James' World 2

Bullet Train is an action comedy about an assassin who has to deal with many enemies while riding a Japanese bullet train. The film is directed by David Leitch and based on a screenplay by Zak Olkewicz that adapts the Japanese novel Maria Beetle (published in English as Bullet Train) by Kōtarō Isaka. The trailers for Bullet Train definitely encouraged you to dig in and dig in I did. I really liked the movie but thought it was one of the wildest I’ve seen in a long time. Well done David Leitch — see below, some of the controversies that plague this movie.

A former professional assassin, codenamed Ladybug (Brad Pitt), returns to work with a newly positive attitude. Because the usual contact, Carver (Ryan Reynolds), is forced to call out due to illness, Ladybug is tasked by his handler, Maria Beetle (Sandra Bullock), to collect a…

Nope is a science fiction horror film written, directed, and produced by Jordan Peele under his Monkeypaw Productions banner. Nope follows two ranch-owning siblings who attempt to capture evidence of an unnatural occurrence. The trailers are as mysterious as the film and don’t reveal much.  Peele hoped the title would elicit a reaction from audiences.  I was hoping for a good sci-fi movie and I got it. The film was a little slow and left much to the imagination but overall, it was pretty decent.

The film opens with the Bible verse, “I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile and make you a spectacle.” – Nahum 3:6.  In 1998, on the soundstage for the sitcom “Gordy’s Home”, the titular chimpanzee animal actor (Terry Notary) attacks and maims three of its co-stars after being startled by the pop of a helium balloon. The show’s youngest actor,

Elvis is a biographical musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner. The film follows the life of rock and roll icon, singer/ actor Elvis Presley told from the perspective of his manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Out of all the Elvis movies I’ve seen advertised, this version sparked my eye because the person playing Elvis is a dead ringer and of course, a believable, well know actor is co-starring. I thought the movie was entertaining and extremely well done.

The film opens in 1997 with Elvis Presley’s (Austin Butler) former manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), on his deathbed. Nursing a gambling addiction that has left him destitute, he looks back on how he first met the future King of Rock and Roll.

Elvis was very close to his parents, Vernon (Richard Roxburgh) and Gladys (Helen Thomson) Presley. …

Thor: Love and Thunder is a superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Thor. The film was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and the 29th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). “Love and Thunder” is directed by Taika Waititi, who co-wrote the script with Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. In this sequel, Thor attempts to find inner peace but must return to action and recruit a team to stop Gorr the God Butcher from eliminating all gods. I was a big fan of the Thor series but after seeing Love and Thunder, I’m not sure I’ll be seeing any future Thor sequels. Big disappointment jumping off!

Gorr / The God Butcher (Christian Bale) and his daughter, Love (India Rose Hemsworth), struggle in a barren desert. Despite their prayers to their god Rapu (Jonny…
