Aquaman - 水行俠

Aquaman (水行俠) is an 2018 film. The movie stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard, reprising their roles from Justice League (正義聯盟). The supporting cast include Randall Park, Willem Dafoe, Patrick Wilson, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Temuera Morrison, and Nicole Kidman. This is the sixth film of the DC extended universe. This film is directed by James Wan



The different kingdoms of the underwater world have long stayed hidden from the surface world. However, with mounting discontent, two kingdoms seek to unify them all for an all out attack on the surface world. But many do not and seek the help of the now famous Aquaman. When mounting disasters caused by huge tidal waves hit the shores of the world hard, Arthur, the Aquaman, makes a trip to Atlantis to see what he can do. Arthur needs to find the original trident and take over the throne to stop the war. Can the Aquaman live up to expectations of him in order to save the world?

I like this movie a lot. It was a fun watch. BUT you do need to put your realistic hat away and just go with it. It IS a super hero movie and you should set your expectations so forth. The underwater realm was realistic and I like how it was easy to tell between land and sea. The acting was what you expect. James Wan's makes improvements to his action repertoire after his first turn with Furious 7. It's Wan's world and we're just living in it.

3 Days To Kill - 特務殺很大

3 Days To Kill (特務殺很大) is an 2014 film. The film stars Kevin Costner, Amber Heard, Hailee Steinfeld, and Connie Nielsen. The movie primarily takes place in France.

Kevin Costner is a life long CIA operative, Ethan Renner. So much so that he's alienated his wife and daughter whom live in France. After a assignment that leaves him unconscious, Ethan is diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer which has spread to his lungs. Ethan is told that he's got only a few months to live and "retired" from the CIA. Back in the real world, Ethan goes back to France to try to make things "right" with his wife and daughter. But his past catches up to him and he has to fight to keep his family alive.

This movie was pretty fun to watch. I originally thought the title meant that he could kill anyone in 3 days. But it was in reference to the three days his wife goes on a business trip and leaves him with the daughter.

Seems like a Liam career move here, going for the hard hitting action as a father figure. I like it, but the public didn't. Costner is trying hard to stay relevant. I thought this movie had endearing parts worth watching.

Drive Angry

Drive Angry is an 2011 film starring Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard.

Nicolas Cage plays a father that escapes hell to exact revenge on a leader of a cult who killed his daughter and has his grandchild. Cage plays someone that's already dead so he can't be killed. Amber Heard is saved by Cage and comes along for a ride. Nothing romantic happens between the two. If anything, its more of a father/daughter relationship. All hell breaks lose with he find the cult.

This is a guilty pleasure type of film. Don't try to reason with it, just let the violence entertain you. Things explode, bad guys are killed, and there are lots of car chases! Dood, its the 70s action movie genre all over again.

Never Back Down

Just watched "Never Back Down" tonight while washing 2 nights of dishes. Sorry, I didn't clean up last night.

It was quite enjoyable. The story was a little immature, but its justifiable because the main characters are in High School still.

Stuff like this wouldn't happen in College. Unless you watch van wilder or accepted. Where "pride" and "honor" is important.

In this case, you gotta fight to stop fighting because you fought once before. Makes sense I guess, if you like to fight!

Good fighting for the most part. Reminds of the old kung fu revenge movies. Although this storyline isn't about revenge, it can play to that aspect.

I rented it, you can too.
