Bollywood

A film that I watched in the 90s. One of the more popular songs on the soundtrack. In London during the summer. एक फिल्म जो मैंने 90 के दशक में लंदन में देखी थी। साउंडट्रैक पर लोकप्रिय गीतों में से एक। Here is one that I watched in the 80s. Sholay

The fate of the world is in your hands

I have just watched The Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt, Betty Gilpin, Jk Simmons. A Sci fi action film. Amazon Prime presentation. Made by Paramount and Sky Dance. It does have a good mix of actors. Great special effects. Interesting plot. Good soundtrack provided by Lorne Balfe. Beginning in the year 2022. Soldiers from the future have arrived. They come with a warning. In the year 2051 the aliens have invaded. People are being recruited to go fight in a future war. I did predict a character appearing in the future. Alien creatures are fascinating and scary. The protagonist is a science teacher named Dan. He has a wife and daughter. His father that he barely speaks to. It is a 2 hour movie. If you liked Independence Day, Battlefield LA, Arrival, Terminator, Edge Of Tomorrow, Alien, Predator, Jurassic Park then this is for you.

Do you want to build a snowman, I mean play a game?

I have just watched Spiral: From The Book Of Saw. Starring Chris Rock, Max Minghella, Samuel L Jackson. I have seen other films that Rock has been in like Dogma. I remember a film he did with Morgan Freeman. His stand up comedy. There is a behind the scenes tour footage on a Red Hot Chili Peppers dvd where Rock pays them a visit. Sometimes in this game there are no winners. You have Detective Zeke. Trying to be the best that he can at his job. He is dealing with corrupt cops. There is a lot of tension. The Spiral killer is on the loose and has been targeting police officers. The Captain, Angie is hot. As I haven't watched any of the Saw franchise in a while you forget how gruesome it is. There is a nod to the first film and the old theme is there. You workout things as Zeke does. The trap scenes are shown in parts. Who knows if there are any sequels. Worth taking a look.



I went to watch Escape Room Tournament Of Champions at Cineworld. It is a horror film. As I enjoyed the Saw, Hostel, Final Destination, Cube franchises I would see this. You might also like Circle, Exam, Truth Or Die. This begins with a recap of the first film which I have not seen. I did see another film of the same name. The Zoey character is attractive. She and Ben had been in the first game. Having escaped that they were going to solve the mystery of the people running the game and expose them. As soon as I saw one character in the city I knew what would happen. I saw the clues when the psychiatrist was talking to Zoey. They did well with the special effects. A good cast of actors. One woman seemed annoying. A new game has begun. I do believe that these horror movies were influenced by the older films. You might like the soundtrack. Notably the end credits song that reminded me of The Final Destination opening theme. The previous film was released in 2019. The one I saw was from 2017. Anyhow you would hope that they would get the puzzle sorted and get out. Not sure if another film will be made. Taylor Russell as Zoey Davis Logan Miller as Ben Miller Deborah Ann Woll as Amanda Harper Thomas Cocquerel as Nathan Holland Roden as Rachel Ellis Indya Moore as Brianna Collier Carlito Olivero as Theo

Black Widow

I went to the cinema and it had been raining. I went to see Marvel's Black Widow. First of all Stephen Dorff is wrong. I did hope or think that it would take place even before Natasha ever came to work for Tony. Scarlet Johansson and Florence Pugh are hot. With this solo film it has it's own identity. If you like Bond, Bourne then this is a must see. Natasha is on the run. Following on from the events in Captain America Civil War. Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, Ray Winstone also star. You get the origin story in Ohio in the 90s. The family had to flee. With the opening credits you see what happens after. The main villain has super soldiers, assassins. He controls the Red Room. It is where Natasha and her sister were trained. The villain has the Taskmaster causing destruction. There is a chemical antidote that the soldiers are after. Lots of new characters are introduced. Plenty of action. Dry sense of humour. Soundtrack is something else. Pugh and Harbour do steal scenes that they're in. There is a post credit scene. I was unsure whether I would see this. But like with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel I went to watch it and enjoyed the films. I do question the accents from certain actors. Ignore the right-wing reviews that trash a film just for clout. Great cast of actors. It was a great send off. I think this film works especially after Avengers Endgame. Scarlet's time with Marvel is up.

2021

I have just started watching season 7 of The Flash it is finishing off season 6 due to the pandemic. Eva the Mirror Master is still wreaking havoc. Barry is wanting to find Iris and regain his speed. I was using the Surfshark Vpn to watch it on the CW site.





I am continuing to watch Grimm and just finished WandaVision. A great finale.




Snowflakes in the comments are triggered.

Glorious purpose, indeed.

On Disneyplus I have just started watching Marvel's Loki. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson, Tara Strong amongst others. It is quite eccentric. You should have seen High Rise. During the scene in Avengers Endgame, Loki escapes with the Tesseract. He winds up getting captured by the Time Variant Agency. They try to prevent any time travel especially when the criminal causes a new branch of a timeline to exist. An eclectic soundtrack, good effects and acting. Interesting that Loki gets to witness parts of his timeline. Morbius has a job for him. Funny scenes. One part looks as if he could play 007. The actress that plays the judge was in Doctor Who. The little girl who was in the church reminds me of the Olsen sisters. "End Of File" is written on a tape. File being an anagram of Life. People will have theories. See the reaction channels. The composer Natalie Holt once threw eggs at Simon Cowell on BGT. The soundtrack will be available soon. After having watched WandaVision, Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier I revisited a few Marvel films. Scenes which I had forgotten about. Adds context to what happened in later films and the TV shows. Reminded of how attractive some of the women are.
