Bucky and the Red Gaurdian find out through his sources and goes to target location as well. Bucky and the assembled than have to assemble to take down Valentina who has been playing them all along. Will they be able to right the wrongs of Valentina?



I have not been consistent with Marvel lately and missed a couple of movies and all of the recent TV stuff on D+. As the internet chatter as been, I would agree that this Thunderbolts movie is a bit of a return to form. Will Fantastic Four and Doomsday rectify everything? It's hard to say as there was so much crap for so long.



I was not bored watching and the charater development was quite quick but satisfying. We have seen all these characters in the past and this movie gives us just a little more of what and who they are now. When they assembled, it made sense.

And you may have already found out that this movie is about depression and how to handle it. The story of the void and its shame rooms is evidence of that. And the film goes about dealing with this subject.

Not even a week in, the current cast is running around calling themselves "The New Avengers". Yikes! Cannot wait for the drama to unfold.

Logan Lucky - 羅根好好運

Logan Lucky (羅根好好運) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, and Daniel Craig. The supporting cast include Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes, Hilary Swank, Katherine Waterston, and Sebastian Stan. The movie is a heist film in the genre that Steven Soderbergh does so well in.

Channing Tatum has a great plan to rob NASCAR, but they he helps. Enter his brother, played by Adam Driver and Daniel Craig as an locked up robbery expert. But things never go as expected and the FBI starts to get involved. Can Tatum and his crew outsmart the FBI and get away with the money?

This movie was not what I expected. I basically looked at the cast and decided I was going to watch this. But I had no idea it was an heist movie nor from Steven Soderbergh. The acting was great, the story kept me engaged and I was very entertained. I would recommend that you give this film a try.

I rented this via Redbox and currently on Amazon Prime Videos.

I, Tonya - 老娘叫譚雅

I, Tonya (老娘叫譚雅) is an 2017 movie. The film stars Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, Julianne Nicholson, and Bobby Cannavale. The movie is an biographical portrayal of Tonya Harding, a USA Olympic figure skater in the early 1990s. Tonya Harding has also openly supported the movie.

Story starts in 1973 when Tonya was 3 years old and showed skating talent at a local ice rink. Fast forward through some childhood struggles with family and money, we get to Tonya meeting Jeff Gillooly, her first husband through the 1994 Winter Olympics. The story takes an extended stop for their love story and her skating career in high school. It dives into more of her relationship with her mom and how hard it was on her. It also show how her "white trash" exterior lead to unfair scores and her constant battle with the system. Eventually, it leads to her landing her triple axle and eventually making both the 1992 and 1994 winter Olympics.

This was a good movie. I was totally waiting for the next step and wanted it to continue. I thought the pace was good and I felt compassion for Tonya at the end of the film. Unfortunately for me, I didn't start to follow the Winter Olympics until Michelle Kwan search for gold during the late 1990s and early 2000s. I was also a young lad in school, whom didn't really follow sports outside of the Lakers, Angels, and Dodgers. I had only heard of those stories because it was unescapable for a certain period time. So, to see this movie presented was a new fresh blast from the past.

However, I won't be watching this again. It was a good one watch I would recommend it to friends my age type of movie.
