The Rock (1996)
10/10
Ex James Bond Old man Is Flushed Out From Prison Cell To Help Save The Day For Wiping Out A Crisis Situation
5 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Sean Connery the best and first James Bond is the main focus over here in this movie because he already has a loyal fan base in existence sadly he is no longer alive and breathing amongst us R. I. P.

This movie is centered around him actually because he plays the role of the main character and not Nicolas Cage do not be fooled by the characters names in the end credits.

What happens when you are faced with some mad men who start feeling sorry for them selves and start demanding things from the United States Of America government regarding their achievements in the U. S armed forces and start to create some issues for the country that might be internal issues in the form of missiles that are targetted towards innocent civilians.

However still this issue some times cannot be properly eradicated by the government so perhaps may be find an agent who has been through and seen similar situations and in every routine and who else is there to call upon to fix this issue than the iconic retro former 007 agent Sean Connery (R. I. P). To fix and resolve this issue however there is some thing very strange that happens at the very end of the movie when Sean Connery (R. I. P) successfully resolves this issue he wants to remain not only anonymous but in he runs away to a remote secure location so this means he does not want any credit for his brave actions that have saved the countless civilian lives of the United States Of America. No credit meaning following: 1. Recognition for his achievements in the form of medals and media attention.

2. Monetary rewards 3. Location rewards as well.

(R. I. P) Sir Sean Connery you will always be remembered, thank you for your services to humanity in the entertainment industry.

Predator 2 (1990)
10/10
Danny Glover Is The Relatable Street Cop Every City Needs If Such A Threat Occurs.
2 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Predator 2 is the successor to Predator 1 but this one does not have Arnold Shwzenegger in it no no this one has a relatable, every day street smart cop who has to go through a daily routine where he has to face not only all of criminals, gangs, thugs, mafia, but also dealing with the corrupt police department but there is more the people hiding in the underworld that are running the city behind the scenes he knows about them as well why not as their as on old saying either pay a cop or go to jail and am talking about the legendary cop here played expertly by Danny Glover. Dany Glover is better known for lethal weapon franchise and always will be really however this is his best iconic/retro performance up till date.

Predator 2 is about one concept really which a lot of people failed to understand really If predator 1 was about a lone vigilante predator 2 is about a vigilant person who is set against this menacing creature/alien that humanity cannot understand really. Predator is a monster no one understand but his motives are quite clear he has one purpose really to hunt down and kill and cause as much people as possible so when he see one of these things around what can you do really? Just breathe or run may be perhaps you cannot fight such monsters It is like fighting a giant shark in the ocean from the meg.

Predator 2 also has Gary Busey in it which brings that extra comedic value in the movie but you must watch the movie to find out.

Plot is simple Predator comes to Los Angeles California and all mayhem sets loose and then we see the war rage on the LA city police man Danny Glover played here as an LAPD police officer named Mike Harrigan and boy this fight is so enjoyable to watch even more enjoyable than Predator 1 really but that is just my opinion cause I will always root for the underdog.

The Terminal List (2022– )
10/10
This is a great action thriller which message is crystal clear do not betray your country
1 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
A country is a geographical marked location which is policed under a specific territory and that specific territory is marked with specific defenses the glossary for this kind of defenses is called a WALL. The United States Government the current super power makes sure that this defensive wall is never breached and since they are the super power of this world currently they make sure to apply the same rules 1000x times more. The question is who or what is this defense wall of course it is their army. And then comes the segregation in the form of Air, Land and sea and the sea one is specifically assigned for protection to the United States Of America Navy armed forced.

Yet just like any department their will be greedy and corrupt officers following rules of hidden organizations that might be involved in activities that are performed so they get more and more rich. Of course these organizations are hidden from public knowledge but what if you are a US navy seal on a covert operation and get assigned a serious mission on the battle field and you loose all your friends/war buddies in the process and then these same people responsible kidnap you and kill of your wife and only daughter? This victim is played perfectly by Chris Pratt as he plays the main hero of this Tv Series and we see every mystery unveiled through his eyes.

However there is a plot and then their is a sub plot and the sub plot involves around the main villian of the tv series played perfectly by Taylor Kitsch. Who is revealed at the last ending moment of the last episode of season 1.

There is an old and true saying A clever enemy is better than a stupid friend and you heard it many times so go ahead and write it on a stone some where and keep that stone on your food table so that when you eat you can read this over and over again because we human beings forget even our names some times as mental diseases are rampant and age might slow you down perhaps. Yes you nailed it alright I loved this tv show because Taylor Kitsch played that clever enemy role to almost perfection may be his best performance ever really. All the time Taylor Kitsch gives the impression without doubt that he is Main heros best friend and most trusted ally and leads him to not only destroy all his traitor enemies but also joins him as a war buddy on his various skirmishes all through out the duration of the tv series. Ill give this tv show a 10/10 really cause it is something unique, fresh, never done before, great cast and intense story telling and a great outing from amazon prime really.

Bright (I) (2017)
10/10
If You Are A Fan Of Peter Jackson Lord Of The Rings Franchise Then Consider This As A Gift From David Ayers Version Except Set In Modern Times
30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
David Ayer is a niche specific Director that is famous for movies that usually depict cop buddies in tight settings this is his best Movie yet till this date and luckily for ya all interested a sequel is already in the works.

Will Smith having gained crucial experience by playing the lead role in Bad Boys franchise that consists of 3 movies already and I cannot confirm a 4th one really but I did heard rumor's about a 4th one coming soon and is playing the lead role as a human cop named Daryl Ward who is partnered with an Elf Cop named Nick Jakoby played here perfectly by Joel Edgerton.

The movie plots surrounds around this magical artifact which these cop duo stumble upon accidently this relic which is a magical wand which can explode if used without caution. This cop duo must fight it out to hand this magical wand to the right person played by a young elf named Tikka. Sadly these two have to overcome many obstacles including corrupt cops, gangsters, and this mysterious main villian named Leliah who is trying to awaken this monster of sorts to fight along side her.

Well In my title I compared it to Lord Of The Rings Franchise specifically the Peter Jackson version but set in modern day settings. The conflict between different species in the form of tensions are fully explored by David Ayer direction and the writing is top notch. The action scenes and special effects are a great pleasure to watch as well. I am going to give it a 10/10 cause for me this was a unique over all viewing experience and am waiting in anticipation to watch the sequel as well.

Ip Man 3 (2015)
10/10
Donnie Yen Again With A Solid Performance Yet The Fight Scene With Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Alone Makes It The Best Movie In The Entire Franchise
30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Donnie Yen plays the iconic role of Yip Man 3 yet again thankfully for three movies in a row. Donnie Yen Stole the show in John Wick 4 even Scot Atkins played a great cameo but sadly Keanu Reeves performance was pretty disappointing playing a mortal assassin yet acting as if he is immortal with zero emotions being displayed his role is about phrases like YEAH which shows as if he never felt any pain what so ever even he felt down over a 1000 stairs this I cannot gallop really.

I will not go into plot details into this one but expect the Yip Man saga to continue on his adventures and this time he is shown well settled in Hong Kong but things goes bananas when his sons school is disturbed by a poisonous property developer and when you give problems to Yip Mans son you are going to unleash Yip Mans night mares on to your self and that is the basic plot really.

The fight scene with multiple times world HEAVY weight boxing phenom Mike Tyson shows both Donnie Yens and The Champions skills on full display; there is no literally holding back in this excellently choreographed hand to hand combat scene which is so epic that it broke all YouTube algorithms on record proportions.

This movie is a 10/10 for the mentioned fight scene alone so if you have the chance do give it a watch.

English Movie Version Of Squid Game But Released A Decade Earlier
30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Every one accustomed to the mission impossible movie franchise know that It can exist without Luther the master mind computer analyst that is part of Ethan Hunts Team played by Ving Rhames. If you are his fan then you must surely have watched or should watch his movie The Tournament in which he plays the main role unlike in the mission impossible franchise. Released over a decade ago The Tournament has a huge resemblance with the recent Netflix hit tv series Squid Game.

The plot is super simple and formulaic and has been done many times before and may be perhaps will be done in the future as well cause some how it always works cause its simply like the old saying the rich want the poor people to fight and hurt each other for the crumbs that they gather from their food tables. It is a simple concept which every one who is poor or middle class do not simply do not want to wake up to because the reason is simple their survival instincts take full control of them and they forget that the element of unity is far greater than giving the people the benefits of the conflicts that rage between these hungry people. We see the exact same scenario when we see that billionaire lying on his death bed and revealing the fact to the main hero in Squid Game that he was one of the event organizers of Squid Game in which he also actively participated just so that he can enjoy these people who are hungry for money tear each other apart.

The cast does not only have Ving Rhames In it but it also have a priest, a Chinese woman played by Kelly Hu and some other notable characters so it is rock solid and you cannot find any weakness here really.

The plot revolves around death battle type tournament held every 7 years with 30 people participating who have some sort of tracking chips and if they do not kill their one opponent at least inside 24 hours that will trigger an explosion and also one more thing to note here that for viewing pleasure for the organizers that have bet on the winner have surveillance cameras placed across all the vicinity just like Squid Game has them. The rule of the tournament is simple either kill or be killed and of course last man standing wins the.10 million dollars grand cash prize.

If you are under 18 years old or even weak of heart then do not watch this movie as it has blood and gore in it and lots of it really. This movie has some obscenity in it as well. But if you are interested in the Battle Royal niche and a fan of Ving Rhames then this is a must watch for you really. As he steals the show from the start till the very end of the movie with his dialogue delivery and action performance. Now hold on you must be saying Ving Rhames is an over weight person as seen as Luther in the mission impossible franchise then how come he can easily perform his action scenes. Well simple this movie was released long time ago and back then he was in great physical shape so you do not have to worry about that aspect really.

One most important thing also about this movie is that it is a B-Movie basically but with high production value so it competes quite well with the main stream content that we are used to seeing really. I am giving this one a 10/10 rating cause of many reasons and the main being that it is one of the few movies that is starring Ving Rhames in the starring role really.

A Great Movie About How A Corrupt Government Can Power Abuse Surveillances Technology Against Any Body Really
30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
There are many regulatory authorities that keep a check and balance on government having access and how they control surveillance technology if used without responsibility the consequences can be huge. Will Smith stars in this one and yes we all know how he failed to adhere to the rules of the Oscars by making a behavioral mistake that was not expected of him by slapping Chris Rock In front of every one well even though he got punished for his offence I have decided to boycott his recent works tbh cause I cannot agree as to what he did was right. Barring all of this you cannot deny the fact that Will Smith has an established career well over decades and he got to fame from Fresh Prince Of Belair which has a tv series out recently as well. Will Smith is basically a comedian but he has the ability to play serious roles as well.

In this movie Will Smiths character plays the role of a lawyer who is quite successful and is given some information by a friend who some how is a target of some high ranking government officials regarding the murder of a congressman. Well the movie never wastes any time and soon we learn that friend gets murdered some how and Will Smith character becomes the prime target.

Will Smith character goes on the run and some how finds the guidance of an ex NSA agent played by the legendary Gene Hackman. You can see Gene Hackman character immediately identifying the situation Will Smith character is playing. In the first meeting Gene Hackman character tells Will Smith character to remove all clothes as the buttons might have chips inside them that are part of the surveillance. And that is the whole plot of the movie on how Will Smith character will survive this extremely complicated situation of being under constant surveillance when the authorities are out to hunt him down as there seems to be no way to hide for him really but he some how finds a way as he is the hero of this movie of course he does the question is how he does it that is really entertaining to watch really.

We see people warn us about surveillance and how we can limit it by powering off our cell phones and putting a tape on top of our laptops cameras and then we have whistle blowers like Edward Snowden who have curated similar incidents like these so this might be a conspiracy theory for some but after doing research from reliable sources it is public knowledge really. This is what makes this movie not only entertaining to watch which is a spy/espionage thriller but also the topic of surveillance is really interesting to explore really. Who can forget the epic performance of Gene Hackman playing as Brill which adds that extra quality to the movie which it desperately needs a must watch movie that you can enjoy, learn and watch with your family and friends really.

Rush Hour 2 (2001)
10/10
The Best Buddy Cop Comedy Movie Ever To Be Released From Hollywood And The Entire Rush Hour Franchise
30 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Starring Chris Tucker the famous stage comedian and International martial arts super star Jackie Chan And directed by Bret Ratner. This movie has every thing a person can wish for and have not aged till this day. Lets just compare it to the recently released Bad Boys movie that is also an establish franchise and has some comedy in it as well cannot compete with this classic comedy/action movie.

The movie is stolen by none other than the performance of Chris Tucker who is not only famous for being a stage comedian but also has played an iconic role at the very start of his career in The Fifth Element. His jokes are simply too genuine to ignore really and his chemistry with Jackie Chan is very funny to watch as you are emotionally invested in the movie through out its duration time.

The plot is simple really a bomb blast happens at the US consulate general resulting in some heavy losses interns of lives. Carter and Lee are assigned to investigate this case and they start by going to the triads leader for interrogation which eventually leads them to Tan who have his counterfeiting operation and might be the lead suspect.

Rush Hour 2 is miles ahead in terms of quality from both Rush Hour 1 and 3 respectively in my personal opinion and grossed over 340 million dollars at the world wide box office way back in 2001 which is no mean feat so I give it a 10/10 as it is a great movie experience all round.

The Prestige (2006)
10/10
Christopher Nolan Best Movie After Momento - Sacrifice Indeed Is The Biggest Secret
29 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
One of my favorite Hollywood directors Christopher Nolan famous for shooting movies in Imax and credited with the Billion dollars box office franchise The Batman series offers some thing that has a strong message for the viewers which is that Sacrifice is indeed the biggest secret.

Starring batman himself Christian Bale famous for playing the psycho character from American Psycho, Michael Cain who played butler in Batman movies, Hugh Jackman and of course who can forget the ever talented Scarlet Johansson who famously played the Russian spy called Black Widow from The Avengers franchise.

The main plot is very simple two best friends are novice magicians set in over 200+ years old setting suddenly go on different paths and become biggest enemies. Both magicians played by our two main characters Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are fighting out in a fierce competition on who gets the most clout really. Hugh Jackman character wants to know how Christian Bale is pulling off his main magic trick which I will not spoil but this specific magic trick is the main plot of the movie.

This movie has great character build up and excellent story but my favorite movie character is Michael Caine whose famous one lines really stand out in the movie. It is a 10/10 of all the way and in a way it is a bit dissapointing that Christopher Nolan cannot produce the same quality of work like he used to before Tenant came out but I will hope that this great director produce something great in the future as sadly from the reviews of Openhiemer I am not impressed from it that much as it is being beaten in the world wide box office by Barbie by a huge margin really which is a huge insult for the caliber of director that Christopher Nolan is and I cannot tolerate his movie being at number 2 spot but hey I can understand one thing that Barbie is an establish toy with history of marketing behind it from decades so of course the kids content like this a recent example like Mario movie who broke the Billion dollars Mark might achieve their Box office success so it is no surprise really but still cannot see him fail like this at the Box Office I am afraid :(.

Uwe Boll Does It Again This Is Surely A Masterpiece And A Must Watch
29 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Previously Known as assault on wallstreet and now the name is changed however do not expect this Uwe Boll directed movie to be one of his video game adaptations like Far Cry and Alone In The Dark this is a serious drama about a man played by Dominic Purcell from (Prison Break) (Blade 3) fame who is under lots and lots of debt so much that he cannot afford to pay his medical bills as well. One day he is sick and tired of this financial slavery and decides ok if he is going down he will take down the entire financial system that are responsible for his and his family demise.

Dominic Purcell goes on a Rampage like a mad man in full vigilante mode and takes matter into his own hands vs the corporations that are responsible for his downfall and teaches them a lesson that they will never forget.

Yes this movie is sort of a conspiracy theory on how the people running this world are making us financially unstable and take us into slavery just like a poker player cannot stop him self from playing even though he/she does not have the means to keep playing even and the blackhole/dumpster fire keeps piling up. This crazy movie becomes entertaining from start to finish brilliantly acted by Dominic Purcell and supporting cast and excellently directed by the best Hollywood underrated director from Germany Uwe Boll so it is a much watch no obscenity can be found 10/10 all the way really.

This Mini Tv Series Is Some How More Enjoyable Than The Bourne Franchise
28 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
We know by now that the formula of a CIA agent who has amnesia (Memory Loss) is being hunted down by the government agencies and some how through his training he overcomes these obstacles and find the culprits who are behind the conspiracy to frame the main hero for something he never committed. The Bourne Franchise comes to mind perhaps however many people have actually being reading about another established franchise called XIII which has multiple video game adaptations as well which I played on my playstation 2 over 2 decades ago.

XIII Mini series is a great tv show that gives you the XIII agent played by Stephen Dorph a great actor who is that CIA agent with amnesia issue who is target of a conspiracy that he some how finds a way to clear his name. Brilliantly acted, good action scenes, Has Val Kilmer, good story, and great ending. You should definitely check it out I gave it a 10/10. Oh and one more thing this mini tv series has no obesity in it.

Blade II (2002)
10/10
Still The Best Vampire Action Movie Ever To Be Released By Hollywood
28 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie stars Wesley Snipes who has left the industry for a long time but unlike blade 3 which was ruined by Ryan Reynolds who stole valuable screen time from Wesley Snipes character this movie fully understands the importance of Wesley Snipes as he is the main focus of the plot.

The movie centers around a new breed of Vampire that is terrorizing the city and the vampire community are forced to ally with their biggest enemy that is Blade.

The action scenes, fight choreography, supporting actors, story, ending and direction is top notch. Saying that it is a better movie from all of the Underworld series is big statement however this movie has every thing a vampire action movie must have however make sure that you are 18+ before watching this movie as it is strictly for adults as it contains loads of violence, blood and gore. 10/10 all the way really as this movie never gets old.

The Old Man (2022– )
1/10
1 Star Only Because Of The Excellent Performance By Jeff Bridges As The Retired CIA Agent
27 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Now hold on for a moment you might be thinking hey you gave it a 1/10 yes indeed I gave it however this is only my opinion about this tv series. The Old Man is a gritty thriller tv series filled with intensity and espionage. You will find twists all through the series and excellent acting by Jeff Bridges playing a retired CIA agent who is on the run after the agency calls out for his head.

My issue is the ending and the ending is so strong that I 100 percent not only disagree with it but also I feel the concept of this whole tv series goes down to 0 and that is why the one star really. But If you are a fan of Jeff Bridges then do not think twice about watching this tv series as this is his best performance ever perhaps.

A Great Message About How A Man Finally Finds His Redemption
27 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Sean Bean is one of my all time favorite actors. He is famous for dyeing in most of his movies yet he has made a name for him self who can play all sorts of roles. This is a Tv-Series though and in it Sean Bean character is an alcoholic who goes on to accidently kill some one while drunk driving. For this Sean Bean is imprisoned and we see the story through his eyes how the prison system works and how he has to survive each and every day however eventually not only his prison sentence is over in the end but the victims wife also goes on to forgive him in the end as well.

The 2nd main character in the tv-series is a police detective whos son is also caught up in the prison system and he tries to protect his son which ever means necessary however he looses his job in the end though watch to find out more great drama and there is something to be learned from this tv-series 10/10 and hoping Sean Bean stars in some other good movies or tv-shows perhaps as recently since this tv-series I did not enjoy any of his other works.

Furie (2019)

A good action movie that is the Vietnamese take on Taken
23 December 2019
Well simple story of a debt collecting mother that will go to full lengths into protecting her daughter thats the premise. The real kicker are the fight sequences where unlike in taken you get to see some hand to hand Vietnamese kungfu thrown into the mix which is a delight to watch. This movie is 10/10 as an action movie fan for me do not miss it as its far more entertaining then the CGI filled movies these days that are coming out from Marvel.

6 Ways to Die (2015)
10/10
This movie gives you a mind blender
13 August 2015
Warning: Spoilers
6 ways to die might not be your average main stream movie but it was never meant to be, this is your straight up B movie which is like so bad its good, but what will really make you impressed are the small twists and small stories of different interesting characters on how they lie, steal, manipulate, kill, and most of all the main character John Doe played by Vinnie Jones to perfection on how he gives tasks to all sorts of interesting characters to bring down a ruthless Cartel Boss.

You have to see the ending which is kind of open ended and to be honest i never understood it, its the best ending in a movie i have ever seen cause you can take out so many possibilities as to what was actually happening or was it just imagination i wont spoil it for you but this movie surely is recommended.

Warning:

After you see the ending you might have a totally negative reaction because of its open ended nature and you might think there was no back story to it at all or the movie might have had so many plot holes which aren't touched at all but this ending will make you think so much and thats why i gave it a perfect score of 10/10
