Stay safe

I rented The Forever Purge from Google Play Movies for £15.99. This film will trigger the right-wing asshat in America. Taking place years after Election Year. The purge night has been reinstated. For 12 hours crime is legal. You are seeing things from this couple who are Mexican immigrants. Influenced by the Trump era as was The First Purge. They have settled in Texas. The wife works at a food factory and the husband is an employee on the ranch. Some characters are liberal whilst others are bigoted. The actress that was Tess in Smallville is in this. Racism and classism are topics covered in the film. There are tensions brewing. There is a white supremacist group that want to keep the purge going. Seeing bipoc take them on will trigger the right-wing whites. They being tonedeaf and don't like being seen as the bad. A scifi horror. Apocalypse. Think of The Walking Dead but without the zombies. Fights between factions. The sister on the family farm is hot. Possibly has a thing for one Mexican guy. The father reminds me of John McCain. The son is prejudiced. The one Mexican actor reminds me of the demon guy in the Constantine film. Might be the same actor. Good soundtrack especially end credits song. Good acting from all cast and extras. Irony of Canada and Mexico offering refuge to Americans. I will look into the area around the border and the reservation. Colonisers going crazy and not realising that this land was never theirs. If you enjoy violent films then see this film. Wait for the price to go down as I know it was cheaper to see this in the cinema. Paying now is like buying a dvd.

I watched The Matrix Resurrections at the cinema. I was running short for time as I booked late too. Lauren Chen the constantly offended Karen posted a video about this. Uses the term Woke. Clearly didn't understand the original. The so called redpilled are against crt. Only the rightwingers do that. Anyway enough about that idiot and her minions. It was a good film. 
Thomas Anderson is a game developer living in the city. The game is based on the Matrix trilogy. He goes to therapy. Tiffany is married with children. Loves bikes. Meanwhile in the outside world are a team intent on looking for Neo. There are plenty of references to the original films. Nice fourth wall break. Plenty to say about the modern world. Reuniting cast and crew. Good soundtrack. All cast were good. Smith and Analyst were top notch. When you watch this film you will understand what is going on. Lawrence Fishburne wasn't called up for the role. Hugo Weaving was already cast in another movie. Most of the young cast were either not born yet or just kids when the trilogy was out. Action scifi set in the future. Long after the third film. As special effects are much better now. It is impressive. The Swarm gives off Train To Busan, 28 Days Later vibes. Venom 2 was being filmed in the city too. The characters do get a glow up in Matrix gear. Some hot actors. The Smith actor reminds me of an old friend. I thought that there was a credits scene. Everyone in the theater left so I went too. I already have the end credits song. Cover by Brass Against. There is a new threat. How long did the peace last? I will look at trivia and discussions. It was nice to see Freema Agyeman in a scene. Go to the cinema. Forget about the reviews.
