Father of the year

Tom Cruise · Dakota Fanning · Miranda Otto · Justin Chatwin · Tim Robbins · Rick Gonzalez · Yul Vazquez · Lenny Venito.

I rewatched War Of The Worlds. A film by Stephen Spielberg. Based on the novel by HG Wells. Ray is working 12 hour shifts at the docks in New Jersey. His beautiful ex wife has dropped their son and daughter for the weekend. Meanwhile there is a storm brewing. He wasn't exactly the ideal husband and hadn't really connected with his kids. The lightening strike scene is memorable. The Tripods walk along destroying anything in their path. Good special effects and acting. I saw Rick Gonzalez at a shift that I worked. The son and daughter were a liability and annoying. Ray should have ditched them. Worth taking a look. There is the film from 1953 and TV series from 1988 and 2019. Morgan Freeman narrates. You might like Indepence Day, The Fifth Wave, Battlefield LA, Cloverfield, Darkest Hour, Skyline, The Day The Earth Stood Still. 

Golden ticket

Last Action Hero starring Arnold Schwarzenegger · F. Murray Abraham · Art Carney · Charles Dance · Frank McRae · Tom Noonan · Robert Prosky · Anthony Quinn - Austin O'Brien. Screenplay was by Shane Black. A 90s action comedy. Parody, a satirical take on Hollywood. So many easter eggs. Danny is a young boy living in New York with his mother. It is a rough neighbourhood. He often goes to this rundown cinema. Nick is the projector operator. He has a magic golden ticket given to him by Houdini. Danny would be based on Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. In the movie world is Jack Slater who is based on many action film characters. Shoots bad guys, blows things up and smokes a cigar. References are made to the films that were released around the time. There is a villain named Benedict who is working for a mob boss. I would say he was based on The Man With The Golden Gun. The police chief was definitely inspired by Beverly Hills Cop. There are many cameos. Check out the trivia on Imdb. I had been looking at reaction channels. I have seen the film before. The actor that played Cane in Robocop 2 is playing an axe murderer called Ripper. The acting is good. Charles Dance is always superb. Over the top stunts and effects. Plenty of hot women, Bobbie Brown is the one in the video store. I like the soundtrack. I did think that with the theme playing during the villain scenes it has a few notes of The Sound Of Silence. I did wonder about the women in bdsm costumes. Arnie does laugh at himself. Shane worked with him on Predator. This was out in 1993. Anyway I will thank you for visiting this page. Feel free to look around. 

Ripd 2

Jeffrey Donovan · Roy Pulsipher ; Rachel Adedeji · Avatar Roy ; Penelope Mitchell · Jeanne ; Evlyne Oyedokun · Avatar Jeanne ; Jake Choi · Slim Samuels ; Richard Brake - Otis.

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.
