Thor: Love and Thunder Review

Ok, folks here we go. Better late than never, am I right? I had the pleasure to finally go see this new movie about 2 weeks after release in one of the best and most comfortable movie theaters in my area, Cinepolis (psst send gift cards). With recliner leather chairs and waiter service with beers and cocktails and overpriced food at the ready, I was ready to see the famous success of my 1980s love child Thor: Ragnarok. Did I have fun, absolutely freakishly so? How could you not is that comfort, screen, sounds, friends, and family? Now was it the intellectually yet childish brilliance of Ragnarok?…errr nope. Sorry to disappoint, but it’s ok. Not everything has to better its predecessor. It had the human man child of Thor and Starlord. It had Matt Damon making fun of himself, again! for it has strong and sexy and intelligent women, of course! Did it have secret marvel hidden gems that my brother-in-law did not give 2 shits about, of course. And that’s why I liked it. It had what I needed from an entertainment franchise on a Sat night where the world around me had to disappear and indulge in a fantasy world that had more plot holes than Swiss cheese. Now, will it stand up to Spider-Man: No Way Home? Heck nooo. Like any buffet, there are the steamed crab legs that everyone fights for, and the slightly not-the-best but enjoyable sugar donuts. It all makes a complete meal. And we get our after credit scenes. So yea take life less seriously , much like Taika took his making of the movie not too seriously. I had fun, and that’s all one can ask for in this melting, war obsessed, virus-hoarding planet we all live on. Until next mis muchachos y muchachas!

Jsa - Joint Security Area movie thoughts

JSA, wow what a movie! I typically don’t really care for overly macho movies, and for sure not constant-tension movies, but I still find that this movie has a lot to offer about the point of borders, enemies, and the brainwashing that happens on opposing border lines. It is a movie that shows that, as vulnerable little humans, we have pride, fear, loneliness, boredom, and the pursuit of a friend’s love. Sometimes the extremes that one must go to protect that love and to protect the appearance of peace, and that sometimes lies are the most humanitarian thing one can do. Park-Chan Wook knows the warmth and sheer ice-coldness of any man’s heart and he articulately puts it on display. To show you that no matter what your illusion of control you have, you are nothing but a puppet of circumstance. 8/10

Top Gun Maverick Still Reckless and Fun

Imag e Credit: image credit Last night my family and I watched the timeless classic where a 54 year old who is in unholy good shape , probably by blood transfusion from olympic athletes decided to keep the same job for 30-40 years and refuses all attempts at promotion. Wait, the job part of the story is hitting me a little closer to home than I like. Anyhow he is still the best at what he does , yeah we are tommy. Somehow he has the reflexes of a Korean Starcraft2 players with 5 espresso shots and is brought to run a suicide mission where he has been asked to teach these overhormonal kids on how to beat the odds. Unfortunately for him this is also a therapy session for his estranged pseudo-nepher Rooster who is the son of Maverick’s long lost best friend Goose (yeah cant make this stuff up) where is is trying to make up for accidentally killing the kids father by being fearless and reckless. So the way he will save the kids' life is by using the same dis...
