    Transformers: The Last Knight (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3371366




    Director Michael Bay does it again!!

    Mark Wahlberg reprises his role as Cade Yeager from Transformers: Age Of Extinction, reuniting with old allies, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and bringing new allies and friends, in the continuing battle against Megatron's attempt to destroy Earth and the human race.

    Exciting, suspenseful, intelligent, witty, humorous, action packed, incredible stunts, amazing special effects, visuals and CGI, Michael Bay shows us once again why he is the best movie director in the world right now.

    Eat your heart out Christopher Nolan and J. J. Abrams and your narrow minded fanboys, y'all only wish your excuses for what barely passes for movies could be this good, you ducking over-rated hacks and tool losers!

    There will be a direct sequel to this film set for a 2019 release.

    Bring it on!!

    Unlocked (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1734493/



    A CIA interrogator and inguistic expert uncovers a major terrorist plot in London.

    Starring The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series Noomi Rapace as Alice Ravine, the main character.

    I rather enjoyed this.

    Rapace kicks some major ass in this including several physical fights and gun battles!

    Director Michael Apted (Nell, Gorillas In The Mist, the World Is Not Enough) and an all star cast of John Malkovich, Michael Douglas, Orlando Bloom, Toni Collette do a good job here:

    unfortunately, Unlocked was panned by the critics and it didn't do anything at the box office.

    It would had been nice to see a spin off film franchise series with Alice Ravine [and one with Lorraine Broughton], they would bring a much needed refreshing change to the male dominated spy thrillers genre composed of film franchises such as James Bond, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt.

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856101/

    **version watched: IMAX**









    What a stunningly, visually beautiful, cerebral and immersive movie.

    It was definitely worth the 35 years wait.

    I won't give the story away but at 2 hours and 43 min (including ending credits but not including previews),

    you will get your money and time's worth.

    In time, this film will surely and rightfully become a cult classic just like the original did.

    Trying to watch:

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2250912/

    This is NOT a Spider-Man movie.

    Sure there is a character in it named Peter Parker who has an alter ego of Spider-Man but that's just about it but this is not a Spider-Man movie.

    It's more like a generic copy cat Spider-Man wannabe movie in a B-movie.

    Plus it's also trying to be a left wing Political Correctness message!!

    There is no place for hidden Politics and Political Correctness messages and agendas in a Spider-Man movie.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2250912/



    This was not a Spider-Man movie!!

    This constant need to tie the comic books from one company, D.C., and comic books from the other company, Marvel, into 2 individual film franchises is getting annoying and banale and repetitive.

    It may be cute with the new clueless young movie audience many of whom never even actually picked up and read a super hero comic book; but for us older and wiser folks, they need to be separated into their individual worlds:

    Spider-Man is Spider-Man, Superman is Superman, Batman is Batman, Iron Man is Iron Man, etc etc

    Batman never meets Superman, Spider-Man never meets Thor, etc etc

    Spider-Man as part of the Avengers with Iron Man is not Spider-Man.

    Spider-Man already has his own super powers: he doesn't need Tony Stark and his technology.

    Look at the poster above: even with the title Spider-Man printed on it, it looks more like an Avengers film with Spider-Man making a guest cameo appearance. You have Iron Man and Tony Stark on the same poster.

    Heck, they should had threw in Captain America and Black Widow and the Incredible Hulk while they were a it! Why stop at only one Avengers character?

    Furthermore, the action scenes are so heavily CGI, it's very difficult to tell what's going on especially in the climax battle sequence.

    I can only give this movie

    War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3450958/



    Aside from the title being a bit deceptive, there wasn't much of a war of any kind in it, maybe a couple of skirmishes;

    this film was a powerful, touching way to bring a very satisfying and humane closure to a great film trilogy.

    Will there be another movie in the Planet Of The Apes reboot continuation?

    Only time will tell!

    The Terrorists (1975) aka Ransom

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073796/






    Story started out interesting. A group of terrorists hold the British Ambassador to Scandinavia hostage in his home along with his servants.

    Another group of terrorists hijack a commercial airliner that just landed at the nearby Scandinavia airport.

    It's set in Scandinavia, no, not the region, for the movie's intention and purpose, they say it's the fictional country of Scandinavia.

    The head of Scandinavia security (Sean Connery) along with representatives of the British and Scandinavia government tries to negotiate the release of both group of hostages without resorting to violence and bloodshed.

    The plot is a bit complicated at first and there is more to it than meets the viewer's eye.

    It stays interesting and holds your attention until about almost the end of the 2nd act and thebeginning of the 3rd and final act and then you are suddenly hit with a WTF ending!!

    This is what they came up with to explain the reasons for the entire 2 terrorist plots and to end the movie?

    As usual Sean Connery and Ian McShane do a good job but the movie could had used a longer first and second act and a better final act with a smarter ending.

    Stephen King's It (1990) 2-parts TV miniseries

    Part 2 - the adulthood years

    Stephen King's It (2017) aka Stephen King's It Chapter One

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1396484/



    4/5

    They are both good

    except

    the TV miniseries was better.

    Why?

    More characters development and study, the It was only shown in glimpses adding more tension to the horror, more heart and soul and emotional story;

    while the theatrical remake is more visual, less characters development and study, and shows too much of the creature;

    and of course, lots of gore, blood, gross parts and horror CGI - all of which could had been toned down a bit:

    it's a movie based on a Stephen King's novel, not an Eli Roth horror porn.

    Plus it doesn't end, you will have to wait until 2019 for the adult chapter of the story so they can double dip your wallet!!

    Valerian And The City Of a Thousand Planets (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2239822/





    When I first saw the trailer for this film about 5 1/2 months ago, I thought that this was director Luc Besson's comeback movie.

    After his early successes with La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element and The Professional, Besson got stuck in the rut that many great foreign writer-directors get stuck in after they go to Hollywood: cinematic formulaitic bad movies devoid of the wirter-director's original vision which put them on the critically acclaimed map.

    Movie flops like The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc and Lucy and Taxi and Bandidas and Colombiana.

    I guess I was mistaken.

    This movie is visually beautiful but that's about it. The storyline is confusing and muddled and some of the dialogue are asinine.

    After 2 hours and 17 min, you will come away wanting more and feeling empty.

    It's like a fancy French restaurant meal: pretty to look at but not enough substance and portion to fill up your tummy, quench your hunger and satisfy your mind.

    The Lighthorsemen (1987)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093416/






    True story about the Australian Light Horse infantry during World War 1 in this battle, which was part of the the Sinai and Palestine campaign:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle...ersheba_(1917)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinai_...stine_Campaign

    A nearly 4 years long (3 years and 9 months) Campaign just to take the Suez Canal and/or control the areas near it/around it.

    Then 22 some years later they did it all over again during World War 2.



    Thank God for Subtitles because they spoke true Australian dialect in this movie mixed with English and half of the time I couldn't understand what they were saying.

    Happy Death Day (2017)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5308322/



    Take Phil, the self centered, obnoxious, rude weatherman from Groundshog Day who is a major jerk and change his character into a girl and you have Tree (Teresa):





    the self centered, obnoxious rude college co-ed sorority girl in Happy Death Day, who is a major biotch.

    Just like Phil, Tree will re-live her day over and over and each time she will have to make some changes in her behavior so the next day will be slightly different from the previous day until she is able to break the deja vu cycle.

    The only difference between Phil's day and Tree's day is Tree is getting murdered each time; so not only does she wants to break the cycle, she needs to find out who is the killer that is killing her over and over.

    There are a couple of surprises here and the premise is very workable but the writers and director just couldn't bring it all together to make it work as a solid horror film which at times it's almost mocking itself.

    The PG-13 rating also impedes this movie to become truly scary and suspenseful because there is only so much you can do and get away with without it bordering on and/or earning an R-rating.

    2.75/5
