Southpaw (2015)
Punch drunk script
Southpaw is the story of an obviously juiced up boxer with an incredible 43-0 record. After his wife is shot dead he loses every single possession, including his daughter within 8 weeks. He ends up sweeping the floor at a boxing gym and about 6 months later fights the man responsible for his wife's death for the world title. He displays no animosity towards him even touching gloves in a sign of sportsmanship at the start of the fight. He wins the fight by split decision and the world title. It was a good win especially considering he only had a 6 week training camp but was still more ripped than any pro boxer I have ever seen.
His trainer had a glass eye, was an alcoholic but taught this ex world champ to jab and block punches . My god what a load of rubbish.
San Andreas (2015)
Why do we worry about Isis when Mother Nature is such a bitch
OK so I am a pretty deep thinker and my friends say I'm really good at looking at the big picture. My question is this . Why do we worry about terrorists when Mother Nature is always trying to kill us. Think about it the tsunami that got all the japs a few years back, the earthquake that tried to level Everest (but failed) but still wiped out heaps of Tibetans and monks that hang around the Himalayas, tornadoes that smash up all the inbred Americans living out the middle of nowhere .. I could go on ! We need to start looking at ways to get back at nature . OK nature wants to crack the ground up and swallow stuff up we know where it's likely to occur so why not use this ground to build prisons ?, house terrorists, store Mexicans ? We know Afghanistan is full of terrorists well we have seen the damage bush fires do in California so let's burn Afghanistan (and yes I mean all of it) we need to use nature to work for us. This movie really got me thinking , and I mean a lot. It asks a lot of questions, one of them is "how a big dark Samoan man can have such a white daughter who looks nothing like him" also why is this guy taking so many steroids at his age. This movie is good but I found it made me angry at nature and hate nature . It made me want to do something to hurt nature . We know nature wants us dead and there is nothing we can do after all it got the dinosaurs easily enough , just froze the big bastards to death, no problem. The tsunamis are deadly the ones in this movie came at the place that had the earthquake, usually they head away from the earthquake. This shows how smart nature can be when it knows you're vulnerable it attacks you. Like the mountain climbers going for a nice hike up Everest , they are already tired and out of breath but here you go have fun with this Avalanche . I hate all the asteroids and meteors that try to smash earth up too , wouldn't mind a small one getting Iraq or Syria though . Thanks .
Preservation (2014)
Brilliant thrillride into a mad world
Wow what an incredible movie. An absolutely absorbing and realistic journey into the world of 3 resilient and resourceful young Americans who find themselves matching wits with masked killers in an incredibly beautiful setting.
OK seriously what a load of crap !
We are supposed to believe these idiots are asleep in the woods and wake to find the tent they were sleeping in is gone. As is there boots , cell phone and wait for it German shepherd. Mind you the brother saw them but still managed to get a cross painted on his forehead. My favourite part was when the brother who is a big guy smashes one of the masked kids head in with with a rifle but about 5 times. Somehow the masked kid stealthily gets up and coolly puts a knife through his chest. Let's ignore the fact he should be dead , brain dead or in a coma . I actually checked the genre at this point positive I was watching a sci fi and he was some kind of robot or terminator. The scene where the guy hides in the porta loo was ridiculous, why hide in a massive forest when there is a porta loo handy. Then he manages to escape through the roof unseen and land a few blows with a steel pipe he rips out of the toilet. I enjoyed the bike riding scenes though, some of the jumps looked cool and the masked killers looked to being enjoying themselves. This made me feel good . Please don't watch it you will feel dumber and angry.
