My thoughts on the movie Plane. January 22, 2023

By


 I am taking a break from posting about my books and the characters in them, to talk a little about how much I love going to movies. Ever since the Lord of the Rings trilogy was being released in the early 2000s, I started going to movies, mainly to see the trailer for it, but would stay to see the feature it accompanied. I often see DVDs and Blue-Rays for movies released during that time, and it makes me reflect on doing that, which is what I had to say before I start my blog. 

The last movie I saw, was Plane, where Gerard Butler plays a commercial pilot, whose plane crashes in a jungle island near Indonesia, and has to rescue his passengers from terrorists, assisted by a suspected terrorist being escorted to prison by the FBI. The action in that movie was awesome, like a scene in one of my books. That said, I hope you enjoy it. 

My mom and I discovered this website and saw it was the best place to start a blog and see it will help me gain readers interested in the action fantasy thrillers I write.

On the new Snow White movie February 24, 2025

 Practically everything on YouTube is about the disdain the new live-action Snow White movie has, the same way the general public is getting tired of Disney's live action remakes. It is either the A.I. and C.G. on the Dwarves, and what Peter Dinklage said about the Dwarves in the original being incorrect. If not that, it is Rachel Zegler insulting the original, saying it is about a prince stalking a princess, and not understanding the original was about dismissing reality for hope, because it was made during the Great Depression, and it was what people needed to escape the turmoil they were in.  I think the main reason for the backlash it instantly received was the way Disney is trying too hard to over correct what did not age well in their past movies. I think Zegler meant they were trying to update the prince and princess's relationship in the original, and it did not work with how she phrased it. I have only seen it once, because when it comes to the animated Disney movies ...

Flight Risk. January 27, 2025

 Flight Risk had a pretty simple premise but was still entertaining. One could quickly catch on that the pilot Mark Wahlberg played was working for the Mafia, in fact it was given away in the trailers. There was more to catch onto, such as the U.S. Marshall being associated with the Mob, but it was still entertaining. The main thing to think about is the Marshall's superiors being allied with criminals, which is something we really need to consider in Washington. I wright a lot about that in my books, and if you are interested in reading them, you can click on the link provided.  Smashwords.com

How G.I. Joe: Retaliation ahead of its time. March 4, 2025

  Prior to the Barbie movie, most films based on classic toys were criticized the instant they were announced, but that is not what I am talking about. When I heard that Paramount was planning to make live action G.I. Joe movies, I was excited because they were my favorite childhood toys, and I still collect them as a hobby for sentimental reasons. I had colleagues when at Kroger who often told me it might be good, and they were mostly teenagers who did not know any better.  Case in point, I enjoyed the first one, Rise of Cobra, as nothing groundbreaking but a fun way to spend time, which is what a movie is meant to be, and the same for the solo Snake Eyes one. However, the one I am talking about now is the second movie, Retaliation. It not only featured Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who is always fun no matter what, and Bruce Willis, who reminded me of Die Hard, it also stuck to something a sequel should do and in some way was a head of its time. At the end of Rise of Cobra, Za...
