One Nation, One King

The French Revolution: Tik-Tok Version.
Every character gives a slogan and not much else.
You're given a name and a face.
That's it!
That's all you need!

Still, nice costumes & a sexy guillotine.

Blue Beetle (2023)

Nothing mindblowing. Some funny parts, some relatable parts and some too silly parts.

[Flinn]

Mixed sentiments, honestly. The movie has the usual confused fights, but also proposes a "drone view" one (though in internal setting) which is just absolutely awesome to watch: dragon breath ammo, and I don't have to add anything else I'm sure. Nothing special overall anyways, much in line with the other 3 movies.

Having watched all of them now I believe that the only reason those movies are so popular it's because of Mr Reeves, they are not really credible either (both in terms of how they "fight" and how the whole stuff around the Table seems to work) and I'm sure the ending of part 4 is much in line with this*

Spoiler for warning, this is an actual spoiler!!: 

The death of John at the end of the movie is clearly a stretch to finish and close the series, because AFAIK Reeves didn't want to make a part 4 either, but was forced into it by the pressing popular demand. Honestly John has suffered similar wounds before and had fallen from places so high he could have dug a hole when hitting the ground, still waked away unscathed basically )

Sound of Freedom (2023)

This movie depicts something utterly evil and a handful of heroes that decided to stand against it. It serves as a good reminder that all sorts of ed up things happen around us.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Revolutionary, hero, lover, dictator.
Simon Bolivar was all of this.
Now I must confess I did not know much about him but now I know why they called him: El Libertador.
Would've loved to see more battles though (all 100 maybe?)

The Last Voyage of the Demeter

Everything was great about this film, the acting, the sets, the costumes, the atmosphere, the ship.
Everything except the monster.

Dracula looks like an escaped from asylum elderly patient who's been in the sun too long.

[Kyriakos]

Till Death (2021)
A forgettable movie, starring Megan Fox. She wasn't bad in it or anything, but the story is just dull and a variation of things seen countless times before. Also parts felt very sloppy and artificial.

[Araval]

Retribution (2023)

OK to watch for once.

[Kyriakos]

The Passenger (2023).
It was meh. Not believable. No back story for the catalyst character.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Well, this was a surprise.
It started like a generic horror then it turned into a great comedy.

Onward

Very Dungeony, very Dragony.
I hate wizards.

Inventing Anna.
Piece of trash netflix show, which manages to be far more annoying even than the real Anna Sorokin, the fraudster it is about. Though the actress playing Sorokin seems to be the only good thing about it, the production value and pitiful invented characters made me quit half-way through the first episode.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

It's good that you have the foresight to quit during the first episode.
I usually watch the entire season before I start to regret it.

The Guest

What if Jason Bourne was Chaotic Evil?
Very funny movie.
Not sure if it was intended to be this funny.



Look at this honest face!
Who wouldn't invite this guy into their home?!

^Pewdiepie made it to the movies

I used to hate Pewdiepie for what he said about my country.
Now I accept him as a very rich, clueless wuss.

Phoenix Tapes

Best found-footage since Blairwitch?
Nah, not really.
But it's a start.

'Next time you're ever afraid of anything, I want you to look at these and know that there's nothing to be afraid of.'

That's a direct quote, you guys.
I'm not even joking.

The Equalizer 3 (2023)

There could have been less action if my memory serves right about the previous movies but it was still emotional and there's lovely Italian setting.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Rear Window

What a classic.
How can anyone refuse Grace Kelly?!?

Lethal Weapon, the Shakespeare Version

Good, but not as good as this:
