Priyanka with a sword?

It’s feeling like the Russos are done. This is a mediocre pirate adventure at best. Pryanka is a former indentured servant turned pirate captain turned fishwife (their term) trying to live a peaceful life on a small island with her sister in law and disabled son. Karl is a vengeful captain, someone Pryanka stabbed and then took his gold. Temuera is Karl’s quartermaster. The fights are ok. Pryanka sells action astonishingly well. The choreo is brutal slash, chop & stab, but not particularly fresh, and not worthy of as much screen time as it occupies. She’s left to hold all this up on her own because the rest of the cast is just phoning it in. The Bluff is Pryanka’s bat cave, full of booby traps and buried treasure. Tbis is one of those movies that’s frustrating because they have a decent cast and spent some money on the sets but it just doesn’t come together.
Not D00M recommended. Very skippable.

James L. Brooks directs this movie about a Lt. Governor and her chance to be Governor only problems surround her and the job is in peril.
Great cast. Excited to see a new Brooks movie. Not his best work though. Felt like a throwback to movies of the 90s with its silly emphasis on character and plot. Where are the sword fights? Where are the CGI effects? None of that. Just people in situations where they are talking about the problems they face and how they deal with them. Weird.
The Queen really liked this. I felt it was fine.

I took some video of an Elk with a chair caught on his antlers. The video I uploaded has received over 26K views. Two of the local TV stations requested permission to use the video. This morning I received a note from Fox News asking for permission to air the video across all their platforms.

This was allegedly the film by director Robert Clouse that inspired Bruce Lee to work with him on Enter the Dragon. It’s terrible. But an uber Bruce fan recommended it to me because you can see some elements that went into EtD, and he was right. Rod Taylor plays Robby McGee, a private detective of sorts who rescues a woman tossed off a bridge tied to a weigh to sleep with the fishes. Anna Capri is in it, who also stars as the one white woman on Han’s island. DTA is known for its end fight, which was brutal and bloody for its day, but I can imagine why it mightve appealed to Bruce. There’s a grittiness to it that feels authentic. Also, some to the cinematography and use of music is echoed in EtD, right down to Capri’s final scene.
It took me several nights to slog thru. I’d watch about 15 mins and lose interest, flipping back to vids LD Alysa Liu.
Seen on YouTube. Not D00M recommended at all.

A short film with Michelle playing a lot of roles. It’s ok. She hams it up. Kinda like if you took EEAAO and just spliced together all the solo Michelle scenes. I’m not sure I understood the point of it beyond Michelle fan service. Don't get me wrong. I’ve luved Michelle since Police Story 3. I’m a lifelong fan. But this seemed overindulgent and ultimately doesn't really go anywhere. It feels like it’s going somewhere but then it ends suddenly like a French existential film.
There’s a making of short that’s probably a better watch.
Recommended for D00M Michelle fans, mostly because it’s short.

This is an 18 min short. It’s the trailer only a little longer.
It’s ok. There are worse ways to waste 18 mins.
D00M reccomended? I dunno. If you have 18 mins to kill, go for it i guess

That was AWESOME.
Wuxia is back, baby. Warring clans, filial piety, honor, betrayal, protecting the weak, and of course, vengeance. Bloody, bloody vengeance. So many cold weapons - swords, spears, melon hammers, retractable wolverine claws, hard whips, bows, arrows, axes, axes chainlinked to flying claws - YWP directing cold weapon fights? Yes please. Some very panoramic scenes of exotic desert landscapes. Shot in IMAX and I would've loved to have seen it so. Jet delivers a nice opening fight, but make no mistake, this is a Wu Jing film.
I cannot think of a better way for me to celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse.
D00M recommended. See it on the big screen if you can.
