Attrition is a return-to-form for Seagal. Co-starring Siu-Wong Fan from the IP man series. It's Better than General Commander, Attrition has great action! Yes it's not as good as Classic Seagal. But it's as good as the following: Absolution, A Good Man, and Belly of the Beast. Attrition was a decent effort. Seagal teams up Expendables style with mercenaries to kick arse. It's real martial arts action. Great hand-to-hand combat scenes!! Seagal at his Hard hitting, bone crunching best!!
I love dogs and Isle of Dogs. IOD is an extraordinary film and remarkable fable for the present day. Isle of Dogs is an allegory for today due to the inhumane treatment of canines (dogs are sometimes unfortunately abandoned, abused, and/ or killed). The film asked the question "What happened to man's best friend?" The heartfelt message rings 100% true and nothing compares to the loyalty & love that dogs give us. The stop motion animation was top notch and beautiful to watch! Excellent characters, setting, & story!! All "cultural appropriation" false accusations aside, all-in-all Isle of Dogs is a highly relevant/ symbolic film. Overall, it is up there with the all-time legendary stop motion animation classics such as "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer", "The California Raisins", and "Gumby". "Isle of Dogs" is an instant classic not to be missed/ dismissed
BRIGHT was a hybrid/ cross genre film blending sci-fi/ fantasy with crime/ drama & action. Don't trust critics! Approx 90% of the audience enjoyed BRIGHT. Will Smith delivered his trademark one liners and great action scenes. Highly recommend that you check out BRIGHT. Loved the haunting performance of Noomi Rapace! She was brilliant as the evil villain elf!! Joel Edgerton did an extraordinary job as the first Orc police officer. Some say that BRIGHT was an obvious allegory for the current state of politics/ race relations. After all Smith said "Fairy lives don't matter today". Which upset some people as well as Orcs being used as a metaphor for Minorities. However, the overall theme & moral of the story of BRIGHT was a positive message of different races working together toward a common goal. An orc, elf, and a human join forces to prevent an apocalypse (The return of The Dark Lord). BRIGHT had 3 million viewers in its first three days of streaming and received a limited theatrical release. I was fortunate enough to view BRIGHT at a movie theater. It definitely belonged up on the big screen. Netflix has green-lit a sequel to BRIGHT. Odds are that we will see Ward (w/ his new found BRIGHT powers) and his back-from-the-dead partner Jakoby battle The Dark Lord!!! Tikka needs to strengthen & improve on her magic abilities to help Ward & Jakoby. A sequel has great potential for expanding upon the story and characters. BRIGHT has something for everybody. It is the film version of a "renaissance man"/ "jack of all trades" seamlessly fusing sci-fi/ fantasy with crime/ drama & action.
