I rented these films from the library. Hellboy 2019 which is a reboot. Based on the comics. Starring David Arbour, Ian McShane, Milla Jovovich, Daniel Dae Kim. More horror orientated. Some humour. You may have seen the previous films from a decade ago. Some of the CGI needed work. Unsure of the faux English accents. Interesting story. Like the way the story was being narrated. Good soundtrack. An immortal witch wants to set a plague upon the human race. King Arthur and his knights were there to put a stop to her plans. Hellboy is going on missions. He must prevent these pieces of the witch being found. He is trying to discover his place in the world. Good action pieces. 



I also watched Pet Sematary which is based on the novel by Stephen King. Good acting for on the cast especially the girl playing Ellie. I wasn't sure what to expect. A family from Boston have moved to Ludlow. There is this cemetery near the house. It is for animals. A large forest which adds to the spookiness. The husband is a doctor. There is a neighbour that has lived in the town all his life. There is an area called I assume, The Barrier. Restless spirits roam. Things come back from the dead. I like the opening and  closing credits songs. You may have seen Winchester, The New Daughter, It Comes At Night, Evil Dead. Very graphic.


Shazam! Starring Zachary Levi, Mark Strong. Origin story of the character known as Captain Marvel in the comics. A DC film. It references other Justice League members. Young Billy Batson had been from foster home to home. You get introduced to Dr Sivani the villain. There is the wizard named Shazam that has been searching for a champion. Good special effects. John Glover, Djimon Honsou have been in other comic book adaptations. Great cast of actors. If you like Big, Spider-Man: Homecoming then this is for you.
