Kill Bill 1 and 2

Is it a coincidence that the Uber feminism movement, and further emasculation of men in the West, started around the time of these two films?

Anyone know what to make of Raised by wolves? I love sci-fi. But, this sure is out there. Heard it kind of fades halfway into the season?

I'm not watching anything with a non-white Anne Boleyn, but that word "woke" is absurd and meaningless.

Well, unfortunately it describes many millions who seem to be over compensating for something, and have bought into an overly PC existence. A very disturbing trend. It does not feel healthy for society.

Who determined that it described them?  Again, I am considered "woke" for wanting a COVID vaccine, so, guilty as charged.

Reviewers got the first two eps, and most were quite enthusiastic, so maybe my expectations were set too high. Will wait for ep. 2 before weighing in.

 

As if the MCU wasn't confusing enough with time travel and resurrection - yes, I know the base material is much more convoluted - now I need a show with a dead guy, a dead-pan guy (Played by Owen Wilson) and time-travel? OK.

I Liked it-- season 2 coming soon---anything  Ridley Scott has a hand in, is usually a little controversial at the time--Alien/Blade Runner...etc

 

But for me, nothing was out there as much as Wanda Vision- IMO-- that completely lost me.

No reference to you or the vaccine. I was simply commenting on the lack of understanding, with regard to the use of woke. Woke is a different universe than the vaccines. And I think ultimately woke has a reference in the word consciousness, which is often the opposite of woke, in my opinion.

Watched the first one of Professor T last night (all 6 episodes out --Pirates and the usual places) It ran in Belgium for 4 years--this is the English version--Ben Miller plays the lead.

 

Its a slow burner-- but seems well acted, he is a genius Cambridge University criminologist who cant stand the students because they are all thick--has OCD (got to wash his hands and clean everything 5 times) ,also an overbearing mother, He advises the police, and Of course spots all the things that the police miss.......Its a bit "Monkish" type thing..

I agree. When she was a mere lass, she was a stunner. She is still holding up rather well, but back in the day? Ooh la la.

Tried it. Started off good. He is sure good. Then it kind of fell off the face of the earth. As a border agent, with 20 plus years on the force, he not only knew no Spanish at all, but he made all the wrong mistakes, on a consistent basis. It was almost as if he was trying to get himself killed. Got to the point where it was very hard to watch. A bit like watching a train wreck.

For those looking for a US Mexico borderlands  crime drama that is very engaging and at least feels realistic enough I would suggest the US version of The Bridge.

Good cast. Will check it out. Demian Bichir is an amazing actor.

What am I watching?  Nothing as far as TV or anything new.    I lived in Loei province for a couple years 43 years ago and I doubt anything has gotten more exciting.  Though paint may dry faster nowadays due to global warming. I could do without the video calls we get from relatives these days. 

 

Such a shame. This is truly the golden age of TV. I think alot of the TV out there right now is better than the films Hollywood is churning out.

 

So many great shows. But few can top Deadwood, the first season of Fargo, the first season of True Detective (the closest anyone has ever come to capturing the spectacularly dark, scary, and backward nature of the Louisiana Bayou country, and one of the most memorable characters of late, with Rust Cohle, played by McConaughey), the Sopranos, Breaking Bad up till season 4, Game of Thrones up to season 5, Dexter, Rome, Vikings, Hell on Wheels, and Black Mirror.

A couple of nice movies I watched recently.  Nice does not seem to be a word used much anymore, more is the shame, but I think these are a couple of good/nice movies that I enjoyed.

 

If you like a lot of PC, rainbow flag waving black chainsaw gay zombies and bloody action these are not for you.

 

As I said just a couple of nice movies:-

 

Land (2021)    6 Star Rating

Harrowing and exhilarating
A bereaved woman seeks out a new life, off the grid in Wyoming.

 

Blue Miracle (2021)    --  Dennis Quaid

Feel good movie:-

To save their cash-strapped orphanage, a guardian and his kids partner with a washed-up boat captain for a chance to win a lucrative fishing competition.

A solid feel good movie, storyline was well developed and based on a true story, the acting was decent. The cast had good chemistry and the characters had depth. I teared up in the end, so no complaints.

 

Enjoy  ????

 

I almost gave up on Land, 30 minutes into the film. I am glad I stuck with it. It was hard to watch her level of hubris, arrogance, indifference, and ignorance, in her attempt to survive in the back country. I guess it was a bit of an attempt at suicide, at first. But, it got alot better. Robin Wright is a powerhouse of an actress. Maybe easier going into it, knowing all that?

Not the kind of movie I would normally bother with but there was not much else around at the time so gave it a go.

 

Like you glad I did as it turned out to be quite good.

This one has already been mentioned, but here’s my take on it .

7.5/10

An above average revenge killing movie with Jason Statham in the lead aided by Clint’s son Scott Eastwood and Andy Garcia ( almost unrecognisable in his minor role and strange accent ).

A little disappointing that Guy Ritchie doesn’t put more of his earlier instantly recognisable signature on this and relies a little too much on each character trying to out “ macho man “ each other .

A classy well made movie but a little too predictable and exaggerated in the storyline , still worthy of a watch for action fans.

Put it in my “ enjoyed it but won’t bother saving a copy “ file.

 

 

Stratham was good, as usual. But, it was so far over the top, so Hollywood, so many leaps of faith required, it got tiresome after awhile. Was happy I had downloaded it, as I was able to fast forward a few scenes. Hollywood seems to have an aversion to creating believable, adult movies these days. 

 

I remember Oliver Stone being interviewed after Platoon (one of the best Vietnam films, ever) was released. He hired a former army officer, who worked with the actors and made certain, that there was an element of reality and authenticity. It really worked.

 

Why can't they do that these days? Hire a mercenary, or a special ops guy, for God's sake. Please. We are not dumb just because we like movies!

Mike Tyson: The Knockout

 

Two part series with episode 1 out there now RAR.

Summary: A special documentary series on the life of boxing legend Mike Tyson. “Mike Tyson: The Knockout” will put viewers ringside for the main event that will chronicle the former champion’s climb, crash and comeback, from his difficult childhood to becoming undisputed world champion to his 1992 rape conviction and his personal struggles.

 

 

An amazing boxer. And quite a guy. Love how he has matured and love his humor and intelligence. Good on him for making a comeback. This time in the business world.

Yup, I get the feeling that each movie tries to outdo the last in terms of action but unfortunately this is at the expense of realism and the storyline suffers.
 

Now back down to earth :

”Time” 

A 3 part mini series about 2 characters and their experience in a U.K. prison.

Sean Bean plays a school teacher who finds himself, after a terrible decision, in prison and over his head, facing violence like he has never seen before .

Stephen Graham plays a prison officer who finds himself with a difficult decision to make, it’s going to end badly whichever way he decides.

Excellent stuff IMHO, available on iPlayer, fmovies and probably elsewhere .

I watched "The Long Goodbye" on tv. Near the end Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared as a bodyguard. Didn't even get a mention on the cast credits.

There's a movie about how they trained together before the movie to make it as realistic as possible.

Brothers in Arms. A great movie about the making of a great movie, and how that film affected their lives and careers. 

 

I love the part where a Vietnam vet told one of the actors that he still can't talk to anyone about his experiences in Nam. But he asks them to go see Platoon. Same with his closest family. And they get it, after seeing it.

This one looks promising.
Available with subs or dubbed from RARBG.

Summary: Follows Victor, a police officer who dedicated his life to fight the narco traffic war and to help his son Pedro, a drug addict who became one of the most wanted criminals in Brazil.

 

 

I'm enjoying this one.

 

For those who don't like subs, I saw a dubbed version on TPB.

Feel like I've seen it all before, about as formulaic as it gets, and instantly forgettable.
