs a pipe<br />
They find a black Ute nearby<br />
and beat the fuck out of him and<br />
he loses an eye<br />
<br />
Who is wrong who is right<br />
I say the black ute is wrong<br />
because why was he a TO dude<br />
in Whitby at 2 Am<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sequel to the National Lampoon inspired Iron Sky (2012). This is a very clever and funny send up of our modern world. Apple takes the biggest punches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I call it a must see. I wont spoil anything, but this movie is totally bonkers, every conspiracy theory is realized.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of this slice of lives in the Dark Heart of America Movies. Starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn. Tory Kittles who we loved as Brossard from Colony is also excellent. He is the new Denzel. There is a homage to <a href="https://suspendeddisbeliefsteve.blogspot.com/2016/09/rampage-2009-rampagecapital-punishment.html">Rampage</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dialogue is over the top but works. Another movie that makes me never want to cross the border into the excited states.</span><br />

<img alt="Image result for prospect movie 2018" height="360" src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/BVq8E9_4hIM/mqdefault.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A movie about mining in the future. A bad father takes his daughter on a risky mining adventure. A low budget film that hits the mother lode with great acting and a premise that rings true. Sophie Turner is totally convincing as a fish way out of water. Take a chance on Prospect you will be rewarded. RT gave it 88%.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Monsters that prey on our senses. Will the next big dystopian hit be stinky? Sandra Bollock carries this movie. Without her mastery of the scene this would be another bad b movie. RT gave it 62% and thats about right. Arguably the most popular Netflix movie ever. Do not put on the blindfold watch the Birdbox. In contrast I did not watch The Quiet Place to the end, I just skipped to it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I grew up watching and loving Bruce Lee. In general I am not a big fan of martial arts movies. The Night Comes for Us is one of the best of the genre. Lots of blood and guts and beatings that would kill a small village. I watched this without subtitles but it made no difference, who needs words the fists do the talking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Iko Uwais of The Raid fame co stars with Joe Taslim another alumni of The Raid. Its not a great movie and the plot is childlike, but it rocks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3.5 fists of fury stars</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a string of just super versions this one is a little underwhelming. All is forgiven because the last half hour is truly nail biting. The other two hours is formulatic and sometimes cringe worthy. Especially when Tom has romance in eyes instead of a gun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Henry Cavall was more wooden than emoting. He seemed to be channeling the lesser Baldwin Bros. However he was a good if not great foil for super Tom. Rotten Tomatoes loved it 98% compared to 93% for what I thought was the better Rouge Nation. If this movie had been released as a stand alone it would have fared better in my eyes, thats why I have to give it a little better than average grade. To be fair it is a must see movie.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mark Wahlberg fourth straight collaboration with director Peter Berg is more of the same and thats a good thing. Lone Survivor was a masterpiece and Deepwater Horizon an enjoyable time. I did not watch the Patriots day, I cant take that much rah rah USA in one sitting. (but broken into hourly bits like Last Ship Howrah)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wahlberg plays a slightly autistic bi polar wet worker of the worst kind. The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan, Furious 7’s Ronda Rousey and The Raid’s Iko Uwais as the package have to travel 22 miles from the US embassy to the airstrip in a generic Indonesian city. Of course the Russians are involved.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rotten Tomatoes gave it a measly 24% and generally critics savaged it. Its the second movie I have seen in a couple of months worth reviewing. If you liked The Raid you will enjoy this. Its really <a href="https://suspendeddisbeliefsteve.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-raid-redemption-2012.html">The Raid</a> on the road.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a state of the art geo political thriller. It spans a lifetime of one man played by Jon Hamm playing the middle east when lives are on the line and time is running out. Rosamund Pike is the voice of reason. I like her in everything and she is given some room to run in this picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lots of truths mostly sad spoken in this movie. That gives it an extra half star.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How I love a well made B movie and this is a true contender for the best</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">of today. It has the look and feel of a brilliant 21st century high school project. Notable </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">maybe only because it stars the daughter of famous morning person Kathy Lee Gifford, and she makes her mother proud. I liked all the no name characters and the story was told in a way that made me suspend disbelief. The director/writer Mark Dennis should definitely</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> be given some big money to make something more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I liked it a little more than the Angelina Jolie vehicles. It puts a fresh coat of paint on the old Indiana Jones genre. Alicia Vikander continues to pump a very impressive resume, playing the Tomb Raider. The supporting cast is fantastic. Daniel Wu of Into the Badlands fame plays a sidekick. Walter Groggins of Justified in his stereotypical bad guy role.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dominic West of Preacher as Laura Crofts father may be a mistake. His character was a weak point of the movie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Director is the Norwegian who wiped out the critics with his first movie The Wave. This movie was well put together, some real drama created.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RT was a little harder than me. It was a smash hit at the box office, expect a sequel which I am looking forward to.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a good movie. Its good sci fi. I did not like the ending because it was like they ran out of money. In a world where 99% of entertainment is crap, repo, reissued dribble, this movie rises above.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Edgar Wright directed Shaun of the Dead. Since that triumph he has not hit a new level. Baby Driver continues this trend. Its a nice movie done well. Super cast and a story that I have seen a thousand times before made almost fresh.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ansel Elgrot gradually wins you over. Similar for Lily James, this is a girl that everyone watching the movie could fall in love with, and that is cinematic magic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You have seen this movie, repeat a thousand times before. Its worth the one more time. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 93%. It has generally rave reviews. I call hype and hubris but still give this a solid rating</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3.1 for those that love skid marks stars</span>Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686098612213242021.post-32467637150509957392017-09-03T12:16:00.000-07:002017-09-03T12:16:03.341-07:00Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017)<img alt="Image result for starship trooper traitor of mars" height="320" src="https://fesapusewebsite.blob.core.windows.net/fathom/exclusive-new-starship-troopers-traitor-of-mars-trailer-beb9ba1968f9655bc2d3cfeb20273c26.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The original Starship Troopers based upon the Robert Heinlein juvenile novel was IMHO a Orwellian Masterpiece. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could be wrong but this is the first Anime movie I have ever watched to the end. Maybe it was Casper van Dien doing the Johnny Rico voice, or maybe it was the cynical spot on writing, whatever I really dug this cartoon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you think Orwell was underselling the problem watch this movie.</span><br />

A terrible movie that would not even get green lighted as a Criminal Minds episode saved from total lameness by Haley Berry. In the end she makes you care. If you have nothing to watch it will do fine.<br />
<br />
Two point 5 pointless stars.<br />

I am just about done with Chris Pratt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyone who gave this movie a good review is on the payroll of the man</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">or just no discriminating.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I grew up on the comic book edition</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and was one of the few that</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">did not see Linda Carter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">as Wonder Women</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">she was just not that</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gal Gadot</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is all that</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and more</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">she has a</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">face that</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">can be</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sienfeldish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but overall</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The movie starts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">great and ends</span><br />
