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.

Mystery












Cast: Daniel Craig, Lakeith Stanfield, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Christopher Plummer, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Jaeden Lieberher, Katherine Langford, Don Johnson, Riki Lindhome, Raúl Castillo, Shyrley Rodriguez, Noah Segan.
I watched Knives Out, a mystery drama by Rian Johnson. Set in modern day America. Looking at these stately homes which most would have been build from slavery. On colonised land. That is America. On his 85th birthday. A legendary author and millionaire Harlan Thrombey is found dead. Two detectives are called to the scene. The private investigator Benoit Blanc is hired to assist the detectives. You are given hints as to motives of certain characters. It keeps you guessing. I had accidentally seen some spoiler way before. A star studded cast. The family that live at the house, visiting relatives, the house staff and nurse are suspects. Majority of the family are conservatives. You have a few liberals. A satirical look at the rich. The haves and have nots. One of the protagonists Marta is the nurse that had always been helping the deceased. Her mother is an undocumented immigrant. See how some people treat her. Great cast of actors. Interesting soundtrack. Wonder how much practice Daniel had with his accent. His time as 007 was over as was Chris playing Captain America. This was Ana's breakout role. Good dialogue. Christopher has also played a rich father in All The Money In The World and The Lake House. Ransom is egotistical and arrogant. Beth is a student, a liberal. There is the young son Jacob who is apparently part of the altright. Walt is a good character. He gets to run the publishing company. Quite a few characters for you to get to know. I will watch Glass Onion. I recommend Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, Murder She Wrote, Columbo, Monk, Clue.









Glass Onion starring Daniel Craig · Benoit Blanc ; Edward Norton · Miles Bron ; Kate Hudson · Birdie Jay ; Dave Bautista · Duke Cody ; Janelle Monáe · Andi Brand ; Leslie Odom Jr. - Lionel Toussaint.
A sequel to Knives Out. Set during the pandemic in 2020. Blanc has been looking for work. Everyone is in lock down. An impressive puzzle box is sent a few people. I was impressed by the special effects. Shout out to the props department. Miles is a billionaire and has his own island. He is having a murder mystery weekend and his old friends are invited. Guests include a politician, a model/actress/influencer with personal assistant, scientist, redpilled alpha male streamer with his girlfriend, a former business partner and the detective. Great cast of actors. You should see their individual works. Nice soundtrack. You will get flashback scenes. Miles has a secret connection with each of them. They have a reason to cause him harm. The women are hot. Whisky and Birdie in their bikinis especially. Monae and Craig stole the show. One speech did remind me of Fight Club. This film triggered Ben Shapiro.

Izombie

I watched the pilot episode of iZombie. From DC/ Vertigo. On Netflix. A horror drama. It did remind me of Pushing Daisies, Gilmore Girls and Nancy Drew. The leading actress reminded me of Amy Adams. Her sister is hot. A young doctor had gone to party and there was a zombie outbreak. Well a minor one. She was infected. Now one of the undead. She works in a morgue. Eating the victim's brains helps her have a psychic connection. I wasn't sure if I would watch the entire episode or even the series. It might appeal to a female audience. You may have seen Zombieland, Warm Bodies, Life After Beth. Interesting soundtrack. Comic book cut scenes. Her boss is British. There is black detective that need her help. Originally on the CW. There are references to the work Boyle and Romero. 5 seasons. You should see Ash Vs Walking Dead. Starring: Rose McIver; Malcolm Goodwin; Rahul Kohli; Robert Buckley; David Anders; Aly Michalka; Robert Knepper; Bryce Hodgson.

A Touch Of Cloth


Series 1-3. Cert 15, 6867441056492. Crime parody created by Charlie Brooker. Stars John Hannah, Suranne Jones, Daisy Beaumont, Karen Gillan and others. Funny and clever show. This is going for sale on eBay/Amazon. In perfect condition. You may like Dead Set, Screenwipe, Black Mirror. Murder investigation in the first one and DCI Cloth is joined by new partner Anne OldMan. Part two there was a bank robbery. Todd Carty cameos. Using the subtitles, sometimes blends in with the background. Originally broadcast on Sky. Ch4 DVD release. You might hear or spot some funny visuals featured briefly. Querishi played by Navin Choudry gives detailed descriptions of the victims as seen in other Cop shows. Contains crude gags, sex, nudity, violence, gore and swearing. Great acting from all members of the cast. I like the tits on the girl in McCratty's club. Strippers doing morris dancing. John Hannah is a brilliant actor, see this, Sliding Doors, The Mummy plus more. Nice soundtrack especially the theme. The third series Terry Cloth, brother of Jack, has been murdered. The suspect is a cult leader. Karen Gillan plays Newblood, a new recruit to the force. Des is a pervy bloke. Nice dialogue when with K Gillan. She was in an episode of Rebus. There's an actress that looks like Felicity Jones. Guvorner Boss is no nonsense with great lines. I'd like to see the bloopers. There are lots of pretty women. I recommend this show to all.

Seven Psychopaths cert 15 BFI and Film4



Stars Colin Farrel, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken. Opening scene two hitmen are having a morbid conversation. Lots of special features including a gag reel. Marty is a struggling writer intent on finishing his screenplay 'Seven Psychopaths' all he needs is some inspiration. Charlie is a gangster that has had his dog stolen by Marty's friends. He is going to try and get his pet back. There is a man with a rabbit which I saw from the trailer. Marty's girlfriend is pretty. If you like films with an oddball bunch of characters. Then check out Burn After Reading, I Heart Huckabees. The actress that was in Precious and Tower Heist stars in this. She played Shirese. Nice little chapters introducing each psychopath. Great body on this woman in one scene. The actress is Christine Marzano. A great cast. Contains violence, nudity and swearing. One story tells of an interracial couple that go around killing hitmen. Olga Kurylenko looks hot in a bikini. Nice soundtrack. Out to buy/rent now.
