Malik's psychiatrist is dragooned into doing psychological profiles of the 20 or so prisoners to make sure they don't commit suicide and to find their weakness for trial. Göring knows he is smarter than all of them and is looking for a way out.

The movie hops between the psychological drama and historic scenes to show what happened at Nuremberg. The worst part coming during the trial when actual footage from the concentration camp is shown. It was hard to keep watching and it seemed like it went on forever.

At the end, there is a big message about Nazis never really going away which seemed directed at the situation we find ourselves in today.

Great cast if a bit preachy. No sword fights.]]>

It's a reimagining of the original. Jack Black and Paul Rudd want to go back and do a remake of the original movie. They are too clueless to realize they way in over their heads as the head to the Amazon with Thandie Newton and Steve Zahn to round out the cast. Oddly, Rudd plays the Jack Black role and Rudd plays the Jack Black role. It's occasionally amusing as the cast bumps into illegal gold miners. Most of movie is in the trailer with a few scattered scenes of freshness.

It's a cheesy dumb comedy. It's a good brain off flick. And I mean way off.

Yes, The Queen is out of town. Why do you ask?]]>

I liked it. It covered quite a lot of ground, was a nice tribute to Hillel, touching, sad. 

TIL: He played on the demo, but Hillel didn't play on the first RHCP album (which I thought was their best, but I learned from the doc, it has only Flea and Anthony on it). 

Recommended if you like music documentaries...

This franchise isn't tired at all.


The latest installment of the Jurassic franchise is set in the near future when dinos have reestablished themselves on earth but mostly in zoos or near the equator (which is now globally banned for travel). But the three biggest dinos might have the solution to cardiac issues, so ScarJo leads a team into the forbidden zone but not before rescuing a family that were sailing the ocean nearby and were shipwrecked near there.

Again, it’s all about the dinos. There’s like a dozen of more scenes where the dino rises behind someone quietly and that someone is so frightened that they don’t look back right away - it’s like the main franchise cliche aside from people getting chomped. And you know who’s going to survive - it’s the characters wifh the most backstory. 

This adds mutate dinos - the mutant rex is like the bastard child of Snoke and a xenomorph. 

Ultimately, it’s more of the same, cool dino effects and everyone is in peril of being chomped. If you like the Jurassic franchise, definitely see it because it seems to be a timeline from the first one (I’ve missed a few and can’t even say what number this installment is. It was a side eye watch while folding laundry and surfing the web on my phone. But if you’re not into it (judging by the lack of Jurassic reviews here, none of us are) not going to D00M rec tbis.]]> (02-05-2025, 10:36 AM)Greg Wrote: Jurassic World: Rebirth. July

Okay, it doesn't rule, but as origin stories for Jack Reacher go, it was pretty interesting.

Okay, it wasn't the origin story for Jack Reacher but it should be.

Alan Ritchson promises to join the rangers after a terrible experience in Afghanistan. Basically, that is all he wants to do. Fulfill his promise. He doesn't want to hang with the guys. He doesn't leadership. He wants to do the stuff, get the patch, and leave. Most of the first third of the movie is him going through Ranger training school and all those problems. To graduate they have to do the death march (Stupid name) It's during the death march that the fun things happen. There are some crazy set pieces that make you wince from the over amped sound effects. Lots of cringe worthy blood shed. Lots of impossible things to do that go awry. It was plenty of fun and has been noted many times, I know fun.

The last ten minutes was all pretty lame. The valuable lesson is learned. They set up maybe a sequel or an ongoing series. I really can't watch Dennis Quaid any more and he was a big part of the ending. I suggest turning the movie off maybe after the final big explosion.]]>

Like Dhurandhar https://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFo...p?tid=8755 this is another intensily ultravi tollywood film. I watched it because it had a martial reference. The protag is an Indian raised in Japan and trained as a samurai. The yakuza kills all the surviving samurai but him. He befriends a Bombay port mogul on his journey back to India, and becomes his protector. 

OG is dubbed an incarnation of Kalki - the restorer of dharma. What he is here is invincible. He cuts through gangs with his katana, goes full auto, and kills hundreds of thugs throughout the film, blowing stuff up, setting places on fire, literally toppling skyscrapers and parrying bullets. Insane ridiculous action, all in slomo wifh a driving edm beat and sanguineous sprays. 

I don’t know what happened to Indian film. The action used to be lame. Now it’s absurdly brutal and bloody, relentless and merciless. Kids get shot in the back. Lovers get murdered. Failed henchmen are popped of by their bosses unflinchingly. So ruthless. Lots of decapitations and arm lopping off.

I have two fav scenes that capture the ultravi

1. OG is cutting down gangsters and casually tucks his katana under his chin mid-fight to straighten his belt.
2. OG kicks a gang leader on to an exploding car which blows him into the air. OG leaps to meet him midair and decapitates him, all in glorious slo-mo.

This film is nuts. The plot is twisty and there are a lot of characters. 2 1/2 hours of movie gives a lot of time, except that all the action is all in dramatic slo-mo. 

And this is just the beginning - it sets up part 2. This is the 2nd installment in the Sujeeth cinematic universe - the first is Saaho (2019) which I might have to watch. Sujeeth is the writer/director.

There’s a father/daughter arc, and of course, the daughter is named Taara (with 3 As). 

And yes, 2 tollywood dance numbers. 

Pawan Kalyan plays OG and I didn’t find him leading action star material at all. He was uncharismatic and reminded me of an Indian Charlie Day. 

Not D00M reccomended unless you just need a massive ultravi fix.]]>

Billed as the biggest grossing Hindi film ever, this was surprisingly brutal for Bollywood. There action is super sanguineous with several graphic skull crushes and some absolutely sadistic torture, plus a few blown up bodies sending a spray of blood and flesh. Shocking. And then there’s a rocking wedding dance scene to remind thst this is Bollywood after all.

It’s a deep cover tale. An Indian penetrates a major Pakistani terrorist gang through grit and manipulation. It’s not one of those hero-won’t-kill-while-maintaining-his-cover. Hamza kills quickly and coldly, calculating all the way. Ranveer Singh is the lead and he’s yoked to the gills, with sultry burning eyes and long flowing hair that fans dramatically for those slo-mo kills. As he rises to power, the backstabbing is constant.

His gang supplies the weapons for the real 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attacks, which hit us hard because we spent time in Mumbai in ‘97, our epic India trip. We visited the Taj hotel. The movie pauses to play actual recordings of the terrorists talking about killing everyone. It’s chilling. 

There’s some spectacular cinematography of the Pakistan desert and dense urban sprawl, plus some huge crowd scenes (surely cgi enhanced but I couldn’t see the seam - it was very convincing). Crazy car chases, full auto fire fights where no one can hit anyone despite their targets being wide open, some big cgi explosions, the hero almost gets anally raped in the beginning, and a torture victim has his face and body pierced with dozens of big fish hooks - the 2+ dozen in his face get ripped out. Thst scene reminded me of Ichi the Killer in its unabashed sadism.

Then there’s the love interest, Yalina, played by Sara Arjun, who is hypnotically gorgeuos, and thst awesome wedding dance. 

This was onlu part 1. Part 2 comes out soon. 

Somewhat D00M recommended but only if you’ve seen a dozen of so Bollywood films already. This isn’t a good one to start with; it’s extreme ultravi needs to be seen in contrast to most of the genre. The ultravi is hardcore, ridiculously so.]]>

This is not at all what I expected. It’s a comedy centered around the accidental killing of a gang leader by Rita’s mom when he accidentally walks into the wrong house after ripping bong hits in his car before meeting a prostitute that was setting him up to be killing by some hitmen. It opens with a shidi r and a sworn vengeance upon a decapitated head (like what else would be decapitated?) The humor is wacky quirky and from the start, it’s states that it’s all about karma. But it doesn’t fall into place until the very end. There’s no dancing or singing. There are a lot of cold blooded shootings. Almost everyone is shot dead suddenly when they are unarmed. There’s a lot of double crossing. It’s twisty with way too many coincidences, but karma’s like that sometimes. I enjoyed it, although I did make my own intermission halfway through because it needed one.
