Overlord, A Christmas Story Christmas and On the line.

 






Now I know it has been a long time since my last review but I just saw this film and I really didn't know why I haven't watched it before.  It is a tour de force action on every level.  It starts out that a platoon is assigned to take out a tower in a French town, east of Normandy.  The platoon is blown to shreds and only but a few survive to take on the tower.  

When they arrive in this town they meet a French woman that takes them in even though the town is infested with Nazi troops.  It is a fight for survival for this group of 4 or 5 soldiers to take out the tower and also stop the Nazi's from having superhuman troops that will not die.  Can this squad do it?  It is for you to watch and find out.  

There is action on every turn of this film and I will recommend anyone who is a fan of World War 2 movies that includes a Resident Evil type feel.  It starts out like your typical WW2 films but then takes a turn which makes the movie a film for all SciFi fans to enjoy. 


Many of you may wonder why did they need to make another Christmas Story movie when there are already 2.  Well you will just have to ask Warner Brothers.  They are the ones who greenlit this new project that now airs on HBO Max.  It revisits Ralphie, his friends, and all of the family.  

Ralphie is all grown up now in 1973.  His father dies and he needs to go back home before Christmas.  Now Ralphis is a writer and is trying to get his book published.  Since his book has hit a dead end he is asked to write his father's obituary and all kinds of mayhem ensue.  

The good thing about this film is that they got most of the old cast to come back and reprise their roles in this revisiting of the original Christmas Story.  It is entertaining and it will get you in the Christmas Spirit.  I would recommend this film to you and your family.  




This film is another one of Mel Gibson's low budget adventures in movies.  In this film he is a disc jockey who does a midnight show on the radio and recieves an anonymous tip on one of the phone lines.  He quickly learns that he is being blackmailed.  He has the night to find the kidnappers and his family.  

This is a thriller that is really interesting.  It is a lower budget movies so no major stars besides Kevin Dillon who has appeared in other low budget films Mel has been in.  It is not a film for everyone but if you go into it with a good attitude and an open mind you maybe able to enjoy this.  I would say this film is for adults there is some language in the film but over all it is entertaining.  Just go into it with an open mind.  That's all for now enjoy the films, and I will see you at the movies.

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.
