"Corny & Over-Acted". A man from a wealthy and politically powerful family is accused of rape and murder. Even though the man is clearly guilty, his crack defense lawyer must get him off or his pre-teen daughter dies.  The defendant is the girl's natural father and she needs a bone marrow transplant or she dies of leukemia. This legal thriller was so unlikely that it pushed the boundaries of even Bollywood melodrama. A character is offered a job paying $1.2 million Indian rupees per annum and that is approximately $12,600 usd. 1045am: The single gummy was a pleasant & well modulated blast and I wonder if it was the...

Plenty of sunshine and temps to upper 70's.  Watched 'BLACKOUT' (Netflix). A 'secret agent' finds himself in a hospital on the US/Mexico border and he doesn't remember anything. A Mexican cartel, the DEA, and the CIA attack the hospital to get the missing $20,000,000 and 'the briefcase that contains the names of all the bad guys in the world'. This might have looked OK in the writer's room, but the final product was no better than a student film. Unconvincing fight scenes and lots of running down corridors while miraculously dodging machine gun fire; with Josh Duhamel, Abbie Cornish, Nick Nolte (he was 81 years old when the film was shot and he looked every s...

Watched 'TWIN MURDERS: THE SILENCE OF THE WHITE CITY' (Netflix). A novelist is in jail for committing murders that seemed to be reenacted from his fiction, but now it looks like a copycat killer is on the loose. The killer poses his victims as Adam & Eve and they are strapped naked (but tastefully covered with sunflowers) to a table and murdered by being forced to inhale bees. Basically, they are stung to death from the inside out. The film features lots of jogging and ferocious foot chases around and through picturesque castles and cathedrals. The film is based on a novel by Eva Garcia Saenz de Urturi. This book was immensely popular and thousands of fans came to Vitoria-Gasteiz to follow literary tours that feature the real-life settings from the book. I had seen this before and gave it o...

A forensic cleaner (who is a retired cop) is sent to clean up after the grisly murder of a mobster who has a book containing the names of all the bent cops in the department. He learns that his ex partner was having an affair with the lady of the house and the murder had nothing to do with corruption within the police force. It's a well-done 'B- Movie' and well worth a look; with Samuel L. Jackson, Ed Harris, Eva Mendes, Luis Guzman, Robert Forster. "49" Metascore and I would bump that to "75".  Directed by Renny Harlin who is "the most successful Finnish film director in the history of Hollywood".  Although the film was shot mainly in Shreveport, Louisiana, the setting of the film is Trenton, New Jersey and o...

When they won the revolution, none of the European powers would trade with the new country. However, France made an agreement that they would resume trade only if the Haitians paid back the slave holders. The nation of Haiti didn't pay this ...

I have vowed to tackle the lawn; hack the 'gardens' in back and maybe even mow the grass for the last time this season. {only some of what actually happened} Watched 'SURVIVING HURRICANE OTIS' (Netflix). An almost silly tale about a couple of half brothers who are employed on a moored yacht during Hurricane Otis. Kind of like a clumsy 'The Perils of Pauline' set at sea with two guys on a mid-sized boat during a hurricane. Lots of soaked clinging bodies while the special effects machines roar. A documentary about the real storm would have been far more interesting. We 10/25/23- Acapulco, Mexico: The actual weather front developed so quickly that people went to sleep thinking it was only...
