Justice League (2017) Parental Guidance

Image
Read Zack Snyder’s version   a Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes -- Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash -- it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions. -WWW Initial release: 16 November 2017 (Denmark) Director: Zack Snyder Film series: Justice League Film Series No.  I won't lie.  I did enjoy this film and had fun watching it with my family. We like it the way it is.  If we did not know Mr. Snyder's "thoughts", we would be content with it.  Now that we know, I want to see how Zack Snyder envisioned it.  If you click the link above, there'll be spoilers, but it's interesting to note all that.

Live By NIght (R) 2016

( source )  ( source ) It's the Roaring `20s and Prohibition hasn't stopped the flow of booze in an underground network of gangster-run speakeasies. The opportunity to gain power and money is there for any man with enough ambition and nerve, and Joe Coughlin, the son of the Boston Police superintendent, long ago turned his back on his strict upbringing for the spoils of being an outlaw. But even among criminals there are rules, and Joe breaks a big one: crossing a powerful mob boss by stealing his money and his moll.  -WWW Release date: December 25, 2016 (USA) Director: Ben Affleck Adapted from: Live by Night (Coughlin series by Dennis Lehane) Screenplay: Ben Affleck     Music By: Harry Gregson-Williams ( source ) my ticket The film has mixed-reviews and I want to be honest that I read the spoilers before watching the film.   It was just as well, because I appreciated the film more.  Normally, I don't want to know everyt...

Ben Affleck as THE ACCOUNTANT (2016)--- not a review

Image
From youtube ( source ) Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a mathematics savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Using a small-town CPA office as a cover, he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. With a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) hot on his heels, Christian takes on a  state-of-the-art robotics company as a legitimate client. As Wolff gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, the body count starts to rise. -WWW Growing up with PG and RJ, both autistic savants, broadened my horizon.  When people called both of them abnormal, I would shout to them, "Define normal!", among other things.  Some are not even fit to be written on this blog entry.  Some couldn't even imagine I could utter such things to my brothers' aggravators and the like, but that's the reality. Thank goodness for movies like RAIN MAN, MERCURY RISING and this one, THE ACCOUNTANT, people are no...

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice(PARENTS should really guide kids so that they won't dream bad things)

Image
SOME NOTES BEFORE I WRITE MY BLOG ENTRY Spoilers are all over the World Wide Web...even our Parish Priest gave spoilers during his homily last Easter Vigil, so if it's spoilers you want, you won't get it "here"(but there are links that you can click ), but I can say this, there are no teasers after the credits.  If you want to memorize stuff for trivial pursuit or something, you can Google them anyway, but it's up to you. PARENTAL GUIDANCE AT ITS FINEST A young dad with his two young sons sat beside us.  When he thought there was ample time, he got his boys some popcorn.  The older one watched the younger one and when there were scary trailers, he would comfort the younger one, even if he was seemingly scared himself.  I was concentrating on the movie, of course, but I was a bit worried about the two boys, but since I was a stranger to them, I did not dare try to comfort them.  I didn't have to, because when t he movie started and their dad was ...

Armageddon (1998)

Image
Watch Armageddon I love good father-daughter relationships onscreen and off-screen because thankfully, I have a good relationship with mine. Probably not the best there is, but it is good, praise God! Grace and Harry don't have the best relationship either, but their love for each other is very, very obvious. Wikipedia compared this movie to DEEP IMPACT.  I don't know with you, but I liked the story of Deep Impact and the movie as whole better than this, but I can't say I hate it. I have nothing more to say. I am not an expert about drilling or any thing astronomical, so let's leave those things be. Let me share with you a couple of songs from the movie and their lyrics. Below those songs, if you are interested, I copy-pasted from Wikipedia the scientific accuracy of the box office hit.  I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away dreaming I could spend my life ...
