A Quiet Place is a horror movie written, directed by and starring John Krasinski. It also has Emily Blunt and a few child actors. They all did well. You may have seen Signs, Extinction, The New Daughter, It Comes At Night. It's post apocalyptic America. Not many humans are left. These monsters roam the streets and are attracted by loud sounds. That's why our characters must remain quiet. Minimal dialogue. Using sign language and subtitles are shown. Some words blend into the background. Nice special effects. It has a good soundtrack. I knew something would happen with that toy. A good film that I recommend.

You Were Never Really Here is a thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix. It is a strange film. Some dialogue I couldn't make out so I recommend subtitles. You have this mercenary in New York. A hired hitman in a way. He is sent to rescue a teenage girl from a sex ring. He uses violence when necessary. Things don't go to plan. Amazon Studio/Film Four 2018. You may have seen Leon, The Equalizer. Based on a novel. Directed by Lynn Ramsey. There are flashbacks to the protagonist's childhood. He has other thoughts which the audience get to see. So I was left wondering 'what did I just watch?' Plenty of violence. Joe is his name. He lives with his elderly mother. There is a bonus feature. I try to understand the asphyxiation thing. You might make more sense out of the novel.

Set in a post apocalyptic future. Global warming amongst other natural disasters happened. Mid 21st century. With the look of it is similar to a western, Terminator Salvation, The Walking Dead, Mad Max, Interstellar, The Day, The Book Of Eli, Logan, Stakeland. Our bounty hunter played by Gina Carano is on horseback dragging a coffin on a rope. You may have seen her in Haywire, Deadpool. Water and air are scarce. John Hannah plays Doc. He is a mentor to Attica Gage. Be interesting to see what the reviews are like. Silver is something that helps with air purification. Must look at the science behind that. That shootout with Chavo/Javo. Gage does get to her gun slowly. When she has to roll towards it. She could have been shot. There are storms. I think the cars are referred to as Burners. But saw a scene where storm clouds were approaching and they were shooting fire. I could be mistaken. The lady miming the country song is a little off. She is hot as is Gina. Gage is lying in bed being tended to buy the Doc and you can see her nipples poking through the top.
