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.

What If

I have just started to watch Marvel What If. It is on Disneyplus. Episode 1 is where Peggy Carter takes the super soldier serum. The animation is impressive. Hayley Atwell is an attractive woman, great actress. I reckon the people simping over Lady Dimitrescu will like Captain Carter. The right-wing youtubers will be triggered. Odd nods to the normal MCU. Has humour and action. I like the soundtrack. I may update the post but I'm not sure. Worth taking a look.

Please enjoy your flight

I watched Blood Red Sky. A horror film that has vampires. The trailer does show alot. The film in in German and English. You get the option of multiple languages and subtitles. The opening scene has a plane arriving at a British army base. Probably could have done without it. Go to flashback mode to the beginning of the story. Nadja is suffering from a mysterious illness and there is a cure in New York. She must board a plane to get there. The son Elias was a little annoying. You have a multitude of characters. Good acting, stunts, music. The actress Peri Baumeister does remind me of Naomi Rapace. Dominic Purcell has played a vampire in Blade Trinity. Imdb trivia will mention that. A bunch of terrorists have hijacked the plane. Eightball is a psycho. You learn a bit more about the infection. I am left wondering how many others might be like this. There will be spoiler filled discussions on the story. I am reminded of Die Hard 2, Flight Of The Living Dead, Quarantine 2 Terminal. Showing on Netflix.

Task force x

I went to see The Suicide Squad at Cineworld. I would class this as a sequel. Some old faces return and new ones are introduced. James Gunn directs. Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Flula Borg, Pete Davison, Viola Davis, Peter Capaldi, Sylvester Stallone, Sean Gunn, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Storm Reid amongst others star in this film. It does contain gratuitous violence, gore, sex, swearing and nudity. Some nice boobs on display. If you enjoy The Boys then you might like this. Task Force X have been sent to an island. There have been top secret experiments happening there. They must destroy the lab and all the evidence. The local government stands in their way. Surprised at how it pans out in the beginning for some of the characters. It had been getting praise. Good use of visual graphics and special effects. Nice soundtrack. There is a TV series happening too. Daniela and Margot are hot. Impressive fight scenes. Good humour. A great cast of actors that includes the extras and stunt team. The CW would not be able to get away with half the shit. I haven't seen the Harley Quinn show that is amusing from a few of the clips that I have seen. Interesting to see what others think. I decided to watch David Ayer's Suicide Squad again. I had no problem with it. Downloaded another song from the soundtrack.
