Ninjabattoman

I have just watched Batman Ninja on Netflix. The world of Dc meets Manga/Anime. Over in Gotham, Gorilla Grodd has a time machine. He sets things into motion. Batman with a bunch of other characters are transported to Ancient Japan. The graphics and animation are very different. Originally recorded in Japanese. I watched the English dub. You will see influences from Monkey, Power Rangers in later scenes. It does take a lot of time and effort to make animation as I had been told by a lecturer and I did a minor bit myself. Some scenes would be in 2D. You have to suspend disbelief at some battle scenes. Different villains run various states in Japan. This is an opportunity for them to conquer the country and change the course of history. Great voice actors and animation. You will like the soundtrack. One jpop song felt out of place. See the reaction videos on YouTube. I did see Gotham By Gaslight last year. What would the residents make of the things happening in their town? I remember seeing the trailer and was interested. I had googled time travel films. Batman should end the Joker once and for all. I saw some characters that were Robin, Red Robin, Red Hood and Nightwing. How many sidekicks do you need? I will look at the back story.

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.

Keep the noise down

I have just watched A Quiet Place 2. A horror sequel starring Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Cillian Murphy, Millicent Simmons, Noah Jupe. Following the events of the first film. The Abbott family are on the move. There is a nice flashback scene. Shows you how the aliens got here. Interested to know more about them. They are blind and are attracted to sound. When they attack they are viscous. Another apocalyptic film with Cillian. They are a great cast of actors. Good use of Sign Language. Good action sequences and plenty of suspense. Sometimes the audio switches to no noise at all depending on the character. You will like the soundtrack. John wrote and directed both films. As always there is safe space for the survivors. You get the odd character that makes too much noise fucking things up. I did think that certain scenes would go one way. You have various scenerios playing out. I recommend that you see this movie.

The Analyst

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. 

Shang Chi

I went to see Shang Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings at Cineworld, Loughborough. Very hot outside. The caucasity of the blonde haired girl student to put her feet up on the seat in front of her. She sat in I16. She did sit properly and a slight laugh from one of them. One of her college friends didn't turn up to an event as her dad suffered a brain hemorrhage. Anyway this is a Marvel film and centres on the Asian people. The rings were taken by The Mandarin or I will call him that. Gave him power and immortality. He would meet a woman in Ta Lo. A fascinating place. I need to look into the back story. The fight scene choreography was beautiful. Most of the fight scenes were superb. Nice special effects and a great cast of actors. Tony Leung, Michelle Yeoh, Ben Kingsley are legends in their own right. Shaun is living in San Francisco. Where Scott Lang lives. He works as a Car Valet with his best friend Katy. There is humour in this too. A group of henchmen are after this pendant. Shaun needs to reflect on his life, find out who he really is. There is the issue of family and you get to see things from the point of view of most of the main characters. I had never read the comics. Was unsure as to if I would watch this. The soundtrack is good especially the main theme. I used ro enjoy watching martial arts films. I definitely recommend this film. Simu Liu, Awkwafina. 

The Walking Dead

I have started watching The Walking Dead season 11 on Disneyplus. I originally watched season 1 on Channel 5. It then moved to Skyone so I would not get to watch it. I would hear about various scenes and characters that would follow. You had the Bad Lip Reading parodies. Episode 1 starts off with Maggie, Darryl, Negan and others at a military base. I didn't think that the Walkers would rest. They are after supplies. In another place you have these characters that I am unaware of. The soldiers are dressed like Stormtroopers. This organisation called The Commonwealth interrogates the detainees. I am interested to see how it ends. I do wonder if an explanation is given how to it all started and why. I may look at a few episodes.
