Diary of a Spy (2022)


This film opened in a limited release today it is also on Amazon where you can rent it or buy it.  I have never been more thrilled than I have in this film.  A story about a washed-up CIA agent who is given one last job in order for her to have any kind of future in her life.  

She is given the assignment of becoming the girlfriend of a tutor to someone from a Saudi family.  It leads to all kinds of complicated relationships and having the main character asking should I finish the job or should I follow my heart.  

I didn't know much going into this film but it is fantastic.  It is slow-moving but still interesting.  It makes you question is she in love or is she still going to do her job.  It keeps you wondering the whole film.  But there are still questions at the end of the movie you may be wondering about?  What happened to them?  Which agencies were they actually working for?  It is interesting all around and those of you who like complicated love stories will like it.  

The performance given by Tamara Taylor is magnificent.  She really shows the range and I think she may be doing more than TV in the future.  Also a strong performance by Reece Noi who plays the tutor.  4 out of 5 for me and it is really a great emotional movie.  Enjoy and take care.

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.
