Default Just saw the picture; which is pretty good is you like shootouts n 1

I just saw the picture; which is pretty good if you like shootouts !

I don't even have any streaming but I found a site for free pictures; but you have to sit through about 7 idiot commercials or ads.

Anyway the picture is "Wrath of Man" . A guy and his boy stop for tacos or something; But a gang is preparing to rob an armored car and get the money ! But a stupid guard draws a pistol; so one of the gang kills everybody in the vicinity including the boy. The man tries to jump them but he is shot , too ! He recovers, so then he is on a mission to take down the gang.
Meanwhile they decide why bother with one armored car; when we caan take down the whole armored car headquarters and get every armored cars money for $150 Million ! So they plan the heist and at first everything goes OK. But then Jason statham gets lose and ends up killing all of the gang who didn't kill themselves !

He is like a special forces man or something; so they messed with the wrong guy !

I like Jason Statham as an actor. I'll have to check and see if I have an app I can watch this with.

He gives the impression of a really tough guy; which comes across great in the movies.
I also saw "Ex Machina" But I didn't like the ending; as in the end the AI escapes.
Alicia Vikander is the AI girl. But the movies are guilty pleasures which take away time from my books.
I only watch the ones that appear to be interesting from the title or jacket blurb !

I watched a long time ago "Bad Times at the El Royale" because it had Dakota Johnson in it. It is fictional about Charles Manson . Dakota tells her sister, "I've got to get you away from Charlie, he's all kinds of Bad !" Charlie completely controls his band of dropouts, who do whatever he says. Eventually , in real life, he gets sentenced to life in prison ! Notable for the song by the Mamas and the Papas

Edit:

These are oldies; but astounding !



I always had a thing for Michelle Philips the thin girl, but I never ran into her !

Here is the hit connected to Charlie in the movie


The Young Girls coming to the Canyon are controlled by Charlie !

Default Another Hit; Another Movie

The Movie "Taxi Driver" I remember. A runaway young Jodie Foster is being taken advantage of by some guys in New York. So the Taxi Driver rescues her ! I think if the bad guys had gotten ahold of Alizee in the US ( like they seem to have messed up the actress Amanda Bayrnes and the singer Britneys ) I might have had to go in and rescue her ! ) But thankfully in this case she never toured in the US ; so they never got a hold of her !

and the Hit ! The Mamas and the Papas found they had excellent harmony together and had some excellent arrangements together back in the day ! So the Hit is "I saw her again Last Night" back in the day or I saw Alizee again last night and told her I loved her; but I was confused and off and on. So she called me the crazy American and told me she wouldn't live in America , only in France or Corsica !


In the hit you will hear the one guy misses his cue and starts "I saw her" one too many times, but the recording was so good that time around that they left it in. If you listen for it towards the end you will hear it !

Default And then I watched another Jason Stratham movie

This is getting to be a bad habit !

It was the "Killer Elite" He wants to quit; but somebody kidnaps his pal; so he has to knock off 3 guys in order to get his pal out of prison. Along the way lots of guys get shot ! As things always go wrong in these affairs !
It was based on a book; however, of course , the governments and the powers that be deny everything ! And in the end you are lucky if you get out alive with the beautiful girl !

I told Alizee I loved her completely, but she said she was too young to get married !
Crazy american; Where would we get married ? Notre Dame, I said !
They won't marry us ! They will if I bribe the Priests !
And where would we have the reception ? The Louvre, I said !
They won't have it! They will if I bribe the museum directors !
And where would we have the after wedding party ? The Eiffel Tower Restaurant !
( I can't help it if I am a Romantic ! ) The Eiffel won't have it ! They will if I bribe them , I said !
You are a crazy american ! But I won't live in America; only in France or Corsica !
I'll live anywhere you want !
But still she cried and demurred; so eventually I left Paris !

But if the bad guys ever got ahold of her; I'd have to rescue her; Like Jason Straham !

Default Since it was the Holiday; I slacked off and watched another movie

Since it was the Holiday; I goofed off from my writing and watched another movie

"Mile22" I think it was and didn't realize I had seen it before until 3/4ths way through it A Special forces team has to do a job; but it ends up a gigantic shootout and they get mostly wiped out except of course the main actor I think Mark Wahlburg. A good movie if you like shootouts but don't always know what is going on ? !

Default Latest movies in the US

The latest movies in the US which are hits.
I confess I haven't seen them as I will wait until I can get them on free streaming.

The gist of them I get from the rushes

Lilo and Stich A fun movie for the family and kids a Girl finds a small space alien and she and her small friends think it is a dog, but it isn't it's an Alien !

Another Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie; which are always good !

for some reason I think of Indian Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull ?
I always thought it was a pretty good movie; but the critics panned it.
Dan Akroyd of the Blues Brothers movie has produced a Crystal Skull Vodka in Canada; where it comes in a Crystal Skull. After you empty it; then presumably you can ask it questions of the Future ! Ha !
You used to be able to buy it online; but now you must hunt for it in a Liquor store.

Default Another coupla Movies

For some reason I think of this older Movie
with Leonardo Decapio "The Departed"

If some Police in your City are Dirty and you are a good cop
and you run afoul of them; you got a good chance of ending up dead ! ( is the gist of it ! an excellent movie )

Also a New movie coming out
In the wild Mountains of Scandinavia and it's Dark Forests and in other countries like them
You might come across Dragons !
And so it might be good if you know "How to Train Your Dragon"
is a new movie coming out June 13th I think ?
This is from the books and other movies !
Great for the kids and adults who think they might have seen a Dragon at some time in the past !

I am also reminded of a now ancient science fiction book I read; where there were two Kingdoms at war with each other
and they each produced mini-dinosaurs and sent mini-dinosaur armies against each other in battles. It would probably make a good movie, but they would have to use CGI for the dinosaurs ! I forget the name of the book !

The Departed, a great movie was filmed in my hometown.

Another dirty cop movie imo was The Big Easy with Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin.
I liked this scene.......
