This individual film is very interesting and fun to dig into but "okay". It lacks a presence of fear that war and horror should produce and instead develops a emotional foundation around a single character which limits the ability to display the true horror of the situation. It is fun to watch the idea of a common person become a idol (figure like superhero) and raise an league of fighters to defeat a villian. I do believe this series of movie is a cheap shot to tell this story and causes a shortcoming in the climax of the plot, silly twist that don't add creativity to the story, and a emotional depression that stigmatizes the actions of the actors. I do believe this should have been a episode base seasonal show that allowed for an expansion into the hunger games themselves and a lengthy war against the capitol with numerous battles carried out under numerous heroic figures. But, this series of films does set a stage for possible future spin offs involving the hunger games, it is my opinion that it is simple NOT the best option.

White Men Can't Jump
(2023)
White Men Can't Jump is a joke.
16 June 2023
The story is twisted out of realism and scripted into a joke that must purely be taken as a REMAKE and NOT an improvement. The Jeremy and Kamal characters are not portrayed with enough perils in poverty to provoke the idea of street gambling as a sourse of income. The music used in the movie makes silly of the conversation between Jeremy and Kamal as there relationship develops which seems to attempt to hide poor story development. The basketball side of the story is poor and lacks creativity by the director. However, the idea of the two developing a skillset together in basketball that can be driven into a 'two on two' tournament is well within the grips of the story. So, it does earn the title of White Men Can't Jump.

Action Packed Combat and Suspense
14 August 2022
You got the gore of John Wick and you got the mind of Jason Bourne shaking hands with Jackie Chan and Tom Clancy. The action, combat, and suspense carries the story well although the acting narrative makes for poor transition in between. Nevertheless, the film is full of action sequences making it quite outstanding.
Prey
(I) (2022)
Classic Predator Kill
7 August 2022
Defeating the Predator with the odds against you. This fits right into the classic Predator movies. The film maybe oddly consumed in English as the characters present themselves in Native American nature. It may also favor the "defeating the Predator" combat art that is classic but somewhat repetitive.
The Old Guard

They're Hidden Superhero
17 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The story comes with militant warfare and it's immortal soldiers. The investigative interest of a man for the sake of medicine for humanity, seeks out these hidden immortals for testing. Its a sort of idea where superheros are hidden from the limelight.

The Curse of King Tut's Tomb
(2006 TV Movie)
Wow, Nice accent to the whole tomb saga
27 June 2020
I would say this film split the barriers of the tomb type movie gig. We all know, The Mummy movies, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones movies, and even National Treasure. The film has an adventure that is pre-registered in anyone's mind who have seen those type movies. Bad news is it lacks originality and has some poorly played action sequences. The overall feel for the film is good enough for a TV flick which it is a TV flick.
