The
Hunt For Red October 8/10
Over
the last few days I have been watching a lot of movies. The first was
The Hunt For Red October. I was in the same room this was playing
when I was younger in school but paid zero attention to it. All I
knew was that Sean Connery was in it. Imagine my surprise and joy
while watching this with J-Ro and finding out that he was speaking
with a Russian accent and sometimes in Russian. That shit was
hilarious! This movie was not what I assumed it was about. This dude
came across as this crazy ass captain of a submarine but had an
amazing plan that should not have worked if not for the help and
understanding of a young Alec Baldwin who owned all of the chest
hair. Like, all of it. I said while watching that he had more hair on
his chest than my entire body. Then it was pointed out that men with
a lot of body hair had a lot of testosterone. I then looked at my
hairless arms and continued watching the movie. If you haven't seen
this, all three of you, check this out.
Elvis
& Nixon 5/10
I
finally watched this movie Elvis & Nixon on Amazon today. I've
been meaning to watch this for a while. This one was disappointing. I
mean, I really wanted to like this and it should have been good
considering the cast but there was this whole extra story added that
I didn't like. On one side you got Elvis wanting to meet with Nixon
to get a badge so he could work for the government stopping hippies
and people wanting the country to fall apart. On the other side you
got one of Elvis' friends and his trouble with not wanting the rock
and roll lifestyle and wanting to settle down with his lady. His
story is boring. Elvis and Nixon are not.
It
took a minute to not see Michael Shannon as Elvis and Kevin Spacey as
Nixon. Shannon looks nothing like Elvis but plays him so mellow and
not over the top that it worked. And Spacey looks nothing like Nixon
but his mannerisms and attitude made it work. I would say watch this
but skip all the parts when you see Johnny Knoxville or the other
guy.
The
Ghost And The Darkness 6/10
I have
never seen this movie but for some reason thought I did. The Ghost In
The Darkness aka Why Dante Will Never Visit Africa is about Val
Kilmer going to supervise the building of a bridge in Africa. He
wants it done before his wife gives birth but some lion is eating
Black people like hotcakes. He kills a lion and everybody is all
happy because now they can get back to work. Not so fast, Africa!
Turns out there is not just another lion, but two lions! They call
them The Ghost and The Darkness which would be the name of my tag
team if I wrestled. Kilmer's boss shows up all mad, Kilmer is upset,
everyone is leaving the job site. Its chaos. Until Michael Douglas
shows up! I forgot he was even in this he shows up so late. His
character doesn't even fit but here he is.
Douglas
shows up with the Africans that Africans are afraid of. The ones with
the red dyed hair, tall, and like to bounce and yip loudly. Yeah.
Them. Even they end up leaving after confronting these lions that
know how to spot traps and everything. These fucking lions are
magicians. I loved my ability to spot which Black person was gonna
die even though there were so many. Or Africans. You know what I
mean. This movie was good but Douglas kinda shit all over it with his
weird character.
