However, Aatami's legendary strength was of no match to these group of cruel Nazi  soldiers as he conquered them one by one and they all met tragic end or ultimate death. 

Note: If you like war movies this is something to watch for. Best foreign movie ever on that time period.

TRUE GRIT - This is a cowboy movie based from old movie starring John Wayne. The story of this movie revolves around a 14 year old Mattie Ross (Hailee Stanfield) whose father was murdered by Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). Mattie had to avenge the death of his beloved father and asked the help from the sheriff named Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) & Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon). All three of them braved the western territory to find the suspect and murderer. The ending is somewhat on the verge of unhappy ending because Mattie killed one of the bandits but she had fallen into the cave and was bitten by a venomous snake. Rooster Cogburn had to immediately rushed  to save her life but unfortunately she lost a part of her hand.

FEAR THE NIGHT - Starring the female action star  Maggie Q in her portrayal of Tess, the Iraqi war veteran who came home to America to attend her younger sister's bachelorette party in their parents farm house. On the way to the farm, Tess, her sister  and their group of friends stopped by at the convenience store and some rude guys started making fun of them sort of mockery. Tess came into the scene and manage to apprehend how tough those guys. Anyway, at the farmhouse the party started and everyone having so much fun but Tess feeling the anxiety and cannot join their happy moments. The celebrant sister came out to join Tess followed by the sister questioning Tess why she needs to spoil their sister's party. They were arguing when suddenly an arrow struck their younger sister's chest! Shocked of what had happened, the two older sisters took their younger sister's lifeless body inside the house and the next thing was more arrows hitting their house, walls and windows. Non-stop action followed. How they defeat those assailants? Watch for it.

Do you have PTSD? Do you have ANXIETY? Why so many people are worrying about the future? You know why? You don't have to be a war veteran to know and be aware that the war in other countries are being transferred already in your own countries. Be extra vigilant. Just like what an old professor/judge in my university, INFILTRATION happens most of the time when/where you least expect it to be.

Next

E.M.P. 333 DAYS -  Electro Magnetic Pulse in 333 days.

It all begins with the grandma and her grand daughter driving all the way home when suddenly a great explosion in the sky happened and their car stopped. They have to walk home. They live in a remote farm land where neighbors started looting and gridlock happened. It didn't show much of how EMP had caused havoc in urban areas though only in that one pertinent rural location. There is power outage and only old cars powered by gas can function. It's low budget movie. The movie should have great impact if they also showed the urban or larger cities of how a huge power outage could cause massive, deep impact of how Electro-Magnetic Pulse could cause the devastation of the population.

How about another war movie: THE GREAT RAID. This is a mix of American actors, Filipino actors and Japanese actors in portrayal of soldiers during the Japanese-American-Filipino war in Philippines. The highlights of the movie: Before the arrival of Gen. Douglas McArthur in Philippines, rescue mission led by high ranking American soldier (Benjamin Bratt) and a Filipino soldier (Cesar Montano) planned how to raid and attack the Japanese highly-secured prison camp for captured American soldiers most of them sick of malaria in Cabanatuan city. Story unfolds on how intelligence is passed through civilians, through religious community, and through health care workers/providers. What happened through this pathway has proven to be the wrong way as spies are everywhere and one by one health care workers were then taken out from work and scrutinized then unfortunately executed through firing squad. The raid was successful however the "two soldiers " who they want to survive and rescue did not. Yup, what a disappointment!

Worst Than Barbarians!

 Latest Movies We Watched Recently:

WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS - Whether this movie story is a true story or fiction it is something to think about as such story is somewhat what happened in the past actually based on History. 

The story revolves around the middle-aged Magistrate (Mark Rylance)  stationed in the isolated outpost waiting for the high ranking officer to arrive. Colonel Joll (played by Johnny Depp) arrived at the outpost together with his men (soldiers) and they were given warm welcome by the Magistrate then after the feast in which Colonel Joll didn't bother eat nor drink he was ushered to the prison to let him see the two prisoners wanted for stealing. The two thieves were punished good enough to admit their sins but the Colonel Joll was actually a cruel man with punishment and tortured so severe that one of the prisoners died. You know what he died of? You have to do the replay or rewind of the video or disc if ever you missed what he died of. The other prisoner who had an unknown wound covered with blood still alive and was taken by Colonel Joll to their unknown journey and the Magistrate has to be on his outpost for the rest of the days and months until another officer came to visit then another surprise of a indigenous woman turned out a Mongolian woman who was badly wounded and crippled. The magistrate was so compassionate and kind to adopt her, treated her well and make sure she was cured and able to consciously get home to her tribe. The magistrate and his men accompanied the Mongolian woman to her Mongolian tribe and the Mongols accepted his bulk of silver and spare their lives and two horses. However, when the Magistrate went back home he was prosecuted by the warrant officer (played by Robert Pattinson - The Twilight lead actor) for leaving his outpost. He was hanged from the tree dressed in a woman's clothing. The humiliation is so severe in some ways but his life was spared. Days passed by and suddenly all the soldiers were rushing in panic when one of the lone officers came back home alone sitting on the horse tied down and his upper skull missing. Where's the brain? His head's missing his brains! That's darn cruel message that lead them to evacuate right immediately. Everyone tried to escape and only the Magistrate and few of his men stayed to wait for the barbarians.

HUMANITY BUREAU - I hope this is just fiction. It cannot be a true story because this is worst than the Barbarians.

A Humanity Bureau agent portrayed by Nicolas Cage had to do his job by visiting those people in the government list for resettlement. Some of these people were living in certain isolated community and  receiving government assistance or benefit but because they were in the list for evacuation or resettlement they must comply with the law. However some people cannot accept the fact of being in those "resettlement" they become aggressive to fight for their rights. In that time period, harsh toxic environment where water is scarce and production of food has its limited supply the law must be obeyed that you must give more,  more than what you can take. At the end, do you know or want to know the ending? Or you should have to watch the ending for yourself?

MOVIES, Movies, etc.

 Lots of movies to watch:

GOLD - Suspense, drama, mystery movie. Once the handsome boy next door charm of Zac Effron being the attraction in all his movies however, in this movie you wont believe that Zac portrayed this challenging role of a poor drifter trapped in the harsh wilderness of the desertland in order to protect the gold that would change his life forever. However, too many demons in that desert and the end is somewhat you will never expect. 

MUD - Suspense, drama, action. Starring Matthew McConaghuey in his portrayal of a wanted man for killing the man who assaulted his gf (Reese Witherspoon). Two young kids helped him get all the materials for the boat to be functional. Mud is not Mad. Mud is the role name of the actor in this movie. I first thought "mud" is the mud you splashed in your eyes so that you can see (re: Bible Story).

KILL SHOT - Suspense, drama, action, mystery. Movie of betrayal. This story will help you not to trust anybody. Weird ending.

TOMORROW WAR - Suspense, drama, mystery, action, sci-fi movie. How the people from the future was able to time travel and warn the people at present time about the war that they cannot defeat? That's the story of the movie. Lots of action.

SAMARITAN - Suspense, drama, action, fiction. A different story for the action star Silvester Stallone something like "Thor."

CRIMINAL - Suspense, drama, action, fiction. Short appearance of Ryan Reynolds when his role was shortened when he died in the movie story and his brain was transplanted to the actor Kevin  Costner in his portrayal of a mysterious prisoner who will trace back all the memories so that they can get hold of the mysterious microchip that will unleash deadly catastrophic missiles. 

REVOLT - Suspense, action, aliens, sci-fi movie. How to stop alien invasion? That's the goal of this movie.

AFTERMATH - Suspense, drama,  true-life story of a construction worker  who suffered long depression when his wife and his daughter met tragic accident aboard a jetliner when it collided with a cargo plane. The blame was put on air traffic controller who was on duty. Arnold Schwarzenneger in his portrayal of the depressed husband who think  justice must be done by taking revenge as the last resort.

JOHN WICK Chapter 4: Totally Amazing!

 JOHN WICK Chapter 4. 

Just epic, too much action happening in this movie of Keanu Reeves feat with too many villains, including the IP MAN Donnie Yen. JOHN WICK 4 > One of the best movies of Keanu Reeves aside from his Matrix films that catapulted him as one of the greatest action star in the world. 

Donnie Yen in his portrayal as Mr. King - the blind assassin dueled with John Wick. Who would have thought that this movie has too many surprises? 

The manhunt for John Wick continues when the prize on his head has reached $40 Million dollars. The High Table had set the bar too high that global hunt to capture and kill John Wick had John almost turned black and blue but manage to survive until to the sunrise's duel match: Mr. King Vs John Wick. Who dies, who lives? WATCH FOR IT.

Google Will Pay 100 Million Dollars To Canadian Media Outlet?

 One hundred million dollars! Wow! I couldn't believe that Google will pay $100 HUNDRED MILLION annually to Canadian Feds for its Media Outlet as imposed in BILL C-18.  Really?!

I don't know. I just saw that in the news on TV.  Who's the owner of Google? Is it Mr. Sergey Brin? lol.

You know what? It's GOOD NEWS! Billionaires should better make donations or at least give, pay or at least have worthy loopholes to make amends.

100 Hundred million $$$$$$$$$$   annually is actually nothing compared to their BILLION/TRILLION DOLLARS Empire company. I think GOOGLE earns billion dollars weekly/month for all the advertising happening at their website. Google is the world's largest search engine. Have you ever used their Google map? Try to google your own location or your address and it will appear in the map, aerial view to the actual front and back view of your own house. If you saw your own house in that certain location and everything along side with that address, including trees, vehicles parked on those streets? You know that the drones and satellites had been in your location. That's how sophisticated their search engine much more scientific than those probes sent to the moon, Mars and other planets in the solar system.

One hundred million dollar is just probably a donation sort of. The owner of Google is just sooo richy, wealthy and showering in trillions dollars of his wealth.

Gerard Butler and His Movies

 It's foggy outside. Be careful when driving.

I was looking for FREE MOVIES to watch on our TV.  Then suddenly saw another movie of Gerard Butler. Anything about Gerard Butler is great! He is a great actor,very talented and all his movies are worthy of praise. Not a low budget movie that's for sure.

MISSION KANDAHAR is an action movie once again. Great acting! He should get an award. 

Hey you can wear night vision goggles while driving at night on highways without lamp posts. They should invent  goggles to see better on foggy horizons or foggy roads and highways.

Movies I already watched: Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, Angel Has Fallen, The Guardian, Grand Budapest Hotel, Greenland, Geostorm, Six Days Seven Nights, would you believe he was also in Philosopher's Stone (Harry Potter's), 300, Plane, etc.

When he was younger (maybe in his late twenty's he was a look-alike of Philippine's action star Rudy Fernandez).
