An action comedy thriller. Set in Japan. The Father is a young man that wants to find the person responsible for causing his son harm. The Elder is also family. He is seeking revenge. Ladybug gets set on a mission to retrieve a suitcase, he is guided by Maria who has a sexy voice. Two Brits named Tangerine and Lemon are with the client's son. They have possession of the suitcase. The Prince might look sweet and innocent, very pretty too but has an agenda. The White Death is a Russian that worked for the Yakuza. The Wolf had a wedding where the family was killed and so has arrived. The Hornet has been secretly causing mayhem. There are cameos. Good humour and fight scenes. Clever dialogue. Impressive soundtrack. All the actors are good. Thought of Scott Pilgrim and Kick-Ass the way it is edited and how the words appear on the screen. You may already have seen James Bond, Jason Bourne, John Wick, Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges, Haywire, Hitman, Die Hard, The Commuter, The Equalizer, Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Transporter, Kill Bill. Based on a novel. Grasshopper is a film connected to the story. Worth checking out.

12 YEARS A SLAVE. cert 15 drama 2014


http://www.africanholocaust.net

I've just seen some great trailers for films I'll indeed be catching up on: Dallas Buyers Club, Tracks, Calvery. A film by Steve McQueen. Based on a true story. You might like Bamboozled, Amistad, The Butler. Won some awards. 1841 Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejifor) a free black man, that'd been kidnapped and sold to slavery. The plantation owner (Michael Fassbender) has purchased Soloman. There is a chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt). A steller cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o. Music by Hans Zimmer. I'm liking the theme song. Special Feature a are a doc looking at the creative team behind the film and also watch Han Zimmer as he composes the soundtrack. There was a mild sex scene. Shot from a sideways position. The book is for sale. Solomon a violinist is offered a job in Washington. There are flashback scenes. Transported to Georgia. Strong language and violence. Solomon's message is delivered to future generations. I wonder what he'd make of President Obama. 

Twelve Years A Slave by Solomon Northup. I'd seen the film and so decided on the book. This is a true story. Solomon's memoirs will leave a message to future generations. Obviously it goes into more detail than the film. I recommend you check out both. A young violinist is under false pretences taken to Washington DC to perform at a circus. But he had been kidnapped and sold into slavery down south. I'm selling this on Amazon/Ebay in a few months. Kept in mint condition. First published in 1853. EAN 9780007580422 paperback published by Harper Collins. Was £2.50 in Waterstones. Pollypunk:No Prejudice.
