Thoughts on Ant-Man and the Wasp. February 14, 2022

By


 With Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania coming to the theaters this weekend, I would like to share my thoughts on the last MCU movie centering on those characters, which was a great example of an action screwball comedy.  It was fun seeing them use cars that would look like hot wheels and throw a giant Pez dispenser at enemies chasing them. The ghost was an intriguing villain we felt sympathy for, and Lawrence Fishburne gave a cool performance as always, making you think he was a bad guy but redeemed himself. Walton Goggins was a fun secondary villain, with style and charisma, and Michael Pena was a good sidekick, gave it a good sense of humor. 

Every time I stream that movie on Disney plus it feels like I am getting ready to go on vacation, because I went to see it a second time the night before my parents and I departed for our favorite vacation spot, St. George Island, Florida. At some point, the Covert Militia will use shrinking technology similar to what they use in the Ant-Man movies, and there are also parallel worlds in my series of novels, but first you have to read them.

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.

Anaconda December 29, 2025

 I remember liking the 1997 version of Anaconda OK, and I felt the same about the new one. The performances were funny, and there was some nice commentary on how nothing in Hollywood is original, and there were jokes about how movies are made today. As a novelist, struggling to find readers interested in my books, I can relate, and if you are such an artist, I highly recommend it.  And if you are looking for good books, that could be made into good movies, or just something enticing to read, click on the link.  Smsahwords.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...

Bugonia November 3, 2025

  The new movie Bugonia had nothing that original in it, but it was written and directed to where it's twist ending would surprise people. One of the things that led to it was Emma Stone's performance, and it eventually looked like she was only telling the conspiracy theorists who kidnapped her she really was an alien, so she could escape and inform the authorities. I'm sure a few people picked it up early on, but for me I realized it when she ran out of the ambulance. I can do without Stone killing all humans on Earth at the end, however, maybe somewhere in the story she can revive them all with no prior knowledge, but that is only my wishful thinking.
