Triple X: The Return of Xander Cage

Note to future audience:  Please don't overthink and just enjoy the movie.  Even if this is an action film that is violent and is somehow trying to emulate James Bond, this movie is meant to make us laugh and smile, OK?

Plus, the BiSki exists.  If you are not aware of the technology, shut up! An article stated, rather, asked, that if one knew of the abilities of the gadget and one just stole it, how would the other one know of the features? I think you will get the answer much later on the film.  Whoever asked that question only based it on the trailer.  Just have fun, OK?  ðŸ’ƒðŸ’ƒðŸ’ƒ

I like Vin Diesel(Just like I watch F&F series because of his co-stars---except for The Pacifier---I watched that because of him), but I watched this movie because of Nina Dobrev, Ruby Rose, Deepika Padukone, Kris Wu and Donnie Yen.  I was curious on how they would make this third installment better than the first two.

James Bond finally(or not) found his true love.  Hopefully, Xander Cage found his too?  Yikes.  That's me being cheesy and sappy(just like how the aforementioned article described the BiSki scene).  LOL.  But for me, Xander Cage is Xander Cage and James Bond is James Bond.  No explanations!

If you are going to overthink, your minds would be blown.  If you can't help it, remember this:  Xander Cage was an extreme sports athlete. There.  :-)

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(at least h

EX with BENEFITS (2015) R-13

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et cetera .  It's about many things, and sex is just a part

Atonement (2008)

source Atonement  is about Briony Tallis, a young aspiring writer of thirteen who witnessed or thought she had witnessed something atrocious between her older sister, Cecilia, and her long time crush who rejected her when she was about ten or eleven. A series of events that have gone wrong made her demons play inside her head that she saw only what she wanted to see. This in turn ruins the life of Robbie, the young man she adored, but loved her sister dearly. *Young Saoirse(Sear-sha) was very, very effective in her role of Briony  that earned her several nominations and awards. *James McAvoy was a very intriguing Robbie * I don't like the 17-18 year old Briony much. They could've gotten a better actress, but she was good enough. * Vanessa Redgrave's cameo was fantastic! * I like Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel * The music was haunting * Keira's eyes and body language were great...she's really a "classic"
