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 who has a stellar performance as a washed-up captain that helps lead the group home.  I would not recommend it for families that don't like swearing or a lot of action or shooting and it can be very graphic.  But for most filmmakers and those who love war and action movies like I do, this may be the one for you.  It keeps you guessing and wondering what will happen.  

Approach with caution because this film will have you laughing and crying at parts.  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

Equalizer 2 before Equalizer 3

  I don't own the rights to these posters, I am using them as fair use.   Hello everyone, it's Lance here again with another review.  This is not a new movie but before the new Equalizer 3 comes out I thought I would write this one.  Equalizer 2 is a great film all around.  If you don't like movies that have an immense amount of swearing and action then this is not your kind of film.   The film starts with Robert Mccall played by Denzel Washington again fighting for what is right and taking out those who do wrong to others.  He quotes in the film about how he is trying to atone for his sins of the past.  Telling one person how they need to repent or atone for their sins.  The person says I don't have any sins.  Isn't that the tone of most people?  Most people don't think they are doing anything wrong from their past, and they will just keep living the life they always have lived instead of making things right in the world and striving for the greater good.   The
