Goodbye Mr Wick

Keanu Reeves · Laurence Fishburne · George Georgiou · Lance Reddick · Clancy Brown · Ian McShane · Marko Zaror · Bill Skarsgård - Hiroyuki Sanada - Shamier Anderson - Donnie Yen - Rina Sawayama. 
John Wick Chapter 4 from Lionsgate. The final film. Action Thriller. Saw this at the cinema. 
John is still on the run. He has his sights on The High Table. They have sent The Harbinger. Closing down operations at the hotel. Putting Winston and Charon out of a job. The Marquis has arrived. He wants Wick dead. Caine has been hired to kill John. There is a Tracker that wants the money and offers his services. Plenty of action. With one scene you could see the choreography and stunt work it was obvious. Misfires and how characters are not dead. Some bad guys had been suited with body armour. There is a scene later on which is impressive due to how creative the kills were. The card game scene was good. The boss has good moves on him. John has enlisted the help of old friends. Impressive cinematography. Nice soundtrack. Lance Reddick has only just passed away. Great acting and special effects. There is a post credits scene. There is talk of spin offs. There will be trivia to look at. Some questions are being asked. Worth taking a look. The whole series was good. Eva Longoria was a producer and backer for the first film. I had seen her at a shift that I worked at.
I did find the view obscured from this blonde sitting in the front. A bit of chatter from the side.

Who is there?

Horror movies at Cduniverse

I have just watched Knock At The Cabin. An M Night Shyamalan film. Horror drama. A young gay couple Andrew and Eric have gone to stay at this nice cabin in the countryside. With them is their cute adopted daughter Wen. A burly man approached the home. His name is Leonard. He is soon joined by Redmond, Adriane and Sabrina. All of them from different states. Now they speak of an apocalypse. The only way to stop it is for a sacrifice. They could be telling the truth. However they might just be a doomsday cult and nothing will actually happen. I like with these films by this director. You will be kept guessing. Great acting by all of the cast. Especially Dave Bautista. The group aren't really that threatening but are convinced that the world is about to end. You can see that the characters are conflicted. I haven't seen anything that Rupert Grint was in beside Harry Potter. Based on the novel The Cabin At The End Of The World by Paul G Tremblay. You might also like Cabin In The Woods, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, Don't Look Up, Mother's Day, The Strangers. Worth checking out. Dave Bautista, Ben Aldridge, Jonathan Groff, Steve Sacavitch, Kristen Cui, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.



Chaos

I am rewatching The Butterfly Effect trilogy. The first one released in 2004. Starring Ashton Kutcher, Melora Walters, Amy Smart, Elden Henson, William Lee Scott. It is a scifi drama. Kutcher's best work. It focuses on abuse. Good soundtrack. I like the editing and acting. You may have seen The Time Traveller's Wife, The Time Machine, Quantum Leap, Back To The Future, About Time, Donnie Darko, Timeline, Timeless. This has a love story at the centre of it. The time travel aspect will attract most. Chaos Theory is where you could change one thing and a random chain of events can occur. Evan is a young man that had been having blackouts as a child. He starts a journal. Upon reading an entry he will be transported back that year in his own body. He tries to see what he can do to make things better. Altering the course of history. Worth taking a look at all of the films. Eric Stoltz was originally in Back To The Future. However this is the time travel film that he gets to be in.

The Butterfly Effect 2
With the second film you have Nick, an employee of a tech company. Having to deal with potential investors. He is with his girlfriend and two friends. Having a picnic. A car accident happens. Nick can travel through time by focusing on photographs. The actresses have nice breasts. The sex scenes are unnecessary. It acknowledged the first film. I do question as to how all the characters from the trilogy are connected. Why they can time travel. Eric Lively, Erica Durance, Dustin Milligan, Gina Holden, David Lewis. Good soundtrack. I wonder why they bothered with sequels. 

The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations. Chris Carmack, Rachel Miner, Melissa Jones, Kevin Yon, Lynch R. Travis. Sam is a psychic working for the police. His method of time travel is different. No longer having nosebleeds or headaches. His sister Jenna has an apartment. His girlfriend was murdered. Her hot sister had come to visit. She believed the man on death row to be innocent. Interesting soundtrack. Nice rack on the barmaid.
A few pretty actresses. Goldburg is a guide/friend to Sam. Only he and Jenna know about the time jumps. Having already seen this film I view it differently. Good actors. There is a continuity error near end. The shoe is off the foot. Back on and off again.

Angel

The Angel Investigations team is stunned when the Senior Partners of Wolfram and Hart give them control of the L.A. office. The gang quickly moves in, and although everyone is delighted at the amazing resources they now have at their command, they can’t stop wondering what the catch is. 
Cast: David Boreanaz, Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, J. August Richards, Andy Hallett. 
Season 5 Angel. I had watched previous seasons and also Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The opening credits does feature a returning character that is a surprise cameo. I can't quite remember what episodes that I have seen. As the team are now working at Wolfram And Heart who they were once up against. The lady being the liason between the two groups is pretty. I am not sure about Fred. Didn't like Connor much. Joss Whedon is producer. See the camera lingering on the legs of Amy. You can spot the problematic behaviour. Harmony is working here now. Started off with a gangster threatening the whole city if he was to be found guilty on trial. Two former cast members have passed away. This was a good show. I was tempted to skip to certain episodes. One of the actors playing a scientist was in Buffy. He was a vampire. The theme is Sanctuary by Darling Violetta. It is pretty much a grey area. So this season takes place after the final Buffy season. There were the comic books that continued the story. I feel that I may have seen these episodes. Looking at the character of Nina Ash. Attractive, young blonde. Camera starts off at the feet and goes up the legs. She was naked at some point. Through her top you can see the nipples poke through. She was even hosed down with water. Definitely whoever wrote this wanted it this way. Buffy series would not go that far. Maybe for an adult audience. If either show was released today the antisjw weirdos would call it woke and want it cancelled. There are cameos. I recognised an actor from season one. Danielle Nicolet was in this as she is currently in The Flash. Cordelia looking hot. Harmony is a good character. She will be a fan favourite like Regina George and Elle Woods. Illyria is a fox. You have the episode set in Italy. The accents are hammed up. The ceo there has nice tits.

Go apeshit

I watched War For The Planet Of The Apes and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes. Part of a trilogy directed by Matt Reeves. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes is the first film. Great acting and effects. Nice soundtrack. I liked the way the characters would interact with each other. Worth taking a look. You have a scientist trying to create a cure for a long term illness. He would experiment on a chimpanzee. The second is about this human city sending a team to operate a power station by a dam. The apes occupy that territory. The third is where there is a war between human and ape. There is the Tim Burton remake and the 60s original films to watch. I remember looking at Jimi Hendrix songs after his was featured in War.
