Underwater & Bloodshot


Hey everyone,  I hope all of your are enjoying your Memorial Day weekend.

I watched these films a couple of weeks ago but didn't get around to doing the reviews.
The first one Underwater starts Kristen Stewart from Twilight fame as one of the crew of underwater researchers who are studying underwater life near the bottom of the ocean.

The film starts out at the facility.  But there is not background story or any kind of introduction.  It makes you have questions about the script:  What are they doing down there?  What is happening?  There is no real introduction to why they are there or what is really happening down on the ocean floor.

It is a whirlwind of action and suspense throughout the film.  With various members of the team in peril.  It definitely will keep you on your toes and wondering what will happen next.  I believe you will enjoy the film but asking many questions after you watch it.  I was satisfied with the film but was left with many questions about what happened and why did certain things happen in the film.  So for me I will give it 2 and half Karate Chops for the film overall.  I believe for the thrills and terror you may like it more then me but this is my opinion of what this film does.
I do not have rights to these pictures they are for fair use only.



Now let's get to the second film the one you all have been waiting for.  Bloodshot with Vin Diesel.
This film is an absolute thrill ride and full of action.  I thought this thing was a fantastic adventure/sci-fi film.  As a critic who watches a surplus of films this one stood out to me.  It was fun and action packed.

You could really tell this was buy the producers of Fast & the Furious.  It is just a fun move to watch on a date or with some friends.  As a film as a whole it is not really in depth the characters are interesting but you will need to see the sequel to get the whole story.  I didn't ever realize it was a comic book film until someone at work told me it was one.

This memorial day weekend you are not looking for a in depth film typical Memorials days you want to watch something action packed that will give you a ride you won't forget and this will do that.  It will get your adrenaline fix and it will have you asking for more.  On the rating system I give it 3 Karate chops.  But for fun and action I would give it 4 Karate chops.  I would recommend everyone to rent this film.  If you are interested in what is in the film please check the parent's guide at IMDB.com to find out if you think it is suitable for your children.

Anyway everyone thank you for checking out my blog and enjoy your memorial day weekend.  Please remember our troops who are abroad and those who have passed on.  Their sacrifice means the most.

Bob Marley ONE LOVE

Now I know this is a little late but I saw this with my daughter on Valentine's Day.  I was my daughter's date.  I know she doesn't like me saying that but that is exactly what I was.  My wife was tired from work so I reluctantly agreed to go see this film about Bob Marley.  I had known the background of Bob Marley and that he died around 1980.  But it was still interesting to see his life on the big screen and see the beginnings of his iconic album EXODUS.  It also shows the relationship between him and his wife.   She stayed with him even though he had children with other women she still stuck by him.  Now that is a real woman.  The more I watched the film, the more I missed Haiti and the life I had there with my wife and family.  It made me remember when I first was dating my wife and how gitty we were for each other.   This film is interesting and was done under the supervision of Ziggy Marley who is Bob Marley's son, who is also one of the producers of the film.  Y

Land of Bad

This new film is now out in theaters.  For those of you who like Black Hawk Down and Asian action films, this may be up your alley.  There are 5 soldiers assigned to go into the bush of the Philippines to rescue one of their own.  It is up to the soldiers and one JSAT soldier who helps them control the drones above them.   This film has the Hemsworth brothers in a film together.  Liam is the main character called "Playboy and he makes sure that the drones land where they should on the ground.  Luke plays one of the other soldiers in the group.   This is an action-packed film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.  I really enjoyed the action sequences and the relationships with the soldiers with each other.  They tease the new fish but when they are in the thick of things they are all brothers.  The themes in this film are iconic.  The element of brotherhood for the soldiers and the sense of family is hinted throughout the film.  The one who steals the show is Russell Crowe

Godzilla x King Kong a new empire

  I saw this film a few weeks ago and I guess I figured it was time to do a review of it.  The film has amazing visuals and incredilble action scenes.  But it struggles with making a coherent story and makes you wonder if this new universe or whatever you call this new world of King Kong and Godzilla world will really work in the future.   It makes you wonder about the film and where it is going.  It felt like a action packed film but lacked the mystery and wonder of the original films.  But it is the second film in the franchise maybe the next film will give more coherence to the entire story.   See you at the movies.
