Movie Gem: Bollywood: Mary Kom (2014)
Those were my initial thoughts. By the time the movie was over, I was eating my words.
PC worked it! She was super awesome playing the role of a real-life female boxer, Mary Kom.

Movie Review: The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
- “This is a typical storyline. Something devastating or catastrophic is going to happen on earth. And of course, the one who knows what it is, what to do, and tries to warn others is the very person that nobody listens to!!”

Old But Gold Movies: Review: “There Will Be Blood” (2007)
I HATED THIS MOVIE!!!
I don’t care for all of the movies where Daniel Day-Lewis is the star, even if he is a “Sir”. But I do know that he always gives 200% whenever he gives a performance.
This film won 2 Oscars. One award was for Best Achievement in Cinematography: Robert Elswit. The other was given to Daniel Day-Lewis for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.
He was good! He played his part well. He was so good that I HATED HIM!!
I HATED THIS MOVIE!!!
If I met any of those people in real life I would run away from them!
I only liked 2 characters: the adopted son (of Daniel Day-Lewis) and the girl he fell in love with.
As for the character played by Daniel Day-Lewis and that preacher he was always butting heads with?
I HATED BOTH OF THEM! I HATED THEIR GUTS!!
So was there blood? If you have not seen the movie, I don’t want to spoil it for but … yeah! Blood was definitely shed.
Sean Fennessey, a writer for The Ringer, a publication that covers sports, pop culture, and tech, provided a succinct description of this film in his movie review:
Never crawl out? Never??
What a relief to know that it was just a movie and not a historical account of real events.
So relax. If you are pursuing the American dream … dream on!

Korean Movie Review: Unlocked (2023)
UNLOCKED IS A KOREAN FILM STREAMING ON NETFLIX, RELEASED IN 2023. A YOUNG WOMAN LOSES HER SMARTPHONE. A SERIAL KILLER FINDS IT AND TURNS HER LIFE INTO A LIVING HELL!
Lee Na-Mi (played by Chun Woo-hee, “Love, Lies“) is a female hustler. She’s intelligent, talented, hard-working, has excellent marketing skills, and holds down more than one job. When she’s not working beside her dad in his cafe, she is doing other jobs related to marketing products via social media technology. Like most young people her age, she uses her smartphone FOR EVERYTHING!! Work and play. Her device has loads of photos with friends and family, as well as lots of revealing.text messages. Very revealing. It’s surprising how innocent innocuous casual conversations via text messages reveal a lot about an individual.
Lee Na-Mi is smart but she did something not so smart. She got stupid drunk and in her drunken stupor lost her smartphone. A serial killer found it.
You can guess what happened next?

Movie Review: ‘Midway’ (2019) | A Certain Point of View, Too (Reblog)
The remake released in 2019. The cast? Not nearly as impressive. Per the reviewer: "Casual viewers will probably enjoy it; it is, after all, a film about one of the most famous U.S. victories of World War II; ... History buffs, though, will find more that is foul than fair in Midway." Uh-huh. I'm thinking that's not a compliment.
According to the movie reviewer Alex Diaz-Granados, it doesn't matter who the actors were, both films were disappointing. Quite frankly, I am very sorry to read this kind of review of a war movie. US military/war movies are for the express purpose of stoking one's patriotic fervor. It makes no sense to make a war movie that sucks! (O.o) There are veterans still alive who survived World War II. If they watch such movies, what must they think? Eh! It is what it is. It's a movie! If you want historical facts on record, you should probably watch a documentary.
I suppose if you just want to be entertained you should add either film to your Watch List. But it's unlikely that you'll feel like jumping up and singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic when you get to The End.

Korean Sci-Fi Movie Review: JUNG_E (2023)
JUNG_E is a Korean sci-fi movie, released in 2023, and currently streaming on Netflix. It is set in the post-apocalyptic world in the 22nd century (the year is 2194) and an institute is working on a special project to create the ultimate soldier who will always win!
The real soldier, Captain Yun Jung-yi, was injured during a battle and ended up in a coma. Her “consciousness” has been kept alive and a team of scientific researchers have been trying to recreate her by copying her brain data and putting it into android bodies.
The research team is led by Yun Seo-hyun, the daughter of Captain Yun Jung-yi. Yun Seo-hyun found out that Kronoid, the institute she worked for, had changed the mission of her project. Instead of creating the perfect soldier for combat, her mother's consciousness was going to be placed into androids who would perform “other tasks”, such as serving as a porn toy to fulfill a person's sexual fantasies.
Yun Seo-hyun is horrified at the thought of her mother being demeaned and comes up with a daring plan to rescue her.

The Falcon and the Snowman (1985) ~ A True Story
Ever see the movie "The Falcon and the Snowman" (1985)?
*(View the official movie trailer.)
"The Falcon and the Snowman" starred Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn. I think the movie should be incorporated into an orientation training class for all civil servants who work in the law enforcement agencies “ CIA, NSA, ICE, FBI, etc. The movie was intense. Riveting! A favorite word used by official movie critics. The best part of the movie for me is David Bowie and Pat Metheny on the soundtrack. But I digress. The movie is about a young guy (Christopher Boyce, played by Timothy Hutton) who works for the government and learns that "things" are not what they appear to be and feels betrayed by his country. He gets angry about it “ as any red-blooded patriot would - and decides to sells secrets to "The Enemy". He recruits his childhood friend (Daulton Lee, played by Sean Penn) who is a dope head! Long story short. In the end, they both go to prison. There is also a book written about this story as well.
In between, Mr. Lee gets caught and accused of murder. Of course, he didn't commit the murder but that didn't stop the law enforcement authorities who captured him from grilling him, thoroughly interrogating him, and torturing him to get the truth out of him. After all is said and done “ they say "He did!," - he say "He didn't! He's just a tourist, a businessman." - there's a scene where he's about to be released and a man walks in and says something to the effect: "We're going to give you 2 choices." Before the man could tell what the choices were, Mr. Lee (Sean Penn) looks up at the guy, weary, scared, demoralized and says in questioning tone of voice: "Costa Rica?" I CRACKED UP LAUGHING!! I thought to myself: 'Now ain't that sumthin! They done beat the crap about this boy and he is totally weakened and confused, but he still had the clarity of mind to try to negotiate to get sent to Costa Rica!!' :)

Movie: Bollywood: Chandni Bar (2001)
Well! I don’t want to spoil it for others who have not seen the film. Don’t get me wrong. The performances were award-worthy. It’s just that … if I were to use one word to describe the storyline, that word would be “hopeless”.
Throughout the movie, I kept hoping. But my hope was never fulfilled. I was very moved by the characters and the harsh realities of life they faced daily; especially as the threads of their daily lives were sewn into the fabric of the criminal underworld. Definitely not a Cinderella fairy tale.
Someone described it as a handbook to life in Mumbai. What do I know? I'm American and to me, it was a very sad movie with a very sad ending.

Vintage Classic Movie vs Modern Remake: “The Manchurian Candidate”
“The Manchurian Candidate” which was released in 1962 and which starred Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, along with Angela Lansbury, is now a vintage classic movie.
♦ Lifting a description from Wikipedia, this movie is a "Cold War neo-noir suspense thriller".
In 2004, "The Manchurian Candidate” was given an extreme make-over. It was updated - from Cold War to Gulf War - and the remake which starred Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep actually had the blessings of Tina Sinatra, daughter of the late Frank Sinatra.
♦ By contrast, the description supplied by Wikipedia for the remake is "science fiction political-thriller film".
The movies were film adaptations based on a 1959 novel, written by Richard Condon.
Both films are worth watching. But only one of them is the best!
In my opinion the 1962 version is the best! I love Frank Sinatra.
♦
In Memory Of:
Laurence Harvey (1928 – 1973)
Frank Sinatra (1915–1998)

Six (6) Movie Reviews from The Entertainment Factor (Reblog)
Every now and then I try to show some support for fellow bloggers who publish blogs using Blogspot. The Entertainment Factor publishes a wide range of reviews - movies, TV shows, music, and video games. I clicked on the link for FILM REVIEWS. There is interesting the posts in this section of the blog. By percentage. The reviews are sorted by score so I started with the highest score, 100%, and started working my way down. I searched for movies that I had watched to see if I agreed with TEF's recommendations. Found 6 movies that I enjoyed watching and it seems TEF agrees with me.
EXCERPT: "After the death of his father, and the abdication of his elder brother, George (Colin Firth), or Bertie to his friends, is forced to assume the throne on the eve of World War II. This is the true story of King George VI, who led Britain through war. However, he had a very difficult impediment to overcome before he could make his mark in history. A speech impediment. It's quite obvious that any great leader needs to be an equally great speechmaker, so, the stammering sovereign's wife, Queen Elizabeth enlists the help of australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) who, through some unusual techniques and by offering his sincere friendship, helps George overcome not just his stammer, but also the roots of all his problems, fear and insecurity."

Black Widow was actually pretty good for a marvel movie. It’s a great spy thriller the stunts are outrageous and Pugh steals the show. I love how badass they make them and dialogue is surprisingly great. I long for the day of women superheroes without it being a feminist allegory pic.twitter.com/34kKEJoNKR
