Watched a movie called trial by fire. It was based on a true story of a man in Texas who was executed and it is quite possible he was innocent as exculpatory evidence was beginning to be found. The court would not accept the evidence for various reasons. Anyway there is a lot to the case, I need to read more about the case as a movie will always dramatize but I do know it is a controversial case. I can’t think of much worse than being in prison when you are innocent let alone being executed for it. I have always been against the death penalty as our system is not perfect. It is quite an intense movie i would recommend it.
Started watching a marathon of Alfred Hitchcock Presents now that an actual day off has happened. I'm pacing myself ;D.
Wtf where are you watching it. It was on Hulu for a while but disappeared I was just getting into itQuote:

Quite a fucking battle was midway, it could have gone either way and if Japan had won things could have been a lot different. So I’ll check out Midway tonight haven’t heard any reviews but I think people here said it was good. Last week was Dr. Sleep, I think that was the name. It was based on a book following up on The Shining by Stephen King. I have to say it was pretty good, my wife didn’t like it, too violent or scary I forget her exact complaint.
Oh snap my wife will not watch midway. I forgot the Chinese made the US studies remove reference to chen Kai shek and only include Chinese communists. It was Chen’s forces that helped Doolittles raiders. I remember the controversy about Hollywood and other American companies bowing to Chinese censorship back when the movie came out. Include me in the short memory people too much distraction at the moment
The Lighthouse by Robert Eggers. Same guy that directed The VVitch. Same kind of movie, sparse characters, period piece which immerses the viewer in that era, and very odd vaguely supernatural events occur.
It was very well shot but so ODD
The Courier - Basically The Transporter but a woman as the lead. It's got Gary Oldman in it but fuck me he was surrounded by terrible actors. Imagine if Vinnie Jones and Craig Fairbrass had less talented less successful actor siblings. That's what we're talking about. Truly awful.
Dark Skies - Aliens target a family and all sorts of weird shit pops off. Meh. There were a few moments where I was surprised by it but on the whole, meh is all I can muster. J.K Simmons was the highlight as the alien 'expert'
Athlete A - Documentary following investigative reporters breaking the USA Gymnastics sexual abuse scandal. Larry Nassar was the team doctor for USA Gymnastics and systematically abused young girls for years and shock horror, no fucker did anything about it. Under the cover of being 'a doctor' this bloke was raping kids in front of their parents. Gymnastics is a weird sport. In most sports, at the highest level, you see adults, or young adults competing to be the best in the World. Gymnastics used to be the same up until the late 60's early 70's when the Eastern European children took over. Now, in gymnastics I guess you're basically done by the time you hit 20, too old. The Europeans devised a system that abused young kids mentally and physically in the pursuit of victory. It worked! So it was picked up by USAG and low and behold, they started winning. USAG becomes a massive money making machine and any care, if there was any to begin with for the children is quickly dropped in the name of keeping individuals and corporations happy.
These things happening is both shocking and completely predictable at the same time. Whats also completely predictable and not shocking in the slightest, is that they go on unchecked for as long as possible because someone somewhere decides that the safety of a child, isn't as important as the reputation of an establishment or an individual. The safety of a child isn't as important as money or power.
The house of sand and fog
the old guard
Homefront - Jason Statham is a man who lives in a place and he kicks the ever loving shit out of everyone who gets in his path. It wer reet shit.
It Chapter 2...that movie was long as fuck! It was like watching a LOTR movie. Good movie, spooky, good scares to it. I enjoyed it but it was waaaaaay too long.
I've never found King to be all that scary.
I watched a horror movie, not in the sense of monsters existing but it had something that my college psychology courses never prepared me for even when I saw this movie recommended by my professor. It was, "A clockwork Orange." It reminded me of so-called friends and neighbors and women I could have done without in my life and why every once in a while why people are afraid to close their eyes at night. It makes you wonder what side of those eyelids we are standing on.
'A Clockwork Orange' is wonderful. Firstly Kubrick is perhaps my favorite director of all time. It's quite a mad story as well, really shows you the differences between "protagonist" vs "hero" and "antagonist" vs "villain". I can certainly see how that's a horrifying story. It leads one to believe that we are never far from the extremes of tyranny or anarchy both of which are showcased in the film and that we sit upon a razor's edge with rules, laws, and conscience....things can change in a heartbeat.Quote:

The Aeronauts which was a “truish” film about two adventurers flying a hot air balloon very high for records and scientific discovery. Cinematically it was excellent but the story was limited.
Justice League Dark Apokolips War was an excellent DC comic storyline. Darkseid who is another version of Thanos has conquered Earth. The characters die and get slaughtered including some big hero’s which made the animation better and more realistic than Avengers Infinity/Endgame film.
anyone catch this reference of adrenochrome?Quote:

Peanut Butter Falcon - Loved it. A young man with Downs syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), a small time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak's unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whisky, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak's return, to join them on their journey.
I cant help but like LeBeouf. I hear/read that he's a prick and all that lark but I cant help but like him in films. Dakota Johnson I'd let shit on me. Haden Church is brilliant. Love him in everything. Great film, great spirit. Live life, all that lark. Oh and wrestle.
Formula 51. Actually I scan/fast forward to certain scenes.
When he takes care of the chemist.33mn & 46mn fabulous killing, I watch those 2 over n over, peruse the rest, not a bad movie.

Started watching #Alive. Similar to Train To Busan but with the lone lead barricaded in his apartment. Good special effects on the zombies and timely for this current Covid situation :-X. Going to finally check out Chernobyl too.
Just finished up 'Grandmother's Farm' which is a buddy comedy/horror/thriller made in the UAE. I'm guessing a LOT got lost in translation as the movie was not scary in the least. Also one of the characters in the movie (which was set in present day UAE) was a slave, a full blown "Yes Master" slave.....that's kinda fucking nuts, that there was a slave in a movie and nobody fucking addressed the ownership of another human, but hey whatcha gonna do I guess :dontknow: ?
Also there's a sequel because apparently the movie did very well?
See I thought, UAE + Horror, well they're OBVIOUSLY going to make a movie about drone warfare or the American military or something....no....there's a Djinn (genie) and THAT is the villain.
So I guess I'll watch this sequel....wow, it was ATROCIOUS.....you've all got to watch it!
First time seeing the full doc. Damn fine insight

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Britain in the seventies. Looks like East Germany. :)

Just Mercy starring Michael B Jordon, who is turning into a brilliant actor, where he plays a lawyer getting an innocent black man off in the south from the death penalty.
Wonder Woman 1984 absolute shit.
Saw the early adds and thought they were having a go ;D. Just the 30 seconds and the running looked like the effects were straight from 84 :-XQuote:

Watched The Marksman tonight. I'm glad they've adapted Liam's style to his age. It'd be a tough stretch to see him fighting bad guys "Taken style." ;D
I enjoyed the first Wonder Woman it was good but this one was truly awful. There was no plot, the story was all over the place and made no sense.Quote:
