Ripd 2: Rise Of The Damned. A prequel to the film that starred Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges. Based on the Dark Horse Comics. You get to see a young Roy in the wild west of 1876. His life as a Sheriff. Some reviewer spoke of how his death was different in this film. Maybe they did make reference to the first film. He is with his daughter and fiance. There are a group of bandits. A shoot out occurs. Roy is recruited by the Department to find Deados, the souls that escaped judgment. Meanwhile Otis is a man that had been looking for gold and accidentally opened up the gates of Hell. Jeanne is a knight that has been around for a long time and she is hot. Plenty of attractive women. It has action, horror, comedy and drama. Good cast of actors and special effects. You may have seen the original film. You should also see Men In Black, Jonah Hex, Bright, Day Shift, Tremors, Ghostbusters, Pexels, Hell Boy, Prey. Nice soundtrack. I may look into the back story. The cast are familiar. Regardless of the ratings and reviews, go see it with an open mind.

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.

Enjoy your stay
I have watched Barbarian. A horror movie. Set in Detroit. Tess is a young woman coming over for a job interview. She has rented an Air B&B. But it is double booked. Keith is a man that she wonders if she can trust. He is also staying there. Something is lurking in the dark. You have AJ, an actor that is being investigated for sexual assault. He gets to the city. There is a flashback to Frank that resided in this city. The area looks run down. I would have to look at the back story. From the title I assumed what type of threat would be there. I did end up thinking if there was any point to this film. You might like The Woman.
Georgina Campbell · Tess ; Bill Skarsgård · Keith ; Justin Long · AJ ; Matthew Patrick Davis · The Mother ; Richard Brake · Frank.

Eat the rich
The Menu is a horror comedy. A satirical take on the food industry. I have worked in catering and hospitality. It can be seen as pretentious. The extras will have been professional chefs. They did an excellent job. As this is a film and you have these actors. I did work vip events.
Ralph Fiennes as Chef Slowik
Anya Taylor-Joy as Margot
Nicholas Hoult as Tyler
Hong Chau as Elsa
Janet McTeer as Lillian
Paul Adelstein as Ted
John Leguizamo as "movie star"
Aimee Carrero as Felicity
Reed Birney as Richard
Judith Light as Anne
Rebecca Koon as Linda
Rob Yang as Bryce
Arturo Castro as Soren
Mark St. Cyr as Dave
Peter Grosz as "sommelier"
Christina Brucato as Katherine
Adam Aalderks as Jeremy
Matthew Cornwell as Dale
You do wonder what is going to happen. The guests arrive on an island to dine at a fine restaurant. Chef Slowik is in charge. He has everything running like clockwork. Intelligent dialogue. Philosophical. There are metaphors worth looking in to. A great cast of actors. I was using Bluetooth headphones and maybe it seemed out of sync. Hard to get hear what was being said at the beginning. Many guests talking over each other. Some characters were annoying. I would need to look at the back story. I do recommend Old and Fantasy Island. Amongst the guests are business men, an actor, food critics. Most of the action is taking place in the restaurant. You get the description of the food. I saw it on Disney+ but it will be available on all platforms. I do like the design. See the trivia and discussions. Plenty of people have watched Masterchef, Hell's Kitchen, Michel Roux's Service, Great British Bake Off. They may enjoy this film. Surprises are in store for the guests and audience. I thought it would end a certain way. The cast will be well fed. Ralph having played scary characters like the Chef, Voldemort, Francis Dolarhyde. I did get a feeling about how two characters were connected. They acknowledged Covid. The Chef talks about the food with each course. Elsa keeps an eye on the guests. Margot is one of the main characters. On her date with Tyler who is a foodie. Anya is stunning. You will recognise some faces. Worth having a butchers. Compliments to the chef. Eat the rich.

M3GAN
I went to the cinema to see a new scifi horror film from Blumhouse. In the room were several people however this woman was quite vocal and that annoyed me. Anyway it is M3GAN.
Allison Williams · Gemma
Violet McGraw · Cady
Ronny Chieng · David
Amie Donald · M3gan
Jenna Davis · M3gan
Jen Van Epps - Tess
Brian Jordan Alvarez - Cole
Stephane Garneau-Monten - Kurt
There were scenes where I knew something bad was going to happen and to which characters. I had watched Brian on YouTube, Jenna is also on there. Ronny was on The Daily Show. Moving on you have Cady. On the road with her parents. There is an accident. Afterwards she goes to live with her hot aunt Gemma. Who is creating robotic toys. I like the satire. I am reminded of Robocop, Westworld and Child's Play. Gemma has secretly been working on creating a robot girl that could befriend a child. The boss is obviously annoyed. There are the two colleagues working at the lab. The personal assistant is helping the boss. M3gan is cute, creepy and clever. I like how she is very observant of humans. She is evolving and would act and think for herself. She is meant to help Cady with her trauma and protect her from harm. She becomes obsessive and will remove anyone seen as a threat.
The special effects and stunts were great. Fantastic acting. You will like the soundtrack. Good horror. I think M3gan is a brilliant character. She may look like a girl but she is a powerful machine. She may be a psycho but is she really the villain or are the humans the bad ones? There is something that the personal assistant Kurt was doing that there should have been more information on. I have been a fan of James Wan and Jason Blum since the early days. They never disappoint. There is talk of a sequel. But it should have been a standalone film. I recommend this film and you should see Archive, Tau, The Machine, Morgan, Replicas, Chappie, Short Circuit, Terminator, The Matrix, Ex Machina, Robocop, Extinction, Battle Of The Damned, Westworld, Child's Play, Humans. See Imdb for cast and trivia.

The Banshees Of Inisherin. Colin Farrell · Pádraic Súilleabháin ; Brendan Gleeson · Colm Doherty ; Kerry Condon · Siobhán Súilleabháin ; Barry Keoghan - Dominic. A comedy drama set on an island just off the coast of Ireland. It is 1923. There is a civil war happening on the mainland. What I first noticed was the amazing scenery thanks to the cinematography. Interesting location. I believe that tourists will flock there. This film will win awards. Nice soundtrack consisting of classical and folk music. Great cast of actors. The way they riff off each other. The accent is strong. You do feel for the characters. Colin had the standout performance. I had watched Calvary which starred Brendan. That's why I decided to see this. You will also be familiar with Ballykissangel and Father Ted. I have always wanted to visit Ireland. Go to a village. There is minimal special effects. Kerry is attractive. Pádraic is a farmer, a nice guy and lives with his sister Siobhán. She is smart and caring. He has a friend named Colm that is a musician. But one day Colm has decided that he no longer wants to be friends. I know the feeling as I haven't had any contact with a few people. He is a miserable bugger. He does warn him to stay away. Pádraic is relentless and annoys him. There is the local police officer who is pretty shady, he has a son named Dominic who is a trouble maker. I have had thoughts about the mysterious Mrs McCormick. An elderly woman that is always present in certain places. What does she represent? There was some foreshadowing and so I predicted correctly what would happen to one character. Was there more to the friendship than was let on? I like the pub. Great landlord. Sweet, quaint. I did think about how the film ended. Maybe it could have been better. But overall it is a good film. There will be trivia and discussions. Showing on Disney Plus but will be available elsewhere.
In Bruges is a comedy drama by Martin McDonagh. This was his debut. You will like Calvary and The Banshees Of Inisherin. Some of the dialogue will offend. Two hitman have been sent by their boss to Bruges. Call it a holiday/getaway. Colin Farrell and Dominic Gleeson are together in this film as they would be later on in another film. Ralph Feinnes looking handsome and in shape. Plays another villain. The women featured are pretty especially Marie, Chloe and the prostitutes. Ken is mature, has been working for a long time, he likes the scenery. You might too. I am sure tourism was at a high since the film was released. Ray is young, gets bored easily, loves the women and hates this city. Harry is a terrifying man and a cunt. He is keeping tabs on the lads. Marie owns the hotel the lads are staying at. Chloe works on a film set. Jimmy is an actor, a dwarf and remember him from the trailer. Interesting cinematography. Good soundtrack. There is plenty of violence, gore, drug use and swearing. I am interested to see what the next film will be like. All great actors from the main cast to the extras. There will be trivia and discussions about the film. Worth checking out once you have seen this film. I try not to include too much as it will spoil the film. Similar films would be Seven Psychopaths, Bullet Train, John Wick. Anyway if you want to find anything that I have done then look for Solitarymaninblack.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Silent Night is a comedy horror film from 2021. Starring Keira Knightley. It is Christmas. This is England. A family are having a party and they have invited friends. There is this oncoming storm and it will kill everything in it's path. One of those films that leads up to the apocalypse. You have a variety of characters. You see how they interact and what secrets will be shared. As the pandemic was still on. I do wonder if this was influenced by it. There are these films worth seeing, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Don't Look Up, Await Further Instructions, Ready Or Not, The Children. Lily Rose Depp is hot. Nice soundtrack. Good acting especially from the children. You will recognise the actors from their previous work. The trailer can give abit away. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
