Fast X - 玩命關頭X

Fast X (玩命關頭X) is an 2023 film. The movie stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, and Sung Kang. X stands for 10 and this film is the 10th movie of the series.

Dom is in Europe and takes on a gig. The group splits up due to movie magic. Cypher comes to Dom for help as her gang has turned against her. Dom wants to help his friends now. Can the group survive Hernan Reyes? The son of Dante Reyes from getting his revenge?

The movie stops on a cliffhanger. You must wait for Fast XI to find out. Lots of strange things in the film that defy logic. You really need to treat this franchise as super hero in nature based on the stunts, etc. It is not based in reality but what looks cool.

By the way, Dante Reyes was the main antagonist from Fast Five (玩命關頭5).

I caught this via Peacook when I had it without ads.

The Flash - 閃電俠

The Flash (閃電俠) is an 2023 film. The movie stars Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, and Michael Keaton. The supporting cast include Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston, and Jeremy Irons. Many cameos including Nicolas Cage, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, George Clooney, and Ben Affleck. The movie is part of the DCEU that is getting discontinueed.

Barry wants to go back in time to save his mom. Barry starts to mess around, but creates an alternative timeline. Trying to save his mom still, he's stuck in a loop where he fights Zod's army without an Superman on the planet. Can Barry save his mom and the Zod crisis?

This was a hard movie to watch. The editing to the storyline felt like it was an afterthought. Maybe WB had already given up and just released it to get it out and maybe make some $$. Well, it'll probably make some back as The Flash is on many streaming platforms as I write.

2024 January Blockbuster Movie Guide

Here are the movies to look out for this month, US Edition.

January is traditionally a slow month for releases. Most releases this month are stuff that studios did in limited release at the end of the previous year before going wide in January or stuff they decided wouldn't get oscar buzz but have to release to make some bag in the "rental" and streaming space.

Night Swim





Memory





Noryang: Deadly Sea





Mean Girls (2024) (辣妹過招 2024)





The Beekeeper (蜂刑者)





Miller's Girl (師情化慾)
