Silence 2017

Two priest two different outcomes. 1 dies & 1 apostates. The barbaric tortures and cruelty is unbearable. 

Kong Skull Island

I thought it would be a rehash of the King Kong movies. BUT was I surprised. The story line was new. The hero was conservative, considered and thoughtful. Kong was impressive strong and menacing. Yet worshipped as a god monster.

Serious or comedy. Film ending gives a sense of normality.

Morgan

Genetic enginering girls to be whip ass fighters. Sinister twist makes this a very watchable movie.
































I was not too horrified and actually tried to figure out the science behind it. Definitely worth a viewing. We saw it in the Cathay Pacific flight from Singapore to Hong Kong in early Dec 2016.

Edge of Winter 2016

The blackest movie about fatherhood I have seen in a long time. Anyone being a father and watching this movie can be  soooo soul destroying.



A father with poor impulse control and lack of access to his children becomes too emotional. The bad weather clouds his judgements and he takes extreme measures to achieve his aims.

If you watch it at home get out a punching bag or free wheel on your bicycle so you chase the thrills with adrenaline.

Mr Right - killer of a movie

A snazzy reflexy chick without a cause in life. Meets a sharp fast piroutte kick smart instinctive guy. She falls for him in a bad way.

Image result

Lots of action and laughs. A sort of not too unexpected ending. Entertaining if you can ignore the implications of assassination and killing. Cute in a deadly sort of way. Cheezy and corny love scenes.
